    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    Taking a constitutional - we still say that in our house. When I was a kid my dad would say that he was 'going to see a man about a dog' - that was code for going to the pub!

    I have a few of th Heyday 'Mary' dresses and th dark blue and black ones are versatile and really food for dances, especially with a nice brooch or applique. http://www.heydayonline.co.uk/default/womens-clothing/womens-dresses/mary-dresses

    Show us your vintage home!

    I am consistently gobsmaked by the quality of homes (and the size!) that you can get for the money in parts of the US. Our house is a glorified extended 1929 2 up, 2 down (originally 4 rooms in all with a bathroom and scullery), now with 4 small double beds, a small 10ft sq kitchen and one...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    I missed the first series or so but have been converted by this (series 3 I think). It's turned into the X Files crossed with Angel Heart, but much weirder!

    It is tough going vintage everyday.

    Hair color advice needed

    I'd have a look online for your colouring profile. I spent years having caramel and gold highlights in my hair and thinking they were not quite right for me but not knowing why. It's because I have a 'summer pale' complexion and suit cool whites/silver and not golds! Now, I have a white streak...

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    I'm ashamed to say that I knew next to nothing about Seamus Heaney, as he wasn't on the English curriculum when I was at school, but my, that's a beautiful and sad piece of poetry. Made me cry.

    30s Secretaries Dressing Inspiration

    scarletgrenadine - I LOVE that Miss Lemon blog, what a great source of info! I have a couple of 30's clutch bags just like hers and I was always baffled as to what that strap at the back was for.

    Show us your hair do's....

    Only just seen this GHT - I don't know if Miss Tuppence takes her own photos but my avatar isn't professionally done, it was just taken by my OH in a phonebox at Crich Tramway Museum a couple of years ago! One day us UK Loungers will all meet up somewhere central for a natter...

    Best Mascara (for vintage looks)?

    Anyone else tried They're Real by Benefit? I have light sparse lashes and I does do what it says on the tin, but I find it a bit drying and full on for everyday wear. I prefer a creamy mascara that thickens the lashes rather than extends them. I always used to use Max Factor 1000 calorie and...

    Period Films and Inaccuraces

    It's a romp, pure and simple so I can forgive WED pretty much anything. But Battle of Britain could have been a great film but is let down by these distractions. There was another WW2 set film on TV the other day with Christopher Plummer as a double agent (didn't catch the name) and there was a...

    Period Films and Inaccuraces

    The best example of that is Where Eagles Dare when Clint Eastwood (quiff!) and Richard Burton are dressed as German officers and are passing the checkpoint talking in English when they are supposed to be talking German - they don't even attempt a cod-Gernam accent. The rest of the film...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    I have just got back from a couple of weeks in Tunisia and one of the nights in the hotel I went down to dinner with my hair in victory rolls with modern clothes on, but with a vintage vibe and the head waiter rushed over and kissed my hand! His French was better than his English but he kept...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    I don't know about that. Liverpool is famous for girls going for entire Satrurday shopping trips in town with their hair set in huge curlers for their night out. It's not classy I'm afraid as the look is accompaied by Uggs, an orange tan and foot long fake eyelashes.
