Burning Question: Got Any Burning Questions?
We've loved getting your read on quite a few surprisingly controversial subjects over the years (from whether you prefer wood or carpeted floors in the bedroom to which way you like to dispense your toilet paper).
Some topics elicited way more responses than we ever thought possible (like this chatter about how early is too early to decorate for the holidays). While others got unexpectedly heated (who knew there were such strongly opposing views when it came to being pro or anti cul-de-sac?).
So now our big question is: got any more questions?
It's not really that we're "out" per se. There are always about a million things to ask, from what upholstery fabric you prefer (velvet? chenille? microfiber? duck?) to whether you like sofas or sectionals better (and why). But we thought it was about time that we asked you guys what big important home-related conundrums are plaguing you so we could officially add them to our roster of Burning Questions.
So what say you our curious readers? Is anyone out there dying to discuss the pros and cons of slate roofing vs. metal or asphalt ones? Anyone else wondering if a wood deck or a stone patio is more popular among our bevy of opinionated readers? Just comment on this post with any and all home or decor related burning questions (general ones where everyone can chime in, like "this vs. that"- nothing too personal to your house or your sitch) and we'll do our best to address as many as we can moving forward. Sounds like a good time, eh?

You may have done these and I just missed them somehow, but if not, here are a couple:
Leather furniture or not? (especially for those people with animals in the house)
Stainless steel appliances or not (especially with those with little kiddos with sticky fingers everywhere!)
Clear or opaque storage containers?
Dark wood floors and furniture or light? (like maple wood vs. oak)
Got carpeting, want rugs. Rug ON carpet? Hmm.
I don't think this topic has been covered, but I'd LOVE to see a discussion on giant flat-screen TV's – conceal/minimize or display proudly? Maybe also including creative budget-friendly ideas to conceal or minimize. My husband and I differ on this of course. Even though I love watching our new 52″ flatscreen LCD TV, I personally can't stand seeing a giant black screen as soon as you walk into the room (with our open floor plan, you see it when you walk in the front door). I used to have a beautiful armoire to conceal our old TV, but alas our new one is too big and I can't afford another giant piece of furniture. I have a fireplace in the room too, so I am trying to devise ways to move the focal point away from the giant black screen. ?
What is your favorite household tip?
Mine is that if you apply shaving cream to your bathroom mirror, it does not fog up…and no, it doesn't streak upon application.
oh, the rug ON carpet one that Laura suggested is good! I have been debating that one too!
I am about to be a first time home owner! I have approximately 10000 projects in mind, but one of the first things I want to tackle is the front yard/driveway.
Any thoughts on cost-efficient paving options?…. is gravel a bad idea (I'm in Houston)? Any experience with porous pavers like the Geoweb?
Have you – or any of your readers – ever used a hardwood floor refinishing product that can help cover over dulling, scratched hardwoods that have survived kids/pets, without having to sand & refinish entirely? (Essentially looking for a rec on a clear top coat that will create shine, dry within a few hours, and restore some life without the huge investment of having the floors entirely re-done.) Thanks!!
Dogs in the house? I say yes, but am curious how many people out there think it's a bad idea (I know my sister is one of the naysayers).
I have one: wall-stickers yes or not?
These are nice:
How do you feel about leather furniture, especially with the baby coming? Yay or nay?
Oooh how about wood trim? Almost every I know has painted white trim now, but I think there are also people out there who want to keep the original wood tones. Might be an interesting topic.
You could also ask people what design trend they have done in the past and now regret. For example, I didn't do this, but the previous owners of my house have some wall paper trim and had some cheesy wall stencils of some grape vines going up the stairs. They also put popcorn texture on the bathroom walls. On the walls! Not the ceiling, but all the walls. Ugh.
I have decided that carpet is totally out of the picture when the house remodel is done . . . this includes great room, bedrooms, hallway, entry, kitchen,office, formal sitting area. I'll go with area rugs. I cannot do hardwood because of a certain Golden Retriever. . . so it's laminate. Is there big differences in brands, pricing, etc. as to the quality & durability of this stuff. Seems to be a lot of options out there and if you were me, where would you start looking?
Hanging things on plaster walls… especially heavy items.
My question – how does one earn a place on your Link Love list? :)
When painting a room…accent wall or not? This debate caused a war between my aunt (who wanted an accent wall) and my uncle (who didn't) when they remodeled their bathroom. My cousins and I were quite entertained when they would sneak in the bathroom and repaint the wall while the other was sleeping/at work/gone shopping/etc.
1) Bedskirts: yea or nay (or switch to bottom mattress covers and achieve a cleaner appearance?)
2) Sleeper Sofas: Back Nightmares or worth the investment for a good one? (like the AU sleeper sofa sold at Macy's)
3) Affordable chaise lounge for master bedroom, one stylish and comfortable chair & ottoman or two chairs? another related question: how many of you "use" your master bedroom as a retreat together or does just one of you usually use the extra chair for reading?
4)Desks: pros and cons of corner desks, parsons desks, armoir/cabinet desks?
5)Regrets: you got the item on your wish list, finally, and it just wasn't what you thought it would be. What was it? And how did you live with that or turn it around?
6)Furniture Finishes that have staying power — you'll like them today and 15 years from now because they are versatile, never out of style,etc. (white oak, mohoganey, gray or white furniture,etc)
7)Mirrors in decorating: how to use them most effectively
Window treatments – I have wood – slated shades and shades on all windows in house. I have been contemplating doing draperies. Take down the shades all together or can I layer? Shades and drapes? Are shades still "in"? Thanks.
For Katie "Have you – or any of your readers – ever used a hardwood floor refinishing product that can help cover over dulling, scratched hardwoods that have survived kids/pets, without having to sand & refinish entirely? (Essentially looking for a rec on a clear top coat that will create shine, dry within a few hours, and restore some life without the huge investment of having the floors entirely re-done.) Thanks!!"
– I've heard really good things about Bona, as long as there was a sealer coat on the floor to begin with. And it's supposed to be an eco-friendly option to boot!
Oooh, the exposed wood vs painted wood is a good one. I think that one tends to fall along gender lines…but I'd be curious to see.
Trim – white? wood? should it match the cabinets throughout the house?
Landscape or Desertscape?
I'd love to see a poll added to the topics if you can do that. While some obviously invite more discussion, some it would be interesting to see a breakdown of votes (like the TP question).
I'd love to know what you guys do with unwanted gifts-i.e. clutter- do you store it somewhere? Is it ok to give it away? Between wedding gifts and various holidays I have half a closet of porcelain statues, crystal figurines,etc. that I'll never use or display and haven't the slightest clue what to (politely) do with them!
Also, I'd love to see more about how you guys live a "minimalist" lifestyle. I loved loved the "less is more" post you did a while back. Especially with baby coming :)
Kitchen back splashes–necessary or unnecessary? You guys don't have one, correct? Our kitchen is new, but small and needs a wow factor.

