    Vail on a hat any advice please

    Thanks :D We shall see. I'm sure the boyfriend will have a good laugh, anyway. I'm not sure what eras finer mesh is correct for, actually. It's worth a little research. I know I usually see 50s and early 60s hats with wider mesh.

    Sexy lingerie

    That's another reason why many people now likely prefer pantyhose - Modern skirts are too short for stockings. Even with ones just above the knee, I don't see how you could crouch or sit down cross-legged without giving a peep show.

    Vail on a hat any advice please

    I have a miniature top hat (very Cabaret style) with a black veil on it, and so far I haven't had the courage to wear it out the door - They always feel too dressy for normal wear to me. I want to wear it to a play next week, though. However, whenever I have worn it in front of the mirror...

    How very interesting! I would love a doorbell like that :D

    The Wifely Duties

    She won't be happy, Tom - She will come to regret the impulsive decision she made, becoming miserable and frustrated. Soon she will start blaming the poor guy she married for everything she missed. Be thankful you aren't him - You don't want to be with an impetuous, emotionally immature woman...

    For Wearing 'Golden Era' Vintage, Are Men Socially Castigated More than Women?

    I read that in some places, but in many others I read that she dresses like an old lady. [huh] I don't think so, and I too hope it takes.

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    I would! I always manage to get gasoline all over my hands, no matter how careful I am. Plus, think of all the summer jobs - My dad was a service station attendant when he was a teenager, which is as good a way as any to earn pocket money.

    First Dates

    I concur - One of my most oft used phrases is "If you don't want my opinion, don't ask for it." I say it to preface an opinion that I know that person isn't going to like, so they can't really be angry at me for it when they hear it. If you've ever known someone who's SO was stepping out on...

    For Wearing 'Golden Era' Vintage, Are Men Socially Castigated More than Women?

    I think you nailed it, Lizzie. Many women today see the aforementioned "classic style" as aging, though. If you wear something in black with few accessories, you can't really go wrong.

    Scalp treatment

    It does sound interesting, like it would give you a nice tingly sensation :) I've been having minor hairline irritations lately, and I think I might try it myself. Tell us how the treatments work, WD!

    I cheated! And with a co-worker whom I like BETTER! What to do?!

    Ooo... This is a tough one. The way I see it, you either have to tell "O" straight and risk hurting her feelings, or avoid her and see "G" when "O" isn't there. Unless they work the same set hours, that's probably your option. If you're going to tell "O" straight, though, you might say that...

    Battling the Elements, or: Why I Hate St. Petersburg

    Concealers are difficult for lots of people. They are either too pink or too yellow on me, aswell. Lighting is also a problem because it may look perfect in one light, but stick out like a sore thumb in another. :( Good skin doesn't come naturally to me either, but I learned how to take care...

    If you said you looked like one celebrity from the Golden Era...

    You remind me quite a bit of Audrey Totter, queen of the Film Noir bad gals. She played a good part in The Unsuspected (1947).

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    Just a different way of doing things, I suppose :) It does make it infinitely harder for teenage boys to wrap their lips around the opening and guzzle it, like they are fond of doing with cartons and 2 litre pop bottles. Isn't that fun? It also enlightens you to how sticky milk can become...

    The Wifely Duties

    I think you've made the right decision there. I'm not sure what motivates parents to push their children into all kinds of extracurricular activities (believing them to be gifted, wanting them out of their hair) but children are quite happy to spend quiet time at home. I think if one is going...

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    They are surprisingly impervious to cat claws (I speak from experience.) What you have to worry about more is cutting the little hole in the corner too big, or not fitting it properly in the holder. The bag sort of flops over and milk goes gushing everywhere when this happens.

    Excessive posting? ... Interesting.....

    My grandfather, who was from northern Italy, always used to mix his English and Italian words up in the same sentences with hilarious results. He used to sing the song "Guantanamera" as "one tonne of merda" ('scuse my French (no pun intended)) lol I have to admit, it does kind of sound like...

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    Reminds me of the last huge antique fair I went to, and at one of the stands was a lunchbox with Ben Casey on it, which two middle aged gents were admiring. I said "Look, Dad, it's Ben Casey" and the two men stared at me with eyes like saucers. Once they were able to speak, they rambled on...

    Battling the Elements, or: Why I Hate St. Petersburg

    I'm still not sold - Foundation can be more of a headache than it's worth in cold, windy weather. Rich moisturizers and night creams will keep your skin from getting dry and chapped, and they won't shift in the wind like foundation would. Also - and this is the big one - They won't encourage...
