    Does 'beauty' always have to refer to women?

    If I said that to mine in a serious tone of voice, he'd give me such a look lol

    How many dresses can 1 gal own?

    I need more dresses like a hole in the head. My rule of thumb is, if I covet it for more than a month, its mine. What I do need (want) are more circle skirts, which I'm determined to make myself!

    When does the "Golden Era" start and end for you?

    Well put! For me, the end of WWI until the assassination of JFK/The age of the Hollywood Studio System. Give or take a few years from the latter and it fits into the former.

    How to wear hats without ruining your hair-do

    Yep, we get them durned freezin' winters. Like sheeplady, I have a knitted beret too. I find my curls stay in just fine in below zero temperatures, though. When I take my hat off I can just fluff them back up :) Try not to wear hats that fit tightly, unless you can incorporate them into your...

    A Hobo Wedding

    It was shortly after I had to start moderating my comments. :( I, for one, would have enjoyed your blog! Maybe more people should subscribe to Scott Michael's philosophy (the undisputed king of receiving cyber-hate): "If the material and/or my editorials offend you then please take...

    Show us what you've made!

    I envy you ladies who make dresses. I've just gotten a whole stack of books on it from the library, in hopes of teaching myself. :) I made my first ever sweater this week, though: lol This is my build-a-bear teddy, and he wears his heart on his sleeve!

    A Hobo Wedding

    That was one of the reasons I stopped too. A better comparison would be "If you were a witch, would you walk into Salem and expect not to be burned?" I suspect it's because of their sheer numbers.

    A Hobo Wedding

    There is a key difference between the internet and the "real-world," and this is anonymity. I'll take Feraud's statement a step further and say that internet socialization isn't just diluted, it's watered down beyond recognition. People come out of the woodwork that wouldn't say "boo" to you on...

    Pale or Tan?

    I'm interested in the answers to this question, too. Tans were popular in the 40's and some of the 50's, when colour photography was more mainstream. You'll notice that film stars in the 20's and 30's had much paler skin, because it showed up better on the black & white cameras. Porcelain...

    How did America let this man become an icon of the working class?

    I saw that all through my years of college, except for a few that really did like what we were studying, and weren't just there because mommy and daddy made them go. I buckled down and started doing legal research for my professor my first year, and its serving me well today.

    I'll clean up a quote from the post: "When you put ... anything private online where your context does matter, you are asking for a world of ****." Whatever way you slice it, she is right.

    "Mad Men" on AMC (US) - (Spoilers Within)

    If thats all you can see, you have to look deeper into their characters. Everyone is putting on a mask. Joan Holloway for example: Shes the stunningly beautiful, successful office manager with an iron grip on life on the surface, but really shes a romantic who longs for marriage, secretly...

    How did America let this man become an icon of the working class?

    And how! lol I had to memorize tables too, in elementary school. In high school, however, I was absolutely required to have a scientific graphing calculator for my math classes. (This was all within the past 15 years.) Wasn't three figures, but I resented the $75 it did cost me, and I do to...

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

    It is one of my suppressed desires to be a PSA stewardess, with that wicked hair. I'm looking forward to seeing Pan Am, mostly because I'm also a Mad Men enthusiast. Yes, premiering the week before Pan Am! Looks suitably raunchy: http://www.nbc.com/the-playboy-club/
