OH! Thanks, that's a good idea, I need to pick up some other kinds of hair product to attempt a smoother look. I will try again next weekend, seems I have zero time during the week.
First try ever
so check it out.....I was goofing around with the hot rollers and and trying to figure out what to do with with hair for this hat in my avatar. Suggestions for more defined rolls? I tried to squash up a nylon knee hi with some of my hair in it but it didn't work well for me. I...
Vogue repro vintage
In the last couple of weeks I checked out the vintage vogue patterns available online. I have mostly made kids costumes in the past but they were pretty detailed pieces like southern belle dresses. I am considering taking a tailoring class (right, I have so much spare time...
Here are some photo taken this weekend. The first of Maintcoder's new hat collection.
And here is a hat that he picked up for his collection but it is definately NOT a 7 1/4, it is the first hat I have ever tried on that fits me. Thanks for the hat Maintcoder!
Now, I am trying to...

I had lasik done in January '05 and my Mr. had it done in August. We both love it after over 20 years each of wearing glasses. Also found it to be affordable in our area considering how many office visits it included.

Hello,
My name is Barbi and my Mr. is a a 40's afficionado (especially with regard to films) and found this website looking for places to buy men's hats. He passed it along and has barely been able to get me off the computer since. We are especially fond of Nick and Nora Charles of...
