    Vintage-Inspired clothing lines

    I've just ordered my second pair of Heyday trousers in navy - they do fit beautifully. At my ballroom studio there are 2 of us who are aficionados of the vintage look, and we both wear those trousers. What is interesting is that she has a very 20's build, a tall drink of water, straight up and...

    Inappropriate-ness

    I have an acquaintance who regaled us with the tale of how she was generously offered a seat (more than once) on the train for this reason. Only she wasn't pregnant. Just too many Chicken Cottage meals. She was tickled pink about it. I guess that's what public transport in London does to you...

    Spontaneity

    I'll be another spoilsport...I need to have maximum tidiness and preparedness and notice or I feel very uncomfortable having people in my home. We have 3 dogs as well, and one of them was abused so is people-phobic. I want this home to be his sanctuary as much as possible. (And mine - I work...

    Autumnal Thoughts........

    That is such a coincidence - I made sweet potato pie for the first time ever yesterday. It was a vegan recipe from Russell Simmons, and whilst I'm not a fan of the music or the clothes, boy oh boy, that pie was demolished by 2 people in less than 24 hours! I will definitely be making that one...

    shopping rant

    lol I remember when non-virtual shopping used to be a treat. These days, I'll avoid it like the plague, especially on a weekend when the malls look like the set of Dawn of the Dead. Around here it's all high street chains, with the same old cheaply made, poorly fitting stuff, terrible service...

    Best repro/retro patterns for vintage styles

    I would be on the bread line if I bought every New Vintage Lady pattern on my wish list! I am always amazed at the quantity of consistently great patterns she puts up for sale. :eusa_clap

    vintage or vintage inspired skirt/dress pear person

    I'd echo the above, and add a cropped cardigan to that list, one that falls right at the natural waist. That and an A-line is practically a uniform for me! If you have a peek at the high-waisted trousers thread, well, it seems to work for some of us fuller-hipped gals and not for others. I'm...

    Vintage desktops/wallpapers on your computer?

    Absolutely! Mine is of Nick and Nora Charles, with Asta in the middle! Before that, Edward G. and George E. Stone in Little Caesar.

    Night Owls only

    A-oooooo, Werewolves of London! It's 2 a.m., I'm wide awake, and as I have a day off tomorrow and nothing planned, I reckon I'll be howling 'til dawn gets a foothold. I love the wee hours...

    Mascara on upper lashes only?

    Definitely a top lashes only gal, and usually only for evening as they are dark, thick and long naturally. If I do both, it's hello Sally Bowles. Not me.

    Music videos displaying vintage fashion

    How about Kate Bush's Hounds of Love? Besides, she was never afraid of the red lippy - wow!

    Things that go bump in the night....

    I have one recommendation - the horror oeuvres of Hugh Walpole. Any fanciers of Gothic horror should find him of interest...

    Are there any universally liked actors/actresses?

    Um, Scott Bakula played Sam, and Dean Stockwell actually played Al...:rolleyes: One of my top 10 TV shows... I may revise this post, as I've not had a chance to read all the way through, but has Doris Day gotten a mention yet?

    Gentlemen prefer...

    This is something I never would "maybe" about, either. I'll pipe up as the third in this thread so far who has a desire to remain without human children...is it something about Londoners? lol

    Things that go bump in the night....

    I've never come across this one so thank you so much for the heads up. I love the genre in films as well of course, my favourite being, well, The Old Dark House.

    Newspaper/Journalism Films

    I'm fond if this sub-genre myself, and Five Star Final is in my top 3. I remember being fairly shocked when I saw the ending of this one - in a good way! I also remember thinking how modern it seemed. Can I add The Front Page to the list? Mile a minute dialogue. Wonderful.

    Haggis

    I'll have to mirror this sentiment - I can't even pick up the vegetarian haggis in the health food store... I've been a vegetarian for decades, but can usually manage to "abstract" when I see others eating meat as I am fascinated by food in general; offal, however, I just could never get my...
