end of the month food
Don't mean to sass but what on earth do you put in YOUR pancakes? When I said "no milk or eggs," I didn't mean "but with steak." lol I eat rice and pasta all the time I don't think of that as desperation more like a staple. Don't eat spam. I hear they have a turkey spam now but I'm just...- Viola

High School Homecoming/Mums!
I've never heard of this. Maybe a Southern thing? I think a lot of girls here wouldn't like it. Streamers? Can't picture it. Is it a corsage?- Viola

The good boots
I think I would go for a waterproofed cordovan leather eight-eye boot with no obviously modern bits of Gore-Tex or whatever on them and preferably a classic sole. I would be comfortable wearing these with either a high-waisted slacks or a long skirt, though I don't much care for eight-eye...- Viola

end of the month food
Pancakes with no eggs and no milk. Sad things. Lived up to the promised flatness, though. I called them Povertycakes, mom was not amused. Mashed potatoes made from flakes with no milk. When we were kids my mom was perpetually cutting the bad bits off of fruit, vegetables, or bread and...- Viola

Who Would You Have Liked to See in the Role?
Shirley Temple as Dorothy in Wizard of Oz. Would have made the whole role a good bit less creepy. As a very little girl I was always confused as to why that grown lady was acting like a kindergartener. And, I know this is borderline heresy to some, but it was the Addams Family movies...- Viola

A thread for the Petite Vintage Lady
I'm reading other people's posts and now I'm confused: am I petite? I thought so. I am a modern size 4 and five-foot-not-a-dang-thing, but my shoulders are somewhat broad and I'm fairly chesty at 36C. I am not nor ever have been WAIFISH the way so many slim lovelies seem to be here. :p I...- Viola

Gardens vegetable, flower or other?
Quince are for jelly. And, I hear, wine/cider, but you didn't hear that from me. Actually I just love quince trees for their flowers, but still, in apple jelly it works a treat and they have enough pectin in them supposedly they make even non-cooperative fruits do the jelly thing.- Viola

I had Diet Coke with vanilla vodka, surprisingly good and sort of autumn-baked-good tasting.- Viola

Vintage Home Appliances Money Out The Window?
Another thing to consider with appliances is the modern push for "commercial grade" for higher-end appliances - when so many of the people who can afford the nicest appliances don't cook at home for every meal, and their families are generally fairly small. A small vintage stove with four...- Viola

The "Annoying Phrase" Thread
Generally true but one of my friends saying, as she does, "goin' to church to get my pray on," is in fact adorable, sorry. I can't help it!- Viola

Carnation in lapel?
Get some white ones and put them in green food colouring, it should work okay. I'm rather fond of some naturally green flowers, I must admit that.- Viola

Slightly Sinister Children of the Golden Era
Well, there's trayf that's TEMPTING! (Shrimp is a test, I tells ya!) Not that pictured...uh.... delicacy... though. That and all I could think of was the catchphrase of Hebrew National hotdogs, you know, their old We Answer To A Higher Authority slogan. I guess they wouldn't want to have to...- Viola

Nutrition and exercise!
Kettleballs, if you excuse me for intejecting, are those small freeweights that aren't shaped like dumbbells, they're shaped like, well, cast-iron balls with loop handles on them. You can't use them two handed which means you can't really favour one arm over the other the way you can with big... -

Cardigans, cardigans, cardigans!
Heh, well, I've used those to layer under cardigans if its only a bit of color pop and coverage at the neckline but you can't really take the cardigan OFF at work that way, no.- Viola

Suits for the Short of Stature.
To me, from now on, he shall always be both of these things, I hope you don't mind. :) As a very short person (at five foot even I look up to all the short people posting in this thread thus far) I would say double breasted would vary depending on whether you are short and thin or short and... -
Cardigans, cardigans, cardigans!
Well it depends what you mean by a tank, I guess. There's a lot of sleeveless blouses of varying levels of coverage and dressiness. :eek:- Viola

Tyra Banks Channels Josephine Baker
I don't think she's unintelligent. I think there's a point of diminishing returns for her being seen as intellectual. I'm thinking of Marilyn Monroe and so many others here; not dumb women, marketable women. As far as "angular" goes, she took mad crap about her quote-unquote fatness of her...- Viola
