    For once vintage in a positive way on TV

    This is exactly how I feel about it, too. The perspective, and therefore the critique, is different when you take a broad view of culture and a focused view of an individual. No one person conforms completely to the culture they live in.

    For once vintage in a positive way on TV

    Well, it's been gone over in a tonne of detail before, but the article was definitely skewed. Joanne Massey did a post-TWW interview on the blog of the same name, and her life is a very different story than the one told on TV. But back to not proving people right - Absolutely. It's a well...

    What are our thoughts on nail polishes, ladies? (Barely used and sterilized brushes, of course!)

    For once vintage in a positive way on TV

    I think that women dressing in full vintage attire, though, regardless of her lifestyle, brings on these connotations. Because if you like the clothes, you of course like the imperfections of the era too.

    Let's Tell A Story

    "...My feet shall ache for the duration. But that's okay - Life is too short!" Of course, they hadn't intended to pun this way, but the crowd burst into a raucous laughter. Unsure how to react, she...

    Destruction of American History: DON'T DO IT.

    That's the reason most people think I collect Barbies. They always say "Good thing you kept them in the box, those will be worth money later on!" And that's fine, but I'm never selling them. On the contrary, that shows you had an inquisitive and creative mind as a child. I'm always...

    ...And then another one, and then another one. Suddenly, he found he could drum up at least 16 creative uses for a ball peen hammer. He was quite deep in thought, and hadn't realized that he was about to crush his Lucky's the way he was digging his fist into his pocket. She shook his elbow...

    Say no more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1042702/Time-Warp-Wives-Meet-women-really-live-past.html They don't display the comments anymore, but it was relentless and cruel. If you run a couple Google searches, you'll find blog entries about them where it gets really horrific...

    Red hair and red lipstick

    Good! Gals, don't waste your money on coloured lip liner. I explained it fully in the "What Make-up Are You Wearing Today" thread.

    Thanks everyone! :) I really appreciate it! Oh yes, you know just how much! I'm going to introduce the cherry sweater first, then I'll ease the shoes in... ;) They're a labour and employment firm representing trade unions, but they dabble in bankruptcy, human rights, and civil lit. It's...

    Article: "Should A Kindergartner Really Be Listening To Nicki Minaj?"

    Oh yes, but that kind of innuendo is something only an adult would catch on to. Children would take that line literally (like they do with so many things) - And when taken literally, it's quite harmless. Taking Minaj's lyrics literally is a different story. That is exactly what I was driving...

    Not trying to be cute, but...

    In some pictures, when that childlike quality of hers is really showing itself, it's tempting to say "cute" lol Very true - When you hate being called something anyway, hearing it from the people closest to you is much worse. (My boyfriend pinches my cheeks and calls me cute all the...

    Not trying to be cute, but...

    Not to mention that Sophia has a full set of curves! It's hard to call a buxom lady "cute," unless she's Marilyn Monroe... And sometimes not even then!

    Thinking about cutting my hair

    I say Lana Turner's hair from The Postman Always Rings Twice. It's at least shoulder length, but she curls it up to look very voluminous. With the extra length you can still play around with it, and with your natural curls, I think it'd look great! :)

    Article: "Should A Kindergartner Really Be Listening To Nicki Minaj?"

    (This is coming late, but) I knew about Lucille Bogan. I probably should have added that it wouldn't have been recorded for the mainstream. Like others have said, the difference was the availability, and the subject matter in mainstream music.

    Do you see a time when you stop wearing vintage?

    I don't think I would ever stop wearing vintage completely - Like Lizzie said, when I wear something quite modern, I feel like I'm in costume. Even when I'm not pulling a full on time warp, my clothes are classic and timeless, and most people think it still looks vintage.
