    A small step backwards on the buses

    We have pull strings and the button things here in Philadelphia. Also, "Yo, man, back door! Open the back doooooooor!"

    Whatever happened to "coat and tie required"?

    I always find it hilarious when parents combine the believing their child is the most brilliant thing ever with believing he can't possibly UNDERSTAND at his age and its so cruel to expect him to. I see a lot of people who yammer on about how gifted their kid is but then say "but you can't...

    Bad Table Manners

    My mother went the other way with my younger siblings and I: our manners had to be a lot nicer than the McDonald's we were at actually required, but she figured we couldn't go to anyplace other than McDonald's until we learned and how would we learn if we didn't practice? I think that way...

    Help with Houndstooth?

    Soft gray might be kinder than blue, and possibly some stone/khaki neutrals might work as well. That's barely more exciting than off-white, I know, but that kind of pattern doesn't need a lot of competition. A toast colour could be warm without being too much.

    Help with Houndstooth?

    Gray or black trousers, solid tie in black or red, works with your black shoes. I'd be leery of striped ties, honestly, but seeing is believing, so post pics if you find a look you like. I liked the pic with the herringbone cap. Very good-looking, sir, I must say.

    Bad Table Manners

    Exactly, Shangas! Good one. Me, though, my steak is always as red as the end of a lit cigarette, and if you listen closely you can still hear plaintive moos. ;) My guy complains about my affection for "raw meat" but whatever.

    Bad Table Manners

    It depends on what you mean by bad. Completely correct holding of forks is a different tier, to me, than not talking with food in your mouth or chewing with your mouth open. I also really resent people who comment on other people's food. If you didn't order something I did, and you don't...

    And that baby looked so honest. :( ;)

    Remix Shoes!!

    Then I'll give her more leeway for not having red shoes? Goodness knows I don't have all the shoes I would have if I had Dita's money and ability to declare them business expenses. I should decide who's twin sister I want to be. lol

    Remix Shoes!!

    Heh, yeah, I think the shoes might work better with a different look. There they just kind of look washed out. I understand wanting soles like that for on grass, though. Much easier than stilettos. It's mostly the colour I don't think works with the dress.

    How about that vintage western look

    I think girls in my area can get away with a bit more than guys can as far as "all at once." Boots, skirt/jeans and piped shirt could just look cute on a girl but a guy would definitely hear about it. I think jeans + one more Western element is as far as a guy can go, here, simultaneously...

    Where did your user name come from??

    I don't remember if I posted in this thread, but if I did it was years ago. The name comes from being one of my favorite flowers AND a girls' name of the Golden Era that you don't hear anymore. My own name doesn't really have a vintage feel, though my nickname does sort of. If I was picking a...

    Remix Shoes!!

    I think a pink-red pair of shoes would have looked cuter with that dress, honestly. Or red shoe clips on cream shoes. For what those shoes she's wearing cost... I don't know. I'm not as in love with the look as I usually am with Dita.

    Walking Sticks & Canes.

    I had a hawthorn in my backyard that has since gone to the Great Compost Bin In The Sky, and that thing was so thorny I can't imagine working with it. Hazel should grow here, though. What I have access to the most of is probably locust. It's thin and straight and not too heavy. I don't know...

    Vintage/Retro Upholstery

    The round hatboxes that really shut and have handles and are more real luggage than just pretty cardboard stacking boxes would be pretty sweet. I could get pics of what I mean. The sort that looks good on top of a pile of vintage suitcases.

    Where to find other retro singles?

    Just a slight aside, there, AtomicEraTom, but there's a big difference between a history of cheating and just, you know, having a slight before-they-dated you history. I mean, all things in moderation, but... yeah I don't know where I'm going with this I'll be quiet now.

    How to get Carole Lombard Hair?

    What sort of cut do you get to do that, anyway? Is that one of the U-outline ones?
