    Show us your TIES

    Of course, that would require a wide tie, whilst I'm a fan of the skinnies. What to do, what to do.....

    Sometimes, I wish Fedora Lounge just had a 'like' option..... ;)

    Most Depressing movies you've seen?

    I try to forget depressing movies, if I can't avoid seeing them altogether, but this thread has jogged my memory a bit. "Mad Max", "When the Wind Blows" (my husband has the dvd and likes loaning it out to people, insisting it's just a charming animation), "Where the Red Fern Grows" (saw it...

    Show us your TIES

    Yesterday while helping a friend clear out a house, I stuck my hand in a box of ties and came up with this peekaboo. Didn't see any others, but there was quite an assortment of ties from different decades, including a couple with tags like "every thread hand loomed by Indians of so-and-so...

    What are you listening to?

    I've recently gotten iHeartRadio on the laptop and kindle fire, and am enjoying an Al Bowlly/Ray Noble station that gives me some crooners plus a lot of old jazz. The Josephine Baker station is great too, throwing in Marlene Dietrich, Suzy Solidor, and even Al Jolson! The great thing about...

    What Are You Reading

    Just finished "The Red Leather Diary", which I began yesterday with a small bit of trepidation after having read a couple negative reviews. My review: it's a lovely piece of work, vaguely reminiscent of Little Edie's diary in providing a detailed glimpse of the good life in New York through the...

    The Artist

    I think that must be a big part of his reluctance. George was such a big star, and did so many interviews, radio included, that his accent could be no big secret. The more I watched the film, trying to put a finger on his great resistance to talking, I kept coming back to the sound test scene...

    Vintage Lifestyle VS Re-Enacting VS Cosplay

    This has been an interesting read. Who mentioned early on the thing about wanting to be noticed versus not? That one stuck with me because as time passes, I become more aware of whether I 'stick out' or not. In my younger years I took a little secret pleasure in being different and having...

    I'm eager to see these, but so far they're not viewable outside Australia. :(

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    At the joint down the street, a Pimm's cup and an amaretto sour. After walking home, the fellow and I shared a bottle of zin.

    What are you listening to?

    http://youtu.be/WzBjGcn12fE Belinda Carlisle's "Voila" cd. Found it in my car and forgot how much I'd enjoyed it until it went missing.

    tv theme songs...fading away

    http://youtu.be/5HNWhVXcjV8 My daughter is a security officer at Target and came home with the tale of a dramatic bust earlier this week. The perp was saying "I don't wanna go to the pen." I suggested Sara learn this song to sing to her shoplifters while waiting for the police to arrive...

    The Artist

    Those comments are astonishing to me. No doubt the majority were made by people who have not seen the movie. "Silent" hardly means soundless in this case, as the music is practically its own entity. Not to mention the few instances in which there is no sound at all are more effective rather...

    Midnight in Paris

    You can bet I'll be timing my next NYC visit to coincide with Club Wits End.

    Midnight in Paris

    We managed to finally watch it Saturday night. While I did like it very much, when it was over, I found myself wishing we'd been treated to much more of the 'midnight' world, and much less of the real world.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    "Midnight in Paris". Now I've seen three Oscar contenders, which may be a record for me. Miss Golightly, I remember when we watched "The People Under the Stairs", and had a good laugh when the little boy was excited about getting rich (was it money or treasures he found? I can't remember)...
