    Vintage Date???

    Try being dragged into one. All my senses bled for a week. I linked to a picture of JWoww from Jersey Shore in another thread and the reaction was much the same! Incidentally, I did it to illustrate what modern men are attracted to. :rolleyes:

    Everyday Bags

    Either than or we're carrying more stuff around with us. With a vintage clutch or repro bag, I can just about fit my phone, wallet, and keys in. No room for my colossal make-up bag, advil, breathmints etc...

    Pale or Tan?

    If I had a penny for every time I've heard this throughout my life... Looking at me, I am obviously a ginger. People still can't seem to understand that even if I wanted a tan, I couldn't do it! I burn really badly, and once the burn heals, it literally goes back to white. When the...

    Etiquette question

    Agreed, the red one would bring out your tulips! How about cream for a wedding, is that toned-down enough? I'm never sure.

    Everyday Bags

    All my vintage handbags are evening clutches. I have a black sparkly one that is shaped like a candy wrapper from the 1940's, a gorgeous peach satin one from the 1930's, and a plain wine coloured satin one from the 1950's (which I found a lipstick case in, so cool!). I definitely use them when...

    Vintage Date???

    With this talk of third date flowers, picking up tabs, and being a smooth criminal, it cannot be you. If it is, then I am officially the last sane person on the planet.

    That is a lovely comment :) It's always the unexpected ones from the people we love that warm our hearts, I find!

    The Middy Thread

    Without going too deeply into hairdressing techniques, tension is essentially the adjustment of your scissors, and how you hold them. Loose tension will cause the hair to bend while cutting - Tight tension will pinch the hair. If the hair is secure when making your cuts, you are less likely to...

    Your favorite movie quotes

    From The Apartment (1960): Dobisch: "You gotta help me, Buddy Boy. I need the apartment tonight - 45 minutes is all." Baxter: "No can do Mr. Dobisch. I've got a cold, and I've taken a sleeping pill." Dobisch: "But you don't understand! She looks like Marilyn Monroe!" Girl: "Who are you...

    Sherlock Holmes 2: A Game of Shadows

    Ooo I didn't know about this! I'm excited! People were very critical of the first movie because he didn't fit their mental image of Sherlock Holmes. Those people had obviously never read the book :)

    Beauty secrets of famous ladies

    Speaking of Jean Harlow, I don't know how many of you have seen this, but it's worth posting: The text reads: "High, narrow and very arched are Jean's eyebrows. She uses a finely pointed eyebrow pencil. The high brow enlarges the eye, gives clarity, an appealing quality. Jean uses a true...

    Getting a vintage haircut: what to ask for?

    That cartoon is so cute, I've seen it before. :) It's similar, but a bit short. A pageboy has curled-under ends, so needs a little more length. Here is a classic pageboy cut: While scouting Google, I came up with this yearbook picture, which is a pageboy with bangs: Can you...

    Driving golden era cars in the modern era

    That makes a lot of sense - I think I understand the differences now. I wish I had a 1957 T-Bird to tool around with. Driving a manual is fun, but driving a pre-'64 sounds even more fun (not to mention stylish!) You've been very helpful, gentleman! :)

    Beauty secrets of famous ladies

    Very true, though probably not by choice: Her eyes were very deep set and hard to film on camera, so her brows were drawn much higher to bring them out.

    Hmm, thats strange. Yes, it is Shadow Insurance, and yes, it works for all skin textures. I myself am prone to oily skin and eyelids, and its wonderful on me - I've used it on countless women and it never failed to git 'r done. :)

    Favorite liquid eyeliner

    I'm glad to know you use it Rue, you always look stunning! I use a plain gold too: MAC's Goldmine shadow. Does wonders for green-eyed monsters ;) Primer's do run pricey... But you only need a little dab, and so far my bottle has lasted me 7 months, with a good year left to go. Even in...
