    They Say Em' From the Golden Era - Slang & Memorable Phrases

    I love this site for Golden Era Slang (and not just American like it's title suggests): The Historical Dictionary of American Slang. One of my favourites is "cast an eyeball" for "look around" lol

    How does a girl keep warm?

    I am finding that I'm a lot warmer when I wear foundation garments. It makes sense - Second skins keep the heat in. Another advantage! lol

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    What was visible was my trenchcoat, black stockings, and high heeled shoes. You're on the right track - Muslim women are supposed to dress modestly, so as not to show legs, skin, or body shape. It is, or at least should have been, abundantly apparent that I am *not* Muslim (or for that matter...

    What makeup are you wearing today?

    Today: Primer - Too Faced's Shadow Insurance Eyeliner - Benefit's Magic Ink Mascara - Buxom Lash Eyeshadow - MAC's Goldmine Powder - MAC's Pressed Powder Blush - MAC's Summer Rose (limited edition. The powder is done in the shape of a rose. I'll cry when I've used it up.) Lipstick -...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    That's a very accurate response - After all, wearing scarves to cover your hairstyle was commonplace in American culture (I'm saying American because of my geographical location) until about the 1980's, I would guess. Most Americans or people familiar with American culture know wearing a scarf...

    WHAT CAN THE FEDORA LOUNGE DO FOR YOU?

    Say no more. He broke my heart when he didn't show up to the Toronto Jazz Festival this year like he usually does, but I probably wouldn't have found anyone who had the time nor the inclination to go with me anyway, so I understand. That's the reason I love the Lounge, right there - Nowhere...

    Curler help needed!

    Dontcha know? We like it around here when old threads are bumped ;) I have this problem too - It can get annoying. One solution is to use much smaller rollers on those sections when you set them. Another quick and surprisingly durable fix is to curl them with a flatiron. The way the...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    I had a very interesting experience today involving someone else's take on my vintage look. I wonder if any of you ladies have ever run into this: It was damp and foggy this morning, so as usual, I wore my scarf to cover my hair, Audrey Hepburn style, while waiting for my train. A young woman...

    Roller size recommendations?

    My hair is past my shoulders, and to set it I use 1 3/4" rollers, which are quite large. I find that even if it it overset (comes out tighter than I wanted) the curls are big enough that I can brush them out easily. The curls will come out smoother with larger rollers, too. The only problem...

    Modern Male Identity Crisis

    Oh, you couldn't do that now at all - That wouldn't be minding one's own business, the hallowed doctrine of today.

    Dating Etiquette

    Well said - It usually gets replaced with animosity, which isn't healthy for either person.

    Is cable TV worth keeping?

    My parents gave up cable a good 9 years ago, and I didn't get it for myself when I moved out. Like others have said, the only reason I would want cable would be to have TCM, but I have a very large collection of those movies myself and can easily obtain more (besides, my aunt has cable, so if...

    The Middy Thread

    The fabulous Rue tried out the cut and got some noteworthy results :) She posted the pictures here (If you'd like to re-post, Rue, then please do!) I'm pretty sure most everyone here who has tried the cut was afraid of that at first (even I was!) It's really very difficult to mess up...

    Show us your hair do's....

    That set is perfection itself! Like others have mentioned, I am so jealous of your smooth curls. Mine come out like that right after I've brushed them into submission, but they soon get *really* curly again. PS, the lipstick thing happens to me too in photos lol Wow, I'm so happy you...

    Modern Male Identity Crisis

    As a woman, reading that feels like a kick in the stomach (but blatant misogyny usually does.)

    Do you say Goodbye on the 'phone?

    It's pretty impossible not to... lol I always answer my friends and familys' calls with "Talk to me" :p I never abruptly hang up, though, its always either "I'll call you back" (If I have to go that second) or "Buh-bye!"

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I finished watching State of the Union (1948) last night. One of the best "Capracorn" movies he made, IMHO :)
