    Who are you talking about? :confused: (when I feel old, I tell myself: women are like wine, they get better with age! :D)

    Okay, I might just give this a try. But I'm afraid I'd want to leave it in and walk the street with the roller. It just looks too nice :D

    Everyday Women of the Golden Era

    Thanks to the unhappy fact that my maternal grandma moved to a retirement home lately, we had to divide most of her things between the family. Since my grandpa always liked to take photos, I got a few for myself: 3 photo books plus about a dozen of separate pics. I'll post most of them in the...

    Sounds logical, thanks. Can't imagine to sleep on those, though.

    Funny, odd, or the most absurd ads you have ever seen....

    This thread is really hilarious! I got some, too: from the 1920s: The solution for boys with crooked noses: earn money with selling bird houses, then order Anita's nose adjuster with the money earned. Perfect! from 1958/56: now look how chubby these girls are! :eusa_doh: This...

    I have no idea what a permrod is but the result looks great! And so natural on you.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    As someone once said, Oh I miss those times when alcoholism was a normal part of entertainment. (I think it might have been Jerry Stiller in KOQ when watching a Rat Pack show.) Last night, I watched Imitation of Life, the remake of 1959. I haven't seen the original yet, but they say the...

    That is so cute! how big is it? I don't know about the grains; I can only think of fall, swallows going to the south, harvest... maybe something like that?

    Haa, that's great! You're right - asymmetry is really your thing. And this one even goes wonderful with your glasses (when I had glasses, I had even more problems with finding a hat). That birthday card (if it is one) on the wall is kinda spooky though.

    Good point! I was only thinking about unraveling it because I'm a real penny-pincher :D But I'll listen to you ladies and start the matching cuffs soon. No vintage pattern for that, so I'll have to improvise. Kat, I'd like to see a pic of you with an asymmetric hat! :) ps. I like your blog!

    Thanks for complimenting my hair, you're a flatterer. And you sure know how to wear a big flower! Got some of those myself but I don't know where to put them without looking awkward. I'm a bit reluctant of experimenting with my shampoo since it took me a long time to find what works for me...

    Does any of you know if the tap water quality can affect your hair in a mentionable way? I moved to a new town, and my hair is not the same. It doesn't hold a curl as it used to. They say the tap water here has a lot of lime / calcium carbonate in it. But since I had a new hair cut shortly after...

    Sewing Lessons & FAQ

    I agree with crwitt, I wouldn't be too optimistic about dying poly. When I was young, I used to paint small pieces with a permanent marker. That took virtually forever and considering the cost of the marker, there wasn't much money saved. But, I was young... ;) btw, after washing it, the stuff...

    :D Thanks a lot, clabbergirl and sheeplady! :o clabbergirl, how do you pin such a thing? I have pretty straight hair and my new haircut doesn't hold a curl properly. No idea why. The only way I can think of so far is putting two pin curls crosswise. But it'll be kinda hard to stick it that...

    Now I wonder: does it look that bad that nobody dares to comment :eeek: or is it just that nobody noticed my question?

    Hollywood Collection Vintage Jewelry Reproductions

    Wow, thanks a lot for all that information, C-Dot! That sounds nice and verry tempting. Since my man won't come up with smth like this anyway, I'll have to get it for myself. So I'll have to feed my piggy bank for a while... :D

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    Thanks for posting this. As often as I have seen this scene, I still have to laugh. Only, this time my laugh turns into a cry for the first time. We'll miss him! There'll never be one like him.
