What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?
The Rockette Red is amazing looking! I'm wary of the reviews that say you don't need a liner though... Every deep-hued lipstick should be worn with liner, especially red. -

Blue Black dye?
Oooh okay, you're using pre-mixed hues. Gotcha :) When I did the blue-black colour, I used to use Superior Preference in Deepest Indigo, have you tried that one? It lasted so much longer than anything else I tried... And I tried them all lol If you ever want to go plum coloured, try their... -

The general decline in standards today
It takes all kinds... Seriously! The world would be completely unbalanced if we didn't have misanthropics, optimists, and everyone in-between. :) Be wary of statistics. So much depends on the variables used: What information is included and excluded, who is gathering the information, what...- C-dot

What Did You Drink Last Night?
Heey, its my old Valentine lol Speaking of rum and coke (my favourite non-cocktail), a great variation is Sailor Jerry's Spiced Rum mixed with A&W root beer. It has a vanilla taste to it, yum! :)- C-dot

What Did You Drink Last Night?
The Singapore Sling. A friend turned me on to them, and they are deeeeee-lish! 1/2 oz grenadine syrup 1 oz gin sweet and sour mix club soda 1/2 oz cherry brandy Pour grenadine into the bottom of a collins glass, and fill with ice. Add gin, and almost-fill with equal parts of sweet and sour...- C-dot

The general decline in standards today
I share this viewpoint (although its solidly rooted in fact.) I prefer to call it "realism" as opposed to "pessimism."- C-dot

The general decline in standards today
Amen, sister. If I don't like something I see in a shop, I simply don't buy it. I don't feel the need whatsoever to exclaim "THIS STUFF IS CRAP/THEY CHARGE WAY TOO MUCH FOR THIS/I HATE THIS STUFF." I'm a retail veteran too and I've seen it all... My biggest gripe is that people let their...- C-dot

What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?
Creamy lipsticks go on better, but tend to bleed without liner. Matte textured lipstick is really a modern invention and is, as you say, extremely drying. But Besame's website, and your study of classic actresses, are more accurate. My theory is that modern views of vintage make-up are... -

The Art of Shaving
Bump! Any of you ladies brave enough to shave your legs with a straight razor? I tried my upper thighs and it worked fantastically, but I'm nervous about the more delicate areas (behind knees, ankles.) I have a feeling I will cut myself to ribbons when I do try it. -

Hi all, I've posted a re-vamped version of the Middy Tutorial in The Middy Thread. The original version is on page 10, and the new version is on page 37. Enjoy! :) -

Middy Tutorial 2.0 Let's get crackin'! This cut I'm about to demonstrate is easy enough for a beginner to do, and is very difficult to mess up. It is not a Middy in the strictest definition - It is essentially a basic layered cut - and can be done with any length. Today, people wear their... -

Radical life change needed!
Dress sizes are tricky. A lady with an out-of-this-world body ratio like Marilyn Monroe or Christina Hendricks may be a size 14 or 16 up top or bottom, but a size 10 or 12 in the waist. Don't forget too, vintage dress sizes are larger than modern sizes. Both Marilyn's and Christina's costumes...- C-dot

Books about the Looks
It's highly unlikely - Rights to intellectual property are exclusive to the author and do not necessarily expire, even upon their death. I need to have Retro Make-up by Lauren Rennells! Now that the postal strike is over, I should have it soon :D -

Embarrassing Moments
I gotta get me some Euro coins, Canadian coins are too darn thin lol High winds and hats don't mix. I was wearing a gorgeous mink beret one windy afternoon while crossing a busy intersection, the kind where there is a small island between the right-turn lane and the rest of the road. Doesn't...- C-dot

Now this is more like it! - Duchess of Cambridge in Canada outfit.
As a Canadian, I felt the same way! It wasn't chintzy at all (and its so easy to be), it was very tasteful, and lovely to see her have an affinity for a country she has never visited before. (Side note: Unfortunately, Canadian "culture" has become a bit of a joke... Tim Hortons, hockey, and...- C-dot
