    The Fedora Lounge 4.0

    Worst case scenario, use Firefox Focus on sites that give you sketchy ads. They're willing to block certain ads, but this would be a temporary solution until it's blocked.

    The Fedora Lounge 4.0

    If it's any consolation, Facebook's been selling your info for years. And you don't even need an account. They've collected information through friends, and friends of friends. I personally don't think there's anything FL could do worse, than what Facebook's already done. I'm pretty sure it's...

    Pin curls coming out!!

    I know the replies are a bit old, but I want to offer what I currently do whenever I want a good curl. Maybe it'll help someone else. :) I have Asian-straight hair, which means a lot, lol. What works for me is doing a dry set in medium-sized sponge curlers, then spraying it all damp. Not too...

    Lipsticks: The mattiest matte

    Just to update: I tried out Colour Pop's Ultra Matte in Times Square. I forgot to take a photo swatch, and right now the only photo of me wearing it is hilariously disturbing. Me + giant false eyelashes = god help us all.

    Max Factor Pan Cake dupes

    After years of never having bought another Max Factor Pan Cake when the brand was discontinued for awhile, my mom set aside enough to splurge on one for herself to use for my brother's upcoming wedding. Sadly, it's a shade too light for her, but just dark enough to work for me if I had a light...

    If you're not on mobile, just use Adblock Plus or Ublock/NanoBlock. While I'm all for supporting the sites I enjoy, I'd sooner pay out of pocket when I can afford it, and not risk my computer to grey level ads. There's also Firefox Focus for smartphones. Worst case scenario for me, if something...

    The Fedora Lounge 4.0

    I'm happy to see the much-needed update. As a graphic designer, it was hard to ignore the lack of anti-aliasing and the bleeding edges that much of the UI had. Things now look cleaner and smoother. I like having the option for dark or light, given I try to keep things more dim at night. I don't...

    Lipsticks: The mattiest matte

    Ooo, I'm definitely going to look at this for all day wear during the wedding I'm part of. I want to have a flawless lip look that won't require much touchup during the day. I'm looking at that right now, and it does look like something I could use in my life. :) Thanks a bunch! Updated the...

    Lipsticks: The mattiest matte

    I've seen a few lipstick threads, but most are about finding that perfect shade of red, or lipstick cases. I'm once again on the quest for lipsticks that are truly matte. Every time I search for matte lipstick, I come up with semi-matte or "cream" matte -- which ends up being a solid cream...

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    All right, so I finally placed my order for a lovely butterfly sleeve, full length gown, that will be in a beige-champagne. Since all the bridesmaid gowns are smooth chiffon or similar, I'm now opting for a solid pump instead of strappy or with cut-outs. I'm really leaning toward this pump from...

    Sharing Coconut Oil Experiences for the ladies....

    Coconut oil is one of the oils the ladies at Long Hair Community sing praises of. The others are extra virgin olive oil, grapeseed oil, and jojoba oil. As a former avid member there, I too loved coconut oil. For something with more protein, I prefer nut based oils, and sweet almond became a...

    The Middy Thread

    I see the issue. In the photos, you see that she separated the hair just behind the ears. That section, from the back of the ears to the nape, are meant to be in low ponytails near your nape and closer to your ear. Those ponytails should be held parallel to the floor, and snipped parallel to the...

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    While I lurk through this thread extensively, may I please have some assistance finding websites comparable to AmeriMark's designs? In the spoiler are examples that I really liked from them. Other sites I saw in shoe findings didn't have this specific 'flavor.' Currently, AM is out of everything...

    Shoe opinions needed...

    Lucite is a solid transparent plastic made of polymethyl methacrylate (like Plexiglas). It's one kind of shoe that's never went out of style, and you can still find vintage-inspired designs.

    The Middy Thread

    I think you missed my earlier reply. I had created a PDF of it. I sadly forget who, but someone had shared the missing photos with me, and I put everything together. I made sure it was print-friendly as well. :) [Click here]

    The Middy Thread

    First, thanks Alice. :) I'll try to always keep a couple copies in different places in case people need it, that way if for some reason the link doesn't work, I can re-upload it. C-Dot gave us a great tutorial, I just wanted to make a print-friendly version. Now, I'm a bit curious about a...

    Help Identify Vanity set authenticity?

    Hello again everyone. I hope this is the best place to post this. I pondered before posting, as always. I'm trying to help a fellow historical reenactor in pricing a Victorian-looking vanity set; brush, comb, mirror, and tray. She does want to sell this, but doesn't even know if the set is...

    Baking powder facial scrub

    I just want to say a big no no no no no no no to this. Please be gentle with your faces. Please please please, lol. While I realize none of these are peer reviewed articles, which I try hard to find, I do feel that these do a good job explaining why you scrub your sink with baking soda, not your...

    The Middy Thread

    KittyTwoShoes: You know what? The more I've looked at the middy, the more I realized I prefer shoulder length hair in a cut that closely follows a middy. If we can call it the super duper long femme fatale, that would be it. Lauren Bacall and Gene Tierney's haircuts made me realize that what...

    The Middy Thread

    It isn't fully necessary to create bangs. I'd recently found out that Veronica Lake only had a blunt cut, all 1 length. Lauren Bacall's hair had the thick side of her top lock cut just long enough for a curl at her temple, while the length was blunt cut and tapered into a U shape just below her...
