This is a fabulous thread!
My school didn't have a prom because they believed dancing was sinful and they didn't want to encourage such activity (yes, I did go to school in the film Footloose--except Kevin Bacon must have gotten lost somewhere along the way!). They did throw a formal...
Very cool thread, it's really cool to see all of the pictures.
No tattoos for me--sometimes I feel like one of the only ones without one, they're so popular now.
All your pictures are so great glugungeisha. Love the photographer's direction!
When I was getting my high school senior pictures done I still remember the photographer, going for a dreamy look he could put into one of those "full face/profile in same image" shots, saying "Think of your...
The topic of cats and books reminds me of I had a cat while I was in high school named Striped. The poor thing was a stray I got from the shelter and very suspicious of people when I first got him--didn't want to be touched, etc.
One night I was laying on my stomach reading in bed when a...
I really enjoyed Radio Days--it's sweetly sad at points but overall I think it has a nice affectionate feel for the period. Kenneth Mars as Rabbi Baumel always makes me howl "I'll show you a faithful Indian companion!". The cameo by Diane Keaton singing "You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To" is...
Deal on Devotchka--their touring schedule seriously frustrates me; they're travelling everywhere except the East Coast it seems like!
I love FF but they seem to be a love 'em/hate 'em band; I've yet to meet anyone who was on the fence about them. Both albums are good but the first has a...
Thanks for the reminder about this Zaika--I'm in! I wrote a mini-novel earlier in the year and I keep meaning to finish it (and not doing it). I've also got my second story pretty well mapped out but it needs to be written. We shoud definitely have a thread here so we can check in with and...
I'm still recovering from my quick trip to NYC. 5 hour drive down Monday night -- stayed up late yakking, spent the day in Gotham on Tuesday -- staying up late yakking, then got up at 4 am Wed. for the 5 hour drive back so my friend could get back in time for a business meeting later that day...
Me with Davie Bones. (Had to give her a pirate name because of the spot over her eye!)
You should print this as a poster--you'd make a mint selling that image to college girls for their dorm walls! Great picture!
A very interesting post Black Prince, thanks for writing.
I know what you mean about initially being boggled by the knowledge evidenced by many of the members here, but I've never found a group that is more open to share what they know in a friendly, non-condescending manner.
I would...
I was visiting New York City yesterday. I wore a 1950's navy blue silk shirtdress with a novelty bow tie print, modern shoes and coat, navy blue 1960's purse with brown plastic handles.
Thanks for the link Short Clara--I'm thinking about starting a modern novelty patterns thread to share some of my links but I haven't gotten around to doing it yet.
KittyT--Still, a week is very cool. Great that you have relatives there--have a great time.
I am speechless at the fabulousity of both of those items--I especially love that print! I'm looking for a red belt too--where are they hiding them?
Texasgirl--that is a gorgeous dress!
Sometimes I wonder what our pets think of us.
I was looking for something in a closet yesterday and found this bizarre stuffed pumpkin that I bought at a Christmas Tree Shop years ago (I don't usually get a lot of holiday stuff but the expression on this thing cracked me up). What should I...
