    Lovely color photos of Dublin in 1961

    Go for it! :eusa_clap I used to cycle to and from college (Trinity - you can see the entrance of Trinity in the last 2 pictures). It hasn't changed at all. It is great when you can cycle for a purpose, to get to a destination, rather than just for exercise.

    Lovely color photos of Dublin in 1961

    That sounds great. Yes, I remember hearing they used to do that: take your picture on O'Connell Street, at dance halls etc.

    Thanks. Looks like that. There were American cars over here at that time, usually embassy cars, some governmental cars, taxis etc.

    Leap Year movie - you can see me in it with my Borsalino

    Well, fellow Loungers, I have some existing news for you. I managed to get some screentime for my own Borsalino. :eek: I was an extra in "Leap Year" a movie out now with Amy Adams and Adam Scott. And I wore this hat: I saw the scene in the movie and you can clearly see a man with a...

    Yes, I've been there, and shared your pain! A tip is to control+C your post periodically if it's a long one so you don't loose it. That's gotten me out of a few scrapes before.

    I don't think anyone could begrudge Marc having the last word on any vintage topic. lol Now he's someone that I learn from, and is gracious enough to share his vast knowledge of the Golden Era.

    :eusa_clap That's why I miss the good old days on the Lounge. Every thread seems to have the same usernames popping up as the latest post. I didn't join up to argue, but to learn and contribute. ;)

    ;) Maybe this sums it up: You said earlier: My take? Yes, a fade will have whitewalls. So will a low-reg, mid-reg, hi-reg etc. Oh, and in case I left anyone out Jimmy Cagney has whitewalls here too:

    Carlisle, I don't disagree with anything you say in the above points. But earlier when I explained why whitewalls were called whitewalls (=because of the tires) you said this: My understanding of your comment is that you believe that "fade" is a different type of haircut to a...

    Really? So how do you explain the picture of the Nazi officer with whitewalls? The term is am apt nickname, the style has been around for 100 years. Oh, and just to clarify: doing whitewalls correctly requires a great deal of skill and restraint to get a good blend (dare I say "fade" lol)...

    Hair cuts

    CB - In your earlier post above you show a modern picture of a "fade". Even though it's a fade it incorporates whitewalls on the side. You don't go to a (military) barber and ask for a "whitewall", you ask for a hi-reg, low-reg etc. The style is the "-reg" not the whitewall. The whitewall is not...

    Hair cuts

    To clarify CB: no, there is no "either/or" scenario with a fade vs. whitewalls. Specifically, white walls refer to the fact that you can see the skin hence the term white walls. Whitewalls does not refer to whether or not the top is faded in or whether there is a "drastic differentiation"...

    Here are some pictures of a customer that I know taken yesterday at the Waldorf Barbershop This is a real "D.A." :D

    It's called "whitewalls" after car tires that have white walls:
