    Myths of the Golden Era -- Exploded!

    I love her music! She may not be retro, but she's great to listen to while I exercise! RD

    The general decline in standards today

    I have to say I'm surprised that everyone here who has commented so far on the Aurora tragedy thinks it's a decline in cultural standards when it's most likely more about continuing to skirt mental health issues here in the US especially. Since Reagan had his way in dumping hundreds of...

    Today's Pinup Fashion a Sly Wink to the Past - New York Times

    According to that chart, with my height of 5'10" I should weigh 164 lbs. That's actually not too far off from where I'm at, especially considering women today probably have more muscle mass than their predecessors. RD

    Is chivalry dead?

    I guess I'm not a militant feminist, because I don't want women to be the same as men. But I do think women should be given the same opportunities as men and not have wage disparities for working the same jobs. That's part of where feminism started, and I don't think that's a horrible thing at...

    Today's Pinup Fashion a Sly Wink to the Past - New York Times

    I hate this attitude that women are supposed to be somehow morally more uptight than men, yet aren't held to any respect for it anyway; they get called "prudes", and that's at the most benign end of the spectrum. The old "boys will be boys" mentality is damaging to both men and women, for it...

    Vintage for the over 40 crowd

    I don't have much in the way of resources for you, but as a 43-year old, I hear ya! My ramblings are as follows: You touched on how invisible women can be when they get older, except when they try to look desperately young. I think it's when the desperation shows through that it's a problem...

    Remix Shoes!!

    Somehow I managed to miss the part where Re-mix has a retail store here in Los Angeles, but I found out about it and went there today in hopes of getting the Gloria wedgie. It turns out that by their standards, I have narrow feet, and they don't have half-sizes, so the size I usually wear(size...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I thought Brave was the best Disney princess movie that Disney will never make. It's a film where if Disney hadn't gotten sidetracked with snarky and sarcastic side characters who throw in dated comedy (I blame Robin Williams in Aladdin for starting that craze), they would have eventually done...

    Motorcycle girls

    To me just about all the Harleys are based on older bike designs, with the exception of the V-rod. :D I was in a 60-mph motorcycle accident almost three months ago and was lucky to literally walk away from it. I ended up trading in both the bike that was wrecked and my other bike for a brand...

    "Mad Men" on AMC (US) - (Spoilers Within)

    I used to be fairly ambivalent about Pete because I find Vincent to be an interesting actor, but last night made me hate that little jerk SO MUCH. What he and Lane did to convince Joan to sleep with the car man was so, SO vile. Both Pete and Lane were so self-serving, it made me ill...and it...

    I had a fight with my wife tonight....

    Every time my motorcycle hasn't started, I wasn't conveniently at home at the time. AAA and I have gotten to know each other way too well! RD

    Is style stuck in a 2 decade rut?

    I know I'm getting old when I hear what we're all calling Converse by the more specific name, "Chucks" or "Chuck Taylors". I had no idea when I first heard "Chucks" that it was referring to the high-top Converse that most of us wore at some point when we were younger! Another example...

    Ladies...I need your help!

    A google search brought this up quickly: Girlie Show Pinup Photography Unfortunately Yelp didn't seem to have them listed anywhere for review, but at least you can start there?

    Wallis Simpson Makeup

    That was interesting to watch! And due to the sidebar of suggested videos to watch, I went on quite the watching spree about related royalty programs, too! Fun! Thanks for the link! RD

    Vintage make up for eyeglass wearers

    I have a tough time being happy with the way I do my makeup when I wear my glasses. I'm extremely nearsighted, so the prescription of the lenses is very apparent and they make my eyes disappear. I feel that it doesn't matter what I do, whether I emphasize the eyes or the lips, it seems that when...

    Ok, so some things in the golden era were not too cool...

    Quality produce isn't a given EVERYWHERE. It isn't a given in the areas where obesity is highest. When one is surrounded by bad food everywhere, it's harder to get healthy. Plain and simple. That doesn't mean it's impossible, but I think it's disingenuous to conclude that it's all laziness and...

    Ok, so some things in the golden era were not too cool...

    Corn is a political agenda because it's been pushed by the food lobbyists. It's not equal to sugar in the way it reacts in some people's metabolism...or animals, for that matter. Cows aren't meant to eat corn, or themselves, yet that's what they're fed, and people are eating it. And people are...

    Ok, so some things in the golden era were not too cool...

    It's not as simple as, "Just go buy fruits and vegetables" to solve the obesity problem in the US. As has been pointed out, not only is produce not as cheap as fast food because of the food lobbyists in Washington DC, but the quality of produce in some areas is grotesque at best. I've seen some...
