    What Are You Reading

    I finished Tess last night (after having set it aside during the holidays) and it was everything I'd hoped for. A gorgeous book. Oh, that ending...:( Decided after such a deeply cathartic book I needed a break, so I'm working through Mick LaSalle's Dangerous Men, about pre-Code actors...

    Baby It's Cold Outside

    Don't forget being able to wear my cloche(s) without getting strange looks from the neighborhood! lol

    Baby It's Cold Outside

    You're right, especially considering the rain - but I'm always cold. So it feels much, much worse to me than it actually is. lol

    Baby It's Cold Outside

    The forecasters keep saying "Coldest winter in 30 years!" which makes me want to poke them in the eye. Or perhaps hit them with my snow shovel. :eusa_doh: I don't usually mind the winter but this year it's just too much. shakeshead

    I Like Playing Vintage

    WHOA. That's beautiful! :eusa_clap I have a beautiful repro record player - one of those 4-in-1 music systems - but sadly no vinyl to play on it. Not yet. :D

    Old Hollywood Stars: Before and After

    The inimitable Brooksie. Mary Louise Brooks as a tiny tot: Her early years of stardom, in the Scandals: Her heyday, in Pandora's Box: In the Forties, as a dance instructor: and finally, in 1984, a year before her death:

    Television... who's sick of it? Anyone?

    I'm not a couch potato by any means, but there are certain shows I like to watch, and since I don't have high-speed internet yet I do still watch them on TV. Aside from TCM, I'm a fan of House, glee, LOST, and Family Guy. Oh, and the occasional Golden Girls marathon. lol

    Thin Man on TCM New Year's Eve 2009

    Somehow I've made it this long without seeing it. I plan to rectify this tonight! :eusa_clap

    Show Us Your Vintaged Inspired Business Cards

    Not really business cards, more like something to hand out when people ask me "do you blog?" The image is my muse, Clara Bow.

    What's on your keychain?

    • a tiny Swiss Army knife • a vintage St Christopher medal from my grandmother • a couple of discount card keytags • a memory stick (all my silent film photos are on there!) • a little flashlight (company swag from a while ago) and a piece of red yarn from when I was matching a bedspread...

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

    Aww, sometimes I like the phony oldness. If it's a tea tray or other little bauble. :D

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

    I like "shabby chic" when it's done with bits and scraps of modern things, not priceless treasures. The idea of turning a beautiful piece of vintage furniture (or anything for that matter) into a crackly chintzy mess just hurts. :eusa_doh:
