    WW II vet held in Nazi slave camp breaks silence: 'Let it be known'

    A true hero, who deserves our sincerest gratitude. I, too, am amazed that he took such care to document what was happening. It shows the hope he still had - that his documentation would survive, and that someone would be there to care about it in the future. May we be found worthy of his hope.

    How Much Makeup?

    Really? I'll have to look into it - thanks! Most eyeliners end up smudging or sliding off my lid.

    Cool! More vintage costuming! :eusa_clap

    Let's See Your Vintage Inspired Office!

    Would you believe I just found the Structured Procrastination site the other day? I pounced on it - finally, someone *else* thought that way too! Thanks for the links. I gravitate towards the PHAT method myself (although I loathe that word...), with a few tweaks. If I had lots of space...

    Show us your vintage patterns!

    I love this collar! And the rather ostentatious color combination. :)

    Let's See Your Vintage Inspired Office!

    I think that if you have an opportunity for a free or reduced-price custom mahogany desk, you should go for it! Silly question! :p For my own ideal office, I like Down2BDapper's library - but as an attachment to the office. For my actual workspace, I'd like something very clean, bright...

    2,000-year-old gold earring found in Jerusalem

    Ah, yes. I saw that one. What a beautiful, yet tiny and "everyday" piece of history. And in one of my favorite color schemes. :)

    Manners - The NY Times gets it

    Meh. I understand his irritation, but truth be told, I'd probably give him the same deer-in-the-headlights look everyone else is giving him. Not because I don't try to say "sorry", but because he's just confusing. And trying to enlighten the fellow who's charging down the street about his...

    How Much Makeup?

    I don't wear eyeliner on a regular basis, but that's mainly because I haven't found the right, non-smudging, waterproof liner yet. It's only recently that I've seriously tried eyeliner, and it works *wonders* for my tiny little eyes! It *may* become one of those I'll-die-if-I-can't-wear-it...

    www.hulu.com for old films and TV shows

    Oh, yes. *bobs head enthusiastically* I LOVE Hulu. It's responsible for my not getting a lot of work done. :o And I greatly admire the way they've managed the ads. Ads are clearly necessary for a venture like this, but they're short and sweet, quality, and don't detract too much from the...

    Show Us Your Purchases!

    Fleur, that's an adorable pinafore dress! Score! :eusa_clap Sorry about the red dress, Sunny. :( The black dress is a pretty good consolation prize, though. *buttons and pintucks!*

    Tell Us What Patterns Are On Sale!

    JoAnn is having a Veterans' Day sale, too - 5 for $5 from 11/9-11/15. I think this basically means you can get one for $1. I remember buying them that way, at any rate.

    How Much Makeup?

    I don't like slathering my face with makeup. The more I wear, the more likely it is to melt or otherwise react to the elements in visible ways. :) My daily face makeup involves foundation, loose powder, blush, mascara, and lipbalm and lipstick. If I have time and if I feel I need it, I'll add...

    Dupe, yes, but thanks for the link to the complete page. I edited my post with the link so it's handy.

    Color Combo Conundrum?

    Oh, certainly! That's what I meant. The stylish-but-effortless look can take quite a bit of time. :) Especially when it comes to building a wardrobe and figuring out what works for you.

    Color Combo Conundrum?

    Exactly. You want it to look put together, but you don't want people to think you sat in your closet for 30 minutes trying to decide whether the tan, grey, black, navy, or wine coat matched best. :D

    Color Combo Conundrum?

    I see nothing wrong with a tan coat and a grey suit, even a grey hat, although the shade of the hat could be such as to work better with another coat. Color is a tricky thing. There are formulas and rules, to be certain, for achieving certain impressions. But I generally approach color in...

    Say, that red dot seems to work well! I may try this. *ponders*

    And also some sage advice for the mere mortals who have yet to achieve True Glamour: Neat article, thanks for sharing it. :) I like popping in on the Manolo's blog from time to time.
