    The "Annoying Phrase" Thread

    :eusa_clap As an American Expat in the UK, prezzies is one of those British truncations which makes every cell in my body pucker up with disgust. But wait...there's even better! Choccies for chocolate, hols for holidays and the one which makes me bite my tongue 'til it bleeds, for pudding -...

    Dancers - where do they get their suits?

    lol Guess what? Me too, I "never forget"! But I keep plugging away (or plodding away), anyhow... We're practically neighbours - maybe I'll see you at the Londoners meet-up!

    Dancers - where do they get their suits?

    Completely off topic, sorry, but I'm guessing you might be familiar with the Wimbledon Dance Academy...?

    Colorizing Old Movies

    It's funny that you should mention Frankenstein as a candidate for colourisation, for it brings to mind a home movie in colour of Boris Karloff in full costume, mugging for the camera, in-between takes I suppose. Point being, the garish green of the make-up did nothing whatsoever to enhance the...

    Colorizing Old Movies

    I could not agree more. After all, a body wouldn't go around changing the colour palette of a painting in a museum, so why colourise a b&w film except under those circumstances that LizzieMaine mentions above? I think there's an assumption that b&w is a technical limitation or a poor...

    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10001_10001_038010230078_-1 I'm currently drooling over the above... (Well, unfortunately couldn't get that to link properly...working on it!)

    Vintage Sleepwear

    Have you tried La Senza, Miss Golightly? I've definitely scored some very vintage-y sleepwear there and I've seen very similar to Miss Tautou's there!

    Vintage Desecration - Things Altered/Repurposed, and a Vintage Treasure Lost Forever.

    Also in complete agreement. The more prominent the logo, the less likely I am to buy. It just screams tacky, and conspicuous consumption. If an item is a quality one, it should speak for itself. Don't even get me started on football kit...:eek:

    Pajama Jeans?!

    I'm definitely going to be one of those crazy, cranky old people leaving it all to, not the cat, but the dogs! After all, they must be kept in the manner to which they have grown accustomed...

    Period cloting attitudes, period.

    two thumbs up I have a black jumper which is almost exactly your pattern, and it's one of my standard dance "uniforms" because it is so versatile. I am in that middle age category, and I find it incredibly flattering to the figure. I'm not a great fan of flashing flesh, rather defining the...

    Pajama Jeans?!

    Why no, it can all be virtual, like in Soylent Green. Cheap and cheerful!

    Bristle Brushes

    Funnily enough, the plastic-bristled paddle brush has improved my hair a lot! I have rather thick hair, and used a detangling comb on it for decades, with the end result of loads of breakage and ripping hair out from the roots from all of the knotting after a wash. It would take me about 15...

    Bristle Brushes

    Ooh, me too! I just purchased a bristle brush after hearing so many good things about them, and found myself looking like Gene Wilder (Jean Wilder?!) on a bad day! My hair seems to prefer the old plastic bristle paddle brush...[huh]

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    Same here! I'm very wide across the balls of the feet from lots of yoga and all of the spreading of the toes/balls of feet that comes with that, but even so, many shoes that I look at I just think, "But the shape of the human foot is nothing like that!" Also, I see so many postural issues in...

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    I posted a reference to them in this thread, I believe. I still love them but have read not such good things about them regarding their comfort...
