    Old fashioned red hair color?

    Agreed. Garnier's Belle Colour also has a few good ones.

    Attorneys and Barristers of the Lounge

    I'm still here - One foot in the Powder Room. There are a few girls who work in corrections, but I haven't met any in law [huh]

    Where & What Will You Be Doing On 12/21/2012?

    What a coincidence, Gilbey! That's the month of the year I'm getting married. I can see myself at it now, shoving my way through a crowded mall with an armload of gifts, muttering erroneous wedding details/various curse words. I'll probably be relieved by an apocalypse.

    Show us your hair do's....

    Not bad for a novice, zombi! I seldom can achieve a finger-waved look, especially using pin curls. It looks very 30's. :) Christy, thanks for 'splaining. When I set my hair dry, it combs out smoother, too.

    Aging

    That's terrible :( My deepest condolences. You are obviously a very strong woman to be able to face the world, even on the internet. Keep holding on - Time heals all wounds. Know your fellow Lounge Ladies are behind you!

    Getting a vintage haircut: what to ask for?

    Most of the ladies here will set their hair at night, so the next day all that is required is to brush out and style (In the Golden Era, there were, of course, no heat tools.) Generally speaking, the shorter the hair, the less time it takes to set/curl. If you've got hair to your waist...

    Old Hollywood themed Salon.

    Wow, many congratulations to your mum! I'm with the others on Art Deco/30's. There is a salon in Etobicoke (northwest Toronto) with exactly this theme, called Gable & Garbo. It's done all in peach and gold tones, with marble and white fabrics... Delicious.

    hairstyle with a bang

    Here are some sizable pictures of Clara, with bangs: Sorry I can't be more specific, because Clara often wore a headband of some kind, in movies and in personal life. With her hair, its all about the cut - The volume and curl you see was natural, so if you don't have it get...

    The Miracle of Absinthe

    Well, peel my tangerines! Sorry for the Greendevil link. I did a Google search, and all the sites seemed to say the same thing. I'd heard about Thujone before, and that site was the most authoritative. [huh] It's a good thing the laws are changing now, and that American absinthe is not...

    The "Annoying Phrase" Thread

    Doesn't it?! Hearing this language used in real time, its like they're saying so much- yet, nothing at all. BTW, great Orwellian reference ;) Speaking of dating sites, yesterday's paper included a study of response rates for certain phrases. "How's it going" had the highest amount. A...

    A thread for the Petite Vintage Lady

    I agree about the capri pants. I can't wear them unless I want to look like a bowling pin. One look that does work, is rolled up jeans with high shoes, a la Christina in the Candyman video. She is petite herself!

    Thank you for the Gift of Hats!

    Wow, just when you think people can't be any nicer, eh? That is a lovely compliment. :) Are you planning on posting pictures? Inquiring minds need to know!

    Show us your hair do's....

    You look great, Christy! I will be trying out Lolita's tutorial soon too - I hope it looks as nice as yours does. Since I usually do my sets in sponge rollers too, can you tell us how you set your hair in the second photo? I have a party to go to soon, and I'd love to do that style.

    The Miracle of Absinthe

    Anecdote: Traditional absinthe is illegal to sell in the US, because it contains a chemical called Thujone, extracted from wormwood, which is banned by the FDA. As a result, American companies are now finding ways to filter out this chemical, and sell their brands of absinthe. It's always...
