    body changes -> garment alteration?

    Not at all! I have a gingham sundress that I've altered at least 5 times (the seams, the shoulders, and the bust darts.) I say tailor, tailor, tailor - You can always let out what you've tightened and sew up what you've loosened. :) I own a lot of expensive repro too, and theres no way I'd...

    body changes -> garment alteration?

    It really depends on the specific article of clothing. Most of the clothes I have that don't fit me anymore are because they're too small, usually if I've had them for years (Time = poundage). If I'm not married to it, it gets donated. If I am, I have a look inside and see if I can take it in...

    Beauty secrets of famous ladies

    She was always such a beautiful girl :) I think what you wrote about her appearing more white was on the mark. She probably would have been a bit player for "exotic" roles without the change, and that really would have been a shame!

    Beauty secrets of famous ladies

    According to Barbara Leaming's biography on Rita If This Was Happiness and TCM Film Guide's Leading Ladies, Rita wanted the electrolysis procedure. It took two years to complete, and made a subtle change that she truly felt was worth the trouble. Personally, I think it was too - It really...

    American girl in Italy: 60 years later

    I saw a humongous print of this photo years ago. To me, it always looked as though she wanted to get out of there, fast!

    Vintage Manicures

    Thanks ladies. The acetone did work, and I used the bowl method forthworthgal mentioned. I wasn't able to buff it off, though - I had to use the edge of my metal nail file to scrape it off, and it took some hard scrapin'. Surprisingly, most of the shellac came off without damaging my nails...

    Happy Drunk/Mean Drunk

    Agreed! Seeing someone drunk really gives you an insight into their true character. My parents had a barbecue last weekend, and they invited my mum and her twin sister's friend from childhood over. I've met the guy a few times, and I liked him. Then he drank 17 beers. He became loud...

    What motivates you to do your beauty everyday? Lately I cant find any motivation!

    Ahh, I don't agree. I detest the heat, and I love the long winter! Make-up stays on better, I can wear darker colours, I can wear stockings and hats, etc... The winters in my neck of the woods aren't nearly as brutal as yours, eh olive bleu? ;)

    Vintage Manicures

    It's been two weeks since I had my nails shellacked, and while I loved it, it's starting to grow out and chip at the bottom. That's fine, but the great nail salon I raved about before will to charge me to take it off :mad: I've since discovered that taking it off myself is a real pain in the...
