    The BEST weather in your town!

    I used to live in the East Bay, and the weather is definitely great. The weather seems compareable here in the Santa Barbara area though. Although I'm not here in the summer, and I hear that's when it gets foggy. I guess there's more wind too. I live right by the beach and every once in a...

    Unexpected Places.

    I love when little bits of history pop up in unexpected places. Last May after going to an Italian chalk art festival at the Santa Barbara Mission while walking back to the car I noticed this in a nearby neighborhood. Makes me wonder who scratched it into the bench - did they make the...

    The Most "Vintage" US City

    It's funny to think that probably someday 60 or so years in the future people will look back on our time and talk about how much they love the architecture and the clothes (t-shirts, flip flops and all).

    Unknown Family Photos

    Family history is one of my favorite things! Trickeration, you said everything perfectly. I did the whole sorting old family photos with people I can't name thing too. When I visited my Grandma over Christmas she let me go through my Grandpa's pictures (he passed away nearly 20 years ago)...

    Anyone notice the "style" of.....

    haha, yeah, that's true his big budget movie wasn't that successful. I don't know whether to be sad or glad that maybe it'll send him back to making some more costume productions. I haven't read much on the possibility of more Hornblower films, but good to know that he at least sounds like...

    Favorite Detective?

    I have to join everyone else who said Nick Charles, although I'm equally a fan of Nora Charles. When I was little I loved Nancy Drew. When I was slightly less little I was a Sally Lockhart fan.

    Anyone notice the "style" of.....

    Whoa - I can't believe I forgot about Horatio Hornblower! I'd love it if they'd make more, but after being in big budget movies, would Ioan Gruffudd come back for the role? The shows wouldn't be the same without him.

    Favorite Pulp/Comic/Radio Heros

    Superman, Spiderman are nice, but Batman is tops. He's always been my favorite hero. When I was little I used to watch reruns of the campy 1960s TV show with Adam West. BAM! POW! Classic stuff. Unfortunately my hero knowledge is limited to all the big mainstream heroes - I really need to...

    Anyone notice the "style" of.....

    I love Island at War! It makes me want to know more about the occupation of the Channel Islands. I generally really enjoy British historical dramas, partially because the costumes are so fun to look at. Has anyone seen The Forsyte Saga? Both series one and two are great. It starts in the...

    My cheerful discussion...

    Excellent idea for a discussion topic! It's nice to think about the positive for a change. Music makes me happy too, but mostly when I'm dancing to it. If I can dance to a song, chances are I'll like it. Getting letters in the mail from family or friends is always an uplifter too. It's...

    If I had to pick one guy from the golden era. . .

    It's hard to pick just one, so how about a tie? Joel McCrea - for Sullivan's Travels and Dead End (even though this picture is from Foreign Correspondent) and Robert Montgomery - for a number of early 30s films, especially The Divorcee I already feel like I need to change who my...

    Thanks for the movie suggestion!:) It's playing on TCM this month so I'll have to remember to give it a look.

    How did you find the lounge?

    I made my way here via a search for something makeup/fashion/movie related, although I'm not sure if it was through google or livejournal.

    What do you do for Living?

    College student - history major and loving every book I read and paper I have to write (oh, okay, well not every paper :rolleyes: but I do really enjoy the major). I have an excuse to spend lots of hours researching and writing. I'm taking a class that I'm absolutely in love with - last week...

    Introducing myself!

    Oh, George Hurrell is fantastic! I could admire his photos for hours. Could you recommend a good Joan Crawford movie? I've seen her in The Women and Grand Hotel, but I'm not a big fan of either of those movies or her roles in them. I did really like her in the silent Across to Singapore...

    Californians Please check in!

    I grew up in Fremont, but now live in the Santa Barbara area. I miss the north sometimes, most especially San Francisco!
