For once vintage in a positive way on TV
I'm really confused, I can't find the other thread anywhere on here? I also didn't realise this was a tv show, and that the editing was completely fabricated. I have to say though, that allowing the Daily Fail to interview one requires a lot of faith in the goodness of humanity, which I am...- Drappa

For once vintage in a positive way on TV
Possibly, but you don't have to prove people right, and they may be surprised. All the vintage girls I know in real life are quite self-sufficient, and many are feminists. The women interviewed there didn't just dress like it because they love those eras, but sounded like they were hiding from...- Drappa

For once vintage in a positive way on TV
I'm sure the Daily Mail link got nasty comments not because these people dress vintage or collect things, but because every one of them was glorifying strict gender roles and the article made them sound holier than though - ie. my marriage is so much better because he works and I don't, I always...- Drappa

Oooh, that is brilliant! It took me lots of calling around and checking the website as well, but it was worth it. I love them! We're now all shoe-sisters... :D- Drappa

Really? I have the opposite problem, the three around here usually only have large sizes in whatever I like. I wish they had a better online shop.- Drappa

^Yes, me too Miss Sofia" I ventured into TK Maxx today to check if they had a box-pleat wide 50s tweed skirt I have been coveting in my size, which they did - last one, too. To top it off, I found a pair of elbow length Dents leather gloves, which I have been looking for for two years now, for...- Drappa

Scalp treatment
My first thought would be honey. It works on dry chapped lips and is good for your hair, though depending on the thickness may be difficult to get out. I did a honey hair mask years ago and it was lovely. -

Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage
I went to have my hair cut last Friday and my hairdresser and I were talking about colours etc., and he said "Don't take it the wrong way, but you have a really distinctive look. You look like you stepped right out of the 50s." It makes me so happy when people get the era right as well! A few...- Drappa

Semi-Formal Wedding in NYC- What?
I'm pretty sure the fad for no stockings/hosiery is linked to the oh so modern and emancipated idea that women show off more and more of their bodies to prove their fitness and attraction. I read somewhere recently that wearing girdles and showing less of your body could be interpreted as kinder...- Drappa

Semi-Formal Wedding in NYC- What?
Every wedding I ever went to had almost all the women, including bridesmaids and brides, in sandals (except my own). I don't actually think there's anything wrong with that, there are some beautiful sandals to be had and lots have more bling on them than closed-toe shoes. However, flip flops and...- Drappa

Hooded driers
Amazon and Ebay! The hose ones sell on both for £6-7, and you can get both new or vintage hooded ones on a stand for £18-80. -

I like the "heel condoms" as well - shame I can't wear heels at the moment. Wahine, I can totally see a pretty ribbon on those shoes (nice shoes, btw.)!- Drappa
