    Beauty secrets of famous ladies

    According to the biography Dietrich's daughter wrote, Dietrich would make very small braids with the fine hair next to her face and pull them up and back to pin them into place, providing a "lift" to the face. She also talked about makeup tricks Dietrich would use to make her eyes appear larger...

    Girl Crushes!

    I will always stop and watch a film with Eve Arden in it: I've always wanted to look like Lauren Bacall:

    "Can streetcars save America's cities?" ~ cnn.com

    Of course the current system is corrupt; no one is held accountable to their political dealings with stuff like this instead of creating a network that actually works. That doesn't make the idea of public transportation "outdated", it makes it a bigger challenge to fix is all. If people were...

    Redhead/Ginger?

    I know that Southpark made fun of people making fun of redheads with the whole "Gingers have no soul" tagline(which my fellow redheads and I have a lot of laughs about). I don't know when the current round of uberbullying started with redheads, but this round does seem to be fairly new. RD

    Redhead/Ginger?

    Eh, I definitely got razzed for being a redhead as a child out here in California. It was NOTHING compared to the horror stories I hear coming out of the UK, though. Speaking of, I'm going to London for the first time later this month...I wonder if adult redheads get grief for our hair color in...

    I have very oily skin and use witch hazel straight out of the bottle; no dilution needed. RD

    The Kings Speech - a Critique

    OF COURSE an Anglophile would have that response to the film, but I think for a subject that most Americans don't know anything about, this film is an engaging introduction to that time in history. Considering how boring most people find history to be, the film piqued my interest in wanting to...

    Which is your favorite Golden Age movie studio

    Thalberg-era MGM was the best of MGM, in my opinion. Nothing makes me happier than to see a Warners movie, though. Up until the 50's they were the most consistent. RKO isn't too far behind them. RD

    Hollywood Baby Snatcher

    As horrible as she may have been, to me this says a lot about how society views adoption and adoptees more than what Tann did herself. Because adoptees are expected to be "grateful" for being adopted, they're not supposed to ask for pesky little things like their medical records or family tree...

    No More Pontiacs

    They lost their way rather thoroughly. I had a 1996 Grand Am GT that I loved dearly...it was a pretty good car, but unfortunately it met an early demise four years ago, and at that point I looked at what Pontiac was offering and my reaction was, "EUGHGHGDFJKGHERITYIGH". Which is not good. :) I...

    Struggling with my 'look'??

    Have you tried going with a trusted friend out for shopping? Sometimes having an outside set of eyes helping you out can make a world of difference, too! RD

    How tall are you, Ladies?

    Wait...WHAT?! I'm your height, and I don't remember the guys in Texas overall being shorter than 5'10" when I visited/worked there seven years ago! Isn't everything and everyone supposed to be bigger in Texas? I can't believe all the "tall drinks of water" are in hiding! :) RD

    What's your favourite Red Hair colour?

    Seconded, thirded, fourthed, etc. Henna is for those who want to have red hair and keep it. If you like changing your hair color a lot, henna is NOT for you. Go the semi-permanent route if you're a hair color chameleon! RD

    Hiding bobby pins

    If your hair was an unnatural shade of red, then no, I don't think there are pins that would match that. For natural redheads, the closest I've found are the usual brown/blonde pins that blend in OK...well, much better than black pins! :D RD

    Hypo-allergenic or natural hair dyes...

    Henna takes some playing with to get the hang of it. It's kind of "old school" in that it's not excessively "user friendly", but I prefer using it to chemical hair dyes. It's definitely something that takes a lot more prep and thought to use than regular dyes. Yes, it can be messy. I always...

    Ben Nye foundation and powder visage

    Ben Nye is professional makeup used for tv and stage, so I'd imagine that for everyday wear, it'd be a bit over-the-top. RD

    Exercise and vintage style

    I won't claim to know whether working out multiple times a day for multiple days every week is unnecessary(especially since I've been known to do that myself :p ), but it sure doesn't help if one is trying to look like she's not working out while doing all that working out. LadyL: what...

    SPARTACUS: BLOOD AND SAND

    With the warning they give at the beginning of each episode about trying to recreate the Roman era, it makes me wonder how much they're making up with the latin syntax and phrasing. I'm liking the style of the speech overall, and from what little I've studied about ancient Rome, they certainly...
