    "Vintage Style Toaster"

    Don't live in a modern house, do have three indoor-only cats, toaster is unmolested. The dog, on the other hand, is absolutely useless in that (and every other) regard, but we love her anyway. lol

    Grooming: From Low Maintenance to High Maintenance

    AAAH! I thought I just broke it! :eek: :( I've had a lot of trauma to that foot over the last year (stress fracture, diagnosed with arthritis, etc.) so I thought it was maybe just a protest in general at the amount of walking I've started doing now that it's healed - I'm doing 4 miles a day...

    What is your eye color?

    Mine are green with no brown but sometimes shades of gold. My brother lovingly calls that my "Reptilian look." Other times they're a grayer green, but they're not what I would call gray. My sister has beautiful gray-blue eyes the colour of slate.

    Grooming: From Low Maintenance to High Maintenance

    I can't paint my toenails. Even leaving aside the way I seem to have recently done something completely horrid to my big toe, on my left foot, where its broken away at the base and attached to one side and not the other - which is new, and weird, and saddening - my baby toenails on both sides...

    Grooming: From Low Maintenance to High Maintenance

    Well I cheat and only do the vintage stuff that's easy for me. I don't do '20s eyebrows because I couldn't possibly keep up with it, I do '40s brows because that's what my brows want to do. My hair is naturally coarse and somewhat wavy and I often just side-part it and leave some curl/wave...

    Our own vintage town

    Good golly, Miss Dolly, I need a town eye-doctor now! To think I had innocently been pondering either Color Scheme A: Graham Thomas, Sunsprite, Summer Song, Vavoom, Cary Grant (<--he's orange, isn't he?), St. Patrick, and Oranges and Lemons, or Colour Scheme B: Zepherine Drouhin...

    Men wearing make-up

    I like makeup on men sometimes. Its a certain look though and certainly not every man can carry it off. Not speaking to concealer there: presumably I have no idea if you're wearing it unless you're doing something wrong. As far it goes, I'd rather the average Joe be more invested in trimming...

    favorite cars of the golden era

    Good to know, but at that price point... I think I'll take the El Camino, no offense.

    "Vintage Style Toaster"

    Do vintage American appliances even work on Australian electrical systems? Hmm. I could get a good deal on appliances here to take over there. But a lot of people are nervous about vintage electrical appliances in ways they are not about, say, metal cookware, and I can't say I blame them. The...

    1920s cottage redecorated on budget

    Haha, touche, hoist on my own petard: I love yucca and prickly pear and since it grows here even in our wet Eastern clay, I will not forsake it.

    ...What's sad?

    1920s cottage redecorated on budget

    I think Pennsylvania has less leeway on nautical than anywhere in Maine does. Also no particular easy way to use the Western doodads I like too. But the sea chest sounds cute and I look forward to the picture. For all my stuff about vernacular local style, I'm moving overseas and probably...

    Public Enemies

    How were the actresses in this? I mean I know it's a Depp-and-Bale movie but how did the females do? And how did they look?

    1920s cottage redecorated on budget

    Depends on what you mean by nautical. Scale models are rather different than lighthouse wallpaper patterns, to my eye. And there's a lot of variation in themed "nautical" rooms and some are quite nice and others only look okay inland to me if you're running a seafood shanty. It's the...

    D'aww. The neighborhood heartbreaker! I'll warn the girls' at the Ladies' Auxilary! ;)

    Stupid question about gunbelts :-)

    Forgive me if I'm having a complete brain-shortout but isn't the Indy belt an olive green web belt rather than leather? What decade was which popular? I'd be interested to know what decades had which favoured styles as far as material and width and things like conchos, smooth vs. braided...

    favorite cars of the golden era

    I always had a soft-spot for those old-style funeral flower cars? The ones that look sort of like El Caminos? Come to think of it.... Were they actually El Caminos?

    classic styled cars

    Not a car, but I dearly want a Vespa, and new Vespas still have very classic styling.

    J. Power's Flowers sounds pretty good to me. Sign me up for seven rosebushes, okay? My front yard needs some beautifyin'!
