    Steampunk, Dieselpunk, etc.

    I don't know that much about steam punk, but I love steam punk-themed RPG. Yes, I'm a geek, and not afraid to admit it!

    Children's Parties

    My mother is a writer, and her book-debut (coming out in the early 90s) was a "how-to"book on theme birthday parties for children. It was filled with "recipes" for great, cheap, easy to make-parties for kids in various ages. We are four kids, so all these parties was tried and tested many times...

    Press cards in hats?

    Seems to me that the hat would be the best for a Press-card in crowded situations, like press conferences. Imagine you are Elliot Ness, trying to give the press a brief orientation about the latest development in the case of The torso murderer. You are looking out over a sea of head, all pushing...

    Opinions on Victorian silhouettes

    That was the first idea that sprung to my mind while reading the first post here. Great minds think the same! LOL

    Opera, anyone?

    My oh my, that opera really has the most complicated, silly, stupid plot ever! Everybody constantly dressing up as albanians with big moustaches and fooling around....... Lovely, lovely music, though. Mozart rules! I really think no other composers reach Mozart to the knees when it comes to...

    mac cosmetics

    My sister uses this before applying make-up, and it really works. I'm gonna buy one myself. I also use this. I can't yet say that my pores has gotten smaller, (used it 1,5 weeks now), but it has just magically managed to wash away all my blackheads, so I'm hopeful!

    Fake eyelashes

    OK, girls, here are my fool-proof fake-lashes technique from my gothier days: 1)Do not use the glue that comes with the lashes. By a proffesional one. I like Kryolans. It last's forever, and you avoid the gastly spider-on-your-chin-look that a wayward set of eyelashes can give you. 2)It...

    "What IS she wearing!?" Unusual style in the good old days.

    I think it depends of the type of wedding, and where it was. To make your own dress, in good time, an making it blue on purpose, in a smaller town in Norway, was absolutely not normal! But then again, they were artists....;)

    "What IS she wearing!?" Unusual style in the good old days.

    I'll try to get a picture posted, it is really cute! Blue wedding dresses was not common at all, it was unhears of, at least in my grandmothers little part of the world. But I think she really just wanted to shake up her father, the Priest. ;)

    Noir Fiction

    Raymond Chandlers "The long goodbye" is from 1954, "Playback" is from 59. And you can't deny that's noir! And In my wiews, Noir can be a definitoin of style and feeling, no matter what decade the story is set in.

    "What IS she wearing!?" Unusual style in the good old days.

    My wonderful grandmother, who got married in the 40s, has never been like everybody else. As with all things in life, her taste in clothing was very individual. When she, a young, poor sculptor, married her equally poor painter, her weddingdress was something else. She recently showed it to me...

    Smoking in England banned from July 1st...

    I'm a smoker. Norway has had a anti-smoking law since 2004 , and I love it! I don't have to stink coming home from town, and I now only smoke the cigarettes that I want (because I have to step outside the bar,) and not just absent-mindedly smoking 20 in a night. And it makes sense to me that...

    Show Us Your Purchases!

    I got it today, and it's wonderful! For a stylish, but laid-back look I will try wearing it with my beloved black, high waisted sailor pants, and a small, plain black top inside. Or, for a little sexy twist, with only a nice black bra!

    Mythology: Greek & Others

    When I was about 10 years old, I became very interested in Greek and Norse mythology. I was a Christian and very strong in my childhood faith, but after reading all about the Greek and Norse gods, I figured that they had existed before Jesus, but was now old-fashioned and retired or dead. I...

    Oh the Stigma with wearing seamed fully fashioned stockings!

    Show Us Your Purchases!

    First vintage shopping in a long time..... This hooded, glamorous top is on its way to me now. I'm not sure it will fit properly, but hopefully I can alter it. It will go perfect with my vintage high-waisted sailor pants!

    ebay worries

    I don't know anything about US custom service, but have you checked if it's stuck there? A slim chance, maybe, since it is alarming that the seller does not answer you. Remember that if you paid through PayPal, I think they provide some kind of insurance for you. I do not know the details...

    Appropriate Dress to Wear As Wedding Guest. Black? Red?

    Someone once told my mother, when I was getting married, that she was the only one allowed to wear red. If i remember correctly. It was supposed to be a colour that only the mother-in-law could wear. Has anyone got Emily Post around? I'm sure she has written everything we need to know about...

    Across the Pond and Stuff!

    Norwegians were skirts, yes, but capris and such are also hugely popular. But when I visited Denmark in may, it were everywhere! Seems like the womans uniform in Copenhagen is: -short denim skirts -leggins -ballet flats or trainer -HUGE sunglasses balancing on tiny noses. What...
