My absolute #1 secret to eternal happiness: Stay Inspired. Whatever it takes. For me (may not be true for anyone else, though), I like to watch my "girls" on YouTube whenever I feel gross and unattractive. These include Lisa Freemont Street and Cherry Dollface. Both beautiful, inspirational...
I think Lady Gaga is great for the younger set! She reminds me so much of my love for Cyndi Lauper in the early 80s! I'd rather have my daughter look up to Lady Gaga than Dita von Teese, actually.
LG does have something more than the other pop princesses. I shunned her at first, just...
Lady Gaga is a showgirl. I'm sure she does not sleep in her strange outfits. And you just described every celebrity ever. Their job is to give the fans what they want or risk becoming a has-been. Ever read up on silent film star Alla Nazimova and/or watch any of her films? She was most...
Do you know your great-grandmother's maiden name? Maybe you can use that as your "pinup" name. Why can't you use your real name? Most famous women in the 20s and 30s used their real names or used family names as their stage names. The only ones who used long, sensual names were the "vamps"...
People will have problems pronouncing the Rosalicia name, which is never good. Lots of people will end up saying "that Rosalicia di Savsomething" model.
Clara Bow is kind of a dull, common name. And it was her birth name. Jean Harlow was Harlean Carpenter's mother's maiden name. Maybe a...
This I agree with. I am in the school of "I don't care what others wear", but for myself I just do not like most "mall" clothes. They are ugly, cheap, not my style, and when I try them on I always look dumpy. When I make my own clothing they are my "style", fit perfectly, and I made them so I...
First names that were common during that time were Margaret, Virginia, Doris, Norma, Ruth, and Helen -- just open up any high school yearbook and these are the names of all the girls lol
If Norma is not right, try this list of names:

I like MAC -- middle of the road in expense and worth it to me.
Drugstore eyeshadow and lipstick is always nasty to me. The shadow is too powdered down and the lipstick is too greasy. I will spend $15 for a tube of lipstick that will last almost all day and I can't even feel it.
I bought Kay...
Clarine Rose (a play on the name of silent actress Clarine Seymour and the word "Rose" is very 20s to me)
Billie Robbins (a play on the name of actress Billie Dove)
Billie Faye (sounds 20s)
Norma Naldi (a play on Norma Shearer and Nita Naldi)
Mary Manners
If I think of more I'll be back....
I have half blonde, half red hair and a real Dalmatian. Alas, no one has ever likened me to Cruella! I thought of being her for halloween -- I have a real prop! :D
