Congrats on losing weight! My ex is going through the same thing right now! He went from 300lbs to about 220 at his lowest. Right now he's maybe around 240. Luckily, he didn't wear vintage suits (only Pendeltons, he did the greaser look), when he was at his biggest.
Because his weight keeps...
I'm pretty much in agreement with KY Gentleman. I'm only bothered if people truly don't CARE what they are wearing or don't care how they present themselves. To me, that's boring and lazy! I'd much prefer to see someone all decked out in a cowboy outfit or hip-hop clothes if that's truly what...
RIP Bettie!
Bettie was what got me into everything vintage at the tender age of 13! She was such a beauty, and so much easier to relate to than the models of today. She will be missed!
Besides the basics, the only "vintage" I really eat (especially when I'm not at home), are from international cuisine. When I'm at my ex's house I eat a lot more vintage than normal (can anyone say delicious Mexican food cooked by a grandma? Yum!).
If I had the time and skills to cook a nice...
If anyone lives in the SF Bay Area, right now the Vintage Flamingo (http://www.yelp.com/biz/the-vintage-flamingo-san-anselmo) in San Anselmo has some Remix shoes for 30% off! I haven't checked them out yet, but will be going sometime this week.
Just don't buy them in a size 6 please! ;) Just...
For some reason I kind of find it sweet with them, but I would never do that with my partner! I get embarrassed when my sweetie and I are both wearing plaid shirts/westerns/flannels at the same time! We look nutty!
Showers, mostly! But sometimes I'll take a 2 minute bath in the morning if I need a shower but don't want to risk getting my hair wet before class. I'll also take baths when I'm visiting my parents because their house is BEYOND FREEZING in the winter and they never turn up the heat! Sometimes...
I got a STUNNING, nearly MINT condition dark brown mink cape by Fur Nakamura. I'm guessing it's 1940's. It's absolutely beautiful, and I got it for only $40! It has the name Mitsue Griffiths embroidered on the inside, which is a lovely touch I think.
These aren't my photos of it, but I found...
Is the shopping cart checkout on Girdlebound not working for anyone else? I've been wanting to order a new girdle from them for awhile now and every time I try to I get an error. Is it just me??
Well to save some money and support artists, I'm buying handmade goods from Etsy.com or buying vintage. I'm also trying to make gifts. Christmas is my favorite time of year, I just love buying presents for friends and family. I'm only going all out with my two best friends, ex-boyfriend and...
I'm checking out the WW site right now and it seems like such a good idea! My ex lost 70 lbs on Nutrisystem the first 2 months he used it, which is CRAZY! His problem is mainly portion control, so I think that's why it had such a huge impact on his weight loss. He gained maybe 20 lbs back and is...
I agree with you about 95%. However, in speaking to my parents (and they have witnessed and funded my education up until this point), I have learned that they agree that kids and young adults work much harder than their generation did for an education, and don't really gain that much in return.
If you ever get the chance, you should check out Hawleywood's. They have on in Long Beach and one in Costa Mesa. My ex drives out all the way to the Long Beach one just to get his hair done ever 6 weeks, but he says it's so worth it. You might want to call ahead of time and ask if they do the...
I use hot curlers, but my ex didn't mind one bit. I feel more embarrassed wearing them around my roommates than I do my ex, just because I know my roommates don't get it! My ex cares just about as much about his hair as mine, and he makes the goofiest pinched face when he combs his pomp, but I...
I usually wear:
- moisturizer w/ SPF
- blush
- face powder
- mascara
- red lipstick
If I'm feeling like changing it up I'll sometimes wear matte brown eyeliner with the little wings (black looks too harsh on me). I occasionally wear it with eyeshadow. But then I usually won't wear the...
I've always been pushed to succeed in academics and arts, so no, I haven't. I enjoy academia, but it can be difficult. I'm not looking forward to the amount of years of schooling I have left to complete just until I can be a legitimate librarian! My ex is currently going to school for Automotive...