GamesBeat Summit is invite-only -- apply here. Ticket prices increase on April 3rd! Twitter has added localized trends for 100 new cities, improving its capability to show people the buzziest news and hashtags being discussed on the information network in locations around the world. The new cities include Istanbul, Frankfurt, Guadalajara, Mexico, and Incheon, South Korea. "With this update, we now surface the 'most breaking' news in more than 200 locations," Twitter engineer Kostas Tsioutsiouliklis wrote in a blog post. Trends, formerly called "trending topics," has changed in significance and purpose over the years. Today, the trends list factors less into the overall information network experience, but it still serves as an interesting indicator of what people are talking globally or more close to home. The addition of trends in 100 more cities may also bring in a bit more dough. With Twitter's Promoted Trends product, companies and marketers can pay to sponsor a term or hashtag and get it atop the Trends list. One hundred more cities means one hundred more markets where Twitter can sell these units and appeal to local advertisers who want to reach city-specific audiences.

|A day hike, sometime in June 2002
|As I reached the Linville Falls area while traveling along the Parkway, I decided to check out the Linville Gorge Wilderness. I bought a good map and went for a long hike.
I parked less than a mile north of Hawksbill Mountain. I followed a trail - according to my map it was 244 - down into the gorge, crossed the Linville river and followed the good path on the right hand side. Further downstream, I hopped a couple of rocks to cross the river again and hiked via the Spence Ridge trail and the Little Tablerock trail to Tablerock summit, before returning to my car via the Mountain-to-Sea trail. Nice view from the summit, and quite a few other people out there. Didn't find any sea though ;-).

This was the last stop before heading back to the Babel Tower Trail on our "Eastern Rim2Rim2Rim" hike in the Gorge. First stop of the day was Babel Tower. After hitting Babel Tower we continued onto Spence Ridge, to Little Table Rock Trail and up to Table Rock. We came down Spence Ridge and back out Babel Tower Trail. A really tough but awesome day.

|I was impressed by this mountain. The mountains in the east are somewhat the same in that they are entirely covered with trees and are less exposed than rocky western summits. Table Rock is a refreshing exception to both of these generalizations.

Date Climbed: Sep 22, 2007
|Table Rock offers spectacular views of the Gorge below and Hawksbill Mountain. Unlike many of the other highpoints I have visited in the South, Table Rock had a number of visitors on its summit. Perhaps this was due to the unusually warm and dry weather we have been experiencing in East Tennessee/Western Carolina. For solitude and equally breathtaking views, I recommend Sitting Bear.

