    lunch at Woolworths... :( I miss Woolworths too!:( When I was in Jr. High we used to go there for a hot dog and soda after school. But this was in the early '80's and had all the cheesy plastic dining furniture, not the great soda fountains of days past... When I was elementary school...

    Vintage Bathing Suits

    Beach/pool shoes? OK, so I have the bathing suit. But what do you wear on your feet? I'm not a flip flop kind of gal, and although I would love to wear a pair of those high heeled mules or espadrilles, I have visions of falling on my face:eusa_doh: and I think modern sandals or beach shoes...

    What's your 'couple' song

    "I Only Have Eyes for You" by the Flamingos - was playing when we first said those "I Love You's". It was also our wedding song a year later. To this day, (18 years, 3 houses, and 4 kids later) if it comes on the radio, we will dance to it. Providing of course we are not driving in the car at...

    Polka Dot: Don't feel that you can't do anything with your hair now, have you tried pin curls? My hair is between 1" and 3" all over. I'm growing out (or attempting to:) ) a pixie. I pin curl my hair and it really can be arranged in a way that you wouldn't notice all the layers. I start...

    21" long hair straight hair how do i get it to look 1940's 50's.

    ] I know I am going a bit :offtopic: here, but I couldn't resist sharing a memory... My dear aunt passed away a few months ago at 85. She always took pride in her long red hair (colored the same shade as she aged, as when it was naturally red when she was younger). She always set it (this...

    Anyone ever try Ryler Stylers?

    Well I don't recommend trying to sleep in them!:) I usually set my hair slightly damp, after I have added my setting lotion. My hair is unfortunately, very fine and thin so it doesn't take too long to dry. But having said that, I only use these rollers when I know I can keep them for most...

    Anyone ever try Ryler Stylers?

    I accidently came across these while searching for something else. www.adiscountbeauty.com/page404.html Since I'm a sucker for any type of hair gadget, I had to buy them.My hair is short, so I got the small size, they look real goofy on, but they give a nice wave and are easier to use (for...

    Face Powder Face Off

    I also have both Coty and Besame powders. Basically, for me, the difference is price. The Besame has a heavenly smell and is very light, but the Coty is more cost effective for everyday use. I stopped using Besame's foundation because I thought it was too heavy and after adding powder and...

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    GoldLeaf, those shoes are gorgeous!! I'm a tall gal too and I get so disappointed when every "vintagey" shoe has at least a 3 inch heel! I don't worry so much about being taller than my husband, as much as I worry about falling on my face:D
