    NERD ALERT PART II

    Oh, I'm still addicted, but I had a huge eye-rolling moment when Peter was revealed at the end and he has (surprise!) amnesia. The old soap opera standby. I hope they clear that up with the Irish boys really quick, because the 30 seconds I've seen of it is already wearing thin. I like...

    PBS "The War" Series

    As an aside, I read in the preface of the companion book that after The Civil War, Burns didn't want to do a series based on World War II. The process of making The Civil War was exhaustive and took years and years of research, and going through it again didn't appeal to him (The War ended up...

    Someday I'll copy that suit (dress, skirt, blouse)...

    I do it! I've done it twice for eBay stuff... once with a dress I lost in a bidding war, and once with the dress below. It looks disconcertingly like a wedding dress, though it I believe it was listed as a cocktail gown. I think it would look nice in emerald green (or if pigs fly, in that...

    PBS "The War" Series

    I picked up the companion book at Barnes and Noble last weekend... it was something like 40% off with my membership, so I couldn't resist. A good (but awkward - the thing's a tome!) read with some great photographs.

    Shearer's plastic purse & other goodies fromNYC trip

    Wilardy, Dorset Rex, Llewelyn, Rialto, Patricia of Miami & Stylecraft of Miami, Gilli... there's more, but I can't think off the top of my head. They took off in the 50's with the introduction of lucite. Oh, the fabulous plastics of the atomic era :D Sometimes they'll be signed or have the...

    Shearer's plastic purse & other goodies fromNYC trip

    If there weren't so many witnesses, I would have thieved them all! I about died... so beautiful and all in minty condition. I also made away with a newsboy's cap: And a pair of vintage sunglasses (holy photographer's reflection, Batman!):

    Auschwitz Officer Scrapbook

    Well, this thread has taken a turn I didn't expect... but what are the forums for, if not stimulating conversation? :) Regarding what Twitch said: As the thread-starter (and an American of German descent) let me say that I did not post the article as a means of vilifying the German people...

    Auschwitz Officer Scrapbook

    Next week, the Holocaust Memorial Museum will present an online photo gallery depicting candid shots of Auschwitz officers, SS Helferinnen, doctors and nurses near the end of the war. From the article: "The comparisons between the albums are both poignant and obvious, as they...

    Photos worth a thousand lies

    Yes, sad. The further I read, the more convoluted his claims seemed to become. Perhaps his family was right about senility - up to a degree. But their argument of his confusion between attending events and photographing them doesn't hold up for me. Kennedy's yacht? Erwitt's Khrushchev...

    Steampunk, Dieselpunk, etc.

    Someone in Dubai went to a lot of trouble to make steampunk sculptures of a storm trooper, Boba Fett, and the Alien: Link from Boing Boing, which is a veritable repository of steampunk artifacts.