Six million lbs of explosives discovered in Louisiana
Doyline, LA is being evacuated after the discovery of illegally stored high explosives, some six million pounds, were discovered following an explosion in one of the outer storage sites. Holy Cow! Sacred Poop!
Here is a link that might be useful: Hope this is not a Second Amendment issue
When I was a kid, we used to hike up to the high altitude abandoned gold, silver, lead/zinc mines. Since they were only accessible by hoofing a few thousand vertical feet over rough terrain, few people ever went there. So we'd go up and scrounge around for mineral samples, old tools, etc. We'd often find old sticks of dynamite and blasting caps. Never blew anything up, though. I still have collection of a couple dozen old rail spikes of all different sizes from those mines.
/you know how glass turns blue in the sun over the years, and intact bottles are worth a small fortune to collectors? We used to find them by the dozen, and break 'em up for the h*ll of it.
Explo Systems Explo Systems is a 7-year old, veteran-owned small business located on the former Louisiana Army Ammunition Plant (LAAP)
Explo's management has been demilitarizing / recovering explosives / propellant for over 15 years.
Explo has a unique, on-site capability for purifying valuable TNT from tritonal for reuse.
Explo is compliant with DOD safety regulations and uses only proven, environmentally-safe technologies in recycling operations
Cajuns had that stored for next 4th. :-)
And no, it's NOT covered by the 2nd amendment. In fact, explosives are highly illegal without the right permits and licenses which can only be obtained after documenting proper training and intense back ground check.
"Nobody can tell you what 6 million pounds of explosives would do if it went up," Edmondson said in a telephone interview. "And I don't want to find out."
This is a classic case of cost externalization.
Government will now be taking the actions a company like this should have been taking over the last 15 years, and taxpayers will be paying for the work.
Well, duh, the government/military procurement/logistics agencies had to have prior knowledge, allowing the company to acquire "decommissioned" shells and take over the decommissioned weapons station to extract tnt from the explosives. Local people must have had some employment with the company or other economic links to the operation. Suddenly everyone is struck dumb and claims myopia.
I hope they don't shut them down those are job opportunities being lost. Dismantling explosives is something that needs to be done can't just dump the crap in the Gulf like an oil clean up (sarcasm aside that stuff needed to be broken down & this was a company that was supposed to do it) Looks like they bit off more than they could chew maybe be they were in Korea looking for temporary guest workers to come to Louisiana to dismantle it. After all you can't let prisoners get their hands on the kind of material!
Some questions regarding Explo: Where was this material obtained? If from the military, why was this work outsourced in the first place. Shouldn't the military be keeping track of these explosives and seeing that they are stored and disposed of in a safe and environmentally-friendly (as much as possible) manner. If from law enforcement, perhaps there could be a cooperative arrangement where explosives are handled by goverment employees - state, county, or municipal.
Just one lightning strike away from KaBoom

yeah demi...but that would put some oomph in the bonfires on the levee this Christmas Eve lol. Papa Noel would surely find his way, and Gaston might end up as an alligator handbag lol
"An' I hear him shout loud as a splashin' he go, "Merry Christmas to all 'til I saw you some mo'!"-J.B. Kling, Jr.
I guess no one hear the Presidents fair well Dick Luger speech about disassembling weapon by weapon bomb by bomb. (he was speaking about nuclear but the same applies)
I does take time & it can't be done like your cutting up chicken for market but it can't be handled this way either.
Pantex is a limited Liability Corp (Bechtel) that was decommissioning or may still be decommissioning NUKES in Texas.
This has to be done somewhere by some one but this kind of non supervised mess is ridiculous!

A New Low Chill Cherry?
Has anyone heard about a new low chill cherry called Royal Marie?
I see other Royal cherries listed on their commercial catalog but not this cherry.
Maybe some poster who has tasted it can shed some light on it.
Does anyone know the time frame between when a variety is patented until it becomes available to purchase?
Here is a link that might be useful: PATENT DOCUMENT
There is no assurance this will ever be released to even commercial growers much less to us retail customers. Most commercial lines aren't released retail. DWN actually does try to release only the best eating fruit retail. But if it has commercial potential then it probably won't be released retail until the patent expires. This is to help avoid it being stolen and sent to China or elsewhere.
There are many older low chill cherry varieties that haven't been released retail. See the four earliest maturing cherries linked below.
Here is a link that might be useful: DWN cherries
I see what you guys are saying since I spent all last night researching fruit tree patents and there are many trees that were patented that have not been released. Although I found it interesting that Royal Tioga was patented in 2012 and has already been put on DWN website. In my research Royal Tioga was very interesting since according to the patent it is self fertile and heavy bearing as well as low chill.ery interesting stuff is going on with Zaiger, hopefully to the benefit of the fruit growing community.

