    Can you help me date this item??

    AS far as I know, acetate/nylon didn't become common before after the war. So if the nightgown easily gets static electrisity, it's probably nylon or acetate and from the 50s. If that's the case, be very careful with open flames and never smoke in bed! This kind of fabric cathes fire like wooooof!

    Can you help me date this item??

    I'm thinking 60s-70s, maybe even 80s. I am no expert, but it's just something about the general feel of the coat. Nice coat, by the way! Not so sure about the elbow lenght, though. What if you got som fur similar to the collar and lenghtened with that?

    The miracle of champagne.

    As far as I know, the "saucer" glasses were originally ment for the ladies. The champagne goes flat in them much faster, and that was the point. The thing is; in the days of La Belle Epoque, when champagne was the most fashionable thing to drink, ladies wore corsets. I have tried myself the...

    The Evening Tipple...

    I think I'll have just a small whisky tonight. After a long day at school it's northing better than a couple of episodes of "Heroes" and a hello form one of my two new friends: Glenmorangie "Cellar 13" or "Nectar d'or."

    What is your biggest vice?

    Whisky, port and good red wine. And the last week: Avocados! I've eaten 1-2 each day. I wonder if this vice isn't going to make me really fat in the long run.

    What Are You Reading

    I've read that one! I thought it was hillarious! But it's very interesting to compare it to modern self-help books. Not much has changed.

    Vitamins

    I take cod liver oil. It's mainly for the health, (and it is found to make babies smarter, maybe it works for me to?), but It've also been told it's good for the skin. I take it in capsules, because the oil tastes and smell bleurgh!

    Dry skin from stress?

    Thank you all so much for the advice and the caring! You are great! I think I will try oils and cutting down on showers, and see if it helps. Anyway, it's only two more weeks and then I'm done! (With the master, and then hopefully with the stressing period.)

    Dry skin from stress?

    Lately, I have experienced really dry, almost lizzardy flaky skin in patches all over my body. It came suddenly, and I am thinking that maybe it can be due to stress? (I am completing my master degree, it's due in two weeks so all I do is work&worry.) I have oily skin in my face and have gotten...

    Scotch 101

    You might also like Glenmorangie "Nectar D`or", which is a whisky that is matured in two different casks: First in bourbon casks and then in Sauternes (french dessert wine) casks. It has much of the same appeal as port-wood cask whisky, but still interestingly different. And if this is the...

    Scotch 101

    I have no idea what i costs is the USA, but I recently picked up a bottle of Glenmorangie "Cellar 13." That is a nice, light yellow whisky that is matured in 1st fill casks: Casks that are used for the first time. That gives it a plesantly complex taste, it it fresh and interesting, but still...

    any old-school housewives??

    I have earned the nickname "The perfect housewife" among my friends, due to me happily spending one to one-and-half hour preparing everyday dinners, loving to plan the meals a week ahead, baking my own bread, throwing big dinner parties and even trying to grow my own vegetables on the balcony...
