    The S?ºdwester- Slouch Hats of the German Colonies-

    If I translate correctly, "Sûdwester" means "south-west." In Norwegian, that is "Sydvest" which also is a name for this very traditional hat. (It is made of rubber, to protect against the nasty weather.) The name connection, is it there or is it just me being stupid?;)

    Oh the Stigma with wearing seamed fully fashioned stockings!

    Thank you! It is so nice to get answers to what you wonder. (I am like a four-year old, I always want to ask and get to know everything!)

    Oh the Stigma with wearing seamed fully fashioned stockings!

    Potato, potao. :p No, just kidding. Now that you mentioned it, I remember hearing something about that. Sailor it is, then. But what is the difference, who are sailors and who are marines? I am guessing, (wikipedia was not clear,) that marines serve in United States Marine Corps, and the sailors...

    Radio re-enactments

    When I arranged a LARP set in 1930s P.G. Wodehouse-inspired England, we had a realistic 1930s radio broadcast going all day. It was wonderful group of people who made it for us, just because they thought it was fun. They made different variety shows, all very good. It sounded like they had fun!

    Oh the Stigma with wearing seamed fully fashioned stockings!

    I agree, that stockings look really white. And, to judge by this picture, wearing white stockings makes handsome marine nuts about you! So they are good for something, after all.;)

    Perfect foundation/face powder

    There are many brands of mineral make-up, I myself prefer Everyday Minerals. (everydayminerals.com). Mineral make-up was a whole new sensation for me with my oily skin an occasionally acne. Before, I had to choose between looking overly painted or looking a bit spotty, but mineral make up both...

    Oh the Stigma with wearing seamed fully fashioned stockings!

    I have no idea about white stockings in the past, but I do know that a shiny, sheer pair can look quite nice with light summer dresses. I have been known to wear that, I didn't know it was "unheard of". When I was a little girl, nothing said "party" or "occasion" like wearing white pantyhose...

    Cold Cream- Brands and advice!

    Thanks to you all for helping! I used it nigh and morning, massaged it in and then removed with hot water and terry cloth. Then i removed residues with tonic. (I tried different brands, with no noticeable difference in skin. I alternated day by day, so it is not like a specific tonic causes the...

    Cold Cream- Brands and advice!

    So, I bought Ponds on the net and started the regime. In the beginning, I really like the feel of it and my skin was pretty good. But after using it about three-four weeks, I experienced the worst breakout I have had in years! I went of the cold cream, and has almost not used it for...

    Model or Not?

    I agree with the rest of the ladies here. The most important thing for me is to se e the item on something at least remotely body-like. A dress laid flat or hung seldom tells me anything, if I ever buy one showed like that it must be really cheap so I am willing to take the chance! I am not...

    "Lazy" Vintage Hair Ideas

    I have no pictures, but my fool-proof vintagey hairstyle is the dirdle-look: (Is that the right word?) You braid your here in to braids and put them up around the head. Here modeled by the over-rated Norwegian actress Liv Ullmann. I also do this very impressive-looking hair knot with a...

    becoming an interior

    Yup, that's right! I am working on my master in interior architecture now, and when I finish I will have studied at least 5 years, that's as long as a nurse. You don't want nurses to just start out without training, do you? ;) As you can see, we get a little protective! :p I also really...

    What Home Improvement Project did you start only to hate it?

    Recipe for frustration 1)Try to peel of old, ugly 70s wallpaper. 2)Find that wallpaper is very stuck on wall. 3)Plan to put new wallpaper over old one. 4)Find even though the wallpaper is very stuck in some places, it is very loose in others, so you can't glue the new one on top. 5) Try...

    The lack of Pedestrian culture in America

    I remember when I was ten, my family went to Orlando, Florida. I remember when we went out to eat at a pizza restaurant that was literary right across the street from the hotel. It felt very surreal when we had to drive there, as it would have been impossible to cross the street any other way!

    What's cooking?

    Tonight, Beef Lindstroem. It's a "beef" made of hamburger meat, boiled potatoes, picled cucumbers, picled red beets and some some green berry-like things I don't know the english name for. (Kapers.) Served with fried potatoes and gravy, and my own bean salad. Yoummi! This is a very vintage...

    Got Tiki?

    I love tiki! It never was much of a thing here in Norway, though, although Thor Heyerdahsl adventure on a raft to the Polynesia in 1947 spawned some of a interest in polynesian culture. Kon Tiki raft. And now Oslo has got it's first real tiki bar, the Aku-aku Tiki bar. This is inspired...

I am thinking the "classic comfy fit." Or the "straigth"? Or the "baggy"? AArgh, it's really annoying that they don't...

    interior design

    You start with finding out where all the things in the room should be. ;) In other words, take a look at the room. What activities do you like to do there, other than sleeping.( Or is it only sleeping?) Do you want a reading chair, or a work table, or a make-up table, or something else? Each...

    Besame cosmetics

    Good idea, but with the shipping rates they have I think it will be cheaper ordering by ourself. Plus, I try to not go over the 200kr moms-rule.
