    How You Gonna Cook That Bird?

    Vintage saves the day! So, this morning I've got the bird washed, stuffed, seasoned--ready for the kitchen twine to do the trussing. Where is that twine, anyway? Gone--that's where! Every twine-substitute in my house contained polyester; since melted plastic was not on the menu I didn't want...

    What made you fall in love with retro beauty?

    Old movies--no doubt! I grew up staying up for the late show, then I'd go to the library and read up on the studios, the stars, costume design, set design, portrait photography, etc. Each book would lead me to another book, which would lead me to another movie to track down in a near...

    What is it you want more than anything...?

    What a lovely sentiment.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I adored the look of that movie. Your post also made me wonder whatever happened to Penelope Ann Miller? She and Ian MacKellen were quite enjoyable in that film.

    Where are the Great Steak Houses??????

    In Minneapolis it was practically a rite of passage when I was growing up to go to Murray's for the first time. Garrison Keillior wrote about this in Time Magazine. http://www.mspmag.com/dining/restaurantguide/30986.asp

    Where are the Great Steak Houses??????

    I love the fiberglass cows out front too--Route One is a cheezy delight with the sign for the Leaning Tower of Pizza, Karl's Sausage Kitchen, and so many more.

    Winter Weather - First Snow-

    There were flurries all this morning in downtown Boston--the first I've seen this year (though I was told that it snowed while I was in CA).

    Does your given name fit you?

    Another Sarah here. According to Wikipedia "It should be pointed out that while most name books list the meaning of Sarah as "princess", sometimes translated as Goddess, the literal translation of the name is "princess of all"." So there! ;) Does it fit me? I suppose so but it's hard to...

    Favourite movies from the 1930s?

    How could I have forgotten Stage Door and Bringing Up Baby? I haven't seen it in a million years but I loved Kid Millions with Eddie Cantor too. Ethel Merman looks like she's 12 years old in that--she's so young!

    Oh Dear Me...

    Until the middle of my college years I was so shy it was practically pathological. The title of that Monty Python sketch "How Not to be Seen" would be a good heading for that period in my life. I think this was partially because I am an only child who grew up with a mother who was/is...

    How You Gonna Cook That Bird?

    Well, I'd best figure it out quick since today I got roped into cooking Thanksgiving dinner for several of my friends who aren't traveling! Did a huge shopping trip tonight. I usually do the butter/wine basting thing over cheesecloth for the turkey, no brining for me. I use a friend's...

    Favourite movies from the 1930s?

    Gosh, so many, but off the top of my head: 1931 Platinium Blonde Jean Harlow, Loretta Young and Robert Williams (I think he would have been a huge star had he not died so young); this is an early Frank Capra 1933 Topaz John Barrymore, Myrna Loy Little Women Katharine Hepburn...

    Thanks for posting this link Matt. Heidi's collection is astonishing--those shoes alone!

    "Christmas Belles", from Marks & Spencer

    Thanks for posting the link to this commercial--now that was retro done right! I loved spotting the films they lifted the scenes from, Bandaras was perfect casting and it was great to see Twiggy too. I think my favorite bit was "Clothes! Clothes! Clothes!" On a related note, the song...

    Another awesome hat from Art Fawcett!

    Love the red accent on the ribbon! Beautiful hat.

    What are you wearing today??

    I love this dress Kitty--aren't those old ladies magazines the best? Any chance of some detail shots (especially of the bodice)?

    What are you wearing today??

    Oh, Vintage Betty! The whole outfit is spectacular but those gloves! That hat! That pin! Just fantastic.
