My dad. Great guy, hardworking, crazy as can be. Good sense of humor but totally antisocial ("what the hell do I need friends for? I have your mother...") and stone-cold paranoid. I'm talking full-on fighting black helicopters paranoid. If someone knocks at the door he hides. If someone calls on...
Do those Frye boots run big, small, or true to size? I'm debating a mens' pair of engineer boots. I need sturdy, flat, work boots that won't fall apart. I should be about a 7 I think.
Also will I just look heinous? I could look for flat girls' boots but so many of them seem light and shoddy...
First high heels, I remember. I was thirteen, I got two pairs for the same weekend adventure, one pair was sand-gold and closed-toe, the other navy patent leather and open-toed. I still have them, somewhere, even though my feet grew one more size. (I never got any taller, though, than I was at...
That first one looks like a Shabbat candle set my mom has, sort of, I'll take a pic of it. Well not like it like the same set just a reminiscent style.
My parents are currently using a '50s sort-of-modern one because the one we bought new a few years ago, well, it plotzed! A whole "arm" fell...
I would like a leopard-print pencil skirt.
That said, I REALLY want a little glam upholstered leopard print chair and an Art Deco vanity with one of those huge round mirrors. I think a small-scaled assymetric chair is just the thing in leopard print. I know homegoods aren't the same as...
In my family we played for chocolates, at least whatever chocolates people didn't eat! :)
I have deuced luck searching for threads correctly - I apologize to the moderators if they have to do patchwork.
I need to buy new menorahs for next year; this is my last Chanukah at home. I want one...
Happy Chanukah, yuhz guys! I didn't see a thread. If there is one, I apologize and blame the fried food.
How's the holiday treating you? I got some lovely things. I hope everyone got some fried goodies, too.
My mom teases me about being girlier and more old-fashioned than she, and cracks about "little housewives in cardigans and pearls" but she's not mean and she bought me a bunch of darling cardigans and sweaters for the holidays! Really carefully chosen, too, I could tell. It's not her style but...
What about a new short 'do that's flexible enough to go vintage? Something Audrey-ish? Elizabeth Taylor-ish? Or very short and '20s?
There's no reason to make it same ol' vs. modern. Do something different and also vintage!
Average pop. was thinner and the underwear sturdier so bumps weren't on display as often.
I don't know if its correct as in if anyone did it but I was eyeing wool cable tights at the store and I wonder how they would look under a knitted dress this winter. Tights actually help significantly...
My ears are burning - I've got a bedroom set from my great-great-aunt, one of those French Provincial ones in cream (well mine is more of a greenish ecru) with gold trim - a big long dresser, an equally long massive mirror, two nightstands, and a tall bureau. I don't want to hurt any of them...
I never have a dog sleeping in my laundry! Never! Isn't the done thing at all!
Mocha sleeps in people's beds. :)
Its the cats who get their hair on everything. Especially the black-and-white cat, who has 50% clash with everything. The beige cat's hair is so neutral and so thin (my cat is...
I bought a tube of Revlon's matte Really Red, and its a bit lighter/brighter than I was expecting but I like it, I think. I JUST wore it for the first time today so I still have to decide. It was on sale so I grabbed it.
I remember that thread and I still love those curtains. It's making me rethink pattern possibilities for my kitchen next year. That's just such a cheery floral, not too dark or heavy.
Honestly, I find this board a wealth of men who care just as much about what they wear and how their hair looks. I do not find that effeminate and I'm sure many of them could clean the clocks of those who deride it as such.
So yeah I like style and so on but I don't think that effects how...
Many men, especially men of his age, have a look. A look they wear essentially every day. One look for at work, one look for at home. Often a range of shirts in one particular style and perhaps as many as FOUR THRILLING COLOURS. lol
Charles comes across as a man who has his look and is fond...
What's "acting like a man" in a foxhole? Presumably you're being shot at, you're perhaps shooting back, and you're trying to keep all your blood and internal organs on the inside. I don't think behavior varies that much? Unless you go into labour or something.
What would be acting like a man...
