    Indy Review

    Well, sure, but the gunpowder just looked cooler. ;) And then you'd have to explain why the Russians themselves weren't pulled toward the crate, given all the weaponry they had on them!

    Michaelson, Chapters 4 & 5...

    It may be just someone's invention for the film. But maybe not. I tried Googling "Michelson" and came up with Truman Michelson, an anthropologist who died in 1938. Barnes & Noble has some books written by him. And here is a short 1938 article written after his death.

    Indy Review

    Oddly, this scene didn't bother me much. It was so utterly forgettable that I didn't have time to be too irritated.

    Indy Review

    Precisely. The movie lacked magic. It was pounded into our heads that "the world has CHANGED". True, it had, but I don't think we needed to have it drilled in. They intentionally removed the magic in the beginning of the movie, and then spent the rest of the movie trying to put it back in...

    Where are the women?

    Yes! She aged very well, and not in the "look, I have impossibly perfect skin" way. Of course, she hasn't been in the movie industry for years, so that explains some of it. Cate Blanchett was great, too. I was afraid they would either make her character too tough & masculine or too sexy...

    Big lot of old records- SOLD

    I wish I had a record player! But I do not, alas. :( This wouldn't be that huge stash you found at the estate sale, would it...?

    Is it weird to buy someone's old yearbook for fun?

    I don't think so. I used to have a couple of 1920s yearbooks, and even some (more recent) photo albums that a lady at a garage sale gave me because no one wanted them, which I thought was rather sad. They're good for historical information, photos (for dating clothes), and besides, they're...

    New Indy Flick Poll

    Heretic! We shall lower you into a fiery volcano! Now where's my Evil Villain headdress? :D Actually, I think this could work...but not now. Harrison Ford IS Indiana Jones. Give it 20 years, and you can re-cast for the 30s-40s time period. Which would be similar to the gap between...

    Women's hats are back?

    I like the prospect of women's hats coming back. Men can get away with hats to a greater degree than women, at least when it comes to something other than a straw sunhat or baseball cap. Hopefully it won't be something strictly relegated to eveningwear. What if we aren't, but we want to...

    New Indy Flick Poll

    I just came back from seeing it. I really didn't like it that much. There were a lot of elements that went into making it that way. In the end, I didn't feel much like I was watching an Indiana Jones. Everything was too fast-paced and HUGE. Big explosions, big waterfalls, over-the-top-huge...

    Fashion Rules of the Past

    I never followed the "no white after Labor Day" rule. Mainly because white + me = horribly stained. [huh]

    Fashion Rules of the Past

    What an interesting link, GwenLake. And this would be me. Because I don't have many other occasions to show my finery! lol There was also this: "On the other hand, clothes that are too plain can be equally out of proportion. Last winter, for instance, a committee of ladies met in what...

    Show us your hair do's....

    Your hair looks cute, SuperKawaiiMama! :) And I have to ask, what brand/color is that lipstick?

    Hydrox Cookies Back for Limited Time!

    Aieeee!!! Are you serious? KitKats weren't designed to be like that. :( These "Hydrox" cookies sound interesting. I may have to pick up some just for the vintage novelty. :)

    Work and the dress down code

    In the interest of full disclosure: I'm one of those "Millennials" your mother warned you about. :) This is an interesting topic for me because I've recently graduated and am looking for a job. (Not my first, mind.) *Some* of my generation's opinions on the workplace aren't bad. I for one...

    Work and the dress down code

    Oh, can we???? :eusa_clap :eusa_clap If we can have Casual Fridays, why not Formal Tuesdays? (I think that was the basis of a comic I saw once.)

    Event Prep

    What, only 2? lol (BTW, I love my cell phone for being able to set multiple alarms on days when I really, really need it.)

    Work and the dress down code

    Remember, there's always the reverse psychology plan. Show up in a bona fide costume for the week: Beach Bum! Pull out the baggy shirts, the ripped & stained shorts, and revel in your newfound freedom from brushing your hair! Throw out the belts (who needs 'em?), be daring and pair white...

    Event Prep

    Be prepared! I try to be as prepared as possible, even though I usually have only a few days to prep. There are just too many things to be forgotten to leave it til the last day! Not that I'm always so disciplined, but I try to be for important things like interviews. Nothing like trying...

    Show us what you've made!

    Fluffy-tiger, what a great job you did on the bras & petticoat! And LadyDay, I love the blue & white dress. I think you've just convinced me to add contrast piping to my latest project.