Made in Chelsea – Series 5, Episode 10
Polo season is upon us, as are the preparations the cast of Made in Chelsea must make to impress the opposite sex at such equine events.
Stallion Spencer is one step ahead of the game, having already managed to snare Lucy the mare as his girlfriend.
Proudlock and Francis seem to take the pre-polo preparations very seriously (unlike the rest of the slackers who swan off to Barcelona) by channeling the Zen and running sun-kissed through Battersea Park with a group of above-average twenty-somethings.
Proudlock even generously decides to meditate topless, before trying to impress new girl Bea by telling her "I love to play polo in Barbados".
Ha! All those novelty animal prints and earrings aren't fooling anyone anymore. There is a rampant Ralph Lauren chino-wearing persona hidden behind that painfully put on Shoreditch exterior after all.
Obviously Francis also likes to dabble in a bit of polo, but such things are to be expected from a man who flies out to Ghana on a business jaunt (in episode seven) to visit the vestiges of colonialism.
It also transpires old Boulle likes a bit of yoga, and in a true moment of enlightenment he proved himself to be the only character to have even a scrap of sense about the underworld of dating.
When Proudster probes him about his lack of activity since Sophia, he replies, legs in lotus position: "I'm trying to push past all these frivolous relationships and seek enlightenment- if the right girl comes along and it feels right, it will be right."
We can at least take some solace in the fact the right girl has come along for Spencer. Lucy Watson is his self-satisfied, conniving counterpart, and it's hard to disagree that the two aren't made for each other.
So much so I felt a pang when Lucy said yes and the two kissed on the Barca balcony. The game playing is over. I guess we were rooting for the two hugely unlikeable characters to get together all along (although never to the same extent as Francis and Sophia. Sob).
But the course of love never did run smooth, even for two such well-suited egoists. Sure enough something is already brewing in camp Luc-er (just an 'if' away from Lucifer) as Watson is unhappy with the number of people who have already warned her that Spenny might cheat on her.
And watch Spencer twist her words just as he did to my-little-pony Louise, claiming he is going through an ordeal "having to deal with" the fact that people are warning her about his rogue past sexual infidelities.
He has admitted he's falling in love with Lucy though, and she gave a slight nod of agreement. Though that nod with the half-open lips and glint of self-congratulation in her eye looked much more like she was in love with being loved.
Still, at least she can take something from the fact that Spencer will never cheat on her because he "respects her". For now.
There are still two more episodes to go and I'm predicting a lot more turbulence if the series is to reach its usual crescendo in the finale.
Will it turn out Spencer cheated with Phoebe in Louise's bed? Will Louise beg Spencer to get back with her? Or will Jamie finally realise it's he, not Spencer, who's not ready to be in a relationship?Tagged in: #Imready, Jamie Laing, Laid in Chelsea, Lucy, made in chelsea, Proudlock, Spencer

1999 Toyota 4Runner Overview
Overall User Score
Based on 18 reviews
Want some free advice? *Never* break up with someone on the second day of a 10-day trip, especially when you're traveling through a place with no easy exits or airports. Not the best idea. However, if this does happen to you, hope you are traveling around in a 1999 Toyota 4Runner (as I was when I broke up with my then-boyfriend).
Why is the 4Runner a good car to ride around with an ex in? It's incredibly roomy inside—almost cavernous. Get the stereo pumping, and you will hardly notice the other person is there. And, if you decide to rekindle old flames, the back seat is plenty big. (Just kidding. Well, it might be, but we didn't exactly get there.)
In all seriousness, the 1999 4Runner is a very comfortable SUV with car-like amenities. The seats are comfortable and seem to cradle the back as one would expect from a sportier vehicle. My ex's SUV was the Limited trim, and a 3.4-liter V6 came standard.
Reviewers cite poor gas mileage as a problem but, as is typical for the 4Runner, praise its dependability and off-road capabilities.

How to cap off live wires?
We had a hard-wired motion-sensor floodlight outdoors attached to the house that stopped working so we had to remove it in order to return it to the store for exchange or to choose a different model. The wiring is not on a light switch or anything, it's just on all the time. After removing the light fixture we are left with just live electrical wires. What should we do to make those wires safe for a few days until we buy and install the new motion sensor light?
I tried to put plastic caps on the 3 wires (black, white and copper) but I'm afraid they are not on tight and could fall off. I also bent the wires up so hopefully the little caps will stay on....Obviously I am a novice so please reply in layman's terms. Thanks!
Thanks so much. I did cap them off but the caps seemed loose. Maybe I can just screw them on tighter so they won't come off. I wish I knew if that is the only thing on one breaker, but I don't, especially since the light that was on there stopped working. I really appreciate your replies - I'll make sure it's safe today and tighten those caps! Except not the copper one - ha.

