Vintage ladies on the farm
My Grandma grew up on as next to youngest of 10! She set her hair in pin curls every night and used to set mine when I was a little girl with strips of brown paper from grocery sacks. But? She always wore her lipstick and had her hair done. I need to get some photos so I can post them!- lframe

'Hair flashes' from 1955 - just shows you nothing is new!
Remember, Auntie Mame (Rosalind Russell version) was having a hard time in one scene picking out the right hair to wear :) -
Which style of makeup should i go for.
Just want to add how jealous I am! What a fantastic opportunity. I'm getting ready to overhaul some of my look. I wore a gorgeous red lippie with heavy black liner and people loved it. However, feel hair is too short right now. Need to try and pin curl. -
anyone wear grey hair?
My hair is a mousy nasty gray with silver streaks that are gorgeous. I keep it close to my natural blonde (which was more white than blonde and too damaging). I so hope my hair will go completely silver. My Grandma had gorgeous salt and pepper hair that went to the most lovely shade of white. -

Pine tar soaps I haven't posted in a long time, but if you're in the US and looking for pine tar soaps, check out Grandpa's Pine Tar soaps. http://www.grandpabrands.com/catalog1280.html I'm also looking for a source for coal tar for y'all. I'm going to Amish country and will see what I can... -
Eyebrow Grooming
I pay to have mine tweezed. They are so blonde they are invisible, so I will confess that I tend to forget about them. Until I realize I have too much to tint when I am doing my makeup! I had to quit doing them myself as I have a heavy hand and overtweeze. As long as I don't look like... -
What's your favourite Red Hair colour?
I am in the middle of transforming my blonde hair to red. It hasn't been red in 5 years and I feel part of me is missing! So, while I am not really happy with the color it is right now, we added depth to it so that it would have time to rest and settle before the big red. I will be using... -
To wax or not to wax ????
I have PCOS and it causes me to have issues with excess hair, so I feel your pain. I definitely keep track of any excess hair and remove it promptly. -

The Decline and Dissolution of "Society" & my Grandmother
My Grandmother is the voice in my head. Whether it is how to act, what to say, or how to do things. She has lived a good long life and is so well-respected. I learned from her and am working to pass those same values along to my son.- lframe

Home Delivery of Ice, Milk, Laundry, etc.
LOL. I married a boy from the Beltway area. He moved to Charlotte and I moved from my tiny town of Union Mills to be with him. I do like it though. We are in a quiet area and I do have access to some decent vintage shops :)- lframe

Home Delivery of Ice, Milk, Laundry, etc.
That it is. I grew up in Rutherford Co., not that far from Nebo! It is a small world, because he probably did. I am lucky I still have him around to tell me about things like that. Like to pick him up, take him on long drives and he tells me all about different areas.- lframe

Home Delivery of Ice, Milk, Laundry, etc.
I am in the Charlotte area and we get vegetables delivered now, but are also starting to receive dairy delivery! I decided to wait until it cools off due to the extreme heat and to test their containers. But, I love it. I can walk outside, get my insulated cooler, and bring in milk, yogurt, etc...- lframe

To wax or not to wax ????
I wax my legs, but only in the summer time and to my knees. My skin is very sensitive and just can't do anymore. However, I do shave the rest of the time. Armpits and legs. Brows? Waxing breaks me out, so I get plucked. I am pondering dermaplaning with a light chemical peel for some old sun... -
What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?
@ Jasmine Jolene, That is a gorgeous color. Our skin coloring is similar, except I am blonde and blue eyed. Heading to the MAC counter to check it this week! -
Any ladies still sporting a pixie cut?
Mine is not much longer than Miss Hannah's and I find that I can still do a good bit with it. Need to photograph when it's fixed, but I am in the middle of a color transformation and so everyone will have to wait another 5 weeks. Pin curls are fun with my hair at this length. -
Be Honest...
Again, like Lizzie and Sofia said, I perfer to keep my eyes as neutral as possible. Nice brows (mine are so blonde they are white) that I tint, mascara, a little liner and a neutral, usually eggshell, shadow for me. -
Secret Weapons
Ok. I am borrowing your secret weapon. When I was younger, all I wore was stockings. Now? Not so much. Wonder how the hubby would like that? :)
