    What Truman Said?

    Someone correct me if I'm wrong about this, but I was wondering why Truman didn't feel the same way about about the Army Air Corps/Army Air Force branching off into the US Air Force. They had a general on the Join Chiefs under Truman, yes?

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    Lovely shoes you got there, thanks for posting this! I'm always really leery of buying shoes online for this reason. There's so much that can go wrong with shoe fit, not to mention comfort, that it can be a hassle having to send things back, etc. And those Gramercy shoes! ::swoons:: I...

    What Truman Said?

    Thanks, guys, for the timely responses! Hondo, that's just the sort of thing I was looking for. These letters have been sitting in boxes in my grandmother's house for 50+ years and I would like to put them into some sort of scrapbook to preserve them. I wanted to add some sort of context...

    How to treat a lady...?

    Man, I can't agree more with Wingnut, beaucaillou, and Nick Danger! Nice guys are the best, and finding one is like finding a needle in a needle stack! But like beaucailou said, it always seems like the nice guys I thought I found ended up to be the smotherers. In fact, it's gotten to be...

    What Truman Said?

    I recently came into possession of some interesting letters between my grandfather, who died in 1954, and his congressman. From what I can gather from reading the letters this is what happened: President Truman and Congressman McDonough got into an exchange over something Truman said about the...

    Sorry, GoldLeaf, didn't meanto ignore your question yesterday! They were actually listed as specs, but they do look like some sort of Oxford. The label inside is Town & Country.

    Show Us Your Purchases!

    You know, the eBay seller said they were actually '50s but they're such a great colour and style you could wear them with anything. Can you believe there was only one other bidder, and that one in Germany? I thought for sure I would lose that auction! It was definitely a good catch.

    Look what came in the mail! I can't wait to wear these cuties tomorrow. I think I'm in love.

    Westerns & Singing Cowboys?

    Ah, The Searchers is great. Don't forget High Noon! "Mr. Pierce, Mr. Miller, Mr. Colby..." And the movie's theme was sung by Tex Ritter. Do a search for him on IMDb and you'll find more of what you're looking for.

    TCM schedule

    I think after seeing Wilde in turquoise sequined tights, that loincloth just gave me the killing blow. Talk about kicking a gal when she's down! I was rather relieved to see him fully dressed and hatted in The Big Combo ;)

    TCM schedule

    I can't help but notice you left off The Greatest Show on Earth (on tonight), which I bravely fessed up to liking on some other thread. :D That movie and Naked Prey leave me feeling seriously disturbed about Cornel Wilde.

    If You Were A Vintage Super Hero

    It's starting to sound like MST3K. This could be plausible.

    If you said you looked like one celebrity from the Golden Era...

    Thanks, I feel quite naked without my red lipstick!

    If You Were A Vintage Super Hero

    The Lip-Stalker. A foul-mouthed, snarkier version of the tooth fairy. Ladies, I know it's hard to part with that Wet 'n' Wild pearly white lipstick, but I'll leave you a nice, creamy matte red under your pillow. Men, here's a tin of Carmex. Trust me. I dunno about sidekicks, but...

    That's true, Elaina... could you imagine the sequins, low necklines, and empire waists if Laura was doing it? :D

    Charlie has been ON NOTICE with me for a loooong time.

    If you said you looked like one celebrity from the Golden Era...

    Wow, thanks jitterbugdoll. You are a total doll to say that! Actually, my parents said I looked like Bob Hope when I was a newborn. Better than W.C. Fields, eh? lol

    Poject Runway winner

    MrBern, you're like my TV watching alter ego! I'm not sure which I'm more aghast at: that Jeffrey is costuming the movie, or that there is an actual Bratz movie. When does the next season start? And is Tim still going to be there? I heard terrible rumours he might leave.
