    Beauty secrets of famous ladies

    I confess I don't know how common it is to be born without the lower ribs. One might not know unless they were thoroughly examined or even x-rayed. I'm just glad rib removal hasn't become 'mainstream'. I love the hourglass shapes of the past, but I also like how women have accepted the more...

    Best beauty decision you've made?

    My best beauty decision would have to be embracing my curls. I grew up hating them and always wishing/wanting the shiny, swingy, slick hair all my friends had. I couldn't get it to feather into the '70s wings that were popular, and whenever my mother cut it "to make it more manageable", it would...

    Translucent brows...ungh

    I've had this done by a stylist, and also done it myself at home. The trick is in keeping the color on the eyebrows for a much shorter period of time than the hair on your head. It's usually a softer texture and is 'virgin' in that it hasn't gone through the years blow-dried, dyed, and pulled...

    Beauty secrets of famous ladies

    I don't know about molar removal, but historically, rib removal is purported to be a myth. One could die from the simplest of surgeries in Victorian times, let alone something major, so why take the risk when the tiniest of waists was and still can be accomplished with a corset if Mother Nature...

    Keratin Smoothing, Brazilian Blow-outs, etc. and Vintage Hairstyles

    I have seen these keratin treatments on the shelves and wondered if they were worth the money. I believe one even said it would wash out after a couple of days? I'm thinking of trying the Ion brand from Sally Beauty, just haven't got around to it on time. The idea of keeping my hair straight for...

    Curler help needed!

    All of this talk about curlers and setting makes me wonder - does anyone know of a good site that shows which types of curlers produce which type of curl? I know it's highly individualistic as far as outcome because we all have different hair types, but I still think it would be helpful to see...

    Translucent brows...ungh

    Nyx has an auburn eyebrow powder that I've used with great success. It's a teeny bit redder than in this swatch. My eyebrows are were 'translucent' on the outer edges due to out of control hypothyroidism several years ago and while I was a redhead, I used theirs. It comes with a little brush...

    Nashville- Vintage Hairstyling Workshop with Lisa Freemont Street- August 27th 2-4 PM

    Oh no! It's in town and I can't go that weekend! :( Glad she's doing this though - maybe Nashville will have a bunch of newly-trained stylists and I'll be able to find one when it's time for a trim.

    Everyday Women of the Golden Era

    Oops, I feel silly. Yes, huaraches are what I was thinking of - for some reason thought escadrilles which they are most certainly not. Thank you for the correction! But they are huaraches? Didn't realize those were worn at that time. Cool.

    Everyday Women of the Golden Era

    Like this photo too - the car, the pose, everything. But, is she wearing espadrilles? Were those worn in that period?

    Show us your hair do's....

    RedSquare, your hair looks great. I can see a difference between these photos and one you posted previously - your rolls have improved and it appears you have GOT IT! Way to go. This style suits you very much.

    What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?

    In the spirit of red shades, here's a nice little shot of swatched reds from different brands: And these: Or... and... Maybe we should start our own sticky thread of 'Red Lipstick Swatches', kind of like over at Spektra? Could be very useful.

    What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?

    Exactly, C-dot. I don't wear red lipstick for them! If the shade I choose or the outfit I picked that morning doesn't please them, I'm sorry, but their happiness was not my goal. Besides, I recognize we all have different tastes. If I'm happy and I feel good, then what's the problem? :)

    It's very pretty and vintage. By the way, I LOVE your eyeglasses!!!

    What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?

    I agree with this, C-dot, so much. The first day I wore saddle shoes to work with a skirt, I felt a little self-conscious because my work environment has condescending cliques who can be pretty vocal about their judgments. But I LOVE them and I was hellbent on enjoying them so I just let it go...

    What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?

    I don't know, I'd say it depends on the source of the comments. Some have the opinion that makeup should be subdued and natural, ala Bobbi Brown-style. That's one look, but not usually the vintage one. Use your own judgment about which shade looks good for you and wear it proudly. If that takes...
