What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?
Red lipstick has always been considered a classic look, and as such, has never really left fashion. It goes in and out in mainstream trends - Usually around Christmas, reds become more "in," and magazines are filled with tips about how to find your correct shade. These trends are usually... -

Etiquette question
I've never been to a beach wedding, but I understand they are casual. I would think a large sunhat or flowers in your hair with a long cover tied at the waist and espadrilles would look smashing! Think Edie Beale :)- C-dot

The Middy Thread
Beautiful!! :D It wouldn't be impossible, but with all the layering, you wouldn't get a very good braid. For a Middy to work, the layers in front do need to be shorter, so if they were kept longer then you would have a different cut altogether. You would likely also find, like crwitt says... -

Helping Out
Besides many people being hesitant to give, for whatever reason, I think many more people are too proud to ask... Maybe even afraid. There's a real "It's not my problem" mentality these days which I'm not sure was too prevalent in the Depression. I don't really have the means to help others...- C-dot

The Middy Thread
That's quite the dilemma. I would never push anyone to try the tutorial who isn't willing to overcome the initial discomfort of cutting their own hair, and by extension, who is rattled by the possibility of error. Work on your communication with stylists. Most modern hairdressers don't quite... -

Pale or Tan?
Hats could work, but I suspect the SPF in your sunscreen isn't high enough. Anything under 30 and you will still soak in some rays - 50 and over and the sun won't touch you. -

Warner Brothers : "Tales from the Gangster Squad"
They aren't, but they do have a tendency for overkill, and maim the top/event more each time. Pouring salt on a dead horse, so to speak...- C-dot

Motherhood & the Vintage Lifestyle
Not to mention the money! The ironic thing, and the common misconception about vintage hair, is that it takes more time than modern hair. Not so. I am not a mum either, so I can pretty well make my own time for sets, but I'm sure some time could be carved out like kamikat does!- C-dot

Motherhood & the Vintage Lifestyle
I searched and couldn't find it :confused: One of the Bartenders will probably be able to. In the meantime, I was reminded of some pictures exquisitebones (of The Mysterious Life of the Metropolitan Housewife) posted some time ago in the "Show us your hairdo's" thread. You can see them here...- C-dot

Everyday Women of the Golden Era
Lauren Bacall wears them in Key Largo. :) Good find on the name Gracie Lee, they looked a little low-heeled for espadrilles. I Googled for "Giant Killer Sundae" and didn't find much, except this blurb under a hybrid image of a Chicago neighbourhood: "Now a Starbucks, this former site of...- C-dot

Childhood TV kiddie shows...
I adored Mister Rogers as a child, and like Rue, I was also truly upset when he passed away. In high school, whenever I stayed home sick I would curl up on the couch and watch the PBS re-runs. I never outgrew him :) Looking back, I know the reason was because he was gentle and kind without...- C-dot

Cleansing milk?
I've read that... Never tried it, though. I have tried Clinique's Take The Day Off Cleansing Milk, and while it's nothing against the product, I found it encouraged my acne. I have unfailingly oily skin in all seasons that I attack with Proactiv and lots of astringent to keep clear. I also... -

Does vintage clothing attract a rude/violent response?
I like you, kid! :D Maybe you reminded them of his legendary style. In which case it's an even better compliment!- C-dot

Getting a vintage haircut: what to ask for?
Don't mention it ;) I've made a study of vintage hair and make-up! I feel a bit like I did in elementary school on here sometimes... "Laura, you don't always have to raise your hand..." The cartoons are sweet. The first cut is a lot shorter than the second one, and looks like it has more... -

Am I too old for this pretty, girly dress?
OT: Aww, you're a sweetie :) Don't feel stupid, they're getting more convincing all the time. Back in '09 they used to flat out post pictures of Nike sneakers, now they come with a story and plant generic 5 word posts in other threads to avert suspicion. Clever little UNIX hackers.- C-dot

Getting a vintage haircut: what to ask for?
I am becoming your fairy post-mother lol From your description of your face, you sound exactly like Loretta Young! Long, thin face; large (gorgeous) eyes; delicate jawline: Here she is with even shorter hair: The trick is to go for styles in a shape that suits your features...
