    Harking for a simpler time.....

    A hearty welcome to the Lounge, Indyoriginal. Would that there were more "young'uns" like yourself!

    Modern Products with Vintage Style Packaging

    I've seen some really intriguing cocktail recipes with this as an ingredient: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bottle_of_St._Germain_Elderflower_liqueur.jpg I love floral-flavoured things and the bottle is so gorgeous it looks like something perfume would be in.

    Can you dance and walk?

    Proper ballroom shoes actually are suede-soled, which you brush up on a regular basis - like chanteuseCarey says, if you wear them outdoors the soles will be buggered in no time flat.

    Modern Products with Vintage Style Packaging

    This one is delicious, and I've just ordered the Amarelli Liquorice Mint flavour (the tube goes beautifully with my bathroom decor!) http://carterandbond.com/detail.phtml?pID=MV6003&filter=Brands%3AMarvis

    What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?

    Good idea - I'll have a good perusal of her website. I have so many "almost perfects", so I'm always on the lookout for that "perfect red".

    What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?

    Just a thought - it seems that the products which rate the highest in terms of lead content are owned by companies who test on animals or who have done so in the fairly recent past... Some of those Rockalily lipsticks look intriguing - I wish you could get swatches or something!

    What's wrong with Ebay?

    (Sorry fellas, girl poking her head in here...) I think what you describe is pretty normal. Speaking for myself, my watch list is much much longer than my "to buy" list. I either watch stuff as an informal education, to see how much things will go for in whatever condition they happen to be...

    Harking for a simpler time.....

    And the same can be said about all of these devices and gadgets which were meant to simplify our lives - mobile phones, email, etc. - which are the same kind of double-edged swords. I don't think that the information (and misinformation) overload that we're subjected to on a daily basis has...

    The London Necropolis Company.

    The first link doesn't work, but the second does [huh]. Thanks for this link - I too love anything spooky and this is a really interesting bit of history. It does just beg to be used in something Weird Tales-ish!

    Ideas for vintage-style winter hat?

    Alice Hannah does some cute vintage-y stuff along those lines, often with scarf &/or gloves to match. I'm a big fan of woolen or knit berets and cloche-type things, with a bow, or attaching a paste brooch to them...

    Vintage Desecration - Things Altered/Repurposed, and a Vintage Treasure Lost Forever.

    How about this topic having its very own thread - I mean, are there any brands left worthy of consumer confidence in a well-made (and preferably in the same country-made) product?

    Pajamas in public...

    On the subject of Hefner, my lips are sealed from here on out, V.C. Brunswick. It's killin' me, but I'm turnin' the other cheek! :rolleyes:

    Pajamas in public...

    Please don't post pictures showing how Hef's done that, PoohBang; you'll get this thread closed down! :eeek: In all seriousness, I'd give the man a plus for his nice leisurewear in that pic, and for what he's done for our classic films, but how many minuses for what can only be described as...

    Dita Von Teese

    +1 :yawn: I would have expected to see something more, um, bullet-y, and less, melon-y in the way of bras, and more high-waisted stuff. Heinie-floss, you can get anywhere.

    Nothing but Seamed Stockings

    Look at the price of these now, whoa...bargain if you're small/tall!

    Is style stuck in a 2 decade rut?

    ^^^ But LizzieMaine, I get those messages all the time in my email box...:o

    Show us what you've made!

    No one can wear green like a redhead - stunning look, Jenniferose7! (Now I'm thinking of that green cotton I've got in my stash...:) )

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    I know what you mean, about the bridal/medical thing, but I think that like there are "hat people", there are "white shoe" people. I mean, people who can wear them without looking like they're off to change a bedpan or tie the knot! (I wouldn't qualify, for sure, with my gunboats encased in...

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    I'm drooling over these in green... http://www.rocketoriginals.co.uk/proddetail.asp?prod=NANCY-CREAM (I have the Gloria in black, so thought our tastes may run roughly the same :))
