    Best way to do finger waves for 20's couture look?

    Help with nailing an era

    I think hair is very much what makes a 1940s look - 1940s. Without it, the look can't really be pulled off. Personally, I'm not a fan of taking inspiration from pin-ups because they weren't how everyday women dressed at the time. In the day, no woman wanted to be associated with calendar girls...

    Men in the PR -- Poll (WOMEN ONLY)

    Good to see ladies speaking out. People have been programmed to steer away from difficulty or controversy these days. Doing the right thing is not easy and stressful, but many people only care about themselves. I don't have a lot of tolerance for those with a 'victim blaming' mentality and who...

    Missing posters

    I guess I don't post a lot any more because many of the old gang here that I liked have gone or rarely post. I also feel that that sometimes opinions are stifled. I'm not talking about rudeness, sexism, politics etc, just opinions. I also don't like the creepy factor of those men who try to...

    Men in the PR -- Poll (WOMEN ONLY)

    Yes. I don't post in FL much any more either, and I am long time member too. I would be the first to say that in my 'actual' life that many of my closest friends are male, but they are not sexist or misogynistic in any way, unlike some of the men here. Most men at FL are NOT like that of...

    The Passing Away of John Erickson, Fellow Lounger and Friend to Many.

    I met Jon in 2010 when I went to a FL event on the Queen Mary and we kept in touch on FB after that. He was lovely to me while I was in LA and really was a gentleman. So sorry to hear of his passing. :(

    What vintage won't you wear?

    I am a 1930s gal but I am not a fan of the huge jabots and bows of the mid 30s. I love and wear flutter sleeves often but the extreme flouncey bows are not for me. Thankfully, they were only one of many styles during the era :)

    Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries - Aussie 20s TV series

    Sadly, the costuming is not particularly correct...even in series 2. As an Aussie, I was excited to hear this series was being made a few year ago, but after a few eps I was meh. There are many vintage experts and collectors of 20s clothing here in Australia (Mojito being one of them) that could...
