    How to make new clothes look dirty? Help?

    Give them to a street hood to wear for a few days. Only problem will be trying to get them back...;)

    so disappointed...

    Apparently her only memory of him was when he was wearing glasses.

    so disappointed...

    You can read about it here, and other off-beat places in and around Seattle. I don't agree with the articles contention that the "artistry" of the statue outweighs the monster Lenin, but that's just my opinion. We're talking about Fremont, after all, who's residents refer to themselves as...

    movie hats that inspired you...

    I only read the reviews in Netflix which said the same thing as you. Add to that the fact that I can't stomach Harry Belafonte, I'll pass on it.

    so disappointed...

    That or they confuse Stalin and Lenin. Fremont, a somewhat "funky" (for lack of a better word) neighborhood in Seattle, has a statue of Lenin, imported when the Soviet Union fell. I was talking to a young girl once and she referred to the statue of "Stalin" in Fremont. When I corrected her...

    why do you do live the way you do.?

    Yeah, what he said. I only have one fedora and to be honest, I don't think it's the right style for me, so it sits on the shelf more than my head. I'm still looking though. I love vintage style, and like Magistrate I use it to dress well, that is on those rare opportunities I have to dress...

    Making my first leather jacket- the shell is done

    I'm curious as to how you learned tailoring. A formal class, self-taught, or ?

    Show us your Thrift and/or yard sale finds

    Found some vintage sheet music in a thrift store near my place today. I knew nothing about sheet music, thought it would be of interest only to musicians. I did a quick research and found out sheet music is mostly collected for the cover art. Well, hell, I can do that, so I went back and...

    The Capture of the Green River Killer

    First I had to make sure you weren't talking about this POS movie: Green River Killer. That one is a real stinker. Apparently you're asking about this one: The Capture of the Green River Killer. No, haven't seen it. But avoid the first one I mentioned. Here's my review of the 2005...

    Vintage sheet music?

    I had a little bit of time and the place wasn't far, so I went back and looked through them. Using just cover art as a criteria, I only found one that was connected to WW2, but it's just the "Buy War Bonds" logo in the lower right corner. I just went ahead and bought it, if you don't want...

    Vintage sheet music?

    Understood. I'll let you know. There's also some older stuff, I had to look up MCMIV for a copyright date, 1904.

    Vintage sheet music?

    Yes, I have a Paypal account. I won't get a chance to get back there again until tomorrow afternoon (Thursday). By WW2 theme, do you mean music that makes specific reference to the war, or just anything during the war years? I have a digital camera, I'll get pics of any that may be of...

    Vintage sheet music?

    Anybody here collect it? I stopped by a second hand store near me and the sweet little ol' lady who works there had to show me a couple stacks of old sheet music they just put out. She was old enough to probably remember much of it when she was a young girl. I don't know much about sheet...

    How has ebay changed collecting locally, in person?

    I can't really say how eBay has impacted my local thrift market because I don't have much of a "pre-eBay" experience, although I've always liked to browse local thrift stores. The vast majority of the items I purchase on eBay are nowhere to be found locally. To be specific, I collect artifacts...

    Who is your favorite "forgotten singer"?

    That would be Tony Martin. I stumbled across him while watching a Marx Bros. movie, The Big Store.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I realize that, I was speaking in general terms, i.e. it wasn't a "sanitized" version of the type of conflict. I'm trying not to get too graphic, but some of the type of actions they depicted would never make it into a film today, not even the 1992 version. The plains warfare may have been...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    The Man Who Wasn't There - Not sure how I heard about this movie, maybe it was somebody on FL. Great vintage "stuff" (clothes, cars, etc), shot in B/W, somewhat bizzare plot. Billy Bob Thornton did well in this role. He's one of the few actors that can say nearly nothing and pull it off...

    Trade Names that Became Generic

    Only in the southern US. That confused the hell out of me when I was in Louisiana for military training in the early 70s. When I went to the PX, a buddy asked me to get him a "coke". When I came back w/o it because they didn't have any "coke", he got po'd because I had a "coke" (a Nesbitt's...

    Vintage style interfere with buying modern clothes?

    I never buy "randomly" because being a typical guy, shopping bores me to tears. So I go to the store with something specific in mind and leave when I get it. But yes, I try to buy stuff that has an old-fashioned style, but they're tough to find locally. I get really appalled sometimes when I...
