    Thinking about a tattoo, but is it what good girls did in the 1940's?

    That's hilarious! :D I snapped a pic of it: That drawing came off the top of the artist's head, too, after a thoroughly unorganized barrage of ideas from me. I think he did a great job!

    Childhood, Today's Kids...and The Goonies

    I firmly believe this, just as firmly as I believe it should be common sense. My father has a work colleague with small children, who refers to spending time with them as "babysitting" and once made this remark about e-readers: "They're great. I can put a book on there and my kids don't bother...

    Life In the Penthouse-Look At ME!

    I know what you mean, koopkooper. I get many comments, almost always nice, on my vintage look, but the "attention seeker" assumptions come from the white streak in my hair. It's not artificial: That part grows gray from a condition called poliosis, and it just needs a bit of peroxide to turn...

    Your Dream Job

    I adore the sound of your shop :) Reminds me: my boyfriend once took me to a cupcake shop near his university campus, and I was in heaven! They had every kind of colour, decoration and flavour of cupcake you could dream up. I would love to own that shop, if only I possessed an ounce of...

    Childhood, Today's Kids...and The Goonies

    I see the double standard of this a lot. Just the other night on an evening walk, I saw a woman pushing the seat of her young son's bicycle along as he learned to ride. A nice scene, but she was on her cellphone at the time. It seems as if people's attentions these days are so divided (a...

    Coming this fall: ABC's "Pan Am" -- "Mad Men" in the skies?

    I will! :) I'll watch it with my mum, too, and I'm sure other people will watch, so there will be a few slants.

    J. Edgar - New Flm with Leonardo DiCaprio

    This reminds me of Myrna Loy portraying Billie Burke in The Great Ziegfeld - Great actress, but bad fit. I just don't see the resemblance between Hoover and DiCaprio, young or old. DiCaprio's voice is all wrong aswell. There must have been a better actor out there, unless this script was...

    Coming this fall: ABC's "Pan Am" -- "Mad Men" in the skies?

    Pan Am is premiering this Sunday (at least in my neck of the woods, I think it's the same everywhere.) I'm still going to watch it, and I'll try to keep an open mind.

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

    Oh, probably. Samrita wasn't cruel, she was just incredibly rigid. In Mrs. Porrier's class, when we finished lunch, we were allowed to pack up our Tupperware and read a book for the rest of the time. I did the same thing on my first day in Samrita's class. She swooped down on me, plucked the...

    The general decline in standards today

    Isn't that strange? My favourite aunt used to work at the upscale food merchant David Wood, and she had the most horrifying experience (the WALL). I won't tell the rest here for many reasons, but mostly because we all have imaginations, and like to keep our meals down. On the other end of...

    What's on Top - Bras, panties, garter belts, slips, & stockings

    Too bad they went out of business before you posted that picture here, because I would have given them a significant economic boost!

    Thinking about a tattoo, but is it what good girls did in the 1940's?

    I've been itching for a new one for a while, but the right idea hasn't come along yet. I'm pleased as punch with my pink cupcake, Betty Boop, and Sailor Jerry pin-up though, so I really don't need more lol

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

    Gawsh, I skip a day and 5 more pages happen lol I had a few kindergarten teachers: Mrs. Riley for junior kindergarten (Had a huge gray beehive, plastic earrings, and long pink nails), Mrs. Porrier for senior kindergarten (nice old lady with fuzzy sweaters), and Mrs. Samrita for the rest of...

    Handwriting Improvement.

    Ooh, yes! Even a nice, sharply pointed pen will do in a pinch. I have grand loopy handwriting which people are always complimenting. It probably wouldn't be that way if I didn't practise my "cursive" writing as a kid. It took a few years of diligent use to get it right, so I second the...

    Eyebrow question for red heads

    No no, I was only showing that she used a brown with matching deeper hues from her hair colour. If you could find a brown with auburn hues, it would look perfect.

    Favorite Golden Era Couples

    Director Nicholas Ray and Gloria Grahame. These two went through a bitter and acrimonious divorce, and years later, Gloria married her ex-husband's 21 year old son from a previous marriage!
