    Oh the Stigma with wearing seamed fully fashioned stockings!

    Daisy, That is a really sweet story and to think that something like seamed stockings made those ladies' day! Congratulations, Auntie, too!

    Nothing but Seamed Stockings

    Not gone.... Sunny, Don't worry, that discussion is on this thread. There are actually 2 threads about stockings.

    Classic Style Summer Issue '07

    I just had to add that when Harry got home from work, he immediately latched onto the magazine. Actually, I rarely see him read and Classic Style kept him occupied for quite a while! I think he read it cover to cover in one sitting! Now that's saying something about Classic Style! I did peek...

    The Price of Thrift

    So, true, there's a lady in my area that sells only vintage clothing. She's supplied clothing for movie companies for several years. Even some people from Ralph Lauren came and purchased some of her stuff to use as inspiration for the clothing line. This lady has "pickers" all over the country...

    The Price of Thrift

    Amy Jeanne, its the 80s and 90s here in the Midwest too! That is the bulk of what I see in my local thrift stores. I laugh when I think about the TLC cable channel's commercial with a gal wearing 80s clothes and the male receptionist asking her where she parked her De Lorean. So if you see me in...

    One of my favorite places for beauty inspiration

    Jazzbaby, Just totally awesome! Lots of pictures I haven't seen before. I believe this is the largest collection of photos on a single website. Thanks for sharing. I'm sure I'll be spending many hours looking through it! Kudos! :eusa_clap

    Show us your hair do's....

    roots, I don't pay much attention to that indicator button. I usually plug mine in while I put my make-up on--usually its about 10 minutes or so. Once I plugged them in earlier and the indicator button was definitely black, but the sticks were extremely hot! My hair curls easy enough, so I...

    Oh the Stigma with wearing seamed fully fashioned stockings!

    I was just going to ask if the lady was a nurse! It sure looks like it.

    Show us your hair do's....

    Oooooh. Because of my fibromyalgia, I can't afford to have poor sleep. So, I guess I'll stick with the Hot Sticks for now, especially since I'm getting my hairstyle down...hey, if it isn't broke, why fix it? Maybe someday I can wear curlers to bed and sleep like a baby!

    Very nice, PD! Tell me, how well did you sleep in the hard rollers?

    Show us your hair do's....

    I usually put a tiny dab of the VO-5 in the palm of my hand and rub my hands together and then smooth my hands over the flyaway areas--for me, its the top of my head. As I said earlier, I discovered that if I smoothed it over my curls, it gave a much more shiny and smoother look. It looked...

    Cold Cream- Brands and advice!

    Thayers Rose Petal Witch Hazel Sunny, I get my Thayers at iherb.com. You can see it here. It also has aloe vera in it. If you type in Thayers in the search section on this website, you can find other witch hazel products by them. I think they have a lavendar version too, but I haven't tried...

    Another beauty secret.... VO-5 Hair dressing! I'd forgotten I had this stuff. A little dab will do ya. It really smooths your hair and makes it very shiny. I used some today because I thought my hair was a little too curly. I remember my grandmother having this on her dresser. Here's my...

    Cold Cream- Brands and advice!

    I don't know if you were referring to me, but at 48, I still have some adult acne. But since I'd started using the Pond's my skin is a whole lot better. I've used a lot of different facial cleansers in the past, but none have worked as well Pond's. I only use the Pond's at night because it...

    Cold Cream- Brands and advice!

    Exactly what was your routine when you were using the Pond's? And then what was your routine after you quit using the Pond's? It might give us a better idea what could of happened. Hormone problems will also contribute to breakouts.

    Pigeon toe, my hair has a slight wave to it, but it doesn't go the way I want it to. I'd say it's mostly straight. I use Garnier Fructis Pure Fix Spray, strong. Its a non-aerosole spray that doesn't leave a residue on your hair or gunk up. It can leave the hair feeling a little crunchy if you...

    Anabolina, that is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO cute! The hairstyle really suits your face. Good job on mastering the pin curls. I've yet to have them work for me. So I "cheat" with the hot sticks.

    Ring around the washing machine...

    Do you have your own water system? I live in a small town where everyone has their own well. If you live where the city provides your water, most likely it will be a lot softer than well water. I believe that you can find a test kit at most hardware/home stores to check the hardness of your water.

    They Say Em' From the Golden Era - Slang & Memorable Phrases

    I heard this one as a kid if I got between my dad and his football game on TV: "You make a better door than a window!"
