    What's Your Favorite WWII Era Uniform?

    Odd piece of trivia- some German Uniforms were designed by none other than Hugo Boss. Not much of a surprise, given the sharp, tailored look that Boss is known for to this day...

    Classic Style Magazine

    A bit of advice from an old general in the B&N army: never trust what they tell you about magazines. Due to the way that they are received, it's damn near impossible to tell what you carry at present, and slightly nearer to it to tell what you have carried in the past. The system is unreliable...

    What has happened to society?

    Ah, touche, my good man... But let us not forget the venerable Mr. Dickens, who said, "Any man may be in good spirits and good temper when he's well dressed. There ain't much credit in that."...

    Tie clip / tie bar

    What about tie pins/tacs? I have managed to get my boyfriend into a tie every day, and i got him two tie pins, because he doesn't like the bars. You guys think maybe a neat Vintage bar might do the trick??[huh]

    Creed of the more mature lady....

    *I am keeping my younger boyfriend! *I will wear bright red lipstick every day, if feel like it! *I will eat something at least once a day without reading the calorie/fat/carb count on it!!!!!!!! *I will stop comparing myself to every woman that is taller, thinner, cuter, or younger than me...

    French films and actresses....

    I love Pepe as well; I am mildly disturbed by Algiers. It's just such a close reshoot. Even some of the stock footage is the same, and he went so far as to cast supporting actors who resembled the French originals. I guess I have a tendency to feel bad for Gabin. The studio behind Algiers...

    What has happened to society?

    I'm in agreement with Feraud. Clothes absolutely do NOT make the man; at best, they make in impression of the man, an illusion. After that, it's up to the individual to present themselves and, hopefully, live up to that impression. To paraphrase Mammy- you can give yourself airs and get all...

    What has happened to society?

    It's funny; I grew up in Central New Jersey, and there is one county- Bergen- that still has blue laws. They allow absolutely no commerce on Sundays, with the exception of Gas Stations and Pharmacies. The Manager of the Barnes and Noble there informed me that on Saturday nights, they had to have...

    What Are You Reading

    I am currently bouncing back and forth between The Somnambulist, by Jonathan Barnes, and a reread of Alan Moore's Watchmen. I recommend both, the latter is an imperative.

    French films and actresses....

    This was the first French film I ever saw; it remains one of my favorites on many lists- B&W, Fairy Tales, Foreign... The dubbing issue is a deal-breaker for me- if that's the way I have to watch something, I won't. I remember being very excited to see Brotherhood of the Wolf, and the person...

    French films and actresses....

    Ahh... Gabin. I absolutely adore this man; I could watch him watch the grass grow. He had such a such a rare quality. He has been referred to as the "French Bogart". I, however, am more inclined to think of Bogart as the "American Gabin"... My favorite, though, is Port of Shadows. I love the...

    Creed of the more mature lady....

    Very true... I remember, as a little girl, laying in bed at my grandmother's house at some ungodly hour of the morning, listening to her in the bathroom fixing her hair and getting dressed...

    Creed of the more mature lady....

    I am on board with this 100%. I turn 35 in a few months, and I have begun to worry that I am soon to be "too old" to pay attention to this the way that I do. The clothes, the hair, the level of commitment... But, the way I see it, everyone makes a decision every morning on what to wear, how to...

    Your Favorite Cartoons You Don't See Anymore

    My favorite cartoon as a kid was something called Broadway Bow Wow's; a story about a pair of Vaudeville dog's rise and fall. I used to wait for it with bated breath every day. Thank the stars for the Internet. I also loved the "Maw and Paw" cartoons. They had a really smart...

    Classic Style Magazine

    We carried it at the B&N I work for; the Fall 2007 sold out sometime on November, and then... nothing. I drive my Magazine Lead nuts asking after it, but we just haven't received it. I think I'm going to have to call the Magazine Coordinator and see what she has to say. Maybe I'll get an answer...

    The Last Man on Earth.

    It seems to me that Matheson suffers in translation to film in general (unless, of course, he was writing specifically for it); What Dreams May Come, Duel, Somewhere in Time... I did like Stir of Echoes, though; quite well done.

    Comfort instead of bidding?

    You quit smoking? Good for you! I just did as well, but I do find that that I have rationalized spending the money I would have spent on cigarettes on anything else that catches my fancy. There is a Vintage shop in my local mall, of all places, and my weaknesses are hats and handbags. I swear...

    Embarrassing Moments

    Wow... the old "hold on for dear life through your pocket" angle. I have, alas, done that more than once. Back in my Sisters of Mercy youth, it was quite a difficult manoeuver, seeing as how you were hopelessly grasping through layers of lace, brocade, or, god forbid, vinyl... every time you did...
