    I hate it when I fall asleep. I guess I'm never going to get one of these sailor type patterns.

    Keep your eyes peeled on ebay for them . . .I've recently seen several pairs pop up (sadly not in my size) for about a 1/4 of the retail price.

    "1940's Hairstyles" The book will break the bank

    If you donate it to the Powder Room, I'm sure the gals in here will willingly form a posse and track her down.

    All users with Myspace, please share :)

    Yes, exactly. Same here. I've caught up again with people as far back as early grammar school on there. . . and others who I'd never normally hear from.

    The rain & lightening tried to knock my reception out right in the middle of a dance sequence in Swing Time. . .I believe the whole neighborhood heard the frustrated scream.

    In The Mood

    Oh no Patrick Dempsey and Beverly D'Angelo? Now I have to rent this. Must have been the inspiration for "Loverboy" a couple years later.

    Reactions from people...

    In Chicago, I don't think you'd get a second glance, even if you were on fire. Great story! I was thinking about writing some terribly condemning things about people today and their style ignorance and their infatuation with snickering at someone dressed so well. . .but well, yeah...

    Target's a new hidden source for vintage-y type pieces. Lauren & I have gotten several great 30's & 40's styled sweaters there. I also got a faux fur shrug-style jacket for $15.

    But don't you have to set a limit then? I don't know about you - but sometimes when I'm watching an auction of something I really want. . .I tend to overbid in the heat of the moment. . . :rage:

    Show us your hair do's....

    What a great outfit - you look fabulous. The hair & the makeup just gel with the dress so well. Those curls are from pin curls, yes?
