    Whadja get?!

    When I first read the title I looked it up online. It seems, from some reviews I have read, like a very interesting book as far as historical purposes go. Here's an excerpt from a review: "Concentration camp inmates sweatshopped for the Reich, too: women were worked to death minding mills...

    Whadja get?!

    Can you please elaborate? How did the Third Reich promote the ideal female character? I looked the book up on amazon and this is the overview: "We are all familiar with the stereotype of the German woman as either a Brunhilde in uniform or a chubby farmer's wife. However, throughout the...

    Vanity Sizing & Labelling?

    I have a similar problem in that I am very tall, so I have to do a lot of mail order and I get slim, eh, short pickings.

    Vanity Sizing & Labelling?

    In the article I linked, it mentions that the high end stores are usually guilty of fudging on the sizes, so that would make sense in a twisted way! Actually, I just reread it- it was in another online article.

    Vanity Sizing & Labelling?

    What disturbs me is the deliberate changing of sizes to better suit, literally and egotistically, the growing population in America. It reminds me of grade inflation.

    Vanity Sizing & Labelling?

    I was reading an article in a 1940's magazine and a lady was writing about slimming down to a slender size 12. There was a photograph of her and she looked more like a current day size 6 or less. Those of you that own vintage clothes, are Golden Age measurements for sizing the same as today...

    watch out for hatsupply.com

    All of this is excellent and I concur. However, your statement, "I would stand on my head for a customer, but I am not willing to get on my knees" is so beautiful I'm dabbing my eyes with my vintage Christmas (still using them until January 1st) hanky. Honestly, having worked in organizational...

    "Advocate Glamoure all the time..."

    Oh Lizzie, you're doing it all wrong! You need to dress it up and look helpless* so that some wicked nice fellow driving by in his pickup will stop and shovel for you! ;) *Feminism doesn't apply when it comes to yard work and shoveling.

    Pottersville

    I use Pottesrville constantly to address what I see happening in my Bedford Falls- ugly unaffordable housing (mostly condos, in fact a historic Inn is being partially demolished for this sordid purpose) is replacing modest comfy homes, Portland, once home to mostly Mom and Pops and locally owned...
