zombie_61 - I believe what you are tasting is HFCS. Look out for the Kosher for Passover Coke/mexican coke or other cane sugar sweetened soda and you will be amazed at the difference!
Congrats, Rita! What did you get? I've been on a bit of a MAC binge myself and can't wait for the couture collection in November. Supposedly it will be gold and art deco inspired!
My skin tone is a bit different but this looks somewhat close on my monitor:
The lipstick is by Lulu Beauty in Gene. It's one of my favorites. I love it!
Shrinking Violet & Laura Chase - those snapshots are so lovely! I am a fan of those candid poses.
Blondie - be still my heart! you are going to make us all so poor but we will have lovely red lippies! Thank you!

I'm not sure if anyone remembers these shoes I have that seem to have a distant vintage FL relative?
mine & distant Fedora Lounge relative
I just found these from Newport News! And not a bad price = $29.00 although I can't help but notice how the heel gets taller & taller :)...
How nice this topic came up, I have been stalking ebay for the past month to see what vintage different styles of jewelry chests are out there. I have my mother's old buxton jewelry chest but this modern Reed & Barton chest has caught my eye recently...
When I was at the outlets a few weeks ago, I stumbled on this Tommy Bahama dress that I thought had a very nice retro feel to it:

In case the link breaks, search for "floral spray dress" on...
Gah! I had such a hard time getting this pics right. The bit of sun I had went away as I was taking snaps. Hopefully I'll have better luck with the others...
Thank you for the encouragement Shrinking Violet! (Not so) Shockingly, I found 2 other lippies I had gotten off ebay but forgot about...
I just bought one of those new HD face powders that are out now. They seem to be most if not all silica and are reported to have light blurring properties to give a sort of "soft focus" look to your skin. This might be helpful for those of you having photoshoots!
Welcome Ruby! I know that eternal search all too well. I tend to keep a few lippies for blending, too. If I ever hit that magic combination, I swear I will melt it down and put it in one of my lip compacts and keep it forever and ever. :) I would love to see your combo!
Oh dear, I was putting together a list of reds I have picked up in the last several months and didn't realize how bad I have been! And to think I have been eyeing a few more red lippies (29 reserves & Shu Uemura). Sigh. I guess I'll have to put those plans on hold for the time being.

Pardon me for reviving this older discussion but I thought perhaps these UDT Navy Seal Swim Trunks might fit the bill for those of you seeking mens vintage style swimwear.

One thing to note is that since I...
How funny this topic came up, I've been thinking about getting braces on my bottom teeth for a while now. One of the front ones is getting pushed out and rubbing my lip the wrong way. I have an appointment next week for a consultation with my son's orthodontist. His braces were not cheap so I am...
I hope this is not breaking the rules but put this is the "Show us what you wish you could afford" category.
There is a terribly cute, whimsical Schiaparelli/Dalí rotary phone dial compact that just popped up in my email from ebay. It's not in sparkling condition but I think the age on it is...
That is such a lovely set! I would love to see the rest of the case.
All I have is this lovely little Frances Denney pamphlet/catalog (1937)
And I would like to know which luxury loving women were spending the $150 for the Deluxe Beauty Box - with cover!

Thanks for all the updates, ladies!
I recall hearing that they were coming up with some bakelite molds for their products, I thought I missed them but maybe its the new packaging?
Is it Max Factor Society Nail Tint and Nail White?
from the Max Factor wikipedia entry:
-- 1927: Creates "Society Nail Tint", a small porcelain pot containing rose colored cream. Applied to the nail and buffed, it gives a natural rose color. "Society Nail White" also hits the market. It's...
My favorite especially during winter is the shea body butter from body shop http://www.thebodyshop.com/bodyshop/browse/product_detail.jsp?productId=prod4010006&categoryId=cat20065
and for the rest of the year, molton brown coco de mer http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00135IE6I?smid=A24K1YQ3FP92D1

Boombebe, cute pic! That red really suits you.
Blondie, thanks! Mine are ziploc'd in the fridge but I have no idea if that really does anything. I've been trying to wear and photograph a different color almost every day this past week because I feel so guilty about neglecting them. Also...
AnnaMaria,
Here is a link for some hawaiian fabric in rayon I saved a while back: http://www.hawaiianfabric.com/content/rayon.cfm but I haven't purchased any so I do not know the quality.
I have purchased from barkcloth hawaii several years ago (upholstery weight fabric) and they were...