Patterns in Vogue: Striking Gold
December 24, 2014 § 2 Comments
"Striking Gold," a 1979 editorial by the late Deborah Turbeville, includes a two-page Vogue Patterns spread that has a festive sparkle.
Turbeville's photo shows four seated models dressed in shimmery charmeuse and lamé; two wear off-the-rack clothing. The two featured patterns (at centre and far right) were made up in gold-pistachio lamé from Bloomingdale's (click to enlarge):
The patterns are Vogue 2105 by Christian Dior and Very Easy Vogue 2182 by Oscar de la Renta.
You can see the rest of the shoot at Sighs and Whispers (larger scans at the Fashion Spot).
Happy holidays, everyone!
Krizia Playsuit – McCall's 6624
September 30, 2014 § 9 Comments
It's officially fall now, but the recent warm weather gave Naomi and me the chance to photograph my late 1970s Krizia playsuit, made using McCall's 6624. (See my post on Krizia patterns here).
The playsuit bodice and shorts are pleated into a pointed, one-piece midriff band, and the whole thing closes at the front with a zipper and buttons. I love the shaped side vents on the shorts.
I used a black glitter stretch knit from my stash, found at Fabricland's old downtown location. The pattern needed extensive resizing. Due to the mid-1970s unofficial sizing change (thanks to Peter for drawing my attention to this) the 10 was fine on top. (That's my copy on the wiki.) I added some ease to the midriff band and adjusted the bodice and shorts to match up to it. I also lengthened the rise, added to the crotch length, and slashed to add some room in the hips. Yes, it's a stretch knit, but I was trying to be faithful to the ease of the original.
This was my first time sewing a McCall's "Carefree" pattern, and I found the instructions involved a little guesswork. I have also made up a '70s Vogue pattern with similar design elements—midriff band, pleated dirndl skirt—and can vouch for Vogue's more extensive markings and instructions. The McCall's didn't even have markings for the buttonholes. I carefully followed Vogue Sewing Book's buttonhole instructions, but I suspect I made them too big. Perhaps vertical buttonholes would solve the problem?
If I were to make the playsuit again, I would add markings to the midriff piece to help line up the side seams etc., and also ease stitch across all the pleats (rather than just hand basting) to keep everything in place. The instructions say to finish the shorts with a narrow hem; I couldn't see that working with my knit and the shaped side vents, so I did my best to mimic a serger finish (zigzag, trim, topstitch) and pressed the sides into relative submission. If I were making it again I would use fusible stay tape.
We photographed the playsuit by a local graffiti mural by Anser and Chou.
The sparkle only shows up close:
Here's a view of the back pleats:
The playsuit is so strappy, short, and unstructured that it falls more into the realm of loungewear. It's a bit more practical when worn with a coverup.

