    What Are You Reading

    "The Lost Musicians" by William Heinesen, 1957. It's about more or less strange people in a small town on the Faroe Islands. Very fun and well written, it reminds me of Steinbecks books about Cannery Row.

    The future of style.

    I thought of mentioning the Firefly style before, because of the old west- inspiration. Very cool. (But I did not fall for the show in general.) Blade Runner is very cool in the same way: Lots of cool 40s inspired women suits and hairstyles, as I recall. And for very old vintage, mixed with...

    Am I the only one...

    I'm a pale Scandinavian too. The only foundation I found i stores here in pale enough shade, was Max Factor's Lasting Performance in 100. But now I get my foundation from www.everydayminerals.com, which has a wide selection of pale shades.

    Modern Radio Programs

    Too bad i can't share the Norwegian radio theater with you. But BBC has great radio theater as well, (I have just discovered it, so I haven't heard many yet,) and you can find many of them here. For free, I think!

    Modern Radio Programs

    Warning: This post contains enthusiastic ramblings about national radio in a very small country, and might be utterly irrelevant to others than inhabitants in said very small country. If so, I apologise in advance. I'm geographically lucky then, because the Radio Theater at NRK, (Norwegian...

    Show us your most precious vintage item .

    My most treasured item is a wooden toy zebra. One of my grandmothers best friends gave it to my father when he was a child. This friend later on became a great friend of mine too, when I was 18 and she was 76. She was a wonderful lady, an artist like my grandmother, and travelled a lot. The...

    Show us your hair do's....

    I'm not sure what I mean either, I just thought something like: If I it can be done with setting lotion, maybe the same thing can be done as a perm, only lasting forever!" I understand that it won't be the same thing, et least not the part of a hairstyle that needs to be teased or blow dried...

    Show us your hair do's....

    Perm question I permed my hair for my wedding, as I wanted a vintagy look, and my hairdresser reccomended perm as she said it would help the wet set to last in my super fine, limp hair. She was right, and I like having permanent curls! But, my hair is very long, and I wanted to wear it...

    Awesomely Bad Prose!

    More pearls from Jonas Fljeld-books, this one describing one of the good doctors enemies. Yes, there he stood, the killer, the true slave of the urges of the blood, the cossack soul with the red passion dripping from the corners of his eyes.

    Awesomely Bad Prose!

    I know! It's so bad that it's good. Or something. His books are packed with lines like this. And everywhere tihis man (Jonas Fjeld) goes in the world, no matter what happens, he always gets the wanted response saying: "Let me though! I`m a norwegian doctor!

    Help Wanted: Vintage interior inspiration

    Thanks for the tip, but I have already done this. I was hoping for the favorite things the members might have shown me, that maybe are not the most famous . It would be nice to see something else than the usual "great classics". Thanks anyway!

    Bring back dating?

    I think, in some ways girls are still walking a tight rope:Too many men and you are seen as a slut, to little experience and you are seen as a boring prude. I think these standards are more extreme for woman than for men, an that's unfair.
