    The nicest comment I ever heard

    I almost went to that.

    The nicest comment I ever heard

    And you didn't even know her? That's kind of cool. I went to my favorite antique shop in the world in Vancouver, Washington a couple of weeks ago to meet some local Loungers. The man who always works there said, "there he is again! All duded out! Up from school? Where's your wife?!" Rather...

    Steampunk, Dieselpunk, etc.

    That's really cool. Too bad those dorks are ruining the photo. I hate dorks. Hate, hate, hate.

    Now to build a Victorian time machine as H. G. Wells describes, all in brass with dials and a seat and levers ... how wonderful would that be? Has anyone done that? The Time Machine is one of my favorite books and I recall that Wells gave a pretty detailed description of how the machine should...

    I like it.

    Facebook anybody?

    I'm on Facebook a lot more these days, so please look me up under Timothy Doran at Berkeley. I'd love to make y'all's acquaintance there. I'm in various Facebook societies of vintage interest; my Facebook page lists many of the vintage-oriented Facebook groups. I'm also pretty active on the...

    European 30s Styles

    Rather nice. I cannot say I have seen it before. Does the link stay there or is it removable?

    European 30s Styles

    Yes, that is what is meant by window pane. But I am also confused about the German jacket buttons. Can someone (such as Baron, or whoever else knows) explain how that jacket closure works? I don't understand (it looks wonderful in the drawing, though).

    Vintage Sunglasses

    Brilliant specs. Looks earlier to me.

    WANTED: Magic Castle Tickets, Los Angeles

    I am excited by dress codes too. You know it's evidence that our society has really become very sad when dress codes are seen as a wonderful, rare treat.

    Erin Kathleen, I think you're going to have a ball. Cheers!

    WANTED: Magic Castle Tickets, Los Angeles

    If that somehow does not work, my dad is a member. It is a wonderful place and -- everyone on the Lounge should love this -- it has a DRESS CODE.

    Let's Retire These Movie/TV Plots!

    Maybe this was said before - I don't want to reread this thread now, and it's been months since the last time I read it. So if this has already been said, please view this as a "more on this topic" post rather than a "new topic for this thread" post. Loser wild and crazy guy makes uptight guy...

    Cocktail parties: Country-Style

    Well-said. And as for the European-Americans (somewhat pejoratively referred to as "whites"), I agree, there is plenty of diversity amongst them. Poland and England are pretty different places! As for the poor European-Americans, if you are interested in their history in America, there is Jim...

    Cocktail parties: Country-Style

    A delightful project: unusual, challenging, creative. Erin Kathleen, I salute your ambition, and welcome to the Lounge. "Sunday Best" is good encoding. I get along fine with rural whites who don't necessarily love, nor are particularly familiar with, The Culture Formerly Known As High...

    Once again, I'm at myspace.com/458BC and I welcome enthusiastically all Loungers, especially new ones but also of course older ones.

    Muppet Show, Vaudeville, and Cabaret

    That, my good Justin, is because your personality and style are identical to theirs! (I think they are the best element of the show as well. My wife [a Pole] saw them and said, "Oh old men, off by themselves, well-dressed, talking about bygone wars, and hurling insults .... they're Polish.)

    Tie clip / tie bar

    Thanks. Mystery solved. See, I knew this place was good for something. (And Feraud, those are some sweet watch chains.)
