    Terror attack in Oslo, Norway

    I know. Free speech is an admirable ideal, but too many people regularly abuse it. There's fine line between staing an opinion and inciting hatred.

    Terror attack in Oslo, Norway

    And then there's other nutters like Glenn Beck who compared the kids on that island to the Hitler Youth (video on the Guardian). Sometimes words just fail.

    Amy Winehouse

    Chilling to hear what her greatest fear was (at that moment anyway) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ISw4yuM4io&feature=fvst I loved both her albums and was rooting for her. But then I also love Janis Joplin and she reminded me of her.

    New Series "The Hour"

    I don't know if she was expecting realism, but I dare say stylistic detail and things that are easily researched such as what type-writers were used would be fairly easy to incorporate. Found it: http://www.guardian.co.uk/tv-and-radio/2011/jul/24/the-hour-travesty-tv-news

    New Series "The Hour"

    I agree, the hair and makeup on the women was too modern and just looked wrong for the era. Apart from the style, I just found the "thriller" aspect really forced, and for the first time in a long while nothing made me want to watch it again. One of the comments in a review in one of the big...

    Vintage Date???

    Oh, good news! Keep us posted if you see her again. Glad it went well :)

    Vintage Date???

    You can dress it up however you want, "bitches" isn't all that funny unless applied to female dogs.

    refreshen the old wardrobe

    I also read that once you clean the wood you can use lemon or orange oil and let it dry completely. In fact, we've been told that spraying furniture with lemon oil will stop cats from scratching it, so I guess it is safe on wood. Otherwise, do you have a covered verandah or balcony that you...

    refreshen the old wardrobe

    I heard that vinegar with olive oil is supposed to work, but haven't tried it myself. "Another simple but often effective wood cleaner that I've heard used with success is a solution of one part olive oil to 24 parts white vinegar. This equates to two teaspoons olive oil per pint of vinegar...

    Oh, thank you. I am however, currently unemployed so can actually take a full day to work on a dress if that makes you feel any better :)

    Show Us Your Purchases!

    Thank you, and yes it is to go with the tulip print dress and hopefully cream hat. Three weeks, is plenty of time, it usually only takes me two or three full days to finish a dress, depending on if I make a muslin and how complicated it is. I already fitted the muslin, so am in the middle of...

    Great polka dot dress Miss G! I hear that polka dots are big for fall/winter, so you'll even be trendy without meaning to :) I got these to wear to a wedding in three weeks. I had foot surgery not long ago and can't wear higher heels, but hope these will be okay

    I think that sort of language in reference to women is quite inappropriate.

    What's on Top - Bras, panties, garter belts, slips, & stockings

    That's good to know! I my try that, as it's such a hassle to send things back and lose the return shipping. It's a Playtex 60's longline bra, but not sure what the material is exactly.

    The ones that got away

    :eek: Indeed. Although that seller is very nice, she generally has quite high prices even for not so rare patterns.

    What's on Top - Bras, panties, garter belts, slips, & stockings

    No, it wasn't described and seller offered a refund if I return. I'm just wondering if they would perhaps come out as I like the bra otherwise and it fits well.

    What's on Top - Bras, panties, garter belts, slips, & stockings

    I bought a 1960s Playtex longline bra on Ebay advertised as NOS, and it's covered in brown spots (presumably age spots?). Are they likely to come out in a Vanish/Oxi soak, or should I just send it back?

    Etiquette question

    I already have a red hat and a red fascinator, and don't wear either that often because I find red shades hard to match. I think I'll go with the cream without the veil, as I'll get more use out of it after and it's easier to match with other things. I think I wouldn't wear a cream dress to a...

    Etiquette question

    Yes, it is. The seller is from Greece and very nice.

    Etiquette question

    What about this one without the veil netting? Also comes in red, though I prefer cream because I could wear it with lots of other dresses I have.
