    Quirky things that people have done 'in the day' that people would gasp at today..

    When I was a kid in the early 80s it was fine for us to go out and "play" until the street lamps started to come on. All the kids on the street would get together and we would roam the neighbourhood and the woods behind it. We would tell each other "Jersey Devil" stories in those woods lol...

    Rosie the Riveter

    That crosses my mind all the time! That I really have NO IDEA what these people's backgrounds are, but I'm letting my own experiences cloud my judgment!! I'm going through a BIG life learning process right now. I rarely talk about it, but maybe I should. I already feel a little better just...

    Rosie the Riveter

    My husband tells me the same thing -- he's incredbly proud of his "London Working Class" background. I don't think it's the actual background I'm ashamed of, though. I think I might be more ashamed of MYSELF for letting it get to me!! I'm so confused!!!! It's all part of my trying to battle...

    Rosie the Riveter

    I don't know how I survived 10 years in that factory, to be honest. I cried every single day the last 2 years I was there. I had to go out on sick leave to find a new job (working 12 hour swingshifts, 6 days a week WASN'T ideal when looking for new work!) You are correct -- those 10 years...

    How to avoid looking like emo / rockabilly / scene ???

    HAHAHAHA! I mix "grandmother" with tackiness! Like, making "grandma" dresses in cherry fabric and rocking my tattoos! I somehow never look "rockabilly", though. Guess I lean more towards grandmother.... ***Again, I've come a looooong way since my OP in this thread!

    Rosie the Riveter

    lol lol Yep, I got my "man mouth" from driving a forklift all those years. Never got "man arms" from lifting boxes for 10 years, though....

    Rosie the Riveter

    Thanks for bringing this up. I have no "choice" but to work, either. I would like an explanation to this, too. My dream is to be a housewife -- I thrive in the home doing "girlie" things. I actually love to cook and clean and help my husband. But, alas, I am working class. My "CHOICE" to...

    Vintage Beauty & Fashion Scans on Flickr

    I got the warning, too. I might upgrade. I love pictures so much and I love to share them. It'll be worth it :)

    Vintage Beauty & Fashion Scans on Flickr

    Thanks LM -- it's quite fun to do! I just pick out some random magazines every night and look for eye-catchers. The worst part is SCANNING them; have to be EXTRA careful (and so far I have been -- my magazines are my babies!) Anyone can add me on flickr. I'm going to add to it probably...

    Vintage Beauty & Fashion Scans on Flickr

    Hi girls! If there is another Flickr thread feel free to merge, but I just wanted to let everyone know I'm in the process of putting up HUNDREDS of beauty and fashion scans from the 1910s to the early 1960s. http://www.flickr.com/photos/77176338@N00/sets/72157622671199113/ Hopefully...

    As if we didn't chat about pin curls enough. . .

    I think pincurls look so pretty before they are brushed out!

    How do I hide a scar on my face?

    Sorry about your accident. I'm one of the ones who thinks it looks fine. It's not that bad and it will fade over time. A little cover up and powder should hide it for now if you personally don't like it. I have a scar on my "eyebrow" (I say that loosely because I barely have any!) and...

    Can the Snood Save Christmas?

    I thought I was the only one who thought that. It was basically still the colourful and BIG 80s until about 1992. Then it was grunge until about 1994. Then it was 70s/geek chic throughout 94-95-96. The end of the decade began to usher in the "bare" looks of the 2000s with the Spice...

    Costume vs. natural

    Nothing wrong with being "costumey" anyway :rolleyes: Wear what you like and what you're comfortable in. I've loved whacky fabrics/designs ever since I was a kid. Now I make my own vintage dresses in whacky fabrics. I wear these dresses every single day -- not just for photos or events...

    Show us what you've made!

    cynroux = Vintage Vogue patterns can be hit or miss. I have ones that fit me perfectly and others that are SO HUGE it's unbelieveable that that much extra room is given. Ebones = That's how vintage pants are supposed to look lol But I hear 'ya -- I prefer the crotch a bit higher, too. The...

    The movie is much better. Lil is whiney, spoiled, and unlikeable in the book. I also have Weekend Marriage! Forgot that one!
