    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    You know what vintage thing I would like to have back? News and weather casters that will just tell me the news and weather. I don't want to hear about the cute thing their kids did before the headline story, and I don't want to be told that the weather across Eastern Canada is "status quo"...

    A question for the red heads...

    You could strip the colour completely with colour corrector, but it will damage your hair, and you'll more than likely end up dropping a lot of cash to recolour it... Not much fun. If you want a shampoo that really attacks your colour, see if you can find Prell. It's so cheaply made, its...

    Have you ever had a stranger photograph you...when you were dressed vintage?

    If she had done that to me, I would have really given her something to look at.

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    My grandmother used to call the couch a "Chesterfield" lol She also referred to carpet as "the broadloom," and the landing as "the vestibule." It must have been a Golden Era thing to refer to most items by their brand names. I'll admit that "the car" doesn't have the same ring as "the Pontiac."

    RIP Steve Jobs, 1955-2011

    I understand that people close to Mr. Jobs may not see the difference, but you're right, nobody is attacking him personally. He had a creative mind, and he gave us great technological advancements with it - That is not in dispute. Innovative work is bound to incite the discussion of where it...

    I don't do so well with most chemicals, especially in pure form :p When I took chemistry in high school, I sat down in a puddle of bromine. It ate through my lab coat, my uniform pants, and a few layers of skin on my posterior. Never did figure out how or why a corrosive chemical ended up on...

    Loungers' Pets

    I'll say! I found an American possum hiding in my trash can one night... Scared me half to death. Those ones are cute :)

    That works well even with rollers. I don't like sponge rollers though. I used to use them, but I've found that you have to use superhuman effort not to wind the hair too tightly, otherwise the curls come out impervious to brushing, especially the longer your hair gets. If you practice, you...

    Perfumes....

    Ah, you must like slightly sweet fragrances. :) I found Flowerbomb a bit too sweet, but it's a popular seller. The bottle probably helps! If anyone likes warm, vanilla-type fragrance, the Juicy Couture like is positively yummy!

    The living room of my grandparents in the late 30's

    That is a great picture! I love the shape of the chairs. :) Are you doing some family history research? Its amazing how many interesting things you can find out - In my research, I found out my maternal grandparents lead quite the colourful life.

    The Wifely Duties

    I think you're right. But, speaking as a hobbyist, I just don't understand how TV can have the same effect. I have quite a few TV shows I enjoy watching, but they bore me after a while. It doesn't occupy my hands or, more importantly, my mind as well as knitting, cross stitch, dress making...

    There's a pretty big thread about fragrance in The Connoisseur, you might get some ideas there. http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?12870-Cologne-and-perfume A boyfriend bought me a bottle of Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle when I was 15, and I've worn it ever since. Funnily enough...

    If you're using a URL, uncheck the box that says "retrieve remote files and reference locally." You can't upload photos from the computer, even though the option is there.
