What Are Your Exercise Programs?
Currently, tramping up and down Manhattan in 20 degree wind-chill, and a pair of high-heeled Remix's. Also, if the apartment I look at tomorrow pans out, my future says: six flights of stairs! :eusa_doh:- marquise

"Dressing for Disneyland"
Last time I was in Disney(World; of the ultimate marathon-all-day lines) I wore a black 50s pencilskirt and off-the-shoulder blouse. And tights. (But flats, not heels.) The man wore suspenders and hat. Felt pretty comfy, too. And disdainful toward the slobs, who proved even slobbier than those...- marquise

Glaring Film Gaffs! (Or: The Dry Look in 1917?)
Excellent observations on the profusion of beehive hair. Also in Zhivago-- Lara's peach-toned matte lipstick. Horrifically 60s. Now, I do love me some Chinatown, and the attention to detail involved, but there is a moment I simply can't deal with. When Jake gets all roughed up by the Okies...- marquise

How do you take your coffee?
Mmm, chicory. Every morning with the Times. Two tablespoons per cup; lots of cream and sugar; strong like bull. The principal reason for waking. Otherwise, I enjoy my coffee boozed, with a bit of amaretto or brandy; and never pass up a good cappucino.- marquise

High Waisted Pants & Jeans!
I, on a quest to find high-waisted, 40s-style jeans, actually found ones that look EXACTLY like those in the photo-- the farmgirl who threw on her boy's jeans-- in American Eagle. MEN'S jeans. The smallest waist was 26, but I'm taking them in a bit; they're amazing with rolled cuffs and really...- marquise

Do You Still Use "Golden Age" Products?
Disregarding the many larder-ingrediant facial masks I've been making lately, I use: - Witch hazel for makeup remover. - Apple cider vinegar for toner. - Rosebud salve. - Queen Helene masks. - Bayer asprin (for pain and asprin facial masks). - Kotex of course. - Coke in glass bottles. I...- marquise

Mineral Make-UP
I've been using the PF mineral translucent loose powder for about three weeks, and I LOVE it. Insanely. I'd resorted to it after using Coty translucent--and unscented-- for a week broke my forehead out in millions of clogged pores. With the help of some good masks & time, I'm fixing it-- must've... -

Got this mid 30s dress for amazingly cheap, due to bad photographing by the seller. It's in perfect condition, & the collar is all pleats! It also has the same pleated fabric tacked on like a streamlined whoosh, or wings, to the sleeves. :) ... Cute little late 20s linen dress...- marquise

Modern Movies Set in the Golden Era
Carnivale, which is the only item of television I've truly watched. It's my one true love, I think I've seen the series in order about 7 times. The Dust Bowl never looked prettier. My boy & are considering being Brother Justin & Iris for next Halloween. Also Road to Perdition (30s), the 1997...- marquise

Happy Drunk/Mean Drunk
Neither angry nor happy, I'm an awful, really selfconcious drunk, who tries too hard to keep decorum. 1-2 drinks, and I'm unravelling and conversing animatedly about books, architecture, gossip. I may even kiss you. I'm an intellectual bombshell. 3 and I'm sloppy, trying to hide my drunkness...- marquise

favorite cars of the golden era
A 1930 or 31 Model A Roadster. In light yellow, or Jadeite. I could eat it. But that 1938 Chevy Deluxe Sedan looks mighty tasty, especially the green.- marquise

Accents, whats your Favourite?????
As a Savannahian of five years, who converses with many local Savannahians, I can testify that the accent is very similar to the Coastal SC (Read: Charleston) accent- "Southern Belle", drawly, relaxed sound, with an Anglo streak stemming from Anglo-Irish heritage. The "hospitality management"...- marquise

What's your least favorite chore?
What I like: - Folding the laundry. Very cathartic, makes one feel accomplished. Precisely because it's only pyjamas and skivvies; my vintage everyday goes for a monthly dry cleaning. - Dusting, also vacuming with my little sweet dustbuster (only a four-room apartment, so of course its easy)...- marquise

... Excited for this dress, which I snapped for under $20. Luckily not too many gals are into late 20s-early 30s housedresses/simple sheaths like I am; it's just perfect for the coming-soon 90 degree summer; linen & cool! This isn't new, but it was huge on me and I recently got it...- marquise

vintage shopping in new york
Well, when I lived there, I was but a kid & didn't have the knowledge to find vintage shops. But since I'm moving back in a year, I'm needing more info as well. The only actual stores I've been to were extraordianarily overpriced, however I am a massive fan of the flea markets-- the ones I like...- marquise

Vintage Manicures
Link removed because direct link to site produced unwanted pictures Here's a '30s ad showing the unpainted-moon style. I've done it many, many times in red, always with the aid of little French manicure stickers from the drugstore. Easy-peasy, if you have the patience & vigilance to keep it neat.
