    Pomade in men's hair, ladies?

    My boy knows better than to try and run his fingers through my perfectly coiffed hair and I show equal respect for his pomaded quiff :) If either one of us has freshly-washed unstyled hair then the other gets to have a stroke but the rest of the time it's hands off - it's the price you pay for...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    The funniest one is when you get some 'normal' girl come and ask you how you do your hair, so you start to tell her and you see her eyes glaze over as she realises she can't be bothered with all that. I wonder what they think the answer is going to be? "Oh I use a special spray that gives me...

    Any ladies still sporting a pixie cut?

    Maybe go for a shorter but curly do. The width of the curls should create the illusion of a narrower face. I don't know what decade you're into but this kind of cut can be styled to fit 40s, 50s and 60s. It does mean setting your hair every night though as it looks really mumsy...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    It drives me mental when people do that. I usually turn my back or walk off when that happens - it's so rude! I'm not a sodding tourist attraction! If people ask nicely and I'm not in too much of a rush then I'm fine with it mostly.

    Dating for Fedora Loungers?

    I think people often have expectations that just because they love someone they'll be able to spend every minute of the day with them without it driving them insane! I quite often see relationships and marriages around me disintegrate that I think might have survived if they'd just lived apart...

    Finding the Palest Foundation

    Laura Mercier does really excellent pale shades of foundation - I love her Moisturising Foundation in Porcelain Ivory. Unfortunately her stuff is very expensive in the UK - around £40 for foundation - so out of reach for most of us, but I think the brand is cheaper in the US.

    Vintage Magazine Fiction Illustrations

    Thank for those LD - they are fabulous aren't they? There are 2 books on amazon about this subject: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lifestyle-Illustration-50s-Rian-Hughes/dp/1906863326/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1279530276&sr=8-2...

    What are you wearing today??

    Well thank you, but there's really no need to be intimidated - in real life I'm a big softy and a bit batty :)

    Dating for Fedora Loungers?

    It's fine as long as you both feel the same way. I've lived alone for 13 years (apart from a disastrous 2 years when I was forced to share with a friend for financial reasons) and my boyfriend has lived alone for 5 so we're both very independent. We've been together for 3 years but living in...

    Show us your hair do's....

    This last one is perfection!

    What are you wearing today??

    Oooh thanks! It's because it's got a little longer I think - the curls just drop into nicer bigger curls, which I definitely prefer!

    What are you wearing today??

    Went casual and repro yesterday for work. Excuse the terrible photography. I think the capris are 80s - they were white with little ribbon rosebuds sewn on when I got them and I dyed them navy (although they have faded to something more like a royal blue). The top is just a basic cotton stripey...

    My preference is to have a partner but live alone. Best of both worlds.

    Hiding bobby pins

    Nobody makes pins for red hair do they? When my hair was red and long I used to use the matt brown ones - that was the best match I could find. Another trick I used to use was to shove a comb in where all the pins were, when I pinned the sides up anyway - that wouldn't work for rolls!

    Hiding bobby pins

    I think that What Katie Did do workshops occasionally. And you could always book an appointment at Nina's Hair Parlour for a set or style rather than a cut and get some tips then - I know Nina and Leila are always happy to share secrets and techniques.

    WHAT CAN THE FEDORA LOUNGE DO FOR YOU?

    I met an incredible group of women through the lounge without whom my life would now seem utterly incomplete. It gave me the joy of going out in a group of women all dressed in vintage and the sensation of actually not being the odd one out! I also learned that people who are passionate about...

    Dating for Fedora Loungers?

    I sort of met my boy on myspace. He is from my hometown though and we had seen each other around since the late 80s when we were both part of the very small C86/indie scene in the town. We had friends in common and I knew his ex-girlfriend but we had somehow never met. He sent a friendly "Gosh...

    Dating for Fedora Loungers?

    Oh so THAT'S what they mean when their ads talk about matching you on "values". They don't mean whether or not you believe in recycling or socialist principles - they just want to know which denomination you are! lol lol
