Favorite Vintage Perfumes
Miss Sofia, I don't know if Sephora is in the UK, or what their shipping charges are- but they do have l'Heure Bleue available online. One word of semi-caution. I don't know how old that bottle of vintage lHB was, but it has been reformulated over the years. There's a chance the new stuff will...- Bluebird Marsha

"Ten 100 Year Predictions that Came True"
Some things are best left in "predicted, yet not fulfilled" category. Like the flying car. Think about it. Do you REALLY want to see Grandmother Tiffany out for her afternoon "drive" in her flying convertible, sometime in the year 2051? In a silver jumpsuit? Think of the carnage! I forget where...- Bluebird Marsha

Ok, so some things in the golden era were not too cool...
Lizzie, thanks for that tidbit. I was curious about the idea of birth control being inadequate/non-existent. All I could think of was that in my family, everyone has had 2 or 3 children. And that's going back to the 1900's. I know there were miscarriages and infants who died in there. But that...- Bluebird Marsha

do you think donating items to a MUSEUM is a good idea? have you ever donated?
If this is something you really want to consider, approach the museums you're thinking of, and ask them! I'm a librarian, not an curator, but I think I know a few things they would consider. Is your donation relevant to their collection? If they are primarily devoted to art, your collection...- Bluebird Marsha

Ok, so some things in the golden era were not too cool...
There are several "big" things we could all see wrong- changing morals, manners, hygiene etc. But really now. In what millennium could baby juggling at height be considered entertainment? All that's need to make it worse would be ... baby juggling over an alligator pit.- Bluebird Marsha

The Nazi Women exposed as every bit as bad as Hitler’s male followers
If I read the article correctly, this is one of the first German published books to address the role of women in Nazi Germany. I only stress that because, while I can't cite the sources (and I'm not in the mood to Googlize it at the moment), I'm pretty sure I've read books in the past 30 years...- Bluebird Marsha

Facebook in the Golden Era...
I enjoy my Facebook, but I am careful about what I post on there. And my friends are completely okay with me untagging any photo. It DOES get inane. And it can be a total timesuck if I'm not careful- although all of my computer use can be that. I also had a horrible moment when I re-set up my...- Bluebird Marsha

Weird info I came across... Marilyn and Liz
True confession time. I've been shaving my face for about 20 years. I'm definitely not hirsute, but I had the idea that if I didn't have any peach fuzz, that my makeup would go on more smoothly. It does. And I'd heard that shaving helps men's skin stay in good shape, so I thought it might work...- Bluebird Marsha

WWII secrets...
^^^ The Japanese didn't use planned kamikaze attacks until late in the war. Damage to Allied carriers and battleships by the IJN first occurred during the attack on Pearl, and during the attacks on Britain's Repulse and Prince of Wales a couple of days later. I doubt that the commanders of the...- Bluebird Marsha

DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects
I wouldn't say I'm paying respects on this one, but there's one more dead dictator in the world today. May North Korea actually come out better- but I'm not willing to bet on it.

Stiudo apartments. Need ideas on how to vintage-fy.
That's an adorable kitchen, I want that mini-stove something awful! If you're going to redo your nest, pick one spot to start on- like the kitchen. Unless you have a really big budget, trying to do everything at once is unrealistic. Pick a "theme" for one area- and then expand. Using Hadley's...- Bluebird Marsha

Hair help - what am I doing wrong???
I went to a hair tutorial she did here in Nashville. It was great! While I'm no where near achieving the look I want, I am seeing improvement. In fact my mother saw one of my do's and practically squealed "You finally learned how to do your hair!" (I'm 37 and holding, so that's quite the...- Bluebird Marsha

BTW. A few extraneous comments. www.retrorenovation.com is a great resource. If it turns into a rabbit hole for you, I'll accept the blame! Vanity tables. I love them to pieces. But I've had a couple of problems. If you have a shortage of space, you can put your mirror on the wall. And I...- Bluebird Marsha

Haven't seen "Poor Little Rich Girl". color me ashamed :eusa_doh: But in the words of one women's magazine of the day: "G.I. Jane will retool with ruffles" I will not be snarky about that, but only cause I like ruffles. At any rate, without knowing your layout/needs- a few suggestions. A...- Bluebird Marsha

Stiudo apartments. Need ideas on how to vintage-fy.
For starters, if you have or can get one, a Murphy bed. Second, is it just you living there? I only ask because this is a decor that you can go full on frills if you like. Third, are you more interested in post-war decor, or would something like Hollywood Regency fit your mood and budget?- Bluebird Marsha

The Flowers Of War
Sounds like it could be a good film, but I don't think I could bear to watch it. Hmm. Doesn't there have to be a lie at the heart of something in order for it to be propaganda? If anything, I suspect this film toned down some of the horror. If they didn't, I think a large number of movie goers...- Bluebird Marsha

SwingGal, did you get that dress off Etsy? I wouldn't swear to it with 100 % accuracy, but I think that dress was in my favorites! Great minds think alike! For the record, I had it in there as an "inspiration piece" to help me stay on my diet.- Bluebird Marsha
