    Show us what you've made!

    It is possible (it involves cutting and sewing with a machine), but if you're not a highly experienced knitter then I wouldn't attempt it. The sleeves will unravel if you don't know what you're doing, and it will be a waste of your hard work. Honestly, it looks just fine on you. Often our...

    Canadians in the Lounge?

    That's as many as me, not including my native Ontario, so I guess we can make an exception... lol

    Gramophones, Phonographs, Victrolas....

    Ahh, too bad. I've had a similar problem with mine, only it was overwound (drunk barbecue guest at my home.) If you bought it from a dealer, they would probably be the one to go to - If not, try to find one at the local antique markets. If you're going to DIY it (like I did), get as many...

    A breakdown of Fedora Loungers by sex, location, age and marital status

    That's just because they can't handle us lol My boyfriend had a good chuckle at this conversation, for he's forever explaining my behaviour by my hair colour!

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    I've heard that one in variations. lol Personally, I would sell it full price, keep the money, and go shopping. You're right, it does make a great story :) Families are full of them. My grandmother once told me a whole history that sounded like a soap opera, only better. I was seriously...

    Canadians in the Lounge?

    Not if you're a woman and you know where to shop. lol Seriously though, have you perused Kensington Market, or Queen West? Kensington is kind of seedy, but if you can brave the smells, there are some good finds.

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    Your situation is one where I could understand the wronged wife losing her self-control. I was in a similar situation and I definitely did some damage... But anything of value/use was mailed back to him. I'm not sure I would feel the same way if he was just carousing with his buddy, but hey...

    How Much Jewelry Do You Wear?

    One exists somewhere. I've seen them at BitterSweet (the place mine is from, except the cupcake) and Thomas Sabo, but one is Torontonian and the other is Canadian/European :( If I find one in the States, I'll be sure to let you know.

    What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?

    Isis and kamikat tried them. :) Don't you love the models on the website?

    Show us what you've made!

    Thank you so much! :) I hope you post pictures of your circle skirt. I used an original pattern published in the 50's, not sure what magazine. I found it here on Elegant Musings. There were some missing bits, but its probably because I'm so new to this that I need everything spelled out for me!

    The extra time you spend getting ready because you wear vintage.

    Hairspray it rock solid then? (Tongue firmly in cheek.) That's a tough one... Bee suits would probably murder most hairdos! ETA: When the humidity kills my set, I have a quick fix method. I re-curl my bangs and side hair with my flatiron, and tie the rest back with a scarf. It looks very...
