Old vs vintage

Debs_place @Debs_place (10520) • United States 11 Mar 07

I look at things and often see something as old and therefore not worth much. Other people may see it as vintage and therefore a hot commodity. When qualifies something as vintage rather then old? What is yor criteria? If we...

mixey62 I would say something is vintage when it exemplifies the best of its time period. Vintage champagnes are the best years and vintage clothes are well-preserved classic fashion statements. It's not proper usage to call a person vintage. People are different...

Major decline in the sales of Rap albums

sedel1027 @sedel1027 (17846) • Cupertino, California 2 Mar 07

It seems as though rap may finally be loosing the interest of the general public. Apparently, the labels producing these records are struggling to make any sales. Do you think this is going to lead to the demise of the rap...

mixey62 I don't think rap will ever be "over", but I hope rock groups make a come back! I miss good college rock and garage bands from the 90's. I am glad that there seem to be more of these on the rise these days and less rap out there. All rap has started to...

What kind of camera do you use? What kind would you like?

ragmama @ragmama (536) • United States 5 Mar 07

Do you use a digital or film camera? How did you choose it? Do you like it, or are you pining for something different? Mine is a Canon PowerShot A610, 5 megapixel, and I like it a lot - takes nice pictures, has more settings...

mixey62 I have a Nikon Coolpix 5 MP camera. I love it. I really think if it was bigger or had more parts it would just confuse me, so I stick with this small and easy-to-use model. On another note, the Nikon picture software needs some work. The version that came...

Women--- heeled or flat shoes? Which one are you more comfortable with?

Rexy_leigh @Rexy_leigh (1189) • Philippines 5 Mar 07

Ok. Since college, I have been into high heeled shoes. I just thought it makes me look taller, since am not blessed with such a lovely height. So poor little me, I just resorted to getting myself high heeled shoes. And it does...

mixey62 I always wear heals except during workouts. I think this is because my little sister passed me in height when I was 14-years-old and everyone always mistook her for the eldest. Heels helped me deal with this- though I'm still shorter than her with 4" spikes...

mixey62 I don't think this is wrong- as long as she doesn't end up buying them back from you on ebay! Hahaha! Just kidding- but I think in this day and age to keep items you don't want is a waste of space. And kids are expensive- so might as well make a few extra...

mixey62 As long as things look good on- then I wear all colors in moderation. I like to wear a lot of black and grey because they are easy to build outfits off of and accessorize. I rarely do the head-to-toe black look, but like this on occassion. Rules of thumb...
