    Movies with brim snapping and crown bashing and denting?

    This may not be exactly what you want, but "Nancy Drew, Reporter" with Bonita Granville has a scene where she grabs Ted Nickerson's new hat, crumples it up in her hands, basically beats it up, then shakes it out and puts it on his head. lol

    Favorite Christmas movies

    Well, I'd read it *years* before seeing the film, and wasn't expecting it to be greatly like the book. :) I just wasn't impressed by the movie! I'll take that as a recommendation then! :) Perhaps I'll watch it this year...

    Do you eat vintage?

    Me too! *waves hand* But to be really vintage, I guess we'd have to use those long-handled popcorn poppers.

    Do you eat vintage?

    lol Vegetables + Jello sounds horrible! But I enjoy Jello when it's made from plain gelatin and fruit juice (aka Not Real Jello). Adding pineapple and whipped cream when the base is real pineapple/citrus juice is *much* better. :)

    Do you eat vintage?

    I do my best to avoid nibbling on anything I own that's vintage. :p I don't consciously try to eat "vintage"; I like all the different foods we have today. Lots of things I like probably would've been "exotic" and expensive back in the Golden Era!

    Unsure where but you'll see why...

    Thanks. Neat little list. :) I like it when there's something actually interesting in an inflight magazine! Me being me, of course, now I've got to take issue with it. ;) See, they've dropped Erle Stanley Gardner (who I've been reading a lot of recently) into the "Classic Sleuths"...

    Lasting Quality?

    I third the Revereware recommendation - my mom has some, and it's lasted forever. There's another factor, which I've been thinking about lately: the gap between "cheap" (aka poor quality, non-durable) and "quality" (long-lasting, sturdy, repairable or maintainable) products. Is it just me...

    Favorite Christmas movies

    lol lol Actually, I'm with dahliaoleander - I wasn't terribly interested in seeing it, after watching a few minutes' worth years ago. In my defense, I think some movies have to be seen as children to continue to appreciate them into adulthood. Case in point: The Wizard of Oz - always heard...

    Please help me find this book!

    You're not hallucinating. I'm pretty sure I read about them too. Unfortunately I can't remember the name. :eusa_doh:

    Circa 1929 Mario Fortuny Delphos Pleated Gown at auction

    I did a brief report for one of my classes on Mariano Fortuny. There were, in fact, imitators of his clothing at the time. Though I don't recall reading about any out-and-out fakes, "knockoffs" abounded. However, I understand that his methods were kept quite secret and that no copies could...

    Show us your vintage patterns!

    Deep blue sounds pretty! I want to make mine in either black or a dark jewel-toned color. I just cut out a muslin for the bodice today!

    Sewing Lessons & FAQ

    Maybe this belonged in my other post in the Sewing FAQ, but oh well. :) You *can* put in invisible zippers without an invisible zipper foot. I found this out the hard way after the Coats & Clark zipper foot would not work with my machine. :rage: You just have to press the zipper out really...

    Sewing Lessons & FAQ

    Here's my hint for invisible zippers (I hate regular zippers), suggested to me by someone else when I had trouble. It worked like a charm. It's probably non-period, but hey, if it saves me some agony, I'm all for it! Interace the zipper area. I use fusible tricot interfacing. All you need...

    Happy New Year 1931 again!

    How fun! Thanks for sharing the site. It would be neat to hang up a (repro, of course) 1931 or 1942 calendar. I think I'll be trawling the Internet for some possibilities.

    Show Us Your Purchases!

    Ooh! Those are gorgeous. *total jealousy* (I love the fact that your real vintage PJ's are pink, and the pattern is green. :) You could make up a pair in every color!) Sunny, I'm also extremely jealous of your new coat wardrobe. :)

    Matchy-matchy?

    Well, since you asked...THIS is too far. I like the idea of subtle coordination, though, for a special date or something. Matching accent colors, for instance.

    What Are You Reading

    Two stories into Honest Money, by Erle Stanley Gardner - a collection of short stories published in Black Mask from 1932-1933. So far they're pretty mediocre, but it's interesting to read some of Gardner's early magazine work, which he wrote a lot of before even dreaming up Perry Mason.
