    Bugsy, I agree. That is very sad.

    Nazi and Soviet Medallions

    Ohmigod, that's so uncool. STALIN KILLED MILLIONS. Just kidding. That's a nice watch.

    Nazi and Soviet Medallions

    No, I was saying it would be cool if you were going IN COSTUME to a COSTUME PARTY. It would be particularly cool if the PARTY were, for example, a WW2 DRESS-UP COSTUME PARTY. Let us say your uncle came to the party dressed as Roosevelt, your father as Churchill and your wife as Eva Braun, you as...

    Vintage style interfere with buying modern clothes?

    I still have an original Black Flag t-shirt, orange, with a nun whispering something. And a Dead Kennedys "too drunk to ____" t-shirt.

    Vintage style interfere with buying modern clothes?

    They asked. I NEVER explained. I hate explaining what my tattoos "mean," too, which is why I always wear long sleeves everywhere I go.

    Vintage style interfere with buying modern clothes?

    I also detest seeing people wearing t-shirts with words or pictures. Vulgar and repellent. I wore them when I was a 'punk' in the 1980s but they at least were handmade, not advertising anything.

    The nicest comment I ever heard

    Was she smoking hot? I did receive, on BART (local train), a "no one wears hats anymore. You look great" a couple of weeks ago, by an almost but not quite middle aged black lady. I said, "you look quite well yourself." At a garage sale more recently than that I heard "I love your retro...

    Exciting archaeological discoveries....

    AD is too late for me. Except when we're talking 1900-1945 AD.

    Muppet Show, Vaudeville, and Cabaret

    The thing is, when I used to watch it as a little boy, I didn't see all the talent. And the fact that they made Kermit so self-deprecating and the entire thing so dorky made it not seem as talentful as it was. I think a new musical TV show centering around a vaudeville show or cabaret might be...

    European 30s Styles

    Bloody gorgeous pics. Interesting that the French suits have no cuffs on the trousers. Is that normal for the 1930s?

    What art is in your home?

    I do love the Soviet propaganda. We have a calendar of that era and those messages from Poland. I like the social realist style.

    I feel that Ranger 01 is yanking our chain. I'm unsubscribing from this silly thread. Feraud?

    What art is in your home?

    Good idea for a thread. I have two oil paintings my friend Nathan Hessler did which are both big portraits of me. I have a collection of "instant relatives" portrait photos from the 1900s-1940s. A lot of little kitschy greco-roman stuff like the Artemis of Anatolia in statuette form. Some small...

    Cavanagh or Dobbs?

    Looks nice no matter what ...

    Okay to wear matching patterned tie and suspenders?

    If they are all muted (light) colors it will probably remain tasteful.

    Muppet Show, Vaudeville, and Cabaret

    Whilst watching The Muppet Show with my daughter recently, I realized that it is vaudeville. It is picture perfect vaudeville. It is even "metatheatrical" with constant asides to the audience. I had not realized any of that in the 1970s and early 1980s when I watched it as a boy. Joel Grey...

    Ranger 01, are you putting us on? That photo is from AFTER tailoring? Did you REQUEST multiple breaks on the trousers and sleeves designed to hide not only your watch but your knuckles? I feel like you are pulling our legs! (Although if we had trousers like that, you could pull and pull and...
