    The good vintage life = eco friendly!

    I see it more as a economical use of resources: When the animal has been killed decades ago anyway, the least we can do is to make sure that we use it's warming clothing potential to the full by reusing it. But then, I'm not generally against the use of furs as clothing. I''m against the...

    The good vintage life = eco friendly!

    With the growing awareness of climate changes and such lately, I have been looking at my life to try to make it a bit more eco friendly. The worst thing I do is flying, but other than that I'm not to bad. And that is not because I'm av nice person or an activist, it's because of my vintage or...

    What Are You Reading

    "East of Eden", Steinbeck. I have read it, or so i thought, about five times. The really embarrassing thing is that the edition I own is not clearly marked with "Volume 1" so I never knew it was in two volumes! (Yes, I know, stupid me!:eusa_doh: ) Well, now I have even more to look forward to...

He has hes own ideas about who can use which laundry room and how, and I have never seen this ideas in any...

    Can a man appreciate vintage and be metro?

    Me and my man would probably check the noise, change the tire and defend our dignity together. And i think both men and women should be able to take care of themselves.

    Can a man appreciate vintage and be metro?

    There are many of us that does not fit the stereotypic gender roles, like the definitions of "real men" (and "real women") that some of the loungers express here. You would not know it by looking at us, but me and my husband does not fit the stereotypes. We look the part, him in fedoras and...

    Can a man appreciate vintage and be metro?

    Metrosexual isn't new. It's just a new term. What about the dandy, the zootsuiters, or the perfectly manicured and shaved in a salon- types of the 40s? Metro or whatever. Just follow your inner style, that never gets out of fashion!

    Men who can cook.

    Cooking is sexy, when the man enjoys it. Actually, a man who does anything he likes to do, and does an extra effort for your sake, is hot stuff. My husband and I both love to cook, and eat, and make all our dinners form scratch. Dinner is usually the best part of the day! I love it when he...

    Agent watching too much Xfiles

    That's the one! Seems like he was even more inspired by good old Lovecraft in "in the mouth of madness" though. Anyway, the copper in question might have seen these movies one to many times!

    Agent watching too much Xfiles

    Isn't there a movie, loosely based on H.P. Lovecrafts "At the mountains of madness", that starts with a norwegian scientist shooting one of his own dogs, only it is not his dog but a terrifying shapeshifting entity from antother world!?

    Eating Habits of the Past vs. Now

    (I know you Americans have had ready made meals in plenty in your supermarkets longer than us Norwegians, but this observation might still apply.) Back in the good old days, ready-made meals where expensive and not something you ate every day. I have been told that up in the North of Norway in...

    Calling all Danes and Swedes! (Heptown.com/Hepcat related)

    It seems like you danish are the most vintage loving people in Scandinavia, judging by the representation on TFL. I wonder why? Am I the only Norwegian here?

    Help!!

    I'm absolutely no expert, but maybe I will help if you hit the "refresh" button once in a while while you are writing a long post? I think maybe it is a way of telling the site that you are not inactive.... or maybe I am making a complete fool of myself now....;)

    Are you aware that I have not owned a Television for 5 years?

    We did not have TV when I was growing up. Me and my siblings were the only family we knew of that did not have a TV, and it was great. We could still go to my Grandmother and watch shows at her TV if there was something we really wanted to watch, (she lived in a separate flat in our house), but...

    The perfect 30's-40's housewarming?

    I've got the recipes for two delicious sandwich salads: One with egg and shrimp, one with chicken, ham, egg and parmesan. I have reconstructed them from a classic Norwegian cookbook, (Schønberg-Erken, the vintage Norwegian kooking godess!). I can`t give you an exact date for the salads, but the...

    Where did your user name come from??

    Mine is from a sad little typewriter in a Nero Wolfe book. I love Nero Wolfe, and I really like the pun in the name, but as a happy student I do not identify with the original wearer of the name! At other forums, I just use my real first name as a user name, (boring me!) but the "ø" I need to...

    Don't try this

    Nutmeg is actually a dangerous thing to play around with. As I have been told, only fresh nuts (not the dried ones in your kitchen cabinet,) gives the hallucinations, but this is NOT something you want to try out, as it is a real risk of poisoning. I quote wikipedia on effects: A risk in any...
