Is it rude/inconsiderate to wear red to a wedding?
I think any colour, apart from what shade the bride is wearing is fair game really. I have worn black to a few weddings. I think upstaging the bride by wearing her colour is the major faux pas. These days i think the majority of people are fairly relaxed about wedding attire, perhaps even a...- Miss sofia

What makeup are you wearing today?
Tishkaminx - Love your new avatar by the way, you look very pretty. I have very sensitive skin, combination. I tried the DW and i loved it. But it broke me out like nobody's business. I do still use it for special occasions as i love the finish and obviously the staying power. I didn't find it...- Miss sofia

Celluloid, Bakelite, Lucite and other vintage plastics
Lina - I agree totally with Lily Powers. I refuse to pay the extortionate prices a lot of the dealers charge, just based on the fact an item is Bakelite, let alone a rare or unusual piece. I have been lucky in that i have managed to find a few bargain pieces, just by trawling boot fairs and...- Miss sofia

Were there no 6'2" people born before the 1950's?
For the record, my great uncle Frank, was 6' 3" in his stockings. He was born in 1918. My brother who is also rather tall inherited his wardrobe. Lucky boy. I do sympathise with you chaps on the clothing front tho'.- Miss sofia

Celluloid, Bakelite, Lucite and other vintage plastics
I meant stackers, not spacers, apologies. Actually your bracelet is the same as mine aside from the colour. In my book there is a picture of a lady wearing an armful of them, lo and behold your chocolate brown one is there too! Thanks for the fakelite link. Very informative. I try to just buy...- Miss sofia

Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage
Kamikat - Don't you love it when that happens! I think this has been said before, but small children, babes in arms really, seem to find red lipstick fascinating. I have also had nice compliments from little girls. I tend to look reasonably colourful, plus what girl, big or small, doesn't like...- Miss sofia

Vintage make up for eyeglass wearers
Same here. I wear glasses and contacts and i don't really think much about my makeup when wearing either. To be honest i don't really have time to give it much consideration. Just slap on that slap and go! Investing in some great 50's specs with loads of business and rhinestones was one of my...- Miss sofia
