The Closet Door is Open - Lavender Ladies & Gents of the Golden Age of Hollywood
David Stenn is a fantastic author. He also wrote Bombshell: The Life and Death of Jean Harlow, which is one of my favourite biographies. Compare his educated and thoroughly researched version of Paul Bern's death to Anger's - total scum! Speaking of Paul Bern, there were many rumours during...- C-dot

Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage
I agree! One time I was wearing my favourite Vivien of Holloway dress in a restaurant, and a group of women came over and started raving about how cool they thought I looked. Put a big smile on my face for sure :) ps. Thanks ZombieGirl and Deco Doll for the compliments! Kat is lovely, but I...- C-dot

Whats your FAVORITE MOVIE Score?
The Bad and the Beautiful. The theme song, "Love is for the Very Young," is played in variations to suit the mood of a scene. Composed by David Raksin... Sends shivers down my spine.- C-dot

Blue Black dye?
Unless I'm wrong, I think Miss Moonlight is referring to the colour tints that are used to combat natural tones in hair to achieve a certain colour. For example, I used green tint in my platinum dye because my hair is red. It doesn't take expertise so much as an understanding of the colour... -

Mother-in-Law's Scathing E-mail Goes Viral
Or perhaps the carrot that is lodged in her rear end is blurring her judgment? As said, Heidi's side of the story is not told here, and I tend to think Mrs. Bourne is employing gross exaggerations... Any mother-in-law who would stoop to write an email like this would. If she doesn't like...- C-dot

The Closet Door is Open - Lavender Ladies & Gents of the Golden Age of Hollywood
I read that book. There are a number of inaccuracies Bast makes with time that make it even harder to believe the majority of what he says!- C-dot

make-up for a recovering tomboy
Oh dear lol If you're a trollop then I wonder what I am, having started at age 11! I haven't read the entire thread so I don't know if its been mentioned, but are you ladies using your primer? Especially speaking of eyes, a good primer will last you for months and make the cheapest eyeliners... -

Pale or Tan?
As a fellow porcelain dolly who also gets sun freckles, I recommend SPF 253 957 applied at least 14 times a day (only slightly joking), and Noxema. Wash your face with it, and rub it into freckled body parts. It makes skin gleaming and lovely, and I swear fades sun damage. Plus it smells... -

The Closet Door is Open - Lavender Ladies & Gents of the Golden Age of Hollywood
What's even more sad about poor Ramon is what [expletive]s like Kenneth Anger have done to his memory by writing sensational rumours as fact. I can't repeat what he wrote here, but anyone who has read Hollywood Babylon will know what I'm referring to. I read in Clara Bow: Runnin' Wild that...- C-dot

Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage
I think people preferred to believe that things such as homosexuality and pregnancy didn't exist. It's interesting to find out how rumours start, too :)- C-dot

Can anyone out there help a young girl who doesn't know what to do with her hair??
Was your avatar style done with those? I have never been able to get a decent set out of them. Nice job! It took me a long time to master vintage hairstyles (I still have difficulty with some.) Rollers/pin curls and the right haircut are the only way to swing it. Unless you're doing a... -

Radical life change needed!
Co-sign! Because of all the information that is swilling around today aswell, I don't see how even our conscious minds stand a chance. I'm all for losing weight and changing your life if its what you really want. But to work so hard to look a certain way? Never! Especially when you don't have...- C-dot

Ingrid Bergman Dress Destroyed - Vogue shows it off
I read that article when it was new. I was reminded of Pretty in Pink, when Andie ruins that ADORABLE pink 60's dress to make the monstrosity she wore to the prom... At the very least, it was original. All I can see was done to Ingrid's dress was that the skirt was cut off at the thighs...- C-dot

:offtopic: Jim Nabors and Rock Hudson were never a couple! Rock himself explained the incident this way: "There appears to be a couple of elderly, or middle aged homosexuals who live in Huntington Beach ... who every year give a party, a big party, 500 people or so. ... Its an engraved...- C-dot

Does vintage clothing attract a rude/violent response?
I live in Toronto, where I'm well accepted in the more unconventional neighbourhoods. When I visit the 'burbs, though (especially the malls), thats when I get the comments and dirty looks. My most common reaction is to blow them a kiss. :)- C-dot

Vintage and Rollercoasters?
Yes, but vintage *is* our normal life ;) I'm going to Canada's Wonderland this weekend, and I'm planning to wear high waisted shorts and a button-up tie top like RodeoRose suggested. Shoes will be houndstooth ballet flats. The whole look is very early 50's. Hair is a decidedly tougher issue...- C-dot

Et tu, Brute? Hi all; Long time no see! I've been gone from here for about a year, but I have been keeping up with this thread and a few others, and I'm so pleased that my tutorial is still working! I have made two major modifications to the tutorial (I'm still cutting my own hair :D) which...