August 28, 2014 § 5 Comments
Krizia was already an established label when McCall's licensed Krizia patterns in the late 1970s. Designer Mariuccia Mandelli (b. 1933) co-founded the company with her friend Flora Dolci in the 1950s, naming it after Plato's unfinished dialogue Κριτίας (Critias)—Crizia in Italian. The label is known for eclectic, youthful designs that play with pattern and contrast. (For recent coverage of the brand and its influence see the W article, Crazy for Krizia.)
From spring 1979, this two-page spread in L'Officiel shows three Krizia trouser ensembles featuring magenta, orange, and fuchsia satins (click to enlarge):
This Krizia sweater set (short-sleeved pullover, bolero, and skirt) appeared in a Vogue editorial on the new knitwear:
Between 1979 and 1981, McCall's released a number of Krizia patterns, including a few children's patterns. Here's a selection of Krizia patterns for women's wear.
McCall's 6624 is a bias wrap skirt and playsuit with shorts and bodice pleated into a midriff band:
McCall's 6629 combines a short-sleeved, V-neck bodysuit with a midi-length trouser skirt and wrap shorts:
This pattern is a set of four tops for stretch knits:
McCall's 6805 is Krizia's take on the wrap dress, with soft pleats at the shoulder and neckline and lightly puffed sleeves in long and three-quarter lengths:
This sleek skirt suit, reminiscent of AMC's Halt and Catch Fire, pairs a straight skirt with a fitted jacket with shaped hemline and two-piece sleeves with pleated caps. The notched collar has an optional lapel buttonhole:
From 1980, this casual summer ensemble includes bias shorts or culottes and two tops trimmed with tubular knit:
The more formal McCall's 7307 is a pattern for polished separates: a jacket with two-piece sleeves, skirt in 2 lengths, and flowing, cuffed pants with matching camisole:
Just for fun, here are two more images from Krizia's Fall 1979 advertising campaign, photographed by Barry Ryan:
Coming soon: my version of the Krizia playsuit.
Vintage Designer Menswear: Vogue Patterns
June 15, 2014 § 5 Comments
It's been some time since Vogue offered designer menswear patterns. In the 1970s and 1980s, home sewers could choose from licensed designs for everything from men's shirts to outerwear and three-piece suits. In celebration of Father's Day, here's a selection of vintage menswear patterns from Vogue Patterns.
Vogue introduced designer menswear patterns in the early 1970s with designs by Bill Blass and Pierre Cardin. From Cardin, Vogue 2918 is a double-breasted coat in two lengths:
1975 saw the release of some his-and-hers Valentino patterns. Vogue 1180, a men's jacket and pants pattern, was photographed with a women's Valentino ensemble, Vogue 1178:
Polo by Ralph Lauren was introduced to Vogue customers in the summer of 1975. The safari-style Vogue 1237 and 1238 were photographed in India:
Also by Polo Ralph Lauren, Vogue 1581 is a double-breasted trench coat with detachable lining:
This Christian Dior shirt-jacket and pants is the only men's Dior pattern I've seen:
This snappy three-piece suit is by Bill Blass:
There were two menswear patterns by Yves Saint Laurent: safari suits photographed by Chris von Wangenheim (see Paco's related post here):
Givenchy licensed a trim three-piece suit, Vogue 2112:
In 1979 the company released a trio of menswear patterns by Calvin Klein—separate patterns for a shirt, jacket, and pants. Vogue 2256 is a pattern for slim, tapered men's pants; view B is low-rise and flat-front:
The menswear releases tapered off in the 1980s. 1980 saw the release of two Bill Blass men's patterns, for a three-piece suit and close-fitting shirt:
In 1988 Vogue released three menswear patterns by Perry Ellis, for a jacket, shirt, and pants. Vogue 2207 is a loose-fitting jacket:
Just for fun, I'll close with this Pierre Cardin robe and pajamas, which included a logo appliqué:
With menswear sales catching up with womenswear, perhaps Vogue Patterns will capitalize on this trend by restoring menswear to its designer licensing. I'd be first in line for a Saint Laurent pattern…
Happy Father's Day!
Billie Blair
February 27, 2014 § 4 Comments
Born in Flint, Michigan, Billie Blair (b. 1946) worked as a model at the Detroit Auto Show before becoming one of the highest-paid fashion models of the 1970s. Moving to New York City, she got a job at Halston and soon found success as an editorial and runway model. Blair was among the African-American models at the historic 1973 fundraising event, Le Grand Divertissement à Versailles, known today as the Battle of Versailles. (The event was the subject of a recent documentary by Deborah Riley Draper, Versailles '73: American Runway Revolution [2012)].)
Billie Blair may be seen on a number of Vogue designer patterns from the mid-1970s. Here she wears a tweed skirt suit and pussy-bow blouse by Oscar de la Renta; this design was marked as 'suitable for knits':
Stan Herman designed this casual hooded top, skirt, and pants. The illustration shows some American Hustle-worthy aviator shades:
Here Blair wears a girlish, vintage-style ensemble by Nina Ricci, a cream-coloured dress with matching cape:
From Jean Patou, this maxi dress may date to the period when the young Jean Paul Gaultier was assistant designer. Blair brings out the glamour of this haute couture loungewear:
In Vogue Patterns' 1975 holiday issue, Jerry Hall wears the Patou dress while Blair models an off-the-shoulder party dress in an editorial devoted to evening sparkle (the headline reads, "Be a Star the Vogue Way"):
Here she models a fabulous, evening-length Dior caftan with piped neckline:
This Nina Ricci separates pattern includes a poncho with shirttail hem, convertible collar, and big patch pockets:
Blair is the model on this rare pattern by Sonia Rykiel, Vogue 1378—check out the matching coral sandals:
Billie Blair's commanding presence and approach to modelling as performance don't seem too unusual today. But she was unconventional for the time, and even felt the need to under-report her age when she first became famous. A 1974 profile of Blair in People magazine says she is 22 years old and remarks on her size 9 feet. (In a letter to the editor, a high school classmate wondered how Blair had stayed 22 when her peers were 28.) She continued modelling into her thirties—here she appears in a dynamic 1978 Vogue shoot by Andrea Blanch:
DVF Wrap Dress 40th Anniversary
January 14, 2014 § 12 Comments
Diane von Fürstenberg's wrap dress celebrates its 40th anniversary this month. The famous dress, which officially made its debut in January, 1974, is being fêted with Journey of a Dress, an exhibition of 200 wrap dresses at the Wilshire May Company building in Los Angeles:
Von Fürstenberg relaunched her label in 1997 after realizing that her vintage wrap dresses were enjoying a new popularity among young women. The advertising campaign for the relaunch shows Danielle Z. in different wrap dresses, including this leopard print version (click the image for a style.com article with slideshow):
Vogue Patterns introduced Diane Von Furstenberg patterns with great fanfare in the fall of 1976. The designer herself modelled a wrap dress on the magazine cover, and there was even a special sew-in label and tie-in with Cohama fabrics. (More on the fabrics at The Vintage Traveler.)
The punning headline of the 1976 magazine feature, "The Princess and Her Prints," refers to her first marriage to Egon von Fürstenberg, of the Prussian princes of Fürstenberg (she capitalized the 'von' for her label):
Vogue's Diane Von Furstenberg patterns included several wrap dresses. The 1970s patterns were all in the Very Easy Vogue line, and most were for stretchable knits.
The long-sleeved Vogue 1548 may be worn in two ways, forward or backward. The young Renee Russo is the model:
Karen Bjornson models Vogue 1549, a wrap dress with buttoned cuffs and optional collar. This design also works for woven fabrics:
The following year Vogue Patterns released a half-size version for petites, Vogue 1679. The first set of patterns was photographed by Chris von Wangenheim:
Here's the back-wrap view of Vogue 1548 on the cover of the December catalogue:
Vogue 1610 may be made sleeveless or short-sleeved with faux cuffs. I've made this for Naomi, and it's incredibly versatile:
Vogue 1853 has full, cuffed sleeves in a choice of long or elbow length. Christie Brinkley modelled the long-sleeved version:
Vogue 2517, a colour-blocked, front-wrapped dress designed for two colour contrasts, was photographed by Patrick Demarchelier. (This one is technically a mock-wrap dress.) The model is Chris Royer:
Tara Shannon models Vogue 1486, an '80s wrap dress with pleated skirt, shaped hemline, and dolman sleeves:
Discussions of the DVF wrap dress always seem to centre on questions of contemporary femininity. Even the promotional bio on the envelope flap promises dressmakers they'll "feel like a woman":
This Vogue Patterns editorial photo of the Vogue 1610 wrap dress similarly promotes the idea of femininity in the workplace. With the caption "Soft Dressing for Hard Schedules," it shows Karen Bjornson, glasses in hand, being delivered flowers at the office:
I was tickled to learn that Amy Adams wears three Diane Von Furstenberg dresses in American Hustle—two vintage and one contemporary. Apparently David O. Russell was obsessed with the green print version worn by von Fürstenberg on the cover of Newsweek, and costume designer Michael Wilkinson was able to source the vintage original for the film (see Financial Times story with slideshow here, or click the image for a Variety costumes story with video):
Have you sewn from a Diane Von Furstenberg pattern?
Beverly Johnson
February 7, 2013 § 2 Comments
It's almost forty years since Beverly Johnson (b. 1952) became the first black woman to appear on the cover of American Vogue, in 1974. (Donyale Luna had appeared on the cover of British Vogue in 1966.) One of the decade's most successful models, Johnson had moved to New York City to pursue modelling after losing her summer job; she had been a pre-law student at Northeastern University.
To be accurate, Beverly Johnson was the first model of mixed black/Native American background to make the Vogue cover, as her father's ancestry is part Blackfoot (see story and slideshow at Vogue Italia). Whereas her first agent told her she would never make the cover of Vogue, Johnson also faced obstacles with "the leading black magazines, Ebony and Essence, [who] wouldn't put me on their covers at first, because I wasn't ethnic-looking enough" (read her recollection at Vogue online).
As far as I know, Johnson was also the first black model to be photographed for Vogue's designer patterns. Johnson's relationship with the pattern company seems to have begun the year before her first Vogue cover. This Sybil Connolly pattern, from October/November 1973, is the earliest pattern I've seen featuring her:
You can see an alternate shot on the cover of Singer's booklet, How to Fit Patterns:
These three designs featuring Johnson, by Ungaro and Bill Blass, were released in May 1974. Instead of their usual sandy-haired male model, Vogue 1011 pairs her with another black model:
Here she models for a McCall's pattern by Halston:
Johnson appears on several early Calvin Klein patterns, including this set of casual separates (in series with the pantsuit modelled by Angeleen Gagliano):
You may recognize these two patterns, from Dior and Balmain, which seem to have been quite popular:
In terms of high-profile, evening dress patterns, the only ones I could find featuring Johnson were these two, by Teal Traina and Belinda Bellville:
Beverly Johnson also modelled for Simplicity, as well as Vogue magazine's features on Vogue patterns. (Although Vogue Patterns was by then owned by Butterick, Vogue magazine continued to run editorials featuring Vogue patterns—see my Gia Carangi post for more.) Here Johnson appears in a 1972 advertisement for the Simplicity Catalog:
In this 1976 patterns feature, Johnson models linen tops with Karen Bjornson (the patterns, left to right, are Vogue 9544, Vogue 9635, and Vogue 9559):
In this Vogue shoot, Johnson's cardigan is Vogue 2924 by Fabiani:
The caftan shot at the top of this post is from a four-page patterns editorial photographed by Kourken Pakchanian. Here is the full editorial:
The patterns are: top left, Vogue 8585; top right, Vogue 8573; bottom left, Vogue 2881; bottom right, Vogue 8587. (The halter top, sarong, and bikini are all from V2881; the envelope photo shows deeply tanned, Caucasian models.) Corbis had the full image of Johnson in the V2881 bikini:
For a look inside Vogue's historic August 1974 issue with Beverly Johnson's cover, see Youthquaker's post here. There also some scans showing Johnson wearing 1974 Vogue designs here.

