Well, you've read the notes, you are ready for the last of February and the first of March, and now it is time for you to post until the namely cows come home.

And the word of the day is: DOTATION!

Favorite clothing styles? The 1920s and 1940s. I don't know why I like them like I do...I don't know why, I just do.

George · « **Reply #3 on:** February 28, 2006, 12:30:21 AM »

Goodnight, all!

Tomovoz · « **Reply #4 on:** February 28, 2006, 12:31:34 AM »

Yep..Bring back style.. If the movies really reflect that period's style DR George - I'd go for those years too.

I also like the Rock and Roll years of the late fifties!

I like the thirties...double-breasted suits. Tails and white ties. Elegance, panache. More importantly actually dressing when you went out for dinner or the theatre. We still had some sense of personal style beyond just the clothes we wore.

If you're wondering what I'm doing up at this ungodly hour, I've got a cold and can't sleep. After six months of buying and selling houses, moving, packing and unpacking, furniture buying, bookshelf building, and taking my first business trip to LA, my body has finally told itself: "You've held together long enough, time to let go, let your defenses down, feel free to get sick."

Either that or it was the loser hacking on that petrie dish of an airplane back from LA.

Only thing is: I hate being sick, I hate the common cold worse than anything. It's always three days coming, three days there, and three days going. When I was taking garlic capsules regularly, I never seemed to get colds and on the rare occasion when I did, it was gone in three days.

I'm dosing myself with garlic and some pills The Lovely Wife has given me, but I'm still miserably annoyed with this thing. I am sleeping in the library, so as not to infect The Lovely Wife who is only nine days away from opening as Lady Bracknell.

Tomorrow I will begin dosing myself with some Lem-sip from our cache, but said cache is limited and I've yet to find anyone locally, in any English or Irish gift shop that carries this marvel of a British remedy, so I must use it sparingly, in case The Lovely Wife should follow my lead and also get afflicted with this crud. Why we don't have the equivalent of Lem-sip on this side of the pond baffles me. It is the best stuff.

So pray for Rosemary's runny nose, send health vibes, and any other sure-fire remedies that may eradicate this thing from my body and keep the wife from getting it.

I shall now...futilely...try to snatch a few more hours of uncomfortable, stuffy sleep.

Feel better vibes for DR CP.

I think I remember at the time that Lance and Brian were related but then read in an interview with Brian that they were not. It was just the same last name and that they had similar coloring, but that they were not related.

And I liked BEGGARS AND CHOOSERS as well. And James at 15/16 was a nice show.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #9 on:** February 28, 2006, 04:57:05 AM »

I have to work today, so I won't be around. Too many family emergencies.

Congrats on the Tony Dow interview, DRMBARNUM....you know of course that the interior/exterior of the second house of the series was the house from a couple of Rock Hudson movies, John Saxon's movies UNGUARDED MOMENT, ROCK PRETTY BABY, and SUMMER LOVE, and ended up being the Marcus Welby house/office for manys seasons. It was also just down the street from the Munster house. And not too far from the Bates Motel. You might ask him if Gilbert Bates was really named after Norman because they were both so creepy.

Last night I watched CARAVAN - a Bollywood movie that I enjoyed very much. They spent an excruciating 25 minutes setting up a complex plot....then forgot all about the plot for 1 hour and 33 minutes while everyone sang and danced - and then spent another 45 minutes tying up the plot threads, while everyone sang and danced and got shot.

And it was in COLOR!!

I think, as George mentioned, the 20s and the 40s both had style and good looking fashion. The 70s and 80s produced some of the ugliest fashions in recent memory (although some stuff from the 60s creep in there as well).

Jrand73 · « **Reply #12 on:** February 28, 2006, 05:29:42 AM »

Oh I forgot the TOD!

I agree with the previous posters that the 30's and 40's had some great styles. And I like the idea of dressing up for special evenings as well.

I will cast my vote for 1958-1960. The clothes worn by Doris and Rock and Tony in PILLOW TALK and Lana Turner in IMITATION OF LIFE. MIDNIGHT LACE and THE RELUCTANT DEBUTANTE and THIS HAPPY FEELING - INDISCREET and NORTH BY NORTHWEST. All of those nice suits and beautiful dresses with fur trim and wild prints and fitted skirts with kick pleats and hats....and evening gowns and tuxedoes and white dinner jackets.....

Like this:

I guess my taste is the same as Ross Hunter's - except when it comes to LOST HORIZON.

My hips and I are longing for the return of the hoop skirt...

~~~Health Vibes~~~ for DR Charles Pogue

I suggest Alka Seltzer Cold medicine (orange flavored)

vixmom · « **Reply #16 on:** February 28, 2006, 06:21:45 AM »

Oh and good news for all you DR's who have carelessly lost weight recently... I seemed to have found it! Please come and collect same at your earliest convenience

vixmom · « **Reply #17 on:** February 28, 2006, 06:43:25 AM »

Just caught up with yesterday

Vibes to Tomovoz's poor flooded friend...having lived through a sdimilar incident (although in my case I was lucky enough that it was "just water") I know how heartbreaking it is to lose treasured keepsakes... clothes and appliances can be replaced but photos and letters and things... gosh. I hope he is able to salvage those items that are dearest to his heart

vixmom · « **Reply #18 on:** February 28, 2006, 06:45:07 AM »

JOY... ~~~VIBES~~~~ that everyone is on their best wedding behavior and if not, think of the lovely "made for TV " movie script you can get out of it....

vixmom · « **Reply #19 on:** February 28, 2006, 06:45:39 AM »

I want to know how Tony Dow is responsible for Ron Howard "existing"!!!

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #20 on:** February 28, 2006, 06:50:26 AM »

Good Morning!

I would have posted last night after the concert, but I was having internet connection issues, so...

Better late than never...

FJL · « **Reply #21 on:** February 28, 2006, 06:55:00 AM »

VIXMOM - As Jane said, it's Dennis Weaver who's responsible for Ron Howard existing, not Tony Dow. Does that clear that up?

FJL · « **Reply #22 on:** February 28, 2006, 06:57:16 AM »

Favorite clothing styles - what Ricky Martin is wearing in those photos of him exercising on the beach with his friend

Dang... Tony Dow is responsible for something... oh now I remember... breaking DR Jane's friend's heart... the rat

So how is Dennis Weaver reponsible for Ron Howard?

FJL · « **Reply #25 on:** February 28, 2006, 07:00:52 AM »

Vixmom - Am I allowed to tell, or is it for Jane to reveal it since she started this little brain teaser?

FJL · « **Reply #26 on:** February 28, 2006, 07:01:46 AM »

I don't know that rule of HHW netiquette.

Tuesday greetings! Thanks for asking, DR Vixmom - I'm fine, Richard is just getting up, and we haven't heard anything regarding MiL (no news is good news in that department). We had a much more restful night last night than the one before.
