    The Middy Thread

    It depends on how risky the Russian salon is for you. Diagrams transcend language, anyway, and if you're really in a pinch, bring along a native Russian speaker. If you feel its too risky, it might be better to wait. Of course, if you're feelin' lucky, you can always do it yourself... ;)

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    I wear that kind of outfit a lot, and I never give people dirty looks. It might not be hypocritical, but its surely rude!

    Childhood, Today's Kids...and The Goonies

    I agree. I understand parents wanting to protect their children from trouble or problems they encounter, but it isn't realistic. Some things your children need to learn for themselves (especially when they get older and won't listen to you.) My parents let me go out wherever I liked, pretty...

    What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?

    I've got similar hair to Cate's in that photo, and I love wearing MAC's Dubonnet, which is a brownish-brick red. I have much paler skin, though. People always compliment me when I wear it, so it must be a good match :)

    Dita Von Teese

    A very good rule of thumb! I imagine Dita is well used to her costumes, but I sure wouldn't be. I'd probably pass out in a second.

    Childhood, Today's Kids...and The Goonies

    They're all very different, but they're all considered disabilities. I knew of a lady who claimed her son had dyslexia, and took him to specialist after specialist because they kept saying he didn't. The same thing happens more often with autism and ADHD, by far.

    Do you think you're drawn here because of past life memories....

    My family is a mix. They enjoy modern TV, technology, clothing and decorating, but they are a wealth of knowledge about Golden Era Hollywood and watch TCM quite often. Many people will ask my parents "what happened" to me, and my dad will proudly say "I introduced her to MGM musicals, and her...

    Movies that make you laugh out loud....

    These people obviously don't understand screwball comedies! I love them, myself. I liked Bringing Up Baby, but I wasn't crazy about the ending. She spends all this time creating havoc and pursuing him, and all of a sudden, he realizes he loves her. A little more build up might have helped lol

    I need a woman's help

    I'm glad your eczema doesn't hurt you, though I imagine it must be irritating. You may have tried Proactiv before, but if you haven't, I highly recommend it. I had awful skin as a teen, and it really helped me. You don't even need to use the treatment twice a day like they say to - Once a day...

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

    I have a great place in my neighbourhood, but if they did move a good long drive away, I would do it. If I'm going to have this tattoo for the rest of my life, it had better be perfect!

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

    lol I've never seen hangers, and rarely see duct tape. Cops here don't much like it!

    Vintage Bangs

    I think that looks much better (Sorry, Bette.) You can do multi-era with them, too! :)

    Vintage Bangs

    Bette Davis did wear bangs like this often, but they were usually curled upward or swept to the side. Bette was a big fan of the no-fuss look, so my guess is that they are easy to manage. It all depends on the texture of your hair - If it's curly, you will probably have to blow dry them...

    silicone free hairsprays?

    The first one that comes to mind is Giovanni LA Hold. It's a good strong hold option, which is the most useful for vintage hair, and smells quite nice. ABBA also makes completely vegan products, but they're a little on the pricey side. They do a firm hold hairspray and a finishing spray...

    Childhood, Today's Kids...and The Goonies

    I didn't mean to say that all children who are home schooled become Boo Radley, because that would be a silly thing to say, especially given your example. However, I don't know if it relates to better socialization, because I was never home schooled and have always gotten well along with people...

    The general decline in standards today

    That's a good lesson to take from it lol It's also the reason why I personally can't imagine anyone, circumstances aside, freely choosing to work there. You get treated terribly by every part time employer when you're a student, so you may as well work in a nice store.
