Help me accessorize this Outfit!
As long as the necklace isn't very long, I think it will be ok. With bare shoulders & a somewhat low neckline - you have a lot of skin to show off some jewelry. Instead of a wrap for added color - what about fresh flowers in your hair?- Vanessa

Eyebrow Grooming
My eyebrows are so fine and light in color that I'm too paranoid they'll be ruined forever if I have them 'done' by someone. Eek! What if they take too much off? A lifetime of drawing them back on? No thanks. I'll stick to tweezing. -
Help me accessorize this Outfit!
Don't shorten! Put down the scissors! I'm sure you could easily find a matching grosgrain or silk ribbon in the lavender or white for a belt. I like the white net shoes over the clear plastic ones. (Those scream evening to me). For a more summery look, you could wear espadrilles with a...- Vanessa

Famous Restaurants
Menus from cruises from the 30s - 50s pop up on ebay all the time. They're a great resource for what would have been served in the different class dining rooms.- Vanessa

Help with finger waves
Ditto. I can't use metal hair combs of any sort. My fine, straight hair would always tangle dreadfully. I get the plastic faux-tortoise shell ones now. -
Show us your hair do's....
I had both editions (and just sold my first one). I happen to like the 2nd edition better - I think she did a more thorough job & I like the range of hairstyles better.
