As a Father of two wonderful children ( a boy of 10 and a girl of 7) I have enjoyed the opportunity beginning to share via Netflix and such some of the TV shows from my childhood that I both enjoyed and learned from.
While I don't neccessarily think every episode of an old favorite show are...
The last episode of Season three of Babylon 5 "Zha'ha'Dun"
Absolutely great!

I had a tux from my 20's through my late 30's. It saw little use save the annual formal work Christmas Party when I worked for a Staffing Company.
When I got interested in my Scottish heritage I had my current tailcoat modified for highland attire and purchased a formal doublet for white tie...
Edward,
The jacket was a $15 thrift store find and unfortunately had no tags at all. Due to its condition I am certain that it is a modern jacket not vintage. One interesting feature it has is that it is reversable. One side is in Glenurquart tweed with pouch pockets and the other is a light...
As a planner and MC of an annual Burns Night Supper I was thinking about Burn's "To A Haggis" yesterday while writing this year's Immortal Memory.
Tasty stuff and I should make a point of enjoying it more often.
While I like haggis but I suspect that the mild oat and lamb sausage that we...
Just discovered Hula.com and watched two original Outer Limits episodes with my 10 year old son "Fun and Games" and "Demon with a Glass Hand"
Good stuff
Cheers

Me with my new kilt, tweed casual jacket, and cromach (though same old battered but beloved balmoral cap to top off the outfit :) )
I am ready for some nice Fall weather

Ridley Scot's The Duellists
A really in interesting movie about Hussars in Napoleon's Army
It was based on a Joseph Conrad short story and Conrad based the it on a real tale of two officers who fought multiple duels with each other over the years
Well worth checking out if you haven't...

It is a really wonderful mild single malt that is a very good start. I have offered this to friends that say "I don't like scotch" and they like this one.
Later on you can start tasting the smokier/peatier single malts, but this one is a good one for "testing...
F M,
I would humbly suggest that there is a massive difference between
"I imagine a town where everyone dresses nicely like the movies of the thirties and forties. A place where people have manners, civic values, and respect for others and themselves"
and
"I imagine a town where I...
Then I certainly wouldn't want to live there.
The type of town I think most people are imagining is one where the best vintage qualities we remember or see in the old movies are exemplified. One where personal responsibility, respect to others, and politeness (not to mention dressing rather...
The perfect name for this town would be ...Vintage
Think about it
"Welcome to Vintage California" , "Welcome to Vintage Arizona", "Vintage New York", etc
It sums up all of what we like
Cheers
Jamie

The Wild Wild West...
They were given to us as gifts at the Ball. By odd coincidence they matched our outfits perfectly. It was an older crowd of Ladies and Gentlemen attending the ball but those folks knew how to dance and have a great time. So my bride and I donned our Fez (fezes? fezi?) and hit the floor. Everyone...
It occurs to me that it doesn't really matter if one person in a relationship is interested in vintage fashion and the other isn't. A matched set is nice and all but sometimes contrast is wonderful too.
I like tweed jackets, ties, hats (not to mention Frank Sinatra, old B&W movies. :) )...
