    fountain pen newbie

    :offtopic: Oh! Mont St. Michel! Probably one of my most favorite places in the wide world. Fantastic drawing. You've captured it perfectly!

    Why the South?

    Ain't that the truth! And would be why I don't drive anymore. My husband does it all and I just go along for the ride. Carpoolers here always seem much more relaxed than single drivers. I'm sure the HOV has a lot to do with that, but it's also nice to have the company to take your mind off the...

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

    SO, I received my Secrets in Lace Bullet Bra and.... My Goodness! It's the most comfortable bra I've worn in years! One problem, which I've come to expect: Band Size. I ordered a 32 which is my normal band size, and it fits on the tightest setting, and SIL doesn't come in a 30 band. :( I'm...

    Traveling.. in Vintage Style

    Laura, I have a call into the Shoe Hospital to quote just that! Though, the thought of a new pair of shoes wouldn't be rejected. :)

    Traveling.. in Vintage Style

    Yay! This was exactly what I had hoped for. Thank you! I found a bunch of high waisted wide legged pants on Newport News just now that seem to be exactly what I'm looking for. If I order them this week, I should get them in time to have them tailored and be ready for the trip. Doesn't a...

    Getting the zipper all the way up

    When my grandmother got older and couldn't reach around like she used to, she put a little clip on a long string. She clipped the clip onto the zipper, put the string over her shoulder, and pulled. To pull it down, she clipped and pulled the string down by her hip. We got the idea from women...

    Tomatoes were cheaper: a 1932 grocery bill

    You beat me to it. The first thing I thought when I saw this scan was "who has been in my kitchen!?!" I have boxes and boxes of recipes with identical handwriting. It's a shame that penmanship isn't a requisite nowadays... but that's a whole 'nother thread!

    Golden Era Adverts

    These were sent to me by my mother this morning and I thought I'd share. Definately check out the Lysol Ad and the Golden Era Diet Suggestion. *shudders* Note to Bartenders: I did search to see if these had been posted previously, but could not find them. If they...

    Does anyone use a name that's not their own?

    Nice to meet you, Elizabeth. I know the feeling. ;) When people find out I go by my middle name, I often hear "but what's wrong with Sarah?" Nothing. It's just not me. (And I think every young girl wants to be Elizabeth Bennett for a time. :o )

    Show us your Swirl dresses!

    I've been watching it myself. As I can't afford to get it now, I'm a glutton for punishment. I'm content to stare.. and to dream. :(

    Oh the Stigma with wearing seamed fully fashioned stockings!

    Agreed. Then you have the opposite side of the coin where the office is overly ecstatic about your wardrobe, seamed stockings included. I work for a corporate suite in which many of our tenants are older gentlemen. (I flirt shamelessly with 85 year old George. ;) ) Since getting my pre-baby body...

    What are you wearing today??

    Awww, thank you, Chad. You made my day. :)

    Tada! New Swirl dress!

    Show us your Swirl dresses!

    And here it is! And a silly one as well. :)

    Ladies of the lounge and their mothers/grandmothers

    Strange how that happens... if one more person asks me if my husband is my brother, I'm going to scream.

    Great songs remade

    Couldn't agree more. It was my husband's and my first dance at our wedding. :)

    Ladies of the lounge and their mothers/grandmothers

    Awww. I want to be involved in this thread, but it's a little superfluous for visual comparison as I was adopted. I've got some great pictures of my mum's mum though. I'll get them scanned soon and upload them. I've always said she was the most fashionable woman I've ever met.

    How Good a Husband are You? - 1933 Edition

    Nifty... I got a 76, even with my red nail polish and running around in my stockings! My husband got a 101.... How did THAT happen? :eek:

    Public Enemies

    Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed it. My husband said it was terribly surreal walking into the bedroom to see me curled up in bed with his NRA magazine! Great Article though. Anyone else think the gold Tommy was a leeeeeeetle on the extravagant side? lol
