NERD ALERT PART II
Ooo, good point MrBern, you're right. The event was totally changed, which is interesting. And didn't the gun make a 'click' noise like it locked up as if a round got stuck in the chamber? If you're firing a gun and run out of ammo or it gets jammed, a lot of the time your hand will...- Shearer

NERD ALERT PART II
Just watched the last ep from DVR... I was sorry to see Ando go but I'm glad that Hiro's plot is finally going to get going...! As for the bullet, I think Hiro DID stop it... and rewind it? He had his eyes closed so I think he's putting it down to misfire because he thinks he can't use...- Shearer

If you said you looked like one celebrity from the Golden Era...
No one's ever told me I look like anyone! So sad! The My Heritage gave me people ranging from Asians to Leni Riefenstahl, which I find rather funny. Here's two big scary pictures that I took this morning:- Shearer

Sharing your love of vintage with the children?
I was singing Cole Porter to my almost-two-year-old nephew the other day. He told me he liked it ;) Anyway, I read this article on Fark the other day and thought it was interesting. Some parents threw their boy a Band of Brothers themed party where they dressed up as members of Easy Co. and...- Shearer

"Why Won't You Die!?"
Obvious: Everyone thinks Hooper's dead until he pops up at the end of Jaws. And of course, there's this little MST3K gem where a character dies in one scene and returns to work in the next... purely unintentional lol- Shearer

Face Powder Face Off
On being pale... I must have gotten my pale skin from my dad's side of the family, because my mom has olive undertones and can tan very nicely. My dad's side had Irish redheads and Germans and I swear I can burn on a cloudy day! I live in Southern California, so I really feel like the odd... -
Jesus Camp
Feraud, another documentary lover? When I first got Netflix, I stocked my queue full of documentaries and Capturing the Friedmans was one of the first I got. Back on topic: I watched this a couple of weeks ago and was struck by how often and how much the kids in the movie cried during the...- Shearer

Face Powder Face Off
Helen Troy, Ohhhh, thanks for the tip. It's hard for me to find a concealer or foundation that won't add colour to my skin. Faith, I think you came across perfectly for what I was trying to say! When I use moisturizer, it clears up the dry parts and makes me shiny other places, hence the... -
"Why Won't You Die!?"
I looked in on this thread earlier and was going to suggest Harry Lime in The Third Man but was beaten to the punch... a couple of times :) I knew I'd seen at least a couple of films likes this lately so I checked my Netflix queue... not vintage, and definitely eclectic, but Ravenous with Guy...- Shearer

Girdles, Corsets, and Underpinnings
Wow, I was totally going to agree with Lady Day on that one... I know cloths used to be pinned in place on underwear/belts like she said. Then I googled "chaffer" and found this link. It says it's c. 1950 and to prevent chafing between the thighs??? :confused: I dunno... if there's pin holes...- Shearer

Do we like sodie pop? What do you like and what do you call it?
I've got family up in North Carolina... do you call them Yankees down there in Mobile? ;) Forget the coke, my cousin introduced me to sweet tea. Brewing tea and sugar, whoulda thunk it! lol- Shearer

NERD ALERT!!
Well, after that I think I may indeed be the only one left watching. Is it just me, or is watching this show starting to feel like homework? I DVR most everything on TV and watch it when time permits and it took me week just to get through LAST week's episode. Besides, I've started...- Shearer

Face Powder Face Off
I'll have to look it up... I am extremely fair toned so I was looking for something that wouldn't add any colour. Hey, free face powder from ANYONE is a plus, especially if it's a make up artist. -
Face Powder Face Off
Thanks for the quick advice ladies! I think I'm going to stick with Coty airspun since the Besame stuff IS so costly. My skin isn't normally dry, but we've been having an unusually dry winter here in So Cal. I'm pretty good about my cleanse, tone, moisture routine, so I'm going to change... -

Nutty Neighbors
A few years ago my parents got into a Hatfield/McCoy situation with a neighbor who called a tree trimming service, posed as the resident of my parents' house and had them hack the tops off all of their pepper trees. I didn't know trees were so infuriating 'til I started reading all of these...- Shearer

Face Powder Face Off
Has anyone used both Coty Airspun and Besame's translucent powders? If so, which did you like better? (Or is there a super-powder I'm unaware of?) As it is, I moisturize, then use a brush with Besame's bisque souffle. I know some people think it's too heavy, but when I use the brush it... -
the adventures of starla, vintage newbie
Pretty new here too..... ...although I've been into vintage ever since I was a little thing. I think what started me out what hearing stories about my family when I was little. My dad grew up close to dirt poor, but when I looked at the photos of his parents and their friends, the style was...- Shearer

Oh, it's the UPS song...
This has always been a pet peeve of mine... Yeah, it's sad that some people are only being exposed to new things through TV commercials. You'd think Audrey would be a big enough icon by now, but go figure. It drives me batty, though, when advertisers use inappropriate songs in their...- Shearer

What's your alltime favorite movie?
No, not just one The Women! I think every time I watch it, I hear a zinger I never heard before. What an ensemble cast. The Killing. All the money blowing away... The Bad Seed. The scene where Leroy is telling Rhoda there's a little pink and blue electric chairs for children? Ha...- Shearer
