    Help each other identify classic movies/TV shows

    Conundrums, conundrums... Did you ever catch a scene in the middle of a classic movie or TV show, and had your interest piqued, but you had to stop watching for whatever reason, and you never got around to finding out what movie or show it was? Or you remember a scene, or characters, or some...

    Batman the Animated Series

    IMO, the first two seasons of Batman: TAS are the definitive on-screen depiction of the Batman mythos, in any format.

    Unappreciated masterpieces?

    I don't know if I would call it a masterpiece, but I like Tucker: The Man and His Dream. When I finally decided to buy it, the DVD had gone out of print, so I ended up paying over thirty bucks for it. And apparently, it's still out of print, judging by the current prices on Amazon and Ebay.

    "Star Trek": 50 years ago today

    I love the original Star Trek. It's the only one that fits with vintage living!

    The Most Interesting Man in the World

    I will miss these commercials. I am not one of those who dismiss all advertising out of hand. Some of it can be very creative and enjoyable.

    Bumper stickers and license plates

    I once got a used car from a private party, that still had some dealer's license plate frame on the front and back. I replaced both with plain black ones. One time when I took the car into a dealer for some work, I took it home and found they replaced the plain frames with theirs without asking...

    Bumper stickers and license plates

    I prefer a small, discreet window sticker or two. I find bumper stickers to be uncouth and ugly.

    Dinner and Dancing

    In the closest big city to me, there is an old, historic building that has a large ballroom and a smaller dance hall that both have various ballroom, swing (sometimes with a live band!), and Latin dance nights, as well as a restaurant/bar, all on the same floor of the building, but in completely...

    The Man Purse Aka. THE MURSE YES or NO ?

    To me, it depends on what the bag looks like. And I call it a "messenger bag" or a "satchel." I only jokingly refer to a bag as a "man-purse" if it looks stereotypically feminine.

    Cuban cigars now legal in USA.

    I don't smoke. What's the word on Cuban rums? I would love to get a bottle of real Havana Club.

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Guinness from a nitro can, to go with my sausage/egg/potato hash dish for dinner.

    Looking for affordable dress wrist watches

    Yes. I wear the Easy Reader almost every day.

    Favorite hair styling products: Pomade/brylcreem/etc...

    I did notice that Murrays Super Light seems to have a thinner consistency than it used to. I might need to mix in a bit of the regular kind.

    1930's and 1940's Household Products

    I buy this from Target to use at home. I don't know if it's the original formula, though.

    New US Maker of DE Razors - great article

    Several years ago I got a brand new Merkur (from Germany) DE razor for about forty bucks. They've probably been making the same designs for decades. And a bit later a friend who collects antiques gave me an adjustable vintage mid-century DE safety razor for free. Maybe I shouldn't have bought...

    Retro gym equipment?

    I hope it's OK to resurrect this thread. I am into vintage fitness as well, but specifically inspired by the late forties and into the fifties. Based on much reading and actual practice, I feel that physique-focused training really came into its own at that time. Much of today's fitness is...

    Wearing vintage is considered costumes.

    I think I'm going to go there dressed like I just walked off of the set of Mad Men (like I do almost every day without any reaction from anybody) and see if my period costume slips by.

    Looking for affordable dress wrist watches

    I have one Stauer watch (the self-winding "Graves '33" design). While they look cool, and $150 for their nicer-looking designs may be considered "affordable" when it comes to dress watches, I think the price should be much lower than that, based on the level of quality. One time it stopped...

    Favorite hair styling products: Pomade/brylcreem/etc...

    I looked through several months' worth of thread titles and didn't see a topic specifically for this. So what do you put in your piece to get that vintage 'do? When I was first getting into vintage living, I just put in hair tonic for some shine, but of course it doesn't have any hold. Then I...

    Where can I find 1940's/50's T-shirts

    Do you have any links showing examples of the type you are looking for? I'm thinking of a Marlon Brando or James Dean kind of look.
