    Sexy lingerie

    Here, here! :) I must confess that I often forgo the slip, but my fitted skirts are all made of sturdy enough fabrics that the garters don't show much.

    The Wifely Duties

    Well written, and no offense taken whatsoever :) Marriage really isn't seen as a partnership anymore, especially by men. The old "ball and chain" joke has become somewhat of a reality in their eyes. I'm not surprised at the high rate of divorce today, what with the whole female empowerment...

    Reading about such nice people like you makes me feel like an awful witch!

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

    I'm not disputing that - In fact, I applaud her for it! In my defense, I learned a long time ago that I can't make everyone happy, and I'm not going to try. Someone will always be upset by what I do, and that's fine - Just mind your own business and get off the soapbox. I keep my opinions to...

    The Wifely Duties

    That was a new thought entirely, nothing to do with your post. And like I say, because men have never fought in such numbers against their roles in a marriage, they aren't so much in debate. Also, like was discussed in another thread, women today are told to be independent, make their own...

    Cuba ends ban on new cars

    Exactly. Here, vintage cars are a sought after novelty, but when you're unable to own a nice, new car, it sort of reverses.

    I have one - I was just wondering where it was for when I run out the door Seattle bound! :p The exchange rate is saddening for us Canucks at the moment. It's the first time in a long time we've been below parity with the USA. You're a modern Eleanor Roosevelt, Rue! :)

    The Wifely Duties

    Yes - If you work, you're neglecting your children. If you stay at home, you're a burden on society. And ironically enough, the people who decide if your choice is wrong are other women. Like any decision you make in life, someone will always be upset. Social issues like this become...

    Right. Banter breaks out in nearly every thread I read, and not just by the Hollywood 10. If you don't want to read it, scroll past it. It doesn't require too much kinetic energy.

    The Wifely Duties

    I believe it's because we're still viewing men and women in the traditional "a man is a breadwinner" and "a woman's place is in the home" ways. The only difference is, the woman's image is being fought tooth and nail. It's interesting to note that stay at home fathers, and fathers who take...

    Vintage 1950's Christmas Festivities

    Oh my, yes. Its so terribly anti-climatic. That's the only part I don't like. That confuses me too. When I was younger, the only presents we opened on Christmas Eve were specifically from family. Santa brought everything the next morning. My poor parents, being woken up by hyper children...

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    That's when my grandparents were born :p I really enjoy the Johnny Carson show! I liked when Dean Martin roasted him, too. That was good comedy.

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

    That is just plain backward. This person quite obviously hasn't noticed the human phenomenon of building confidence from the outside in - When people see you positively, you see yourself positively (Thanks, Charles Cooley!) There is the reason I loved working as a make-up artist. A woman...

    Don't apologize, Rue. If he's such a good "stepbacker and clamuper," he wouldn't have gone to the trouble to post that comment in what he considers the worst offending thread. I adore smoked salmon, or any other way its cooked :D My boyfriend and I made a whole pile of salmon sashimi one...

    What makeup are you wearing today?

    Unless you want to throw down $46.00 (£28.50) for Diorshow mascara, it's probably better to improve your technique. We used to teach this one at Sephora, and it really works: Close the eye you're working on, and position the mascara wand at the very base of your lashes. Roll the wand around...

    Sexy lingerie

    Ahh, my old workplace. Over here they have more of a Katy Perry "retro-style" influence, but I'm looking at the UK website, and your styles are much cuter! A few years ago I found a metal clip garter belt there, and I'm proud to say it's still going, unlike the others I've found from other...

    That's what I call a happy ending! I love saltwater oysters :) You have got to be kidding me! It's a staple appetizer in Mediterranean restaurants, breaded miniature squid! It's divine with Tahini!

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    Mine too lol But I'm thankful for the modern invention of DVD sets, which allow me to watch those great programs whenever the fancy takes me.
