    Round 3 Beauty Box Official Thread

    My daughter came home to do her laundry (and scrounge food), so I took her to an open house at a day spa down the street. We ate the food, drank the drinks, sampled the samples, then returned home to find the beauty box on the doorstep. Sara said, "is it for me, is it for me?" Silly thing. I...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    "The Bed Sitting Room". In its day its post-apocalyptic black humor must have been fresh and hilarious (Spike Milligan, et al), but now it's just weird. I had a much better time Friday night at the original OKC Paramount film exchange screening room - recently restored into a coffee...

    Round 3 Beauty Box Official Thread

    I've gathered some goods and still may have a few more to collect. Although, for some reason I feel I should stick a kitten in the box when I send it to ThemThereEyes......

    Round 3 Beauty Box sign-Up Thread! Deadline: August 17

    I want to be clear on acceptable offerings for the box. Am I correct in understanding that besides cosmetics and fragrances, any beauty-related item is okay, such as styling aids, accessories, etc.?

    Who Did You Just See Live?

    I was offered a spur-of-the-moment pair of tickets for Chita Rivera's My Broadway tonight. What a show! I should say, what a treat having orchestra center seats for a legendary song and dance woman telling her heartfelt tales of decades in show business, and singing for us as well. I'm...

    What Are You Reading

    Finally, I got a copy of "The Collected Writings of Zelda Fitzgerald", so after having only read excerpts and snippets in assorted biographies, I am at last reading "Save Me the Waltz" in its entirety. Also, on that same impulsive visit to Half-Price Books, I stumbled upon a lovely copy of...

    Oklahoma City Suggestions

    I've been on 25th for over 15 years, and can't think of another part of the City I'd prefer. eta: When I lived in Norman for college, in the mid 80s, it was a charming place. These days though, with all the Interstate shopping sprawl and added traffic, it doesn't appeal to me at all. I...

    Why Don Draper IS Lounge

    I had a friend go on and on about "Mad Men", telling me how funny it was. Not sure what I expected, but when I finally tried to sit through an episode (season 2 or 3, I'm not sure), it just didn't do it for me. Of course, I'm much more a between-the-wars kinda gal rather than mid-century, so...

    Oklahoma City Suggestions

    The hip new refurbished and freshly built places in the heart of downtown are very well apt to be in the $2000 range. However, for a more green, relaxed vibe you can look in the uptown area for more reasonably priced vintage digs. Here's a visually delightful one in my neighborhood...

    Hanging your laundry on a clothesline

    I've never had a dryer at home since moving out from my parents' place decades ago. During the nomad years, a laundromat was good enough, and I got out of the habit of having a dryer around. When we bought this 1917 home, it was clear we needed to economize on gadgets - there were no...

    Besame cosmetics

    I used the link too, and even though it was past the cut-off time, and I had to resubmit my info three times, it seems to have worked. Thanks for sharing.

    How old is your house?

    95. I hope we can get her nicely spruced up for her 100th birthday party.

    Today's Pinup Fashion a Sly Wink to the Past - New York Times

    What Lizzie said. Also, having had a daughter turn out amazingly classy in a skanky world, I'm giving a bit of the credit to TCM, which I watched very much while she was growing up. She could (and still can) name all those black and white stars; Claudette Colbert was one of her favorites. And...

    Today's Pinup Fashion a Sly Wink to the Past - New York Times

    I don't know how one would go about it other than showing examples. As you said, 'sexy' women of the golden era were most often a complete package of beauty, elegance, class, style, and confidence. And has been touched upon pages ago on this thread, even the women considered naughty back then...
