The "Organic" Trend - do you believe the hype?
Interesting you should say that because between 1940 and 1991 the Ministry of Agriculture, Farms and Fisheries (MAFF, now DEFRA) conducted a long term study of farming practices in the UK. The findings indicate that during those 50 years, there was a 76% decline in the trace mineral content of...- GOK

Counting Your Change...
Be that pirate gold ye got there? Aaarrrrrr! We're always finding dollars, euros, lira, litas and roubles in our change jars. But it's all modern, nothing vintage unfortunately, and all comes from my partner never bothering to change back money when he returns from business trips. There's...- GOK

Grease
They seem to be doing this kind of thing all the time over here - televised casting and rehearsals. I can't comment on the quality of the programmes as I've never seen them. I've worked in theatre far too long to want to watch the process on television!!! lol In answer to Gray's question, I...- GOK

dog fur coats at Macys.
I don't have time at the moment to fully post in this thread but I just wanted to say that it's not hype. It might not happen at every fur farm in China and Russia but it certainly happens in some. I've seen the filmed footage myself and I can tell you that it is heartbreaking to say the least. :(- GOK

Glamour As Armour?
I can honestly say that there have only been a few times in my life when I have ever been jealous of someone else and it has never been because they have been better looking or more glam than I!! I don't know if it's because I am content to be who I am (that's not to say I am entirely happy with...- GOK

Glamour As Armour?
Good point, Scott. This is what women did back in the 80s to affirm their authority and expertise in their careers...hence 'power dressing'. I see no reason why it should actually be any different for men. Besides, if we know we look good, it does give us confidence - and confident people are...- GOK

Glamour As Armour?
Warning: long and potentially boring post!!! I don't know, I've been brought up to always be well mannered and polite, so it's not a conscious thing I do - it just happens. Granted there have been times (and still are) when it's been difficult to be affable in the face of hostility but when...- GOK

Glamour? Or Down To Earth Reality
Welcome to the forum, Princess! Oohh are you a fan of Irregular Choice, Schuh, Bronx, Fly, Lulu Guiness, DHavz? Absolutely wonderful footwear. :D I don't even own any nighties (or PJs)!! ;) And that, my dear, is key. If you feel glam, then that is what is important. And let's not...- GOK

Glamour As Armour?
:eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap I suspect a lot of it boils down to insecurity in most cases, which is a shame because those that behave like that just end up missing out on so much. However, no matter how much we may try to understand and be patient with people, eventually they just...- GOK
