    Care to join my no eating after 7 p.m. (EDIT) or 3 hours before bed thread?

    My father is 62, I don't think he has ever been over 130. Like me, he always eats a meal before bed. My Brother at 6'1, I don't think has been over 160, my grandfather and grandmother were never over 130 either, yet we all eat a lot. I think it has more to do with genetics, less to do with...

    Care to join my no eating after 7 p.m. (EDIT) or 3 hours before bed thread?

    Is this really apt to improve health, not eating three hours before bed? Is this better for digestion, or? I have always found it to be quite helpful to have a snack before bed, generally something carbie and easy on the stomach like a bowl of ceral or some toast. 8+ hours is a lot of time...

    Preppy is not 1930's

    I think preppy can encompass many looks. Madras, blue blazers, argyle, tweed, cable knit sweaters, deck shoes. To me preppy is not really a dressed up style, rather it is more one that is dress down and sporty while still looking polished, I don't nessicerily think that suits are preppy, unlss...

    "Who Doesn't want to look like Marilyn"Nina's in the UK

    On the note of vintage hair, does anyone notice how women back in the golden era were always at the beauty parlor, getting thier hair coifed and then wear it that way until they did it again? Does anyone actually do this today? It dosn't seem like a bad idea...

    Pictures of Ladies with Hair Adornments

    So many people recreating vintage looks wear flowers in thier hair. Was this a popular look at one time to wear with dresses, or just something modern. I have never seen this vintage look outside of gals wear it with swimsuits. Anyone have any vintage pics showing what type of flowers worn?

    The size of the female starlet today VS Golden Era.

    Oh wow thanks for the info. I was looking at these gowns and saying "How in the WORLD would anyone put those on without weighing 85 lbs" I bet for the most part female stars ( with some exceptions) are probably healthier. They probably keep thier figures by eating healthy and excercising...

    How Were Your Times Growing Up?

    I am a child of the 80's. The 1980's were a great time to grow up in. A lot of my memories are of the great cartoons of the day, there was really an explosion of great shows and cartoons for kids, especially on Saturday mornings. I suppose this was the real beginning of the computer age because...

    The size of the female starlet today VS Golden Era.

    So exactly how small were the starlets of yesteryear? Most of them must have been under 110 lbs...probably much smaller then today's starlets.Or maybe they wore shapewear? A local store to me has just bought up a huge amount of clothing from Paramount studios from the 1930's and on and is...

    Frustration with necklines

    For me, I never layer a low cut top, but then again, I'm petite ( 30C, yes, that is a bra size!) so I think I can get away since my bust is not large. I actually love low cut necklines, they make me feel sexy and fine, as do short dresses and shorts ( I loved the past seasons retrograde to the...

    I recently adopted 4 pound maltese and she generally goes everywhere with me since she is an older doggie and came from a neglectful home. She generally rides in my Louis Vuitton Alma wit her head popping out, she loves going in that purse. Since I have gotton her, I have not really been able to...

    Frustration with necklines

    I love layering! I layer a girly beater in a nice color from jcrew, or a pretty cami under most of my vintage dresses, especially if they are sheer. I also wear them at night as a pajama top with cropped pants. Girly beaters are a staple of my wardrobe, the men had the right idea when the...

    Frustration with necklines

    I don't think low necklines are a problem ( take a look at my avatar hehe), I think a low neckline can be sexy and fun at the right time and place. I mean obviously you arn't going to wear the dress to church, but you can wear something with a low neckline out at night, or in the day if you want...

    How 'vintage' is your name?

    Mine is Nicoletta and my middle name is Rose. Rose was popular in the early 1900's, but I don't think Nicoletta has ever been popular in this country, it is popular in Italy though.
