Beaucaillou and Cacklewack are Famous! Fedora Loungers Make Good!
Fantastic stuff, Tango Yankee!! Let us know if we can help in any way. It is amazing that we met here, saved a bee, and now have Bee Thinking and our soon to be second business (yes we are crazy) Mead Market (online and retail destination for all things mead wine and all things mead-wine...- beaucaillou

Beaucaillou and Cacklewack are Famous! Fedora Loungers Make Good!
Here is a link to 1-hour class Cacklewack gave last night in our town. Maybe it will answer some of her questions? It goes over foundationless hives, which are great for backyard and hobby beekeepers because they are cheaper than commercial hives, let the bees control their own environment, and...- beaucaillou

Beaucaillou and Cacklewack are Famous! Fedora Loungers Make Good!
Hi Tango Yankee! Wherever those bees are living, they are out of food and in danger of starving this winter. Natural selection at its finest. Had they been a stronger colony to begin with, they would have enough honey stores to make it through and wouldn't be stealing your simple syrup! If you...- beaucaillou

Beaucaillou and Cacklewack are Famous! Fedora Loungers Make Good!
Aww, thanks!! We actually met in the FL in 2007, and met in person later that year at a Portland event that was organized on the Lounge. I know we were not the first Loungers to get married, but now I am forgetting which couple it was? Our bees and business keep us buzzing (!) but we still skulk...- beaucaillou

When is overdressing acceptable?
I agree with the fore noted 'gradations' of dress. I tend to dress well because, well, to me life itself is worth dressing up for. My lovely clothes and ensembles aren't going to take themselves out, and I have regretted more than once leaving a silk frock at home when it clearly needed a...- beaucaillou

What Are You Reading
Hey Harp, wasn't there a poetry thread around here before? Had quite a nice clip to it, I believe. I saw a Bartender reply to one thread that Poetry wasn't in keeping with a vintage theme, but then I have to wonder about the 'What was the last movie you watched?' thread among many others...- beaucaillou

Vintage Laundry
My Mother just sent me all of my Great-Grandmother's old Mason jars. In one of them is homemade laundry soap, likely made back in the 30's-40's. It doesn't smell like anything and is surprisingly still loose - no clumps! It doesn't smell like anything at all, but Borax and Fels Naptha came to...- beaucaillou

New Ladies and Gents Step Forward
Shady Dell!! I just had friends that stayed at your fair place and had a wonderful time. Since then, we have been threatening to meet up down there - - such a great idea and it looks just *lovely*. I hope the SW F'Loungers go and meet there. So glad to see you in the Lounge. Welcome and good...- beaucaillou

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Last night Husband and I rewatched 'In America,' for St. Patrick's Day. It isn't standing up to time as much as I wish it would, but it's still great and painful and beautiful.- beaucaillou

Spectator Shoes
My husband has a gorgeous pair of Allen Edmonds that are leather wingtips with the upper (inside the wingtip cut) being natural canvas. They are stunning. I always want him to find another pair because he can wear them three seasons here, though perforated leather would be sweet too. Here they...- beaucaillou

What Did You Drink Last Night?
2006 St. Innocent 'Justice Vineyard' Pinot Noir. Too young of course, but I'm always curious about St. Innocent. I decided it is sort of the Laurence Olivier of Oregon Pinot; enigmatic, but profoundly masculine despite the passionate nature of its being. I always think of St. Innocent as...- beaucaillou

The Prisoner
It's a genius show. I still watch it through each year and it never remotely becomes stale - - rare a show can maintain that much vitality and presence despite time's pesky habit of moving forward. bendingoak, that is wonderful.

Question for Bourbon-ites: Eagle Rare Substitute?
As far as the smoothness and cocoa notes, if you still want to expand from Eagle Rare, Pappy Van Winkle's 12 and 15 would be a great transition. More fruity than the Eagle, but with a satisfying, silky finish. Also the Woodford or even Buffalo Trace. Have fun!- beaucaillou

Hats at Barneys New York.
That's pretty terrible. I like to think they usually make up for offerings such as that. Their ties are lovely and their women's shoes and jewelry, but sheesh - - that hat has some answering for.- beaucaillou

How to get pale, luminous skin?
For real, what happened to Shiseido? As recently as 6 years ago I can remember seeing them prominently in Sephora and major, high-end Dept. stores, but it's like their marketing absolutely vanished. Their mascara was constantly rated among the best by 'Allure' magazine. I can't understand...- beaucaillou
