    What are you wearing today??

    I looked around a bit, and I think the embroidery on that lovely mustard yellow dress might be "shadow stitch" ("skyggesting") but I'm not entirely sure. We had a great time at the meetup! Hope you can come along next time, Tess. The highlight was when Mary got into a giggling fit over the...

    If you said you looked like one celebrity from the Golden Era...

    Oh, definitely! Sunny is a very Arthurian/Pre-Raphaelite beauty. Photographs by Julia Margaret Cameron (1815-1879)

    girls in guy's garb

    This is the promo picture for the upcoming Coco Chanel biopic which I'm sooo exited about. Audrey Tautou in drag - I'd do her! Cherrylips, I saw that pic of Edie Beale in BUST!

    1930's Makeup Tutorial

    That's so neat! Is that the same technique they used for beaded eyelashes, as in this famous Man Ray photograph, with a little wax bead at the end of each lash?

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    Oh, cool! (The blonde is a stunner too, that goes without saying.) We need a thread about vintage cross-dressing, don't we? Unless there's an old one already ... Edith: Whoosh, I found one about Girls in Guy's Garb. Miss 1929, I've taken the liberty to post the photos of your friends over there...

    If you said you looked like one celebrity from the Golden Era...

    Margaret Lockwood, maybe? I don't know that many golden age actresses, so it might just be my imagination ... And no, I don't think you look like Queen Silvia at all. I'm Anna too, by the way, so we're namesakes ;)

    My first thought was Virginia Woolf, actually. You have the same beautiful poetic and dreamy eyes. This is a great thread, I must remember to check it more often. :)

    Interesting vintage pin curl and waving tools

    Swinggal, I love the mint green colour of that curling tool! It must bakelite or some other type of early plastic, right?

    1930's Makeup Tutorial

    Ooh, thanks for posting! I've been wondering how those spider-leg lashes were done, like Jean Harlow's in this picture: Especially the lower lashes. Do you think it's just mascara, or are they false? They could also be painted on. My mom says she drew on her lower lashes in the mid-sixties...

    Interesting vintage pin curl and waving tools

    I don't know where I read this, but I believe these are for women who already had permanent waves put in or women with naturally wavy hair who needed something to coerce the waves into shape. That reminds me ... in German a perm is still called "Dauerwellen" (permanent waves), it could be a...

    What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?

    Pina Bridgette posted pics of some very nice wine shades on the previous page ... I like Bésame merlot. :)

    What Color Was That?

    Those colour names are so fascinating! I once posted a list with descriptions of fashion colours from the 1950s, one of them being Tête de Nègre, an ashy warm brown. I'll see if I can find that list again.

    What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?

    Tinseltown, I too have difficulties finding reds that don't look pink. Here's a couple that work for me (yellowish skintone, brown hair, hazel/green eyes): MAC You Say Tomato (ltd but could probably be found on ebay) and Lady Danger Bésame Red Hot Red and Carmine and Merlot

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    I've found these in a Norwegian webshop so they should be available in Europe! That violet colour is gorgeous ... and they would go so well with my screen name :)

    The 50's "Beatnik" Look

    I once watched a documentary on James Dean, and there was an interview with Seinfeld's mom, Liz Sheridan, who was his girlfriend at some point. She said that beat girls really stood out from the crowd because they never wore girdles or curled their hair. Here's a pic of her (the leotard!):
