    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    Great outfit - I love the Twin Peaks girls' aesthetic (Audrey, Laura and Donna, that is)! It totally went over my head when I saw it originally, but I see so many things in it now. Dale Cooper's hairdo - yum!

    "summer wave" rollers

    Hmm, interesting...never seen anything like it. How big are they?

    Vintage style "exercise" clothes?

    In complete agreement - a 42" hip is nowhere near XXL in my head! And lord help you if you have an hourglass figure - either their trousers will be tight on the bum and gaping at the waist, or the durn things get stuck on the thighs! It's doubly annoying because I have an instructor discount...

    Dita Von Teese

    When they started talking about lipsticks I was really hoping that she'd say what she was wearing at that moment - love that colour!

    Vintage style "exercise" clothes?

    I must admit to having a bit of a bone - literally - to pick with the SB catalogues in general. Most of their models are so uniformly stick-thin and their thighs often airbrushed to oblivion. They don't look strong or sporty, or even sweaty for that matter. Each time I receive it I feel like...

    Have You Ever Met A Movie/TV Star or Celebrity?

    I sent a letter to Mr. Luke when I was just a little girl asking him for his autograph, which he sent so kindly with a very sweet inscription - I had such a crush on him (and still...)! I dragged my other half (a keen musician - and not so keen Yoga practitioner) to a Yoga Show, and who should...

    HELP!!! Is this a great deal? The horror!

    http://www.1stdibs.com/furniture_item_detail.php?id=369160&cur_tab= We've also been on the hunt for an art deco settee, and this is one item which caught our eye which struck me as similar. Considering that this suite is going for $3000-something, well... I do second the opinion, though...

    Are you modest on the beach or will you wear a bikini?

    I do feel more comfortable in a one-piece, but I will do a bikini if it is an Esther Williams-style model. The modern-day bum floss models you can keep them. They're both unstylish and put waaay too much on public display for my taste. And Speedos on the fellas (or as the Aussies say...

    Like, You know

    I can think of someone who may possibly out-foul your mother, and that's my mother! (She was in the military and almost did become a drill sergeant...) I'm sure this is why, to echo Rue's problem, expletives trip so readily off of my tongue decades after having moved from the parental home...

    Dita Von Teese

    Just a heads up, in case anyone's interested (and can afford it), that Wheels & Dollbaby cardi that we discussed on page 39 of this thread is being sold on ASOS for (gasp!) £150. I'm going to save it as a favourite in the hope that one day it will go on sale...

    Show Us Your Purchases!

    The dress is adorable, but those earrings are stellar! Nice haul!

    Bad Book - Better Movie?

    Okay, since I caught it on the telly last night - The Road to Wellville. Could not get through the book, as I found the authour's tone, well, just plain mean-spirited, whilst the film was buoyant and kind of sweet and lightly humourous (as sweet as one can be when high colonics are the main...

    Argyle sweaters

    Ooooh, me too, Binkie! If only they had it in small...(sorry for lurking in your thread, fellas, but I love argyle vests!)

    'Strangers in the Night' songwriter dies, aged 92.

    As my mother tells it, that's what the doc was humming as I was being brought into the world...

    Beauty?

    Victoria Beckham, stunning?! Blech! Stunned, maybe, as she seems to be capable of but one facial expression! She is a skeleton that pouts! Like some of the previous posters, my idea of beauty is pretty skew-whiff, and always has been. I find Edward G. Robinson beautiful, mostly due to how...

    Best beauty decision you've made?

    I posted earlier when this thread was first started, but since another decision was made. Just before Christmas I went and had my hair chopped off to shoulder level (before it was about mid-shoulder level, and relatively unmanageable, so much so that I would just pull it into a ponytail most of...

    Flesh and the Devil (1926)

    It's like he was eclipsed by Garbo and never recovered, either during his lifetime or posthumously. He definitely deserves a TCM box set of his own.

    Need for Music?

    Absolutely, it's a healthy addiction! Especially since in the last few years I've just started listening to (pre-bebop) jazz and rock and roll, after a lifetime of listening to mostly heavy metal (which I can no longer bear). It's like being an adolescent all over again and discovering and...

    Flesh and the Devil (1926)

    Let us know how it is quality-wise, Scotrace. I'm in agreement that the church and the cigarette scenes are, um, smokin'! I've not seen much since that surpasses them in unbridled eroticism! Perhaps any hint of androgyny in Garbo - which I must admit I don't see, either - has something to do...

    Bad Book - Better Movie?

    I preferred The Story of Temple Drake to Sanctuary, just couldn't get into Faulkner's characters at all. Also, whilst I disliked the film American Psycho, I really really detested the book. The authour kept putting his point across with a sledgehammer.
