    True Confessions: My Sordid String of Love Affairs

    Dick Powell has a chin! I think he is the perfect romantic lead in musicals. He starts singing, and I swoon. He has charisma and he always seems respectable, and (to me at least) impossible not to like. There is something about him that is just so well rounded and attractive - even if he...

    First ever crime fiction book?

    Not a detective club, but a spy club of sorts. We all had 00 numbers and went on missions defusing "bombs" we planted, tracking the enemy, and other stuff like that. Can't tell you more, or I'd have to kill you. ;)

    show us your lippy

    I could use some work on perfecting red lipstick application. I think I need to invest in some good lipliner! Here's L'oreal Plum Brulee. It's more of a dark vampy color in person than in photos. So far my favorite red! (although I have yet to try any MAC - and those colors all look so...

    What are you watching?

    The True Confessions thread inspired me to go watch 1960s Batman episodes and Monkees videos on youtube.

    I'd never been to a Woolworths until I came here.

    Can you help me date this item??

    It makes me think of the 1960s. Although my grandma had something similar, but yellow, in the 1950s.

    True Confessions: My Sordid String of Love Affairs

    The Fonze is classic, but I can definitely see the Potsy attraction too!

    Patterns & Paper Ephemera Storage

    I'm really terrible about my magazines/sheet music/etc. They're all vertically standing on a bookshelf in the plastic bags I bought them in (which probably aren't acid free) At least they're in a location that gets little light and has a pretty constant temperature. I see a summer project in...

    Anyone care to waltz?

    Sure! I took a ballroom dance class two years ago, although I've pretty much forgotten everything, so I'll need a refresher first!

    What Is The Strangest Thing You've Ever Seen?

    Halloween in Isla Vista, CA. Thousands of people on a street just off the beach. There's no organized fair or events. It's just a street packed with young people (mostly) in costumes, some wandering around, others going down the street on the way to Halloween parties. There are horseback...

    Vintage Jewelry

    Whoohoo accessories. I think an accessories thread is a great idea Daisy. Here are some of my vintage-y pieces of jewelry. A lot of it is 1928. Mostly from sales at department stores, but there's at least one thing from Claire's, Accessorize, and New York & Co (and one of the little pairs of...

    True Confessions: My Sordid String of Love Affairs

    Holy hotness Batman! First crush. The one to the right. I think I've mentioned this one before. Fifth grade: Year of the Monkees. Davy Jones for me. I use to pretend their song "Valerie" was actually "Mallory"(my name - constantly confused with Valerie when I first meet people). (PSG...

    Your Past, Present, Current and Future Concerts

    I've never been a huge music person. I enjoy it, but I usually don't keep track of it. I haven't been to too many concerts. My first was maybe a grade school field trip to a local classical concert. I'm not sure. My first big concert was the Killers (with the Fray opening, waaay before...

    Memories of Chile

    These pictures and the information you've written to go along with them is great! My knowledge of anywhere in South America is pretty much zip. I could use some enlightenment.

    If You Could Meet The Original Owner

    Aside from a few things from grandparents and great grandparents my vintage is pretty much paper stuff (magazines, postcards, etc.). I'd love to talk to those who owned the magazines before. I'd be curious to hear their take on articles in LIFE or Reader's Digest magazines. I'd love to spend...

    Cash or debit card?

    I take money out from ATMs once a week - it helps me budget. If I have to go back to the ATM before the week's up I've been spending too much. If the money lasts two weeks instead of one I've been really good. I only use debit cards for online purchases and taking money out. I wrote checks...

    Cities and Decades

    Good point! Unfortunately there wasn't much rationale given. The chapter was on British and American culture of the 1960s and it cited a lot of the cultural influences coming out of London in that decade. The sentence that labeled the decades was something like - as with the 1900s and Vienna...
