    I'm a teeny bit miffed....

    Oh right, with you now. I thought you meant it the other way around. And no, you're certainly not unique. Although it was nothing to do with my career, when I got married, my family had a fit because the way they saw it, I was marrying beneath me. As it turned out, they were right but not for...

    I'm a teeny bit miffed....

    Oh, I absolutely agree with the whole allure and mystique thing, MG and I wasn't implying that you personally were referring just to women - more a case of the thread seeming that way. Does that make sense? I also concur with what you say about men's POV vis a vis clothing. You only have to...

    I'm a teeny bit miffed....

    Interesting to note that the gender referred to is female. Is this because we are all women here, or is there some subconscious notion that it is somehow more damaging/wrong/shocking/whatever, for a woman to pose nude (for whatever reason)? Personally speaking, I'd rather see a naked woman than...

    I assume nothing to do with the artist?

    I have one with boned cups too but it's not that pointy. I reckon it's me, y'know - I'm just an odd shape! lol

    Bullet bras and 50's dresses?

    I think Orchard Corsets on Ebay probably do them, plus Girdlezone might have a few. WKD no longer sells the Lady Marlene range. Rago is a particular favourite of mine for shapewear but I've not tried any of their merry widows or bustiers.

    Hepburn Gown Under The Hammer

    I can see why they'd want it back. If it becomes a museum piece, I'd be happier than if it went to a private collector that hogged it all to themself. Not that it's any of my business of course! I wonder how long it will be until we find out?

    picked up this set of vintage silver forks with markings

    As in the owner's initials? Could be.

    Attempt At Moderne Design

    "Well Hello Joe, whaddya know I just got back from a Vaudeville show D-oo you sing and dance? I-'ll take a chance..." Not even close is it? [huh] lol Charlie, such absolutely amazing work. I am so impressed. How long have you been working on this? It's brilliant! :D

    PT, that's fab! And don't worry, nobody else will think your hips look large - all they'll see is a beautifully curved figure. And hey, if it was good enough for Barbie....;) Are the cups particularly pointy? I can't quite see from the photo. All the 50s bustiers I have are quite rounded in...

    Vintage 1945 lipstick ad...with lipstick!

    Oh my goodness, that is amazing. It looks almost perfect too. Thank you so much for sharing this with us, AG and please thank your lady too. :)

    Hepburn Gown Under The Hammer

    What a lovely post Daisy. :) I hadn't thought of it in terms of bricks and mortar but yes, you're right and it seems mad, doesn't it? That gown cost roughly twice what my house did! I had to grin at your comment about having to write a cheque - it's happened to me too; I thought I was the...

    Who is your favorite Bond?

    :offtopic: Spiffing old chap, quite spiffing. Unusually warm for the time of year and not a pea souper in sight! Normal service may now be resumed! ;)

    I'm an Uncle!!!!

    Oohh congratulations, Matt. So the question now is, when do you buy him his first spy kit and super soaker? Heheh! Happy belated birthday to Spitfire too. :D

    I'm a teeny bit miffed....

    I can understand that in a way but it is possible to keep the two separate. When I was teaching, I spoke to my board of governors and my Head to get their opinion on my modelling (I was part time teaching, part time modelling) - not one of them voiced any objections but merely said that as long...

    Bullet bras and 50's dresses?

    I really wouldn't recommend the Lady Marlene bras. They may be styled similarly but they aren't built in the same way. :(

    I'm a teeny bit miffed....

    How on earth can employers fire someone for doing something in their leisure time that (presumably) has nothing to do with their job? How odd. And yes, I agree that if you do something daring or out of the ordinary, a certain amount of flak might be expected but my point was that the...

    LOL! My grandad used to insist his slippers went into the oven 15 minutes before he was due home from work, so they'd be nice and warm for him! lol

    Bullet bras and 50's dresses?

    I cannot see those words without thinking of a song by Voltaire; "He's fully functional and anatomically correct" (The Sexy Data Tango!) lol lol lol
