    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    I would love to have beauty parlours back. Not day spas, beauty parlours. Imagine having your hair styled, your nails manicured, and your skin treated all in one lovely perfume scented place.

    I believed you, it worked :) I like your vintage picture by the way, Tom!

    The general decline in standards today

    I don't have any problem with the military setting the bar that high - as I said, its common sense. I didn't mean to say anyone under 5'4" couldn't do the job, I was just using it to illustrate a point. Someone of my particular stature, man or woman, just doesn't have the muscle mass to...

    Driving Examiner: Congratulations, you passed your test. Me: Thank-you! And thank-you for not making me parallel park! Driving Examiner: That's between you and me. It's only because I couldn't find a place for you to do it. :D

    A question for the red heads...

    Not a problem! :) I'm much better at colour than I am at hairdressing. If you can get your hands on Wella Koleston Perfect, I used 12/07 in Special Blonde and 8/43 in Vibrant Reds. Here is the site with their swatches - they're a bit small, but you'll get the idea. You want a rich honey...

    Dita Von Teese

    It is said that the reason why many men love Chanel No. 5 on a woman is because it reminds them of their mothers and childhood. It's not hard to imagine why - There is a distinct overtone of baby powder. My boyfriend wore a cologne very similar to Lagerfeld on our first date, and I couldn't...

    Is "Retromania" destroying culture?

    One very recent example of this was the "nostalgia wave" of the 1970s that gave us Grease and Happy Days. Compared to that, one thing can be said for the current trend: at least we aren't romantically idealizing it!

    I haven't parallel parked since my second test. I don't know how in the Sam Hill I managed it that time. I don't plan to do it again after this! Thanks for the luck :)

    The general decline in standards today

    They seem to be mandated more socially than legally. Like Pompidou says, you need a few of each to avoid discrimination claims. If you've ever worked for a human rights lawyer, you'll know these claims are tossed around often, and with fervor.

    Vintage 1950's Christmas Festivities

    My dad says they're called "multi-plugs." The best answer is always the most obvious lol No, but they make you drive cooler. ;) You guys have the equivalent, if not the more violent Black Friday anyway. This past one, I heard two people got trampled underfoot at a Wal-Mart!

    Dita Von Teese

    Ooo it's in a classic atomizer too (but I'm not surprised in the least :D) I can't wait to smell it!

    Is "Retromania" destroying culture?

    It's a crying shame - Before that song, I didn't know she had such a beautiful voice. Nostalgia, summon thy wrecking ball!

    Hilarious lol The only time a bird has done me wrong was when I was about 11, sitting on my back patio wearing pants, and it happened on my thigh. Everybody laughed, but I ran into the house in due course. (PS, my neighbours have a Solstice convertible, it's a pretty funky car!) I need good...

    Will nostalgia destroy pop culture? Gee, I hope so.

    A question for the red heads...

    Ahh, that's a true Strawberry Blonde, and its easy to get but impossible to keep. My hair grows that colour, though much less vibrantly than when I was a kid. A few years back, I succeeded in finding the formula to get it - half honey blonde, half light copper - but the copper washes out...

    The general decline in standards today

    I'm glad to hear the UK is keeping their heads about the issue. Contrarily, the US and Canada had a real onslaught of "affirmative action" in the past 10-12 years. Here in Canada, it's a common joke that you need a turban to get a government job, particularly as a police officer (all kidding...

    Funny, odd, or the most absurd ads you have ever seen....

    Oh yes, and it must be British lol

    High School Football in the '30s and '40s

    I haven't got any historical info, but in the movie The Male Animal (1942), there is a huge football game and pep rally right at Midwestern University. If you haven't seen it, it will probably give you a good idea, and its a good story too :)

    Yes, a 2000 Grand Am, and I think they were bulkier than the '02 to '04 models. I had some stuff loaded in the trunk for the dump one time, and it weighed in just shy of 4 000, so thats about right :) You're very nice about it :p I swear like a sailor at them when they do that. They're...
