    Thanks mama! I am thinking maybe I'll wear an orange dress with this hat for Halloween and be a pumpkin! ;) I *love* giving out candy to the little kids.

    Ideal bodies for the eras

    I agree with all this...except...high necklines look great on me! However, I'm long-waisted, so that might be the difference.

    consignment shopping

    I was at a vintage shop today, selling some of my items, and the woman asked me "Is consignment ok with you?" Of course it was! I think consignment is ideal. You get half (or so), and if it doesn't sell, you get to take it back! It works for me because, as a buyer/wearer and not a vendor...

    Ideal bodies for the eras

    You're probably wearing the wrong bra size. You should DEFINITELY go in and be fit by a pro, think Macy's, or Victoria's secret, or anywhere else that does it. The answer to both these things is tailoring. Buy to fit your bust, and bring them to the tailor to be altered to fit your small...

    The shoulder pads come out of my 40s things. Sacrilege? I hope not.

    Why don't we write letters anymore?

    The reasons letters used to be so special is that they were the only way of communicating with loved ones. The phone did a number on that. Now there's email. I can stay in touch with someone on the other side of the world with no trouble at all. What's wrong with that? However, letters do...

    Oh darn, I tried to include a poll in this thread. Mods - can you create a poll with 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, and other, options? And if it's too redundant feel free to merge ;)

    Dresses: Which Decade?

    30s, 40s, 50s dresses - which do you prefer and why? This came to my while I was trying to zip myself into a back zip 50s number and couldn't. I gave up and put on a favorite 40's rayon dress instead. I'm casting my vote for 40's dresses. So, which do you prefer and why? It doesn't have...

    Definitely! The bust is snug and the waist requires foundation garments, but I can just...not breathe or move...right? Actually it's not all that bad, I wouldn't wear it if I were afraid it might tear. Thanks! Amazing right? It's actually navy, with nary a spot on it! Even the two talon...

    Evolution of Colonial English Accents - Australia and New Zealand

    You know, I was listening to NPR today and every once and awhile this woman comes on who is a linguistic scholar. She says that the reason the Brits and Americans have different accents is not because we lost our accents but that the Brits gained one. That was completely fascinating to me...

    Definitely, though it's very rare that I find something in my size! Usually it's much smaller stuff, and I buy it and give it to my more petite friends!
