    Who do you RESPECT most?

    Going to clean up my list a bit as I hadn't even remembered filling it out: To stick solely with the Golden Age: Audie Murphy The Bielski brothers (not picking 1) Paul Newman, not a war-hero like above, but for for his charity work as well as being, as far as I know, one of the most...

    How did this thread get so far without pickles and deviled eggs?

    What Sort of Vintage Enthusiast Are You?

    I want to learn to knit to be more of a Reproducer, for the very selfish reason of I seem to find colours of vintage sweaters I like, and styles of vintage sweaters - and never on the same sweater! [huh]

    What Sort of Vintage Enthusiast Are You?

    I'm an Accessorist by budgetary constraint, (small pieces affordable at thrift stores, etc.) with lots of small authentic doo-dads and bits and pieces layered on top of vintage inspired things. I have the most admiration for Reproducers, but while I can do a bit for home decor and cooking and...

    Our own vintage town

    The description doesn't sound far off Golden Era Philly, except the front yards are smaller than some neighborhoods? How big? Is this just about skyscrapers? (don't you know skyscrapers are what cursed the Phillies?)

    Softening a hard face / severe physique

    I've known a lot of big, imposing men, who seem to know it, and rock the pink, or mint green accessories. Sometimes it looks really good, even if I don't tend to think "oh, rose" when thinking of colors that I like on men. I wondered if this was pure confidence, or also affected by...

    Our own vintage town

    But agricultural use is permitted in town? Or I can have a few hens and a rabbit hutch even on a town lot? You still sometimes see chickens even in tiny rowhome yards back home. Also if I can't paint my house a non-beige color I shall be excessively cranky, in a hat-and-gloves sort of way...

    Your alter Golden-age ego?

    I would love to be a frosty, regal, upper-crust athletic tennis-and-horseback riding Yankee like Katherine Hepburn. But I'm probably more of a 2nd cousin to the Gabors, darlink. lol

    Ladies, what scents do you like on your men?

    I got my guy to wear Old Spice for me... it makes me very happy.

    How often do you wash your hair? (guys & gals)

    I wash my hair about twice a week. Any more and it starts fluffing out in the bad, straw-like way.

    Pomade in men's hair, ladies?

    I like it, and voted yes, but pomade is one of those when its good, its very very good, and when its bad aaaagh run away type looks. I adore on a guy with THICK hair and a fairly fit body - and really find it unforgiving on men without both of these things in place. It will just look sad and...

    Any ladies still sporting a pixie cut?

    I love pixie cuts but I am afraid I just can't wear them. They are a favourite style, but my face shape refuses to cooperate and I am afraid of looking like a horror. Everyone tells me not to go shorter than a chin-length bob - at shortest - but I love Audrey and Elizabeth Taylor type short...

    Dating for Fedora Loungers?

    Not to speak for younger girls everywhere, just me as I remember it, but I was mostly just more compartmentalized in what I thought vs. how I acted. I was shy, actually, though I seemed outgoing. A lot of my girlfriends could have seemed superficial, I guess - but they very much tiered how...

    Gardens vegetable, flower or other?

    I had black peppermint and spearmint and I can't say snow did much to curtail their habits - they died back in winter, sure, but came back bigger and badder every year, except that the black peppermint was eventually bred into nothingness via cohabitation with the other mint varieties.

    The Green Lantern

    I think Guy Gardner is the best Lantern!* *I am so ashamed of being the sort of geek who is invested in which Lantern is the best. The costume does come from the ring in the comics, anyway.

    The Patriot: Mel Gibson

    Topic - my brother is not a huge vintage buff but whenever he finds the Patriot on cable he watches just to laugh at the hair and slo-mo tomahawk fighting revolutionizing modern warfare.

    The Patriot: Mel Gibson

    Well I'm under 30 and it was really sad to me. I still have a tiny softspot for Lethal Weapon and Payback and Braveheart. Never liked Patriot anyway and will never pay to see his work again but Gibson was great. Once. Too bad he's a terrible person.

    Bug out bag ETO 1939

    Then, respectfully, I'll leave the King James where I found it; someone may need it more than I, and I don't need the weight.

    Finding the Palest Foundation

    I use C1 in the L'Oreal (called Alabaster) and it's as light as W1 but pinkish instead of ivory. My sister uses N1 and I forget what its name is but its their "neutral" - which was too warm for me but just right for her.
