I find the Mitfords utterly fascinating. I highly recommend this as an informative read:

Their private slang and nicknames are very infectious!
Thanks all. We had an amazing time - it was my boyfriend's 40th birthday treat and a treat it certainly was! We are already saving to go back again as soon as we can :)
I just started an Etsy shop a few weeks ago to raise money for my trip to Paris and to start culling the many items I never wear or that no longer fit/suit me. Mostly 50s/60s clothes and accessories in smaller sizes.

I've just been on their website and they look lovely. They don't go down to my back-size unfortunately, which is weird as their model looks like about a 30 back. There isn't a difference in German sizing from UK is there?!!
I've already posted these in the 'What are you wearing' thread but this actually seems more appropriate - apologies for the double-posting nonetheless. They were taken by Gordon Ayres who specialises in vintage-style photography using vintage cameras. He's never been near a digital camera in his...
Nina is an absolute doll. She and I have become friends since she started cutting my hair and we started a vintage lifestyle magazine together last year called Era http://www.facebook.com/pages/Era-Magazine-Fan-Page/275290501754 :offtopic: But she is an absolute whizz at hairdressing and always...
Nice to see another British Hannah! I lived in Sheffield for 4 years when I was at Art College in the early-to-mid 90's.
I was a really skinny teenager - at 15 my measurements were 30-21-31 - so growing a few curves as an adult has been a joyous experience for me! As a teenager I imagined I...
Annie - I jumped from 32A in my late teens to 32C in my late twenties, so you may well expand over the next few years! And if you don't you'll be grateful not to have to worry about sagging! My measurements are very similar to yours: 34-26-37 and I wear vintage bras padded with What Katie Did...
A couple of weeks ago at the Criterion Theatre in London for the Vintage Gala night of the 39 Steps. Shame about my wonky collar and creased skirt but I'd just got off the tube and come straight from work! Photo by the fantastic Gordon Ayres www.gordonayresphotographer.com
Contraceptives have such widely differing effects on different people. I was nervous going on the depo as I knew that if it didn't suit me I'd have to wait at least three months for the effects to wear off. I am peri-menopausal and was having chronic headaches from the oestrogen withdrawl on my...
I'm on the depo-provera injection and I've definitely gained weight, although at 37 I guess my metabolism is also slowing down and my sedentary job is no doubt catching up with me! If it gives me the kick up the arse I need to be more active then it may prove to be no bad thing!
Tishkamix - have you tried Illamasqua? Really great for super-pale skins and excellent customer service too - no quibbling over returns.
