    Semi-Formal Wedding in NYC- What?

    That sounds accurate to me! Styles in skirt lengths, hemlines, necklines, design etc. change all the time too, making it a little more confusing since cocktail and party dresses could be worn for either event, depending on the dress.

    The general decline in standards today

    That's decidedly not a path best traveled.

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

    Don't you know why they and everyone else in the world is like that? It's the eternal quest to become PC! A losing battle IMHO, since humans are opinionated creatures and will always have preferences, philosophies, and persuasions, and other humans will always be offended by them. I had this...

    Semi-Formal Wedding in NYC- What?

    I think you've got them mixed up. Going by the most widely used definitions, party dresses are the sparkly, sequined, frou-frou affairs, and modern ones show a lot of skin. Cocktail dresses are a shade more formal, and while they do have embellishments and usually lush fabrics, they aren't as...

    Hilarious! That one and The Rabbit of Seville are two of my very favourite episodes ever! No matter how many times I see Elmer Fudd come out in a wedding dress, it's always so hilarious. The other funny one with those two is Slick Hare, when Elmer is a chef in a restaurant and Humphrey Bogart...

    Semi-Formal Wedding in NYC- What?

    You're not an old frump, you're the last sane person on the planet ;) I think more casual styles are whats considered appropriate these days, though. For my cousin's wedding next year, when I told my mother what I plan to wear, she said I needed to tone it down, a lot!

    Dita Von Teese

    Just her no make-up pictures, but she still looks darling. My theory is that she cryogenically froze Sydney Guilaroff in 1997.

    That is a hard question! I love Elmer Fudd and Sylvester :D And of course Bugs Bunny! Mae and James, good for you for exposing the kids to quality programming!

    Semi-Formal Wedding in NYC- What?

    Every wedding I've gone to, regardless of the couples' age or the location of the wedding, I've always felt overdressed. People show up in blue jeans, flip flops, and one time, Birkenstocks, and many ladies have bare legs and wear party dresses. Even the bridal party seems casual - Men take...

    Dita Von Teese

    It isn't fair! She must have incredibly pliable hair to keep those big waves. Mine always fall out.

    Oh me too, but I have the DVD sets :D I don't know of any mainstream channel that still broadcasts them - Do you remember that nonsense some years back about parents protesting it because it was exposing their children to violence? I think that still sticks. Personally, I never thought of...

    What are you listening to?

    I can't get enough of Ella Fitzgerald's Broadway, from her album Rhythm is My Business. It's so upbeat!

    What to do about freckles and blood vessels

    Thanks so much for your replies, ladies! Clabbergirl, I've never been able to find a trichloroacetic acid peel on the shelf. Do you know of any brand names?

    My parents had a TV like that - wood encasement, sits on floor - when I was about four years old, I remember watching Looney Tunes on it!

    The Wifely Duties

    I agree with you, but just because a mother has a full-time career doesn't necessarily mean her children will suffer. I had a friend when I was about 13 who had four siblings aged 9-17, and their mother was single with a very busy job as an insurance claims adjuster. She ran a tidier and more...
