    Am I too old for this pretty, girly dress?

    At least! lol Moving right along then... That was Trinny & Susannah. I think they said something about 35 being the age when you lose all elasticity, which isnt necessarily true. I'm in my early 20's and have only had toned arms when I lifted weights in high school, and not much then. I...

    Does vintage clothing attract a rude/violent response?

    Considering the places I have to go to buy seamed stockings, it makes a lot of sense. I have to remind myself that people's ideas about vintage clothing are a tad askew, aswell. That's hysterical lol If it were in a Bugs Bunny cartoon, steam might come out of their ears.

    Driving golden era cars in the modern era

    I enjoy these stories too! I believe the more work you put into something, no matter how much grief it gives you, the better you feel about it when it does work :) Besides, its a great car!

    Am I too old for this pretty, girly dress?

    Ugh, the OP is a spammer! Check the posts, they're a man in one thread and a woman in the next, and link to the same Deals Studio website in each! Is it just me, or are these showing up a lot lately?

    The Middy Thread

    Speaking of combinations in length, here is a page from Daniela Turudich's 1940's Hairstyles explaining combination cuts, and showing the graduation in layers. This diagram heavily inspired the tutorial: ETA: If it's a little too small, here is the direct link.

    The Middy Thread

    It sure would. My hair is about 14 inches long in the back, and I've been doing it since it was about 5 inches long. I also used a variation of the cut on my recent 23 inch extensions (I had them in my profile picture, but they were pinned up) and it worked just fine. The tutorial, in...

    Does vintage clothing attract a rude/violent response?

    We'll use your cocktail shaker this time, Tom ;) Here's a rude response: A girl gave me the daggers the other day for my heels and seamed stockings, though it was likely because her male companion had his eyes glued to them. Since women don't wear them anymore, he was probably just...

    Dita Von Teese

    OT: Me too!! I'm waiting for the next one to come out. I've emailed him before, he's so funny. I'm glad to hear of another death hag lol

    Dita Von Teese

    Same here. She mentions in her book that she once lost a pastie, though, which most strippers have done. I don't blame her, if the show was using water. Speaking of, that's what Dita is and all (or nearly all) burly-q greats of yesteryear were. That's how they got so popular :) The magic...

    What do I do with short hair?

    Those are cute! I went through a period like this too (bad haircut.) I used to sweep the entire thing back and fluff up the bangs, much like the third picture. ETA: Here is a page from 1940's Hairstyles on short hair.

    The Middy Thread

    Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that! It sounds to me like your lengths might be disproportionate. As I said, it's better to leave it alone than try to fix it. If I were you I would take the Elegant Musings picture to your stylist if it's exactly what you want. Just because its a cartoon, doesn't...

    The general decline in standards today

    I didn't say that. There doesn't seem to be any way to assert an argument without offending someone, so I give up.

    The general decline in standards today

    Neither would I! I'm not purporting to say that people who's first priority isn't looking like a million bucks should not go to a loved ones funeral, neither am I saying that I would look upon a distraught person in this situation with disgust. I am simply saying that to show up at anyone's...

    MAC Make-up in particular

    No problem! I have a bit too much time on my hands, I think :rolleyes: Coloured shadows are so vintage appropriate! Have a look at these links for colour swatches from the 1920's, 1930's, and 1940's. 40's make-up was quite natural, but you'll notice that green eyeshadows were popular in the...

    The general decline in standards today

    I agree about gossiping, though I don't believe anybody here had or would whisper about people... They have expressed internal thoughts as far as I can see. I don't agree about showing up to a funeral in whatever you want just because you are grieving. If your grief is debilitating enough that...

    Yep, that would be me. I'm one of those people that looks at my phone, sees someone calling who I don't want to talk to, exhales sharply before picking it up, and lets them waste my time. It isn't that I don't have the willpower to turn off my phone, it's that I don't want to deal with...

    Books about the Looks

    I got Retro Make-up today! I've already devoured half the book. It is so fantastic, there are pieces of history in there I never knew of :)

    Dita Von Teese

    Thanks for that. Things I wait for always have their release dates pushed forward. I'm convinced that it's because they know I want it, and they just want to antagonize me.

    Why would they, when your cellphone will tell you the time? I heard that daily when I worked in a watch store. I've fallen prey to this myself, even when I'm wearing a wristwatch. That gives it away that I own a cellphone. I resisted for a long time, but eventually gave in. I did not...