Common sense says: When you substitute People with machines,these things happen.
Folks, software has bugs. Is that news?
Some bugs are about use cases which the software engineers never encountered. So now we have a new use case - flash crash - which we didn't have before.
If you put trading in the hands of automated software which makes millisecond decisions, you have to think through how software engineering works.
Like it or not, we have just experienced the first computer based generated slump in the stock market. We can make conjectures all day and night. Do we acknowledged that there are people or soft-wear that have the power to enter numbers so great that they make the so called robust stock market falter? If so close the loop-hole.
Assuming the same mechanisms, if there had been a price spike would we be so interested or worried?
Good coverage of a complex phenomenon.The dynamics of this mini crash needs more explanation.Maybe a few hypothetical examples and a symbolic formulation-representation could be devised to illustrate the relationship between the variables: share price, volume, rate of price change,market share, electronic vs open call, specialist participation,regulatory mechanisms.More excessive state regulation may be imposed if the markets are unable to self regulate, and exposing maliciousness and or deceptiveness by traders whether electronic or otherwise should be a important focus of the Board of Governors of the exchanges.
Perhaps the Economist will re-visit this event when they have more facts, a real sequence of events, and less conjecture? This piece currently has more fluff than form
Whatever happened that day, there's material for so much reflection: from the statistics talking about the possibilities of such a "black swan" (the minuscule chances of all that selling trades happening at the same time) all the way to the structural one about the convenience of having market orders without a price bottom (or ceiling) without forgeting, of course, if writing a "b" instead of a "m" along "illion" can effectively be a cause for Armaggedon.
Whatever happened, it's such a shame Accenture didn't give a consultancy quick call suggesting to buy their $0.01 shares, if only for a brief time.

