    Show Us Your Purchases!

    Out of all the things I've purchased on eBay or in the stores, nothing was over $40, and it's unlikely that I would ever spend more than that on any clothing item. Books, on the other hand... And yes, I'm a bit frugal.

    Some questions about vintage clothing for everyone.

    Not every day; I'm still trying to decide just how vintage I want to dress on a regular basis. After purchasing a few vintage dresses from eBay, I've found I'm most comfortable in pencil skirts and sweaters/blouse combinations. I think I'll save the dresses for a special occasion! As for...

    Doesn't Beauty Start With A Smile?

    I agree! I tend to smile when passing people in the halls or on the street - it's not as if I wander around with a maniacal grin about my face! I do believe the only people who are capable of smiling 24/7 are those with plastic surgery gone awry! ;)

    The Good German

    Hubby and I saw this over the weekend. I'll admit that I was a bit antsy and wasn't really sure I was in the mood to watch a movie, but I figured I'm interested in the subject, I'm always up for seeing great costumes, and c'mon, it's George Clooney... While the film itself was aesthetically...

    Do You Get Easily Obsessed?

    Short answer, yes. I become obsessive with certian things and they hold my interest level for months at a time. I like LizzieMaine's outlook on it:

    Doesn't Beauty Start With A Smile?

    My Grandmother always said this to me as well! I always try to keep a smile on my face - people tend to be a lot more friendly when you're smiling!

    Conversation: A Lost Art

    I hate small-talk, to the point that I will avoid it if I can. And like LadyStardust, I hate participating in the mundane office talk that always seems to revolve around "Did you hear so-and-so...?" I am often labeled as quiet and shy just because I'm not constantly jabbering about pointless...

    Vintage Makeup Favorites

    I just recently found the perfect shade of red lipstick! Like you, most look very bright and overpowering on me. I took a chance though and tried the Bare Minerals lipstick in Cupid (in my avatar); it goes on like a dream, and last a good amount of time. I apply it with a brush to avoid applying...

    Oh, the Stigma of an Astigmatism. . .

    I was just searching the boards for topics on eyeglasses - how I missed this one the first time around is beyond me! Miss Dottie & Miss Bella Hell, you are both so cute in your specs! I just love vintage frames! :)

    Which Historical Lunatic Are You? (quiz)

    You are Charles VI of France, also known as Charles the Mad or Charles the Well-Beloved! A fine, amiable and dreamy young man, skilled in horsemanship and archery, you were also from a long line of dribbling madmen. King at 12 and quickly married to your sweetheart, Bavarian Princess...

    Puppini Sisters

    I can't say I love them...they're alright. One of the girls has the most beautiful voice I've heard in a long time. I'm guessing it's the brunette gal, from some other things I've heard from her. I don't particularly care for their rendition of "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" as it just sounds jumbled...

    Sky Captain hair

    I agree - I think Dita looks stunning with dark hair! Speaking of curling irons, several years ago I received one for my birthday but it's not your typical curling iron - it's one of those heated air brushes that looks like a curling iron, and let me tell you this thing creates curls that...
