    Theme song

    Almost anything by the great Fats puts a smile on my face! I think the tune that comes to me unbidden the most often is "Tuxedo Junction". Maybe it's because I've heard so many great versions of it.

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    That's funny, I'm always itching to pull 'em down...and RUN like a demon! (Pants on the ground...) :D

    OK, THIS fedora/baseball cap is a travesty of justice…

    I just thought they were seconds as the back of the fedora seems to be missing :rolleyes: . Joking aside, even though it does look like the aforementioned Afrika Korps headgear, it was neat to see the way they were made.

    do you have many friends?

    I'll second that emotion. I got talked into signing up to Facebook and I never use the darn thing. It just seems like a facsimile of life to me, as if it just skims over the surface. I actually got a message on FB informing me (and the world at large, so it seems) of a death in the...

    Are these factory seconds?

    Do you go Commando?

    I'd shower in bra and knickers if I could! Well, maybe not, but the thought of going out in public with no underclothing is not something that I could imagine. I mean, what if I got run over or something?!! :eek: Commando, hell no! I've never heard the one about it being unhealthy not, ahem...

    Sellers Guide for Dress Hats on Ebay

    Call me sad, but I actually have a War and Peace length set of terms to be excluded in advanced search, several of them because they are complete time-wasters (style, inspired, Topshop, '80's...) and pull up absolute crap, but also terms which irritate me for one reason or another...

    TONS of 1930s Fashion Photos

    I remembered this thread and thought this might be of interest. Ms Marsha Hunt is scheduled to be a guest at the 5th Annual Mid-Atlantic Nostalgia Convention in Maryland. The convention looks like fun; wish I weren't stuck here! It runs the 23-25th of September. A tad late I know, but I just...

    Unpopular movie opinions...

    That was such a beautiful, quiet little film - I love love love it! I've not seen the American "re-imagining" (quiet guffaw), and don't usually slam something outright unless I've seen it, but past experience with American remakes of perfectly good foreign films tells me it's probably something...

    Favorite scary Radio Show

    Not a scary series per se, there was one episode of a show called Origin of Superstition, called The Boogie Man, which scared the living crap out of me. I love my spooky OTR stories; I fall asleep to them every night!

    Unpopular movie opinions...

    This may be another thread entirely, but now that you mention it, I really don't get the Marx Brothers, either. But here's the rub: it only applies when they are together. If I see them individually, particularly when they play an instrument, I've been known to sit there with a look of...

    Unpopular movie opinions...

    Me three - 2001 - yawn. I don't really get the Godfather trilogy, either. Star Wars, Forrest Gump, E.T., nah. I have a really really hard time with 1) Nouvelle Vague films, 2) almost any musical where they break into song and dance anywhere but on the stage - read most 50's musicals 3)...

    Long sleeved 50s dresses...

    I actually have a couple of patterns incredibly similar to the last one, and am only waiting to find "that special fabric" to make it up - something that will take some wear and tear and be breathable for ballroom classes but still have a lovely drape and swinginess...but that's for another...

    Long Island Iced Tea

    Had dinner last week at a restaurant, the Blue Elephant, which serves Royal Thai cuisine, and my dinner companion ordered a Bangkok Iced Tea, which I think was made with real vanilla tea. I had a sip and it had a gorgeous deep and rich vanilla taste with just a hint of tea and whatever else...

    Long sleeved 50s dresses...

    I'm not much of a glove gal, only outside in winter. Nice idea, though. Plus I teach in gyms, so that wouldn't work in that context (although it would be funny to try!).

    Long sleeved 50s dresses...

    On the other hand it has without a doubt saved me a lot of money...I'll see that gorgeous blouse/sweater/top/dress across the shop floor, fall in love, and then when I go to pick it up and compare the sleeve length to my arm, well...[huh] So often I think, is there any way of sewing something...

    Your Favorite Cooking Shows.

    My curiosity was piqued I must admit. The story has reached, ahem, Wikipedia...Innocent 'til proven guilty [huh] .

    Long sleeved 50s dresses...

    I may be the cheese standing alone, for I can't bear 3/4 sleeves! They drive me batty! I've got a few of them and I'm always trying to pull them down. I'm always on the lookout for long-sleeved 40's dresses in cotton or linen or something that doesn't require dry-cleaning and it's like snipe...

    Vintage Manicures

    Oh crikey, I assumed it was in London, somewhere - I had to look up WD3 'cause I had no idea where that was! :)

    Hence the moniker Shantytramp....? [huh]
