Open(er) Comments

I had apparently set the blog comment restrictions to Google only, rather than OpenID (which includes a bunch of systems), so I just fixed that.

'cause I know y'all have been clamoring to comment and just didn't want to register.

(I'd make the comments completely open, but even this little crapblog gets spam.)

In honor of the changes, here's an open thread entry. Talk about whatever.

  1. First!

    Aw, crap. Damn pointy breasters!

  2. Don't ya just hate it when one commenter monopolizes the thread. (I should mention that I actually did LOL on seeing this.)

    In the course of looking around to see if either of the lead actresses in "Night Life of the Gods" might have been a member of the pointy-breasted set, I came across this portfolio of Ziegfeld girls, one of whom is Peggy Shannon, who played Daphne in the movie. Nothing pointy here at all, it was not the style at the time, but some very pretty faces.

    Still hoping to see an actual review from you of "Night Life."

  3. I hate to dominate a thread but sometimes I can't help myself. Witness the Brett Farve thread on Althouse today where devovled into Brussel Sprouts. Yeech.

  4. Hector,

    I went to order the thing and I couldn't figure out what I was getting. VHS...DVD...Beta...Laser disc? I know we talked about it but I couldn't remember what you said....

    Would a New York Times review do?

  5. Troop--

    I've been trying to remember who won the superbowl this year, and I just can't seem to.

    Can you help?

  7. Glad you liked them. Our great-grandmothers were young and fresh and beautiful, once. And in the eternity of data storage and photographs, they always will be. Louise Brooks looked especially, ah, minx-y in that set. I thought.

  10. Actually, I think my grandmother was a tramp. (She was a flapper.) My other grandmother was precocious, I think, but not a floozy.

    Is that wrong? I gotta be honest here.

  11. Ah...Louise Brooks...maybe the only woman who really looked hot in a pageboy.

    I used to think Demi Moore looked good with the short hair but I saw bits of Ghost recently and though she was ... kinda manly.

    'course, she was standing next to Swayze, so...

  13. The styles of beauty come and go … in the Renaissance days, and earlier, the high forehead, that on a man would be called a receding hairline, was all the rage; for instance. The bangs of a pageboy are a great way to hide a high forehead, if that's what you want to do.

  14. Hey, you don't have to go tht far back to find a high forehead.
