    Families of the Lounge

    Me & my hubby... As of November this year, we'll have been together for 10 years. This is the closet thing we have to children... Gertie & Molly. Although I do like to pretend that this is our child:

    Knives and forks

    I'm American yet I've always eaten and held my fork and knife in the British fashion. Being right-handed, I think I've always preferred cutting food with my right hand. It's just much more comfortable for me that way. I never really thought about it much before, I wonder if fellow U.S...

    Late 50's early 60's

    Rooster - great suit! :D I'm green with envy. I bought a suit cut exactly like the one you are wearing but it was green and black sharkskin for my hubby. It was hubby's favorite suit until he lent it to a friend to wear to a wedding who didn't have a suit. The friend put the suit in the...

    The Stax Record Story

    For any soul music fans out there, PBS is premiering a documentary tonight called Respect Yourself - The Stax Record Story. Besides showing musical performances by the likes of Otis Redding and Booker T & the MGs, the documentary will examine Stax's relationship with the Civil Rights movement...

    Celluloid, Bakelite, Lucite and other vintage plastics

    Are you sure it's bakelite? In my years of collecting and researching bakelite, I've never seen a bakelite brooch like that before. The other thing that makes me question it is that white bakelite very rarely ever stays white over the years. White bakelite almost always turns a creamy yellow...

    Could you survive?

    Hmmmm, I don't know. I have acid reflux, so if I went back in time I'd pretty much have bad heartburn 24-7 without my medications. Probably by now my esophagus would have eroded away from all the stomach acid coming up through it. If I don't take my meds even water gives me bad heartburn...

    What Are You Reading

    I'm reading the Chinatown Death Cloud Peril at the moment. Still at the beginning of the book, it seems a little disjointed at the moment - but I expect/hope that it will change as I get further into the book. And I never read a Harry Potter book!

    Unsweetened Iced Tea

    Just plain old unsweetened iced tea for me. I like it with a slice of lemon. I'm not a big fan of sickly sweet iced tea. Although the greek restaurant by me serves my new obession - a homemade spiced iced tea that tastes similar to chai. I think it has a mixture of nutmeg, cloves...

    Record Art

    There is a whole sub-genre of record art dedicated entirely to religious albums such as this one. I know of folks that collect only these records because they are *so* bad.

    Record Art

    A friend of mine completely wall-papered a room in her house with the Whipped Cream and Other Delights album cover. It's surreal and delightfully wacky (or should I say tacky)? I love album art and will buy records from thrift stores solely based on their cover art. When I have some free...

    Record Art

    JOYCE!!!!!!! Joyce is my all time favorite so-bad-its-good album cover. Hubby & I are obsessed with Joyce. We actually saw someone that looked like Joyce a few weeks ago and just about pee'd our pants. Joyce rules. Also, if you enjoy golden age album cover art, I can't recommend the book...

    Your Thoughts on This Chair

    Gorgeous chair! It's from the 1930s or 40s. Those type of chairs/furniture sets with the carved wood insets were popular in the 30s/40s, but I can't decide if it was made in the 30s or 40s. It has very deco moderne 30s lines to it, but I think the color is more 1940s. What do you folks...

    What kind of noir do you prefer?

    Great example - it's like a Raymond Chandler novel set to bowling. lol Big Lebowski is a movie that I didn't care for when I saw it at first, but now I love it. For me, it's the kind of movie that gets better with age and after I had a chance to reflect about it. Like O' Brother Where Art...

    18th century people

    Thanks for the link! There's a lot to weed through on the internet and it really helps. I'd mainly be doing an impression of a rural farm woman - as they need help tending the gardens at the house I mentioned earlier. It's pretty interesting - all of the vegetables they grow are heritage seeds...

    18th century people

    Can anyone recommend any good sources/forums (online or other) for people interested in getting into 18th century reenacting? I've always been interested in the history, but have recently had the opportunity to become more involved with the living history programs at local revolutionary-era...

    What entertaining movies did poorly at the box office?

    I agree. The Iron Giant really had a lot of heart. I cried like a little kid when the robot said Superman at the end.
