    Downton Abbey style dress

    Nataya is pricey (she's also the designer for the majority of Victorian Trading Co.'s clothing), but you can find her stuff on sale if you search the web. I wore one of her designs to a friends Downton Abbey party, and received a number of compliments. Check ebay for her, and also do a web...

    Round 3 Beauty Box Official Thread

    I'm interested. Though I (sadly) threw some things out during a pre-Christmas cleaning frenzy, I still have saved up several things to contribute, should we do it again.

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    One Hemingway, one Blood & Sand.

    I'm happy to play again, whenever that may be.

    Show us your Thrift and/or yard sale finds

    I know. And I'd even been telling my companion about past items I still regretted not buying. All I can do is go next month in case she's there again, offering the same goods. I'll not pass it up again!

    Show us your Thrift and/or yard sale finds

    No, a monthly antiques market at the fairgrounds. Some sellers are professional dealers, but many are locals just looking to ditch their old stuff. One woman was selling her mother's and grandmother's treasures (with a smile even! I can't imagine...), including one of those embossed leather...

    Show us your Thrift and/or yard sale finds

    A fun pile of little treats, mostly $1 each. 1928 magazines and a handbag pattern book filled with dramatic, elegant photos. $2 and $3 each.

    Halloween Costumes

    We had a party to attend last night, but until Thursday had been thinking it was tonight. The ensuing rush to prepare put a damper on costume ideas - working under pressure and all that - so about an hour before party time, I spied a pair of old Beckwith's of Boston jodhpurs I'd gotten years...

    What Are You Reading

    My bedtime book is Christie's "Secret Adversary". Yesterday I had a surprise delivery of a book (surprise because I'd pre-ordered it in January and after the initial spring release was delayed, rather forgot all about it): "Talking Pictures" by Ransom Riggs. He has written "Miss Peregrine's...

    Show us your hair do's....

    Being not nearly as adept and patient as the 'serious' hair girls, I was delighted to find I could get a reasonable semblance of 20s/30s curls with the hot sticks I bought from our Kitty Twister. I'm happy enough with the haphazard look; imagine how excited I'll be when I actually develop a...

    Victorian gentlemans clothing, where to find information?

    But where should the ladies go who are interested in an Edwardian, between-the-wars look?

    Abandoned Republic

    Ah, the nostalgia. I had a great pair of straight-legged adventure pants from BR - still do in fact, but the seat and one knee have ripped due to decades of wear. Also, in my closet is one of those 'pocket for everything' vests that my mother bought for me just before I set off on my one-way...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    "Pontypool" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ehq2a8lum_4 Not Welsh but Canadian. And weirdly compelling.

    Round 3 Beauty Box Official Thread

    It's a good thing the box isn't going international. I sent a parcel to England last week & discovered a new, oh so sensible post office policy - in addition to the quadruplicate customs form, now all information is also entered into the computer, destination address and detailed listing of...

    Censorship at Fedora Lounge

    As a vegetarian, I find that offensive. ;)

    What, to you, is glamour/glamorous?

    I consider Marilyn very glamorous, but not in the icy aloof way described by others. Whether she was done up for a film, or being photographed candidly on the beach, her glamour was very obvious.

    What, to you, is glamour/glamorous?

    An easy elegance, less is more. Two reasons we don't have glamorous celebrities anymore: the need to be loud, visible, and shocking, and the no-holds-barred PR machine. When you've seen someone drunk, parts of their bodies that only mother or a lover should be familiar with, heard all about...
