    When does it become a costume?

    It is a curious conundrum, is it not? It really comes down to the eye of the beholder and whether we give that "beholder" any credence. I look around me sometimes and see the way that average, normal people dress and I wonder, "what are they thinking!?" So if I happen to be wearing something...

    Visiting NYC or "Wow! That's a nice hat!"

    Hey! You look like Humphrey Bogart from Casablanca!! (LOL) Really, nice looking lid on ya! I really think fedoras are becoming much more acceptable and welcome. Let's face it, a nice fedora looks great and a lot of people envy the panache of the wearer! -dixon cannon

    :offtopic: Woodfluter, your avatar looks very much like a photo of famed French resistance fighter Jean Moulin! Was it intended that way? Either way, well done! http://www.geocities.com/resistancehistory/ -dixon cannon

    Question

    Yes! The hat is essentially just a big inverted felt bowl. It is shaped with steam to soften the felt and then "bashed" by hand. You can take it to any hat shop and have it done professionally, but most people here just steam it up over the tea pot and do it themselves. -dixon cannon

    Question on Sunglasses

    bobalooba, if the ? is directed to me, those are vintage Ray Ban Round lens sunglasses always available on eBay it seems. They can get kind of pricey since they are out of production now. Go there and just type in 'Ray Ban Round' and see what pops up! -dixon cannon

    Fountain Pens: Who uses them, and why?

    My Dad gave me a Parker in '66 and I used it until it began to leak. My wife at the time bought me a Mont Blanc 'Noblesse' which I used for a couple of years. On a visit to Salzburg, Austria in '84 I bought myself a Mont Blanc Meisterstuck that I carry with me everyday, everywhere...

    Scenting the house, questions

    Well here's our story. We went to Walgreen's Drug Store. In their liquor department is a round fish bowl on the counter. In the fishbowl are ten different types of incense matches - all different scents. All priced at .99 cents. So, when necessary, we just light an incense match and let...

    The original "Balloon Boy"...in 1933

    Thank Fletch.. ...I did not know that! I'm always fascinated by these balloon stories. I distinctly remember Larry Walters flight over Long Beach, CA back in '82. He became quite a celebrity for fifteen minutes. I saw him on Letterman's old show and in fact a wristwatch ad campaign...

    I know it is obvious, but my hat was good and warm today

    I've ruined many a good straw during the Phoenix summer - that straw just sucks up the perspiration and stains the band. It tough to keep them nice for long. :rage: -dixon cannon

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    It was bound to happen... ..in today's society! I never would have suspected it though - I friend slipped me a glass containing Dihydrogen Monoxide and I drank the entire thing unknowingly and without any clue. Be careful, it can happen to you and you'd never know what you were getting...

    Wall Street Crash of 1929 - 80 Years Ago This Month

    My Dad's 28th birthday was four days away -02 November, 1929 - and the "Crash" changed his life forever. From 'Jay Gatsby' to vacuum cleaner salesman! He heard the Governor of New York speaking on the radio and became a New Dealer overnight. The 'Crash', the Depression, the New Deal shaped...
