    We're Back From The BRINK!

    There *are* quite a few threads and posts missing, aren't there? At least it didn't affect my post count. :) I'm glad it returned - I was having withdrawal symptoms!

    Ideal bodies for the eras

    Edited: Never mind. Suddenly my earlier post appeared again.

    Which vintage piece do you wonder about most?

    Wow, LizzieMaine - sounds like a find! It would be wonderful if vintage clothes could talk. *sigh* I have a gorgeous matching silk dress and coat set that looks to be from the 1950s, although it could be from the early '60's. The label is Dynasty of Hong Kong, and the pieces are amazing...

    Ideal bodies for the eras

    DressADay posted a comment from La BellaDonna as an entry, and it deals with different body shapes and appropriate vintage eras. You might find it helpful - I know I did. http://www.dressaday.com/2006/11/are-you-ruler-or-apple.html Sadly, as a pear who loves the 30's and 40's...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    "Classy" isn't vintage or modern; it's how you dress and act, so it's obviously possible to be classy and modern. Personally, I don't have everyday-wearable vintage clothes, so it's sort of a classic/modern blend for me. As for "classy"...I certainly hope so! :) Usually people assume I'm...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    "The Greatest Show on Earth". You've gotta love the combination of Cecil B. DeMille and Charlton Heston. Now if only I could get my hands on "Secret of the Incas".

    Veronica Lake -The Woman Who Smiled Little

    Ah, I see. I do that too a lot of the time.

    Veronica Lake -The Woman Who Smiled Little

    YES! I'm glad it's not just me! It's happened only once or twice (I try not to go around scowling!) but in those instances...my response is *not* a huge, happy, oh-look-you're-so-witty grin. And Jovan? Despite what I just said about people telling me to smile...smile! lol Wearing braces...

    The Swimsuit Issue - 1917

    Fun! Thanks for sharing. The girl in the striped swimsuit certainly isn't afraid of that lobster, is she? :)

    concentration/staying on track

    Frankly, I wouldn't know. I'm avoiding homework as we speak. :p Seriously, it's the "just one more drink" syndrome that gets you. Back to the ol' grindstone now...

    Back to zits

    Hope it works for you! Remember, *raw* honey - I don't think the pasteurized stuff works as well.

    "So how much do you make a year?" No longer taboo?

    :offtopic: Very well put. May I second that? I don't think mentioning financial issues (at least in passing) is taboo with friends that you know well. But asking salary is another issue entirely. I'll cop to asking it before - but these were young college peers who were paid an hourly...

    Calling Cards (name cards, not phone cards)

    Then they can meet Mr. Answering Machine. :D I can see that being true, but do they then just collect the freebie customers' names and not the paying customers'? Sadly, I take it as a given that most any company I give my name and address to will be sharing it.

    Calling Cards (name cards, not phone cards)

    Mm. I see your point. I plan on putting some artwork on it, which would look *prettier* in glossy, but I guess it would also work on matte.

    The lighter side (?) of WWII

    I don't doubt that life was "normal" to some degree during the occupation - after all, you had to have *some* normalcy, as Twitch said. But these are propaganda photos - of course everything's going to look just peachy! I'd consider it irresponsible to not place that information in the...

    Calling Cards (name cards, not phone cards)

    Which brings up another issue...home or cell # on the card? Sounds like most of you have your cell numbers, but I'm going back and forth between the two. Home - run the risk of someone else picking it up and not getting the message or acting unprofessional to a potential employer. :eek...

    Back to zits

    I've found raw honey to help with breakouts and red skin. If it's really bad and inflamed, I'll take a *tiny* dab of raw honey, mix it with a drop or two of water, and spread it over the afflicted areas. Of course, it's best if you sleep on your back, don't use your nicest pillowcase, and tie...

    Can anyone identify the woman in this 1930s photo?

    If the third letter is an N, perhaps Igne? It did show up as a last name on a Google search. I must say, though, the woman looked vaguely familiar to me when I saw the photo. If she isn't somebody famous, she must just have one of "those" faces.

    Wet-Clean Suit - literally wash and wear

    Cary Grant would've appreciated this suit in Charade!

    Veronica Lake -The Woman Who Smiled Little

    Wow. A little lighting, a little makeup, and viola! Silver screen siren. Clearly, what I need is a makeup crew and my own portable lighting system. :D
