Sierra Foothills? Sounds up my alley. I'll ask my people. One of my best friends is still in the business. Thanks for the lead.- Dr Doran

California Wines
My Kosher Jewish friends have introduced me to a tasty kosher Zinfandel called Baron Herzog. I think it is from California. Not expensive: perhaps 10 bucks. Worth a look. I honestly think Ravenswood is not so good anymore, but that's just me talking. I am, once again, a freak for...- Dr Doran

VintageGoth?
I never paid attention to that film so I don't know. I walked out of it. Is there anyone else out there who loved Death in June and Current 93? Hellllllllooooooooooooo?- Dr Doran

VintageGoth?
I have, yes, seen Einsturzende live. As for Propaganda magazine, that was godawful: 5 or more typos per ultraglossy page plus many semi-nude young male models. Not my cuppa tea. I'll look for the Bauhaus.- Dr Doran

The Over Medium Egg
The movie that really, really explains this (although you did an amazing job) is a Polish film from the late 70s or perhaps early 80s called SEX MISJA or SEX MISSION. It concerns Soviet Polish workers put into suspended animation who wake up in a Fellini-"City of Women"-type world where women...- Dr Doran

VintageGoth?
Great to see this thread. I never called myself a goth, but I was heavily into punk-rock in the 1980s and I always liked some industrial and goth such as Einsturzende Neubauten, Throbbing Gristle, Current 93, DEATH IN JUNE (I'm a huge fan and have seen them play), Sol Invictus, and of course...- Dr Doran

Hat Ribbons
Please excuse my vast ignorance on this subject. I have a good vintage grey fedora that came with a black ribbon which now bores me. Is there a visual resource on the internet that will allow me to look at such a hat with different color ribbons to decide what would look more... -
Has any of you heard of this French Hat?
I do have a French vintage fedora by LUCIEN DE BRABANT. Could be the same maker. It's a good fedora. -
Do you have a strategy on ebay????
My good Lounger, PLENTY of superb stuff just happens to go unnoticed. Plenty. I have found marvelous things for a pittance and the Lounge is full of tales of people who have gotten e.g. a fedora for cheap on the Bay.- Dr Doran

Jay, marvelous shots. I think the wider brimmed hat suits you better than the stinge. -

Exciting archaeological discoveries....
One nice thing is when we find an inscription that confirms what a classical author stated. For example, Thucydides records seeing an inscription on an altar dedicated by Peisistratos son of the Athenian tyrant Hippias. Then in 1877 the altar was FOUND, with the inscription exactly as Thucydides...- Dr Doran

California Wines
Utterly cool. Excellent idea. Falernian, Chian in Horace. Horace Odes 1.18, 3.21, 3.25. Remember that the Greeks mixed their wine with water in a krater and thought drinking it straight was barbaric ... must have been pretty potent stuff. Then again, if you tried to reconstruct these they...- Dr Doran
