    Mrs. Hitler in London?

    I don't know if fascism and Nazism should really be called reactionary, a police state is hardly monarchical. I'd simply call it another form of Statism, which also includes communism :p. All the Mitford Sister's (except for the two who kept their head down) were Statist they just cheered for...

    Boardwalk 1905

    I wonder who the cigar chopper is doffing his hat towards.

    Were hats an ''upper middle class'' thing?

    Strangely enough you will have a hard time finding Carroll O'Connor in a hat out of character, and he was born in a very upper middle class environment. :p

    Retro-extremists? What are we called?

    Nostalgia does not have to be a yearning for an individual's personal past. Nostalgia is defined as a longing for the past, often in an idealized form. Once it was used medically to describe homesickness, now it has to do with idolizing supposed Golden Ages, specifically from the perspective of...

    The Dumbest Comment I Ever Heard

    The things you see when you don't have your revolver. Is it legal to shot rats in England?:D Got to love chavs. Rednecks who listen to rap music. Don't say to many derogatory things about the chav's though or you'll be labeled an elitist shhhhhhhh.

    The Return of the Lady's Lady????

    The worst is the person in pj bottoms, a sweatshirt top, unkempt hair (and worse yet often a heavy BO problem), and topped (bottomed? lol) off with either sandals or slippers. And that goes for either sex. I saw a woman at the grocers today who dressed like that, and was yelling at some poor...

    1957-1965 (or 1963)

    Speaking as a member of that oh so precious to marketers 18-25 crowd, I have to agree. Youth "culture" is one of the worst things that rose out of the 1960's. There have always been certain subcultures that attracted the young, but it wasn't until the 60's that said cultures started becoming the...

    What we've lost since the Golden Era

    I don't want to sound like an ass, because obviously both were tragic events, but did they receive any training? I've been around guns my entire life, and shot them almost as soon as I was able to walk (from bb guns to a 1950's "kid" (barrel and stock cut very short) .22). My father taught me...

    [article] Age appropriate dress for men.

    I think you nailed that on the head. He looks like a tourist to me, but I didn't know if that was the right way to describe it. Eccentric or not I don't think it's something you'd wear to the office. lol

    [article] Age appropriate dress for men.

    I'm twenty four right now (almost twenty five), and I honestly don't understand the desire to dress "young" or "hip". Granted he never used those words in the article, but the underline theme seems to be that he is disappointed that he can no longer follow the trends that say his teenage son...

    What we've lost since the Golden Era

    I think it's safe to say that we have lost the variety we used to have in our choices of Big Bands. Jazz and the Blues aren't the kings they once were, and there are only a few new crooners around anymore. The Great American Songbook is hanging on by a string. Their is a fight to save it...

    Which decade is the worst in terms of style?

    I have to say the 70's hands down. I really can't hate the 80's since it saw the rise of the Young Fogey's in the UK, and the return of the 50's Ivy League look for a little while here in the USA. After that 70's its a tie between the 00's and the 90's. Although I do like the 1890's lol ;).

    The Return of the Man's Man

    Well their was a whole thread about what we would be called, it seems that retrosexual is what the culture at large is going to start calling us of the male gender anyways. Although some people may not like the fact that tv shows, and pop culture in general define "fashion" their is no doubt...

    Not impressed with barons hatshop

    I've heard the same thing, but have had no dealings with them. I'd be interested to hear any input from their defenders, if their are any.
