    A question for the red heads...

    I'm weird - I have cool porcelain skin, and cool green eyes, but naturally strawberry hair. :confused: Burgundy red is my favourite of all reds (nay, colours) that I've tried, because it enhances the cool tones. Just like with kamikat, it can also give pink and warm toned skin and eyes the...

    How do you wear a blouse?

    Thank-you lovely! Oh, how I wish I was that good with my sewing machine lol Fleur de Guerre modelled Vivien of Holloway's blouses, and she got the most perfect fit.

    Show us your hair do's....

    Welcome to the Lounge! :) I think you look cute, and I like your nails. I can't quite see from the first picture, but did you take *all* of your side hair into the roll? With that amount of hair, no matter how thin it is, you shouldn't need to backcomb - Just take more hair. If you still...

    The Official Beauty Box thread

    Y'all are hooked on Thayer's too?! I found it in a little health food store, and chose the cucumber one. I have not had a blemish since; prior to that, I was using Proactiv! I'm getting all tingly with desire for this box.

    How do you wear a blouse?

    I second the spray starch! I recently turned a cousin onto it for bedsheets and blouses, and she's in love. I wear blouses that are very slim fitted - If they aren't, I take in the bust and waist darts until they are to my liking. Don't forget, too, about silk blouses! I have quite a few...

    Thinking about a tattoo, but is it what good girls did in the 1940's?

    How did it come out? :)

    Excessive posting? ... Interesting.....

    Yeah, but all-season tires just wouldn't cut it - Not enough tread, too much of a thud. My super duper winter tires with 4.5 inches of tread are ideal, but the little freaks have to go and hibernate once it gets a bit cold. Cowards... I'm too poor to pay for the gasoline to Pardeeville lol...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    If I were that dude, I would have been 45 minutes early (FWTW). :) Meeting a person like that would have been a terrible misfortune, so he did you a favour. I was once stood up by a steady beau for a sandwich. He was supposed to pick me up from the mall after I finished shopping with my...

    Thinking about a tattoo, but is it what good girls did in the 1940's?

    I've used it, and I can't say it interfered with my healing at all, and I too liked the smell :) However, I'm a cheapskate, and the Vitamin E cream was free. I'm just going by what my artists told me (all artists have different techniques.)

    Dinner Party Etiquette

    He would have to be sneaky about it, and say it before the man in question announces "I brought my own Corona!" Incidentally, nobody else drinks Corona.

    The Hair Tutorials thread

    I posted a page from Daniela Turudich's famed out-of-print book 1940s Hairstyles in The Middy Thread, and all who tried the directions had great results, so I'm posting the others here. Enjoy! (If this one is too small, here is the direct link.)

    Dinner Party Etiquette

    Bump! How do you deal with guests when they act extremely inappropriately, and you're in too delicate of a social situation to simply stop inviting them? My parent's host a dinner party every once in a while, and lately when they do, they invite an old childhood friend of my mother's. My mum...

    The general decline in standards today

    I think the medics and nurses of the military, past and present, have just as tough a job as active combat. After all, they are the ones who clean up the mess. No foolin', in high school I took up weight training and there was a point where I could bench press 175 pounds. If I kept at it, I...

    Show us your hair do's....

    Amazing! Waah, I want my hair to be as long as yours... I wish 1940s Hairstyles hadn't gone out of print, its such a good resource. They're worth posting again. Should they have their own thread, or go in the hair tutorials sticky?

    That's because Canada Customs are a bunch of meanies! I'm up for round two of the box, and I haven't even seen it yet lol
