New Remix Playshoes - A Critique
Thanks Rebbeca--this is just the info I needed to buy a pair of the Pathway as well--in black. I'm going to go down a size based on your feedback. Perfect! Thanks! Oh no, and I saw that they have another darling pair too! The Dara! Oh my, they are just button cute too!- Miss Dottie

What Happened to the Butter?
Ah yes, like in Thomas Hardy's Tess of the D'Urbervilles--when they tried to find the chives in the field... When I worked at a living historical farm based in the 1830s, they wanted yellow butter even in the winter, so they would try to dye the butter using calendula petals to get that...- Miss Dottie

Oh, the Stigma of an Astigmatism. . .
You are very kind! If that is a picture of you (and if it is Kim_B, you are just so button cute) I love the ones you are wearing!- Miss Dottie

Do you have a set beauty routine?
I was just told the same thing from my dermotologist. Funny that! But it made a complete difference in my skin.- Miss Dottie

Oh hurrah! Congrats Lauren! I'm crossing my fingers, praying, and everything in between for you on this job. I'm sure they'll take you on full time and then some. Yahoo!- Miss Dottie

Glamour As Armour?
I think everyone has made (or thought of) a cutting remark about someone else's fashion at least once in their lives instead of possibly getting at the larger issue or what have you. Instead, I'm going to turn that frown upside down and go out of my way to focus on the snappy outfits that...- Miss Dottie

Glamour As Armour?
I don't know if I'd call it glamour, but more like a way to help boost my self confidence. Like wearing something extra pretty on a job interview. I do remember my father telling me a story about when he started working as the first black journalist at Newsweek. He wore a suit every day of...- Miss Dottie

Glamour? Or Down To Earth Reality
You know--even if I just put on a vintage cotton housedress, it changes the way I walk and feel. It's something about being in a dress that makes me care a bit more about what I'm wearing and my bearin than just putting on pants of any sort--even vintage ones. Perhaps because I can feel a...- Miss Dottie

Modern wedding gowns
These are wonderful, ladies! Glass Susie! Welcome to the Lounge and thanks for sharing those terrific photos. It looks like it was an amazing wedding to say the least! Wow! I'm impressed that you got people to also dress vintage too! I was happy that a handful of people dressed vintage. It...- Miss Dottie

What Are You Reading
Just started "Geek Love" by Katherine Dunn. Very good albeit bizarre. Three people (from three different parts of my life) told me it was their favorite book--how could I not resist reading it? So far, it doesn't dissappoint.- Miss Dottie

What are your hobbies?
Knitting! I know it doesn't sound like much--I mean, how much can wool cost? Try $15 to $50 a ball. Just buying the yarn for a sweater can put me back $100 and that's before the hours of work just to make the fabric and then sewing it together. But knitting is almost meditative when you get...- Miss Dottie

Seamed stockings for the New Year!
I'm so glad Bonnie Jean, that you didn't let the whole rigamarole early this year keep you from wearing seamed stockings. And I agree on the thriftiness of stockings too--you can always wear the other stocking that doesn't have the run in it with another pair extending the life even more!- Miss Dottie

Modern wedding gowns
You all are very very kind! The train was long. I just tossed it over my arm for the night and with the help of an amazing tailor created a bustle for it so I could dance. And thanks for the compliments on the sleeves. The original ones are too puffy to even be worn. Just insanity!- Miss Dottie

Classic wide leg pants?
Yes, I live in a charming old 1911 bungalow in Alameda, one of the cutest little towns in the Bay Area in California. Since it's built in 1911, the driveway will only fit a small model T, so we have to use our garage for storage. My sweetie and I took a lot of pictures on our house, which...- Miss Dottie

Oh no. I MUST get those shoes in black. They are just what I've been looking for! Where were they on the site? I was just on this morning and didn't see them. No matter. I'm ordering them pronto! Thanks for the tip Rebecca D!- Miss Dottie

Modern wedding gowns
First off, I apologize for the number of pictures. So, please indulge me with the shameless number of pictures I put up. I just got the photos yesterday and it's taking me forever to get through them. The photographer when nuts and took more than a 1000 photos but I think these show off the...- Miss Dottie
