    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    www.clarks.co.uk They no longer seem to be on the website, however there are a couple of cute vintage-y models on at the moment (Originals range). You could always try Ebay.

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    I own a pair of those too! I also have a pair of 50's-style wedges from them, again from their Classics range. Although I like both look and fit, I've had problems with both of their soles delaminating. (Not to mention my lurcher finding them tasty and gnawing on them :rolleyes: ) Have you had...

    Learning to Dance

    Help from experienced dancers sorely needed! I've been learning to dance for a little over a year now, mostly Ballroom/Latin, but also the odd swing/Lindy class as I would like to be able to dance to the music I love to listen to. My problem is this - and I do have a wonderful instructor who...

    Dating for Fedora Loungers?

    I think the ones hanging out on corners may not be the ones you'll be wanting to bring home to meet your ma ;) . The reason I began reading this thread, by the way, is that I'm fascinated to hear about Loungers who have/haven't vintage mates and how they feel about the situation in which they...

    Sewing Lessons & FAQ

    Thank you Lady Day, GoddessMama and SugarKitten for helping me make my mind up about modifying that pattern. As a novice, erm, maybe I'll give that a miss for now! And I don't want to be battling with Lady Day, for sure I'd lose :) ! It's just me wanting to run before I can walk, and being...

    Whats in your beauty products

    :offtopic: I'll definitely be perusing that website a bit more later. After only a few minutes browsing, I don't think I'll be buying plastic squeakies for my dogs anymore...Thank you for that one!

    Sewing Lessons & FAQ

    short sleeves into long? I have been looking for a bolero pattern, '30's/early '40's if possible, think I have finally found one in my size. However, it only has options for short sleeves. Bearing in mind that I am a novice sewer (seamstress?!), is it relatively straightforward to modify or...

    Vintage Manicures

    I use those guides all the time, but find that you really have to run a nail around the edge to stick it firmly to prevent "waney edge". For me the difficulty is more getting a uniform and aesthetic curve with them, so I kind of pull on them first to stretch them into a curve (the stick-ons...

    Venue suggestions for my birthday needed please!

    Sniff, sniff - as I missed the last two...:rage:

    Dance lessons

    I second this - I do Ballroom/Latin for about 5-8 hours a week, and unfortunately rarely during classes do you get anywhere near that "fat-burning zone". I have noticed that the gluteals and legs seem much more toned, though, and it is great for your core and posture! Warning - dancing is...

    Art Deco Bedroom

    Coincidentally, I watched The Great Ziegfeld again yesterday - toward the end of the film there's a great production number with an amazing ballerina and some even more amazingly well-trained borzois. Tens of dancers spinning and cavorting about them and they're all such professionals (although...

    One Of Us

    lol The precise reason I clicked on this thread: Gooble, gobble, gooble, gobble... And that's about where I'd like to land, when that film was made!

    Cheers for clarifying that for me, Lady Day! This thread is wonderful, there is so much to learn!

    The Vintage Fur Thread

    KittyT, I would definitely be saving my dog first, too! My 3 pups ARE my best friends, and I consider it a privilege that they have put their trust in me, given me their unconditional love, and made me their human! Sorry all you waterlogged strangers out there!

    Discontinued!

    lol For Edward G. completists only...Mr. Heston does an awful lot of scenery chewing! Puzzicato, I've loved Joy ever since I was a tot, and it really does grind my gears that they're fixing what's not been broken for 80 years. I can't figure the logic on it.

    Food you keep going back to, because it's just what you need right now

    Popcorn. Buttered. Salted. And lots of it. Either real butter or that glop that they put on in theaters. But it's got to be slathered on. Oh, and can I have some ice cold real sugar birch beer with that? I feel a movie night coming on...:essen:

    Nail Varnish Colours

    Can I play Devil's Advocate here? I'd like to suggest a compromise in that, for example, the party interested in the info do a search to the best of their abilities, and then, if there is no joy, post their query. At that point perhaps a more conversant member can suggest a thread, or that...

    Discontinued!

    As I understand it, they've reformulated due to the scent's high concentration of jasmine, and they're concerned with allergic reactions (even though it's been around for 80 years with no resultant deaths that I'm aware of). [huh] Said pure jasmine to be replaced by ersatz. Apparently other...

    The ones that got away

    I'm pretty new to sewing, and I was just wondering if you meant that mail order patterns are any less "covetable" for some reason, or whether the ones in the group are "basic", as in nothing all that special.
