    Pear shape body...

    I`m a pear as well, but I am not widest at the but. (Which I would love.) No, my widest point is a little down on my thights, hence the Norwegian term "Ridebukselår" which translates to "Riding Pants Thigts." Visual aid 1:One of the most common female body-types is named after this pants. And...

    red lipstick problem!!

    OK, this might sound disgusting, but it works: Discretely lick the rim of your glass before you drink. It really works, just make sure to only drink from the place you licked and you will leave no marks. Oh my, how stupid and disgusting this sounds, but it does the trick! I also have one...

    Ladies and cigarettes.......

    That is such a good chanse for you! Some years ago, Norway got the same laws. I love it, because allthough I still smoke it has made me naturally and painlessly cut back a lot! Where I would smoke 20-30 cigarettes in an evening before, I now only have 3-4 because I have to get outside for them...

    cosmetic organizers..

    I have a tiny bathroom and a lot of stuff! And no room for cabinets. So I use two of these, since they are small and narrow. It is CD racks from Ikea I have small baskets in the shelves for my make-up and stuff. The great thing is that the shelfes are adjustable in hight, so i have tall...

    1943 Article: "Eleven Tips on Getting More Efficiency Out of Women Employees"

    That is so funny, thanks for posting! Glad I live today, no matter how ugly the hipster pants are. I wonder if there are any counterparts to this articles? "Helpfull hints for learning your husband to help in the house"? I,m sure that would be just as funny!

    stretch mark coverage

    Just don't care! It is amazing what "flaws" we women can find on our bodies, often because we are fed with false beauty images that makes us belive that women should be flawless. The truth is, it is natural to be uneven, or "marked" or "flawed" in some way. Stretch marks is nothing wrong...

    Opinions, please

    If I saw these in a period movie, (20s, 30s)I would complain about the shape of the heel. But for use today, I think they are wonderful with a great vintage feling!

    Vintage Manicures

    Can you date that picture? Those are very pointy nails but the make-up looks 40s/50s to me. Interesting!

    How to tie a ponytail without elastic?

    Old Girl Scout as I am, I have found that the Double Half Hich (I think it is called in english) is the best knot for securing your hair with a scarf or a piece of string. You tie it like this: Arrange the rope in two loops and kind of put the one on top of the other. The black dot...

    Ideal bodies for the eras

    I am something like 37-31-38 and I feel your pain, sister!;) For my wedding dress, I wanted 30s style but I soon found out that the most typical 30style does not look good on me. It was too clingy and emphazised my hips more than I liked. What I did was that I used a original pattern...

    Question regards perming

    It worked well for me, that I can say. And since it seems to last very long, I think my hair can live with a perm every 2.year without beeing killed. Yep, Bergen is beautyful if you can stand the rain!

    Question regards perming

    Yes, it would. I have very fine hair, and before my wedding I had it permed to help it hold the curl in my wedding do. It really helped! The perm is still present, although not as strong, more than a year later. And I don't think it damaged my hair either! So I'm very pleased.

    Favorite liquid eyeliner

    I use loose eyeshadow. I mix it with water, and apply with a thin makeup-brush. but you could just as well use a aquarell brush from the hobby store, they come in many different sizes and qualities, are cheap and good. I use loose eyeshadow from Everydayminerals.com. They have one called...

    Vintage Daily Wear

    Thank you so much! I just wish I had this info a month ago, when I was making a prarie-dress that had to look that it had been lived in for a couple of years. I did the color-it-dirty-with-coffe-trick, but ended up smelling like coffee the whole time!

    the *stigma* with wearing red lipstick

    I LOVE red lipstick. (Actually, I love red everything.) I wear it often and proudly, breaking every red lipstick-rule in the book. (I DO wear it when I wear red clothing, or my red glasses, I DO wear shocking bright reds in daytime, I DO wear whatever color I like, never mind my skin tone....) I...

    Press cards in hats?

    Thanks for clearing that up! Now, I only have to find out about the press cards, and I can start sleeping again at night.....;)

    Press cards in hats?

    That is a very good point. I tried to look around the internet, but has so far only revielded a schocking big hole when it comes to press card history. I have also failed in finding a single photo of a 30s/40s press conference, so I can neither conferm or falsify the theory. This question...
