What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?
Revlon has a vintage line of cosmetics which includes a collection of matte lipsticks. Two reds, a mauve and two pink/nude. I got, RevlonMatte, 'In the red'. I chose this colour because it's the one the model wears on the ad and it looked good. But I think it's a bit dark for me, and I... -

Show us what you've made!
I think they're fantastic! I actually saw this picture, scrolled no further, went straight to eBay and started looking for vintage slacks patterns! I found one, no quite so cool as yours, but had all the main features (high-ish waist, straight leg.) I love the buttons and the cuffs!- MarieAnne

Dealing W/ Frizzy Hair
I noticed the African American hair care section has an impressive array of curl enhancers and anti-frizz creams. Has anyone tried these? They have Care Free Curl which looked interesting and they also had a Shea Butter Shampoo. Would this be like washing with conditioner? My hair is... -
Show us your hair do's....
So what I figure is to do the top in pin curls. Like illustrated here...on the bottom right. Set the sides in pincurls going back and down, or back and up. And put the back in rollers; I love orange perm rods! -
Show us your hair do's....
Whenever I set my hair, I am thinking of this picture. I wish my hair could turn out like this. But it doesn't. I am going to get a long middy haircut. All the directions for a regular middy suggest having hair 4" long all over (except in front of the ears.) How much longer should I ask for... -
The ones that got away
WHHAAA?! That's outrageous! ...But maybe it's a magic crinoline. It can take off pounds, and if you give it three shakes a vintage vixen genie comes out and pays your rent for you and then does your laundry. I'd pay $152.50 for a magic crinoline...- MarieAnne

Oil Cleansing Method
After I had my daughter, my skin was horrible - a lot of breakouts. I did the whole BP, and SA treatment and it worked a little but eventually my skin just got dry and blotchy and I still had breakouts. I was a little over-zealous too though, (BP wash, SA toner, SA moisturizer, SA spot... -

Skin Care tips/remedies
I'm not sure this belongs in here. I know a girl who goes jogging before a date. She goes for a run and then hops in the shower and starts getting ready. She says it gives her skin a nice glow. -
Fancy Meeting You Here..
I met my husband in Kenya. Our parents were both living and working in Germany and they both decided to go to Kenya for Christmas and took us along. We were the same age so we hung out together. We all travelled back to Germany for New Years and had a New Years party together. We had our...- MarieAnne

The ones that got away
I'm trying to find a way to get to the sale and nothing is coming to mind. Even though I know I'm a fantastic driver, I don't think anyone I know would feel comfortable lending me their car; especially for such a long trip. We'll see, maybe I'll find a way, maybe I won't. I'm keeping my...- MarieAnne

The ones that got away
The ones that 'will' get away... An antique dealer is holding a sale tomorrow, 1 hour from my house. The website even mentions that there will be sewing supplies and notions. It's been on my calendar now for approximately two weeks and MY CAR BROKE DOWN YESTERDAY!!! It still drives but it...- MarieAnne
