    How Much Jewelry Do You Wear?

    Pictures are a good idea! Just of everyday jewelry, though, or this thread will duplicate others. Here is my little charm bracelet. These are three of my favourite things in the world: teddy bears, cupcakes, and martinis. (What a glutton I am, two of those are food lol)

    Vintage Manicures

    I found this great picture of Jayne Mansfield that looks like it was from a magazine spread, and look - She has turquoise nails! :)

    Time Traveler spotted at the 1928 Chaplin film "The Circus"

    The OP reminds me so much of the myth about Marilyn Monroe's "extra toe." If people really believe these things based on grainy photographs, it shows their gullibility and inability to perform research.

    If I had to pick one girl from the golden era

    Who isn't? I think she was so cute toward the end of her life, when she changed her hair colour and adopted a more demure style. Knowing, too, that she was more comfortable in this look because it better reflected her personality, you can see how much more she shines.

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    Everybody in Hollywood and Vegas loved Dean too :) From everything I've read about him, he was just a nice, funny man.

    If I had to pick one girl from the golden era

    Veronica Lake is so popular in this thread! Is it because of her hair, or the fact that she's so darn sultry?

    Favourite Scents

    Would that be Pink Sugar? It's not quite cotton candy, its actually more of a vanilla/caramel candy smell, but yummy all the same. Make sure to get the just Pink Sugar, not the Sensual, because the Sensual has sandalwood in it.

    Etiquette Question – Wedding and Funeral on the Same Day

    A black suit would work well, even a subtly pinstriped one. If it were me, I would just change my tie!

    The grand style & traveling heavy

    I don't crush everything into a wrinkled heap, but I like to think I travel light. First I make a list of everything I'll be wearing for each day I'm gone, plus a few extras in the event of mishaps, and pack it all in one medium sized suitcase that has plenty of pockets. All my toilette goes...

    Show us what you've made!

    After a week of devouring books on dressmaking, I've managed to make myself two skirts. The first one is a classic 50's circle skirt inspired by Ethel Mertz: The second is an a-line done in cute cupcake fabric: Not bad for a rank amateur, I think :)

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    I love the Dean Martin Show! I can't get enough of the Celebrity Roasts either (When they were actually hilarious, not just vulgar as they are today.)

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    Yesterday was the 34th anniversary of Elvis Presley's death. I wonder how many people made the pilgrimage to Graceland hoping that he is still alive? lol

    For Sale or Trade: Secrets In Lace Bullet Bra, Cute Circle Skirt

    Item number one is a pink bullet bra from Secrets in Lace, never worn. Size 32D, but single hook extenders can easily be added to make it a 34. I paid $35, yours for $20. Item number two is a cute Liz Claiborne 80's-does-50's circle skirt, size 6, 28 inches long, with figure skater...

    Nutty Neighbors

    I sympathize. I lived with Norwegian Death Metal for much of my life - My older brother is an enthusiast, and even plays in a band. He's the drummer, too, so whenever the band got together, it was always my basement. As a result, Advil no longer works on me. My neighbours behind me have a...

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    Plastic bumpers are one of the many banes of my existence. When my front bumper went, I was surprised to discover that it was padded underneath by styrofoam, and - you guessed it - more plastic. I managed to bend it back into shape with a hairdryer, but its still cracked and peeling paint. I...

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    Sounds like you've made some good choices with modern cars. Chevrolets and Dodges will pretty well last forever with little maintenance. My 12 year old Pontiac has needed a few overhauls in that time, and the transmission has deteriorated pretty badly.
