    Secret Passageways

    Heh, yeah, I like it because it's not like I'll ever be not in need of bookshelves anyway. I don't think I'm breaking any new ground on THIS board when I say between the books and the tchotchkes I love, I can always use display shelves. :) When I was six, I read a Bobbsey Twins mystery where...

    Baby Names? Vintage?

    My grandparents were Harvey Paul + Ruth Lois (known as Ruthie) and Harold (known as Whitey) and Irene (known as Renee) and when Irene was widowed she fell in love again some years later and married, actually, another Harold, which weirded her out some, but fate is funny. It's traditional in...

    Secret Passageways

    I'm running over a few different ideas, but I'm not gonna tell you guys which one I pick! :p I like the wall-safe picture frame...don't know how it would work for a secret passageway/emergency exit, though. http://www.hideadoor.com/ This bookcase style has merit and classic good looks...

    Baby Names? Vintage?

    My fiance and I have agree to name the first boy Liam, since he's completely enamoured of that name, but the middlename is still be argued. For girls, things are a bit hazier and while I cruelly nixed "Siobhan" we have quite a list: Rhiannon, Esther, Tegan, Penelope, Rowan, Niamh. I am rather...

    Question: Tipping in Restaurants, for Services, ??

    I always tip cash even if I'm paying on my debit card. I don't go to hotels but I eat out and I always tip 20% unless the server is actually mean - which hasn't happened in years. Bad food will make sure I don't go back, but it's not the waiter's fault. Withholding tip does not punish the chef.

    Where to find other retro singles?

    I thought the Twilight books were for the junior-high/highschool set? [huh]

    Where to find other retro singles?

    What I learned (through experience, unfortunately) is if you change yourself to be with somebody just because you want to be with somebody, and you DO get them...you're still alone. Just alone with a person around, like feeling lonely on the bus. Would not recommend it. Don't give up who you...

    Clothing color combinations

    A winter, if I understand the system right. Your ivory skin/dark strong eyecolor contrast says winter and that you can stand up to that jewel-red hair (lovely, btw) goes with that. I think. Where are the ladies who actually know what they're talking about? 'Cause it ain't me. lol

    Clothing color combinations

    Well, posting in this because I got a new job that requires office-y clothing, so I put the wisdom of you ladies into practice and it helped a lot! I got a gray pencil skirt, knee-length, in a sort of innocous knit pattern, it's not smoothly one color but it's basically a solid gray. I got a...

    What are you wearing today??

    Slim, I love how you worked with that green shirt, make a statement but so tasteful, well done, sir. Un-gaudy colour is hard to do for so many but you make it look easy.

    Khakis, Leather Jacket and Hat

    Does the bomber jacket and fedora have to be brown? Because once you change those the look can shift pretty solidly away from the perception of Indy, I think.

    Dressing a guy

    Depends on what style you like and what you sort of want for stepping out with, too, if you're the driving force here, no disrespect to him. I mean if you're into '20s there's no point in getting him '50s stuff unless HE really likes it and it doesn't sound like he's more than just easy-going...

    Cloth Diapers?

    Don't have kids and reserve the right to change my mind, but looking at cloth diapers. Also, I've heard plastic baby bottles are now being considered to have a lot more chemical issues than glass? I'm hoping to feed, ahem, au natural, but I'm considering a couple glass bottles for those times...

    How about that vintage western look

    I loved the line in the John Wayne movie True Grit, where the girl meets the character Glen Campell was playing. Glen Campbell hadn't TOUCHED his hair or anything for the role so you can imagine what it looked like... but they addressed the anachronism, the girl said, "I was unaware in Texas...

    When did belts replace braces?

    A quiet sense of personal satisfaction, presumably the same as silk underwear? lol

    How about that vintage western look

    ...you mean "except for Robert Redford and Paul Newman," don't you, Sean? :) Or I might be biased. I was a 16 year old girl the first time I saw ol' Butch and the Sundance Kid.

    When did belts replace braces?

    I don't know about etiquette of it but you gotta show the bracers if you're doing the PI/reporter bracers with long-sleeved shirt with the sleeves rolled to the elbow look! Shoulder-holster optional. ;) Also pretty nice with any sort of western/adventurer look. See The Mummy and Firefly...

    It's my face - isn't it?

    I get complaints about the thickness of my hair from stylists, too. "You sure do have a LOT of hair..." *grump grump grump* "Well I'll thin it out with layers and then we'll see...." etc. It got hacked, I mean BUTCHERED to pieces last February by a military haircut (Couldn't cut a straight...

    Elle's No Makeup Issue

    I love how you make that bold print work. I still haven't figured out how to wear big prints instead of having them wear me, but you look great. I like the bob hairdo, too.
