    Oil Cleansing Method

    I only had EVOO, but I tried it out tonight and it was really nice! Very relaxing, and my pores already look cleaner (I felt the grittiness!) and smaller, even without the Castor oil. I'll be picking some up tomorrow though. I'm excited! Blackheads have PLAGUED me since I was a kid. I get...

    Haha, yeah, they are umbrellas! Hamburgers would be cooler though!

    I just won this dress on Ebay: The pictures are pretty bad, but I think the dress will probably be nice!

    What's the Funniest Things to happen to you in vintage?

    This is maybe only funny to me, but it was super cool! My ex and I were at the mall the other night, dressed really casually. I just had my hair and lipstick done, but was wearing modern clothes, and he was a bit more vintage than me with his hair in a pomp. All of a sudden we see 5 young...

    Pick me up...

    I like to pop some popcorn and watch a movie when I'm feeling blah. It's good and distracting! When I'm stressed I like to bake. If it's during the middle of finals that I want to bake I just use cake or cookie mix instead of baking from scratch. I have a few cookies or cupcakes, but bring...

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    Rubber cement still exists! I would use it all the time in high school when I would make zines. My parents would occasionally get concerned that I was "huffing" it because I would spend many hours in my room with a can of rubber cement! I was just collaging! :)

    Card Parties

    I second (or third) Gin Rummy! When my girlfriends and I get together we often spend the night gossiping, playing cards and drinking. Our boyfriends act like we are old ladies (their moms do the same thing, only with Loteria!), but it's fun! We also like to play Uno, but you need to buy their...

    Will Work For Food - Bartering!

    I'll second that one KittyT! I've always loved the idea of bartering. When I was involved in the zinester community I would do a lot of trading of my own zines for other zines. The fact that trading was encouraged was a good motivator to write and produce something tangible so that I could...

    Ruining vintage stuff :(

    I haven't really ruined anything to my knowledge, but I think that's because I don't really wash much of my vintage! Oops, now you know my dirty secret! I either take it to the cleaners if it looks dingy (a sin, I know, but my mother swears by one cleaner in particular), or do nothing at all if...

    Request for the hairdressers here...

    Naw, I feel that way too! I never get too upset when I get a wacky haircut because I know I can either hide it with curls or it'll grow back in a month or two anyway!

    Tomorrow's Vintage

    I'm definitely going to preserve my reproduction vintage clothing and shoes. That might be all we have left of the styles we like in the near future! In the non-vintage realm, I am definitely going to preserve my own photography and negatives as well as my cameras. Photography is one of my...

    You know that summer really IS over when...

    I actually wore a cardigan all day today and only got mildly sweaty! What's happening, LA?

    would you live back in time?

    I thought that's what I was doing right now. Anyway, I'm just going to say it simply: I was not intending to claim that everyone was racist/homophobic/sexist, whatever. I was just stating that we have come a long way since the early half of the 20th century, and I don't think I would like to...

    would you live back in time?

    Of course I am not judging them. That's not what I am talking about at all. I find it absurd for today's modern individuals to not be willing to learn from history, re-examine it and look at history with fresh eyes as we are able to in the 21st century. K.D., that was a really interesting post...

    would you live back in time?

    I'm sorry, but you're really, really misinformed. I suggest you read The Power of the Zoot: Youth Culture and Resistance During World War II by Luis Alvarez. He presents a very fair, even account of the political and racial complexities that led up to the Zoot Suit Riot. Not all zoot suiters...

    would you live back in time?

    I looked it up in the dictionary, but it wasn't very helpful! In my own personal definition, Latinos who have Spanish blood might in effect be considered part Caucasian or full, depending on how they identify. Same would go for those of European-descent living in Latin America, I guess. But I...

    would you live back in time?

    Definitely true! I think that is one of the best side effects of WWII. However, after the war when the men returned home, there was a sharp decrease of these female-bonding activities. Women returned to the private/home sphere and the emphasis on nuclear family was in full force. So although...