Can someone help diagnose Lychee Tree problem
Hi. I've been trying to grow Lychee tree's now for about a year in Maryland. It's become somewhat of an obsession now - to the point of my installing a fairly large growtent in room with high ceilings. I'm planning on eventually moving my lychee tree there for the winter but for now its outside.
I just bought this from Plantogram about 3 weeks ago. Came with all green leaves and a few new ones, in good condition and with a thick layer of newspaper covering the soil. Kept it inside for 3 days, then took it outside it the full sun on my deck, and watered it over the newspaper (as I was out of town for several days). Anyway, just recently 1.5 weeks ago the leaves started turning brown. I wasn't sure if was too much sun (which I doubted since this tree was grown in FLwhere I'm sure its worse), or wind, or not enough water. The planter is fairly small and I'm planning on moving it to a much larger airpot soon (when it arrives). Can someone help me figure out what's causing the browning? I'm feeding it with kelp fertilizer every once in a while, other times just plain old water. I've been watering every 2-3 days, and just recently took the newspaper out thinking water may not have been getting through it. I would appreciate others insights!
so you moved it from inside to full sun? That sounds like sunburn. You need to move plants gradually into the sun.
I would trim off the dead leaves and move it to a shadier location, edging it out into the sun over the course of a week or so.

Campaign Focus Turns to Medicare
With disappointing jobs numbers coming out right after the end of the Democratic National Convention, President Obama turned the focus to Medicare on the campaign trail.
FOX News Radio's Courtney Kealy reports:
Audio clip:
President Obama on the offensive on Medicare campaigning in Melbourne, Florida.
(President Obama) "Here's the bottom line: their voucher program for Medicare would bankrupt Medicare, our plan strengthens Medicare."
On NBC's "Meet the Press," Republican candidate Mitt Romney, saying he will replace the health care law with his own plan, but won't change everything.
(Romney) "There are a number of things that I like in health care reform that I'm going to put in place. One is to make sure that those with preexisting conditions can get coverage."
Romney also saying family members should be allowed to cover their children up to whatever age they like.

Pics of my Blooming Jasmine Tree
Just wanted to share some pics of my Jasmine tree finally blooming. I've had a few blooms here and there, but this is the most I've had since I purchased it not quite two years ago. When I first planted it most of the leaves turned yellow and then brown. But slowly I baby'd it, gave it lots of TLC, miracid... and its finally paid off. Thanks for looking!!
Hey Pug, they're beautiful, absolutely gorgeous!! I love the standard tree..where did you find it? Probably locally right? You guys in Fl are sooo lucky..
What type of Jasmine is it? The second pic 'almost' looks like my Murraya. Are some leaves round and some oval?
Hope that works..if not I'll try something else..but ours look similar..
Your plant is something else..lucky you, keeping outside year round..Toni
Thanks Toni,
Someone on this website ID'd it for me as Murraya Paniculata. So I'm sure it is exactly the same as yours. Believe it or not I got it at Wally World. I just checked the date to see when I bought it, I guess it's only 13 months ago, April 07.
Your tree is GORGEOUS!! Tons of blooms, just beautiful!
Check the link below, the last person gave me the ID.
Here is a link that might be useful: Murraya Paniculata?
