Leatte,
Your hair looks really nice. I could never do center part rolls because I can never get them looking exactly the same. With the side part, you don't have to worry if they aren't symetrical. Bravo on getting them to look alike! :eusa_clap
Scotrace - thanks for the info on Pecard. I went to eBay to buy some, but there are several different types of Pecard. Which do you buy for shoes? The paste for antique leather or the oil for shoes?
Just be careful the leather conditioner doesn't change the color of the shoes too much. I had cherry red pair of vintage shoes. I put Neat's Foot Oil on the shoes to condition the leather and it made the color of the shoes darken and slightly splotchy. I wonder if Pecard does the same thing...
Those are really neat and I bet they would be much more comfortable to sleep in than plastic rollers. But wouldn't they take forever to dry if you put damp hair in them? I guess I'll have to do some experimentation.
I have a repro votive candle holder that is almost the same exact thing. In fact, it might be the same, but I'd have to look at the two to compare. It was sold at Restoration Hardware a few years back when they still sold cool stuff.
WOW, RED! What a great hairstyle. I love the bangs especially, they look very flattering on you. I've been trying to grow my hair out to do something similar and it is taking so long that I'm starting to loose faith! I'm jealous.
Here's a nice site for vintage looking western shirts:

I have a 40s pattern for a pair of a-line culottes. I've always wanted to make them up and western-ize them by adding fringe and embroidery. You may want to look for a similar pattern and just add the trim...
I tivo'd them all. Even though I've seen almost all of the movies played multiple times, I still plan on watching them all again. I know what I'll be doing on Labor Day!
Space is very crowded and limited in a ship out to sea. I think the burial at sea is done out of neccessity because there isn't anywhere to store the bodies (esp. if it's a large amount) without them starting to decompose. In the tight quarters of a ship, that would be hard to deal with. With...
Glad to hear that. I think it is better to be safe than sorry, especially with something as expensive and beloved as your hats!
I think I'll have to check out allposters. I've been looking for a vintage food poster to hang in my kitchen. I was hoping for a poster with anthropomorphic fruit on...
I had the pleasure of seeing Steamboat Bill Jr. on the big screen with The Asylum Street Spankers doing a live "hot jazz" musical accompanyment. It was wonderful!
My favorite part of the hat shop scene is when the store owner puts the iconic hat that Buster always wore on Buster's head and...
Atomic - Just a friendly word of warning. Please be careful storing your hats above the stove. The grease from cooking will float up on smoke/steam and coat your hats! I have similar cabinets in my kitchen with a stove underneath. I store my pyrex dishes on top of the cabinets and when I get...
That's a good list. And I too have a thing for Errol Flynn. *sigh* lol
Another good one that I just thought of is The Magnificent Ambersons with Orson Wells.
I've seen full grown frogs catch birds in mid-air and eat them, so I'd be careful if I were you! They've got big mouths that'll eat anything they can fit in them.
It's always odd for me to think that when these movies set during the Civil War and made during the 1920s, that the Civil War was still very much in people's consciousness. It hadn't happened that long ago and there were still many Civil War veterans alive at the time.
Yeah, but will it show under a silk gown? Everyone knows gun lines are a fashion no-no.
I need to start playing around in Photoshop more and figure out how to antique pictures. I use Photoshop at work a lot, but rarely use it to do cool things like your picture. Spitfire - for some reason...
