    One Day in History

    That's brilliant! I think I would go back to the 1910s or 1920s in a city and just hang around a movie theater watching silent films, and then maybe take a stroll around in the late afternoon to take in the atmosphere. I'm not sure which city or which exact year since I can't decide which...

    If you said you looked like one celebrity from the Golden Era...

    I've always felt that you look like Barbara Stanwyck! Not Golden Era, but I also think that there's something about Kari Matchett (from the A&E Nero Wolfe series and also the TV show Invasion) that reminds me of the pictures you've posted on the forum.

    Show Us Your Purchases!

    Those fishing lure earrings are too cute! There is nothing better than a pair of fun earrings. (....except maybe a pair of fun shoes)

    Paddy's return from 'The Green Fields of France'

    Those pictures are all fantastic - I'm glad you posted them! Seeing pictures makes it all that much more real. It also makes me want to visit myself for the in-person experience.

    L'Oreal Limited Edition Vintage Colors

    I'm glad you posted about the glitter in the brown quad. I'd considered buying it a few weeks ago, even carried it around the store but ended up putting it back. After all this talk about the vintage line I was feeling a little sad that I decided not to buy it, but that makes me feel a little...

    Your Top 10 TV Shows

    Benji was such a cutie- he had so much personality on stage! But I have to admit I was rooting for Travis to win.:o All these posts have reminded me of all sorts of shows that I wish were on my (already too long) list like If Walls Could Talk, Early Edition, The Pretender and Gilligan's Island.

    Parents: When May Our Children Start Dating?

    I'm not a parent but thought I'd comment anyways. My mom said no dating/no boyfriend until I was 15, and then things like the time to be home by were on a situational basis. Rather than just setting a time like 10, 11, or 12 o'clock, taking into account the evening's planned events and then...

    Your Top 10 TV Shows

    Speaking Of The Loungers...

    Now I'm curious - what voice pops into your head if you read a post of mine? I *love* regional accents, probably because I find them a lot more interesting than the standard TV American voice. I have a not-too-exciting California/bland TV/non-accent. I hate to say non-accent but I can't...

    Are we becoming more lazy?

    lol Eating healthy is definitely expensive. I was just reading a magazine yesterday that had two pages full of really yummy sounding healthy recipes, but the ingredients required to make all the meals would end up costing a lot. I think that people on the whole have the option to be...

    L'Oreal Limited Edition Vintage Colors

    I saw the display at Ulta and despite the fact that I didn't need to buy more makeup I was a sucker for the advertising and packaging. I think red lipstick buying is some kind of addiction/disease - the bug's bitten me too.

    Vintage-Inspired clothing lines

    That seems to be standard on Forever 21 dresses. The other day at the mall I tried on 4 or 5 of their dresses and pretty much all of them were see-through! Very disappointing, although I guess it's one of those you-get-what-you-pay-for sort of situations - but still!

    What Are You Reading

    I feel that way all the time! There are just so many interesting things to read on the computer. Right now I'm reading Rex Stout's Nero Wolfe books - very fun reads. The mysteries themselves are alright, but it's the characters of Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin that really make the books...

    Taxi Dancers and Jazz Bands

    I'm not sure what information you've already come across from your research, but here is something that I thought was interesting and you hopefully haven't seen yet. This is from The Journal of Criminal Law, Criminology, and Police Science © 1954 Northwestern University: "The Passing of the...

    GENEALOGY Experts

    I know you asked for sources outside of Ancestry, but I thought I'd mention that every library I've been to offers a version of Ancestry free (although if it's the "Library" version you'll not be able to view much more than the census records. I was super disappointed when I realized this as...

    Taxi Dancers and Jazz Bands

    I just think of Ruth Etting's song "Ten Cents a Dance" - Ten cents a dance, that's what they pay me Gosh, how they weigh me down Ten cents a dance, pansies and rough guys Tough guys who tear my gown Seven to midnight I hear drums Loudly the saxophone blows Trumpets are tearing my...

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    Those shoes are way too cute. This thread is bad - it's making me want to spend money I don't have! :)
