    MEN of the LOUNGE

    Bravo Marc! What a wonderful thread - thank you! How lovely to see so many well dressed men in one place. But why are Jones' fists clenched in almost every photo of him? lol

    Name your three favourite actors/actresses

    I'd put them all above James Dean, TBH. I don't think he was that good and let's face it, he only made three films! It's not as though he was outstanding in any of them. [huh]

    Vintage Appliances

    This is something I've never thought about before but now you mention it, Lizzie, do you not have grills built into your cookers? Ummm, by grill I mean the thing you put your bread under to toast it. I'm not sure that a grill over here is necessarily the same over there! lol Generally...

    Birthdays and how to celeberate them

    LM, your posts are always so interesting. Thank you for sharing that with us - that sounds like such a wonderful tradition. It's lovely to know that there are still some places in the world that revere older people instead of sticking them in homes and forgetting about them.

    Red Wines?

    Back in the days when I used to imbibe, I loved nothing better than to have a bottle of Carpathian Pinot Noir with dinner. Not that I'd have the entire bottle to myself of course!

    Birthdays and how to celeberate them

    People used to do that to my daughter (19th Dec) and it infuriated me. So I started sending all the relatives combined Christmas/birthday cards and presents, even if their birthdays were in the summer! The point was made and my daughter got to have separate gifts and cards. I actually think...

    japanese shoes ?

    Are you familiar with Colin Johnson? http://www.johnsonshoes.com/ I've heard excellent things about this man (and he makes vegan shoes too, if that is your thing). Prices are good too.

    Hepburn Gown Under The Hammer

    I wouldn't be surprised to see it go into six figures and I'd be interested to see who buys it; whether it will be an organisation or an individual.

    Hepburn Gown Under The Hammer

    Audrey's famous Breakfast At Tiffany's LBD (designed by Givenchy) is being auctioned at Christie's today and is expected to fetch between £50,000 and £70,000. Proceeds are to go to a charity in India that works with the under-privileged.

    Who is your favorite Bond?

    I definitely feel the right choice was made. Clive Owen has the capacity to be an excellent actor (I liked him in Gosford Park) but I don't think he has that certain Bondliness that Craig has. Which is why he wasn't chosen, I suspect! 221b - love your av! Brett was THE Holmes! :D

    Who is today's Cary Grant or close?

    A friend of a friend was sitting in front of Spacey at Ronnie Scott's a few weeks ago and claimed he was all; "Oohh me, me - look, I'm famous. I'm Kevin Spacey. Worship me." I don't believe a word of it! I think she was just miffed that his preferences lie in other directions! lol I like...

    Dita von Teese

    Now don't get me wrong, I like Dita - as far as I am concerned, she is the closest thing to female perfection that we have today and I'm quite fond of her husband too, though I detest his music. However, I find Dita's attitude toward sweatpants a tad hypocritcal seeing as how she allows her name...

    It's Christmas time again

    Oh my goodness, the Happy Prince - yes! That always makes me a little tearful. Unlike Raymond Briggs' Father Christmas, which makes me grin a lot. And The Snowman, which makes me do both. :D

    picked up this set of vintage silver forks with markings

    Perhaps the E stands for Electroplated? As in EPNS - Electroplated Nickel Silver. Just a wild stab in the dark there. My grandparents used to have cutlery similar to that when I was a child (proper silver ones for 'best' though!) and I always remember that one or two of the forks had begun...
