    Vintage Laundry

    Wood ashes are also used to make lye soap, which also would have been used to clean laundry with. So the ashes must work well. If you really want to get anacronistic with your laundry, urine was also used to whiten whites. This was common practice in the 18th & 19th centuries, the ammonia...

    anyone wear grey hair?

    I've got a lot of white hairs and I've noticed that I'm getting a streak of white in my bangs. Normally, I dye my hairbut I've been considering letting the streak grow out.

    A question for the red heads...

    This is my red hair: This is Loreal Preference. I believe the color is called Red Penny. I'm very happy with it - it's a nice copper toned natural looking red. I used to get a really nice Lucille Ball-ish red color done professionally, but I had to cut back on unecessary expenses and the...

    Is Paris Hilton the modern day flapper?

    I see her more as a modern day Zsa Zsa Gabor. Famous for being a wealthy vaccous socialite, not from actually having talent or wit or intellegence.

    Vintage bags of a larger size

    I have a large vintage fake leopard fur purse that is wider than I am. It's big enough that I've actually caught it in doorways if it's not turned sideways. I'll have to try to remember to take a picture of it.

    The Three Stooges - the Really Important Question!

    I love THREE LITTLE PIRATES. The "Maha! Aha?" routine with Curly cracks me up every time. Sadly though, you can tell that Curly is sick in this short. I think it was his last great comic performance.

    Can you help me date this item??

    I was thinking that it looked like a 70s take on Deco as well.

    The Three Stooges - the Really Important Question!

    I vaguely remember seeing a very early talkie in which the Three Stooges appeared. They were still doing the vaudville act. I remember a variety show at a supper club and the building catching on fire. Does this ring a bell with anyone?

    The Three Stooges - the Really Important Question!

    Comparing Shemp and Curly is like comparing apples and oranges. I might even go so far as to say I like Shemp better. He was a hilarious comedic actor in his own right. The material he did with Abbott and Costello was gut-bustingly funny. This has to be one of my favorite skits...

    Your Signature Dish

    Cookie baking is my specialty. In particular, I make a really good Scottish Shortbread. Complete strangers always come up to me and rave about them when I bring them to parties or events. The last time I made them, a man asked me if I would sell him a batch. There is perfection in the...

    Oscar fashion

    I thought Heidi Klum's dress looked like a high-end version of one of those "sexy" devil costumes that you buy in a bag at Halloween. Bleck.
