    This is a question for the gals....

    Some of y'all ladies have pieced my fantasy together. All I can do is provide the pic. Dana.... Although I wouldn't kick the other guy out for leaving cracker crumbs behind :)

    Rockin' that Cold War STASI look!

    It was all part of their nefarious scheme! Those were the decoys. The REAL Stasi were able to blend in better because everyone was too busy looking at the fake agents. I hate to think that part of the Evil Empire TM was that badly dressed.

    Round Robin/Beauty product swap box? Anyone interested?

    This does sound like a fun idea. I'd certainly like to play :)

    Everyday Bags

    I really like purses. A lot. I tend to rotate them, but I often carry an extra tote to work for reading material, Nook, ipod/headphones and lunch. The tote is made from an old magazine cover and salvaged upholstery, with bicycle tire inner tubes for straps

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    I went antiquing today, and I was in "vintage inspired". Pin curls, a hat, and capris. A 70's-80 year old gentleman using a scooter was coming into the shop, so I asked if wanted my arm coming up the steps. He declined, but he asked if my mother was alive. [huh]. I said yes, and he told me to...

    How Much Jewelry Do You Wear?

    Always a ring, usually earrings and a brooch. I like bracelets, but they tend to catch on the totes I'm working on, and a necklace tends to clash with the company ID around my neck. :( I try and match the outfit. I have a rather large selection of jewelry. Or as my mother said after she...

    this is a question for the dames (gals)

    Intellectual fantasy, I'm Grace Hopper, teaching math at Vassar. ANY fantasy? I'm Barbara Hutton, with Grace Hoppers' brains :)

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    I think some people discovered just how inexpensive it is to load up on vinyl. I had some friends pick me up one evening, and I was playing records when they came in. One of the guys said, "you're such a geek- but you're a cool geek". Made my day. But now I need a turntable that will do...

    How did America let this man become an icon of the working class?

    A gal could only hope that was true! If it was, I'd have majored in archeology. Larry isn't quite my brand of humor, although he does have his moments. But he is a caricature. Caricatures at their best usually contain at least a gram of truth. I'm from Kentucky, y'all. And I do know some guys...

    lunch box

    I had a stars and stripes dome box in 2nd grade. Somewhere in there I got a Star Trek box. These days I use a bento box. That box is totally safe in the communal refrigerator, since most of my co-workers are afraid of what's in it :)

    Show Us Your Purchases!

    I received the U.S.N sweetheart compact I ordered from Etsy, and bought one at the antique mall. But I've got a problem with the brass one. The mirror was loose, but unbroken, so I glued it back in. The glue didn't hold. It appears that the mirror has come detached in such a way, that I can't...

    Nashville- Vintage Hairstyling Workshop with Lisa Freemont Street- August 27th 2-4 PM

    Bartenders. My apologies if this is inappropriate. I am in no way associated with the workshop, except that I watch her tutorials religiously :) If you feel it should be removed (especially since there is a fee involved), I completely understand. I also wasn't sure if it went here or in Events...

    A Hobo Wedding

    It's such a harmless thing for people to get worked up over. Okay, yeah I wouldn't call $15,000 cheap- but the reaction from some of the commentators (I'm referring to the folks over at Etsy, here is nice and rational:) )is out of proportion. You'd think they had called it Mayan Wedding, and...

    Tim Burton doing Dark Shadows in 2012...

    I was very young when I watched this, so I remember very little about it. Except.... We had a round ottoman that I kept handy while I watched the show. When I got too scared, I would roll the thing in front of me, so I wouldn't see anything. I couldn't wait for it to come on- I just had to wait...

    A Hobo Wedding

    Sometimes I believe the 21st century interwebz are completely inhabited by virtual 19th century old maid ladies who hear something they disapprove of, and promptly head for the fainting couch with a case of the vapors. Or in this case- their keyboards. I'm tempted to quote Lazarus Long on what...

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    I will say that in Amy's case, for once it looks like most of the people around her- family, studio executives, other musicians- did care about her. Can't cite the article, but it was essentially this: her studio kept trying to get her to go into rehab, other musicians were trying to talk sense...

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    I've been in a few pizzerias. They're out there, you just have to look for them. There was one in Wilton Manors, FL that I really liked. Beer in those red plastic pitchers, candles with that "netting" over the glass. It was a hole in the wall between a pawnshop and a little grocery. Great place...
