Do you wear vintage in your down time?
I really haven't pursued wearing any vintage regularly. I have a few retro look new things that I try to pair up for flair and when we go out I have a couple of dresses that look late 40s/50s. Because of my job I dressed professionally every day in business suits, skirts, dresses but I always...- Barbigirl

Show us your hair do's....
Hey! The backcombing thing didn't even occur to me. I have to try that next time. I was being an imbecile yesterday and when I went to get my roots colored I told her to make the whole this a tad lighter! I totally look like a brassy haired Barbie 8-/ I think she should definately have... -

Show us your hair do's....
Gosh thanks :) Sweet of you to say, I wish it was natural. I was very blonde to my mid 20s. I go in and tell the color girl to make it look like a natural match to my eyebrows. And make sure she overs ALL the gray! -

Show us your vintage patterns!
All of my sewing skills I learned by osmosis from my Mom (who has made numerous wedding dresses for friends and family) and now I am toying with the idea of making some vintage repro from the Vintage Vogue that you can buy now. Perhaps I will take a tailoring class first so I don't have to wing...- Barbigirl

Cloth Diapers?
My daughters were born in 1992 and 1995, we were 100% disposable diapers 100% of the time. It was plain easier and I will never make an excuse for it. They were cleaner, less stinky, more convenient. I may get excommunicated from the lounge for saying this, but IMO there are some very...- Barbigirl

Show us your vintage patterns!
I absolutely love that McCall's 4425, have you made it? The evening dress with the hip bow/sarong skirt. It reminds me of the dress that the Baroness wore in The Sound of Music. I had my Grandma send me all the old patterns she had laying around. Unfortunely, they were all mostly from the...- Barbigirl

How Old Are The Members of The Fedora Lounge?
That's a good idea, I am going to start telling people I am 40. I was born on the one year anniversary of Apollo 11 splashing down safely in the Pacific.- Barbigirl

I iron mine... do you iron yours?
I very carefully take Maintcoder's shirt to the laundry where they wash and iron them for a mere .99 each. So completely worth it in my book! (well, sometimes he takes them himself but it is on my way home) 75% of my clothes are dry clean only :-/- Barbigirl

Show us your hair do's....
My hair is naturally wavy and it does curl well initially but then it relaxes quickly (Seattle moisture perhaps?) But I tried this once and I will try it again soon. I had put some curling gel in it then let it dry. Then I had this sculpting wax stuff that I used to use when my hair was... -
