    Missing Loungers Whom You Miss.

    I missed you too :D I'm glad to see your post count has risen by about 30% since I was last here (but that's better discussed in another thread!)

    Missing Loungers Whom You Miss.

    I'm touched that you guys missed me enough to mention it :) Rue is right. I've been struggling to get the work/life balance happening, and although its not perfect, I think I've managed to get it so that I can pop in here more often.

    The Middy Thread

    I have extremely straight hair too, and I personally prefer to cut that underneath bit a little shorter and put them in tighter pin-curls at night like Retro_GI_Jane recommended. I hope it turns out well for you without cutting though :)

    Daniela Turudich Second Edition - it's being reprinted and it's affordable!

    This book recently popped up on the dear little "recommendations" e-mails Amazon sends me, and I was about to buy it when I saw reviews on it much like yours. How disappointing - Usually the second edition is superior to the first!

    Dita Von Teese

    Finally! Now that there is an official release date, perhaps it really will come out this time ;)

    Is this a faux pas?

    That's what I told an ex-boyfriend of mine when he made that demand. As far as I was (and still am) concerned, that Bettie Page dress cost me a lot of money and I like wearing it. I've worn it to many events before, and I plan to again in the future. To the OP: Whether its a boyfriend or...

    Dita Von Teese

    Which probably accounts for those cheap looking garters... I also suspect that this was nothing more than a celebrity endorsement (i.e., Dita didn't actually design them).

    Dumb question about red hair!

    This highlights so well how it all depends on skin tone! I have cool undertones and green eyes with auburn hair, and I'm told that red and hot pink are my best colours :)

    Need a makeup artist and hairdresser for my wedding

    I am of no help, but I had to say congratulations :) Its about time you two tied the knot!

    Dita Von Teese

    This is my theory, given that Target is a huge mass-marketer, and from comparing the results of her collaboration with Secrets In Lace to this stuff. We've seen things like this before, and probably even own similar items - I know I do. I looked at the blue bras and remembered the strapless...

    The Closet Door is Open - Lavender Ladies & Gents of the Golden Age of Hollywood

    “I’ve kept silent all these years because I didn’t want to hurt any of these people .... I finally said yes because I’m not getting any younger and all of my famous tricks are dead by now. The truth can’t hurt them anymore.” He means, of course, that he cannot be sued for libel anymore. I...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    I often wonder if people who act this way have already been on the receiving end badly enough to impact their personality - for example, if they were bullied often as a child - and they feel they need to take it out on others. It's the only reason I can think of for someone doing this (not that...

    Not trying to be cute, but...

    Perhaps to you it is, but some people find it diminutive. Personally, when I'm meeting clients at work or making conversation at a party, someone squealing about how "cute" I am makes me feel like a child.

    Pajamas in public...

    Agreed completely! I don't consider wearing pyjamas to be wearing clothing, or being "dressed". They're just that: pyjamas.

    fixing stockings

    That's funny, because I thought that the crocheting method was a little crazy lol

    Weird info I came across... Marilyn and Liz

    Any woman with a touch of vanity would not be likely to talk about their facial hair, or what they do to remove it lol That said, more women than you might think head to the esthetician to have their lips, sideburns, chins and full faces waxed or threaded along with their eyebrows. Having...

    False Toenails ! Any info advice from experiance etc..

    I've tried them - I hate them. Toenails take a beating from shoes, walking, etc. and the falsies will often crack or fall off. If you have them glued on so well that they won't fall off, and they crack, they'll usually take your nail with it. My stance here is not to bother. As you say...

    Dita Von Teese

    Wouldn't we all :( That's actually quite easy to do, though it would be difficult to get it looking as smooth as hers. If you set all of your hair for volume (rolling straight up to the root) and instead of brushing it down, brushing it under, you can make it appear much shorter. If your...

    fixing stockings

    All the runs in my lower-denier stockings occur near my toes, or at the top where the garter hooks into them. With my sewing machine, I sew the tear either into the seam across the toe, or in a very neat line if it is at the top. Nobody sees the top, and if a tear in the foot is sewed into the...
