Your Favorite Sandwiches?
Ever since my addiction to the vile yet hilarious TV show DEXTER began, I have been yearning for a Miami pulled pork Cuban sandwich. I have no plans on visiting Miami, however; the sandwich experience may have to wait for decades.- Dr Doran

Paper Moon
I agree. Addie reminds me of my daughter. The early scene in which Addie is sitting in the restaurant with Mose and demands her money, repeatedly and loudly, in particular - - Dominika could easily play that role (in a few years). Also -- is Mose her father or not? Or did he only find her...- Dr Doran

Paper Moon
Finally viewed it yesterday in the movie room on campus. Marvelous film. Just marvelous. Now I have to see Last Picture Show, I suppose. "Just 'cause a man meets a woman in a barroom don't mean he's your pa." Perhaps I'll buy the book Addie Pray. I did not know a TV show had been made; perhaps...- Dr Doran

Hidden Local History
The most boring stretches of road often have history of great vintage interest. An ugly and unremarkable avenue in my area, for example. I've been to the Hotsy Totsy Bar which the article references ... it's still there, and it's full of people who look like bikers who did time in prison for...- Dr Doran

Monocles.
I wish professors at Berkeley favored monocles. When I got into this racket (i.e. Classics/ancient history) I assumed that the professors and grad students would favor old suits, wing tip shoes, bow ties, T.S. Eliot haircuts, antique cufflinks, a monocle or pince-nez, and so on. Like in The...- Dr Doran

Fashion fads we love to hate
True, some folks can get away with that sort of thing ... in my experience, a deep tan helps, as well as great physical fitness, bright eyes, a sense of relaxation, a nice smile.- Dr Doran

Fashion fads we love to hate
Umm, folks, this is a forum dedicated to classic and vintage style from around 1940. There will be some, ummm, “intolerance” (in other words, insistence on certain canons of taste, rules of style, and CUSTOMS) here. People often get into vintage because, among other things (such as a love for...- Dr Doran

Ever yearn for a vintage name?
I was going to be Claire if I had been born a girl. My parents hideously gave me the middle name Donald after my father's sister's husband. Alas, my father's sister committed suicide shortly before my birth (his only sibling!) and then shortly thereafter, her husband stopped having anything...- Dr Doran

Ever yearn for a vintage name?
I have a friend named Gaius. Very vintage, very Roman. The weird thing is, he has a PhD in Roman history which he received at Berkeley under the formidable Erich Gruen. Did Gaius live up to a name his parents gave him? Or is his real name -- gasp -- something like Gerald? I am...- Dr Doran

Fur coats?
The Lorre photo is godlike, and the gentleman whose photo Magnoli posted looks marvelous, although the earlier photo that Edward posted without the person inside it doesn't do much for me. I would wear a fur-lined collar but that would only be wearable for about a month in California. It's...- Dr Doran

How Do We Feel About DOW?
My usual stance on this issue: I have no deep-seated need for a person to fit my politics, or my stance on animal treatment, in order for me to feel some interest or even admiration for other parts of his personality. None whatsoever. I do not like what I occasionally, or often, see...- Dr Doran

And we owe it all to the Fedora Lounge!
Wonderful! Matt/Cacklewack, I have not seen you in a year and a half, but I hope you will be around when I come up to Portland in late December/early January. Beaucaillou, I've never met you and always wanted to. I hope I can meet the lovely new couple and offer my best wishes in person!- Dr Doran

The Dumbest Comment I Ever Heard
Well-done, very well-done. Perfectly done. The only really stupid comments I've gotten is when I wear fedora plus light-colored trenchcoat. Breaking a very long string of exclusively appreciative things from black people, I got "Dick Tracy" from a pair of young men selling rap cds to...
