    Gardens vegetable, flower or other?

    What color? I am going to try Sunsprite again when I have a place for a floribunda, but its a bright bright yellow and it doesn't play nicely with everything.

    Annoying phenomenon

    I know I was hearing people talk about steampunk before that movie came out. I've heard Back to the Future III attributed to the style, too, but that might be pushing it.

    Period Films and Inaccuraces

    It was probably filmed in Vancouver. Ever watch Smallville? Its amazing what Kansas looks like.

    If you said you looked like one celebrity from the Golden Era...

    My Mama recently said I looked like Lana Turner, but, well, she's my Mama. :o It was sweet to hear, though.

    Any modelers on Fedora Lounge?

    I love model trains. At the moment I can't afford them but I am plotting a set up (a very simple diorama with a hidden loop, I think, probably just running a trolley) and am getting/designing bits of scenery and houses in the meantime as that is more cost-approachable at the moment. O-scale...

    Period Films and Inaccuraces

    I wish in period movies they would do the makeup sorta at least close to the right decade. Rocketeer, they skipped the Betty Paige bangs on Jennifer Connolly on purpose, to move her to wanting to be an actress instead of a cheesecake girl like in the comics, but...why the eighties Brooke...

    Why the South?

    Waitresses are a different thing. :) Can't say I've been to the Melrose diner - that's South Philly if I'm not mistaken. I assume its like Jack's Deli up in the Northeast, though? Where the food is good, the coffee is bottomless, and the waitresses are nine hundred years old?

    Why the South?

    Is that what that is? I have a job where I get to speak to a lot of men in TX and GA and LA, and suddenly people think its okay to call me darling and sweetheart on the phone. Very strange. But I've never lived anywhere but Philadelphia and there IS a segment of the Philadelphia population...

    Autos of Never-were

    Add me to agreeing the only thing wrong with the concept Blackhawk is the grille. That Holden is pretty amazing, though.

    Why all the hatred towards black leather jackets?

    I had a dark green leather long coat of which I was fond. I don't think I still have it. I want a new-to-me leather coat at some point but I am still debating style and cut. A belted trench maybe but in that case a basic sand fabric trench might go with more things? I am also the terrible...

    Golden Era Asian Films

    Was Memoirs of a Geisha better than the book? Because I tried to like the book, really I did...?

    The Green Hornet

    Thanks, its been years since I've seen the clip. I still want a serious Green Hornet. I'm not talking like grim, but straight? The Rocketeer? Maybe? Please?

    The Green Hornet

    In the Batman Beyond cartoon, there's a scene of a bunch of little boys in Gotham playing, repeating things they've heard about the legendary Batman, and getting more and more excited until one goes "...Batman's car can fly!" Disdainfully, another kid says, "Shut up, Joel." lol

    Autos of Never-were

    I think I would go with a Buick-ish thing. A Buick Roadmaster, about, oh, '48-ish, with the big grinning grill and of course the chrome side spears. And fins, for no good reason, I think, even though that's not very '40s. Gotta keep the portholes, too. This is not about understatement.

    The Green Hornet

    Man, and after what they did to the Spirit. I just want a serious-ish pulpy play-it-straight fedora-hero movie. In the wake of Nolan's Dark Knight, why are we doing Schumacher's Batman and Robin?

    Nerd Culture in the 1920's and 30's

    Which socio-political background are we attributing it to? Just curious. I had my own idea on this but its as ethnic/cultural as anything.

    The Adventurer's Gear Thread

    Did that go in guns instead of here? I could swear I saw gun stuff here before. I can talk about hats instead. And my new Red Wing boots!

    The Adventurer's Gear Thread

    Can some kind soul please point me to articles or blogs, or something of that nature on adventurers' shotguns? I know everyone loves the massive safari rifles, but my father and brother and I were discussing styles of shotgun, over-and-under vs. side-by-side, double triggers, lever-action...

    Autos of Never-were

    That's what my brother said when designing his atavistmobile. lol He went directly to a Cadillac V-16, he's got good taste. Me, I think I could manage to content myself with a more subtle little number. ;)

    Autos of Never-were

    It sounds like I am not the only person who misses straight six and straight eight engines. Sturdy. What a thing to trade for GPS. :( CRANK windows, yes! I forgot to specify that for my own, but a thousand times yes.
