That is definitely Cynthia/TopRunway on Etsy. Am I imagining it or is she a bit more expensive on Etsy?
The Bettie Page repro line is pretty good, although I wasn't a fan of her capris. She does a few tops and blouses that are nice looking though and the dresses are, of course, fabulous -...
Kitty I would absolutely LOVE to see those colour plates. I might also ask to steal them for my magazine article too, if that isn't too cheeky (and your mother would get a credit, obviously).
I've had the 80's thing before. I was walking through Kingston town centre in a a pencil skirt, vintage blouse and court shoes with set hair, red lippy etc and these little 12 year olds wearing (I kid you not) leggings and neon legwarmers shouted "It's not the 80s anymore love" at me! My best...
I agree that going without nail varnish really helps - I always thought it was the remover that was bad for my nails rather than the polish itself but maybe not. My nails look dreadful without varnish though, I won't ever leave them naked. I tried giving them a month off once to recover and...
Good detecting Fleur! I've got my eye on a couple at the mo... but can't actually afford to buy any of them lol
Got the book yesterday though and it is scrummy!
Sadly I think you may be right. Builders and young blokes being the worst I think. It's obviously cultural. Is the rest of europe the same I wonder? Can any of the ladies from continental europe give us some insight?
No offense taken - I was just concerned that some of the more impressionable ladies might have started to feel that it was something in them that was attracting comments.
I can't help feeling that the anger it provokes must be some kind of very base herd mentality - it's extremely difficult...
I live in Twickenham - an extremely well-to-do area of south west London and I certainly walk very confidently with my head held high and I very much doubt that anybody would consider that I appear vulnerable as a 5'9" 37 year old! But I still get unpleasant comments from time to time, even...
I'm not going to moan about it because we are SO lucky, but if you have a problem which is non-life threatening and relatively trivial it really won't do anything for you. Anything cosmetic has to be paid for, which is fair enough on the whole.
Thanks for all the suggestions - I'll try a few of those products. Unfortunately, seeing a dermatologist in the UK would cost a few hundred pounds which, unless I become a hand model, is unjustifiable just for dodgy nails!

Cherry lips you are so cute! These photos are from the late 80s and I'm afraid I wasn't solidly wearing vintage for the intervening 20 odd years - I have lapsed a few times lol
I was a 60s nut in my mid-teens:
This was my best friend and me (on the right) in my bedroom, which was painted black lol
In my favourite yellow pvc hat and pink mini-mac:
I don't have any photos online but I used to paint my lower eyelashes on, a la Twiggy, who was my...
