    Cities and Decades

    In a book I was reading the other day, the author coupled cities with decades as follows: 1900s: Vienna 1920s: Paris 1940s: New York 1960s: London That got me wondering about what city could be paired with the 1930s as "the city" of that decade. I'm also curious what everyone thinks of...

    Let's Be Gorgeous!

    My hair doesn't hold a style for long, and hair combs refuse to stay put, but other than that I couldn't ask for better hair. It's almost never frizzy, the only thing I need to do to it is shampoo and let it air dry. No need for blow drying, straightening irons, hair products to control it...

    Cincinnati a mecca for lovers of art deco

    I had no idea - thanks for posting the article! I may be headed out that way at some point this summer for the first time since I was really little, so it's nice to hear of the art deco to see there.

    Unwanted attentions?

    Back in high school I got e-mails and IMs from some unidentified person who said they liked me. They were creepy about it and wouldn't tell me who they were, but they asked me to e-mail them a picture of myself. Of course I said no way. One of my friends had an idea of who it might be. One...

    The Earliest Film You've Seen

    Oh yeah, I think that was the boxed set I watched! I remember "The Whole Damn Family," that was definitely a good one.

    The Earliest Film You've Seen

    Me too. That and the short clip Traffic Crossing Leeds Bridge, also from 1888. They're both floating around on the internet somewhere. Other than that I've seen a lot of Edison's early clips. It's been awhile, but I think it was this set that I rented. Way before Marilyn Monroe:

    Bring back dating?

    I'm definitely no teetotaler, but I'm bored with the drinking to get plastered thing. Sure every once in awhile, but everytime you go out? Doesn't the novetly ever wear off?? Drinking until you're gone is definitely a big thing about college age Americans, but at least the university I go to...

    That would be great!

    Bring back dating?

    Really? McDonalds? I was always under the impression that frat boy = make out and/or hook up, then never see one another again. Although, yeah, a cad is definitely appears classier, more Errol Flynn-ish. Maybe Alfie a la Michael Caine. The random makeout/hookup scene isn't my thing, it...

    The Future Of Film Making

    Sounds like a nightmare to me. There is something about physically being in a movie theater, in the dark, surrounded by others all sharing an experience that just can't be replaced. If the movie theater does eventually disappear, I think there will be something hugely lost. I'm not too...

    Price is Right with George!

    Oh wow. Bob Barker as Price is Right host has always been one of those reliable, unchanging things in life. I guess he is pretty old now, but it'll still be sad for his era to be over.

    The Broadway Melodies and other Hollywood Musicals

    I think of the Broadway Melodies I've actually only seen the 1929 one. I enjoyed it, but not as much as I enjoy Busby Berkeley musicals. Although, usually the earlier the musical the better, because once the code came in some of the charm went out. I love the sly indirect humor. I'm not as...

    The movies are dead - long live the movies

    The article makes a lot of good points, especially about narcissism and the internet. Although I question the idea that audiences were ever passive. Maybe segments of the moviegoing audience, but to call audiences passive seems like an overgeneralization to me. Didn't movie fans name Joan...

    Anyone else tired of winter?!

    That's a California thing too (at least the places I've lived).

    What's Your Vintage Skill Set?

    Ah, thanks for the heads up! The wounded jacket is pretty thin, so it should be okay, but I'll remember it for future clothing in need.

    What's Your Vintage Skill Set?

    Hooray, now I'll be able to wear that jacket again (and my nonskilled self feels just a smidgen - maybe a matchstick's width? - more skilled). Thanks button advice givers! :)

    Novels and Movies

    When I first saw Lord of the Rings I thought it was so fantastic. The only thing that really ticked me off was Arwen's bulked up role as hero to Frodo and the lack of the Faramir-Eowyn romance. I was okay about other things that bothered others (like no Tom Bombadil). I just watched the first...

    What's Your Vintage Skill Set?

    That's what I'm worried about! haha If it weren't for that I think I could wing it okay.

    What's Your Vintage Skill Set?

    Bake from scratch (although the results are hit or miss) Umm, write a nice snail mail letter? I use to know how to develop and print black and white film, but it's been awhile. I am seriously lacking in the vintage skills department. I have to look up online how to sew a button onto my jacket.
