    Hello! Hope y'all don't mind a newcomer :)

    Welcome Nadia! It is always great to welcome newcomers, especially another Canadian one! You will find people here all share the same love of the golden era/vintage but how we express that day to day really varies. Some people dress full on vintage all day every day, and some hardly ever do, but...

    Wow! You all have been so busy..i love all your lovely frocks ! I am ashamed to say, my sewing machine got put into the storage closet when i moved 2 years ago, and i haven't seen it since.

    Ladies, what are you doing this evening?

    Tonight I reorganized my Linen closet...a project I have put off for FAAAR too long. But, it was very satisfying..I can't stop opening the door to peek in. :D Now, i am sitting up in bed watching David Letterman. Turning out the light soon, and snuggling under my down duvet. Thats Friday...

    Men: Would it bother you if your wife were the main "bread winner" in the family?

    Sometimes, these things happen by force, not choice. My husband has been unable to work for about 10 years due to severe illness. I am the sole breadwinner. Even though, there is no way on earth he could work, I know he finds it deeply degrading. The truth is, I don't make a lot of money, so we...

Soooo many times i get to the same place , feeling great about this no-dye decision untill i see that patch at my temples and I always panic, practically running to the drugstore.But, i am trying to tell myself that soft, shiny hair...

    anyone wear grey hair?

    :bump: Thought i would attempt to revive this conversation, as i have just decided in the past week to let my hair go gray,and wondering if there are others in the same place. I actually just a month ago had my hair (which was just past my shoulders) cut short. My main reason for...

    Oh, the Stigma of an Astigmatism. . .

    I'm about to draw myself a bath, and...

    My favourite thing about a nice bath is not usually so much about the bath itself, but what I do AFTER the bath. I always like to have a long, luxurious soak before I get dressed up, if i am going out. Or if not, will have a nice big glass of red wine poured for when i get out, climb into...

    Is chivalry dead?

    Mr. Bleu and I were discussing this very thing a couple nights ago. Whatever happened to all these hilarious female comedians who once used to be truly funny and have in their golden years come to depend on their potty mouths to get a chuckle. Since when are dirty old ladies considered funny?
