    1910's Slang?

    Yes! This is the most comprehensive list of slang terms I have ever seen. Have a look through all of it, it's impressive :)

    Paranormal Activity

    I saw it last Hallowe'en, and honestly, this is how I felt. I don't watch horror films other than some old Hammer Horror of my dads, so maybe thats why. Supernatural topics tend to freak me out. I thought it was sweet how Micah so fearlessly confronted the unknown for his girlfriend - That...

    Rave 'n' Rant

    Urban Decay Lip Primer Potion Miracles in a small purple tube! It was a little expensive ($18.00 CDN at Sephora), but well worth it. My lipstick does not bleed, need blotting, or reapplying. My lips are constantly dry and cracked, and this stuff made them smooth like I've never seen...

    Old Hollywood Stars: Before and After

    I think Norma was a lovely actress - Not incredibly versatile, but she is an inspiration to the every woman: A "plain jane" who willed herself to be beautiful.

    What's on your keychain?

    I've got a little kung fu voodoo guy on my keys. If you carry him with you everywhere, he's supposed to give you assertiveness. :)

    Valentines Day?

    This Valentine's Day I'll be extra cantankerous. If Cupid dares shoot an arrow in my direction, he'll get it stuck back in his fat little bum. :mad: Congratulations Babydoll! How exciting!

    Show Us Vintage Gifts You've Received

    Here is a mink beret I got from Toronto's Cabaret, circa 1960. It fits my head perfectly, like it was made for me... Albeit many years ago!

    Show Us Your Christmas Presents

    Some of us here are bigger gift givers than receivers - But I'm sure we all got one or two goodies from Santa this year :) I posted them on my blog (see signature), but here is the book I was most excited to get: Please share what you got!

    The Golden Era's *ugliest* clothes

    I know! Like Betty Draper said: "I don't understand her eyebrows. They're like huge caterpillars." Did she think it would make her more youthful? Whatever it was, she thought wrong, if she went from this: To this: Her "Crawford smear" got larger, too!

    Who Didn't Just Pull Up Into My Driveway This Year...

    My family has a Christmas Eve tradition - We all pile over to an uncle's large house and order a ton of Chinese food, it's great. Of course, someone will be yelled at for something, the tree will topple over, or a few people will retreat into the "burgundy office." It's a good time! lol

    The Golden Era's *ugliest* clothes

    I agree! Personally, I never found her stunningly beautiful, but when she was young, especially in the 20's and 30's, she was an attractive lady:

    If you said you looked like one celebrity from the Golden Era...

    Thank you! I'm not sure if it's accurate - Maybe certain features? You're sweet! :D

    Woman 'more likely to remember first pair of shoes rather than first kiss' ...

    First shoes? I believe they were red Mary Janes... First kiss was December 17th of my grade 8 year. His name was Chris, he was shorter than me, and he had the most breathtaking green eyes. It was right after the Christmas dance - His friends later told me he'd been planning the moment for...

    Beauty Complaints

    Or even mousse - I'm a big fan of mousse, and my hair is stick straight. I agree with Grant Fan in that I like doing my hair, it's better than my old flatironing and teasing routine because most of the work is done at night. I'm also with Lauren on hair removal! If I ever won the lottery...
