Sky Captain hair
a few posts down the page of this thread, http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?t=14683&page=3 fortworthgal mentions some combs she bought that she uses for a similar style...might be worth looking into! On my hair, I am able to use barrettes because my hair is super thick (most... -
Sky Captain hair
Thank you, JBD! I always worry about how my hair looks - I think it's one of the most important aspects of creating the vintage look! -
Where's my Cocktail?
Tonight, there is a lovely concoction of white cranberry-strawberry juice and vodka waiting for me when I get home. I'm ill, I'm exhausted, and quite frankly I don't feel like thinking anymore!- Kim_B

question on manners and compliments
I think it's more difficult for men when it comes to commenting/complementing women - so many things this day in age can be misconstrued as sexual harassment (not saying any one here would stoop to that level, but you know how some folks interpret things using the most negative intent, even if...- Kim_B

Sky Captain hair
This is how I do my hair - I don't have the patience to do the reverse rolls - I can never get them to look right and they always look like I have growths on the sides of my head! -
vintage music!
Lately I've been listening to a lot of Patsy Cline (her voice gives me chills), Peggy Lee, Ella Fitzgerald, and Ruth Brown. I also have a collection of CDs titled "Rock and Roll Era" and have 1954-1961 programmed on my iPod. -
My very first vintage purchase!
Don'tcha just love it when the stars align and you get a good buy and something that fits well!? :)- Kim_B

Carole Lombard October 6, 1908 – January 16, 1942
I just learned this the other day, but Carole Lombard was born in Ft Wayne Indiana, which is where I grew up. Apparently a couple bought the house she was born in and turned it into a B&B. I can't tell you how many times I've been by this house and not even realized what it was...- Kim_B

Show Us Your Purchases!
I love me some shoes!!! I have yet to find a pair of vintage shoes that fit me properly, so for now I rely on vintage-inspired (and, like Elaina, I suppose I have a hard time wearing pre-worn shoes...just...as Marge Simpson would say "warm and moist"). Payless and Target have been my two...- Kim_B

Down With Love.
"Down With Love" is on my list of rainy day movies...you know those days where you just don't feel like doing anything but staying home and getting cozy on the couch with some hot tea or hot cocoa? The first time I saw this movie I wasn't thrilled about it, but after each viewing I find new...- Kim_B

Can't forget about some of the gems featured on MST3K! My personal favorite was "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians" in all it's cheesy glory. Man I miss MST...off to YouTube to see what I can find!- Kim_B

Plus Size Vintage
I think showing the clothing on the appropriate sized model is a wonderful idea, but if such a person isn't available, I'd be ok with a mannequin, so long as you state that the clothing is clipped back...hangers don't do much for me - I like to see how the garment lays before I decide to buy...- Kim_B

When I'm too lazy to cook it myself, I'll head to Cracker Barrel where their Pot Roast is almost as good as mine. -Beef & Noodles/Chicken & Noodles (of course with mashed potatoes) -Home-made Macaroni & Cheese -varenyky (pierogies...- Kim_B
