What is your Curl Set Routine for Fine/Thin Hair
Your hair seems to be even finer than mine. You could try to do the set right after washing / rubbing a bit with a towel. I was afraid of "combing out" the wave, too. But I only had that problem when I used setting lotion. When I do it with water only, the curls stay even after extensive... -

That second dress is awesome, Black Dahlia. I never imagined light gray and red would go so well together. Although I'm no stripes girl, I adore that dress.- wahine

The pixies come at night...
Thank you, ZombieGirl! The price is much lower than I expected. For the weak, low quality kind, I pay around 1,80 Euro (~2,50 $) for 30 pins! For 300 I'd pay 25 dollars, can you believe it?! Good to know that the good ones you recommend are much cheaper. Well, I guess the prices are simply...- wahine

Oh, the Stigma of an Astigmatism. . .
KittyAnneMalloo, that model suits you so well, good choice! LinaSofia, your Ray Bans really are quite cool. You look very sophisticated in them. When I was still short sighted (I had a laser operation), I wore a vintage butterfly model myself, but I didn't look half as good with them as...- wahine

What is your Curl Set Routine for Fine/Thin Hair
Welcome to the forum, Romamor4! :) I have fine thin hair and I'm pretty new to the whole thing myself, so maybe my experiences might be a bit helpful. I started with wet sets with different sorts of setting lotion (one at a time ;) ). Having difficulties with the curl rolling itself, it... -

Bandanas: Okay, or dorky?
Thanks for reviving this thread! After reading it, I put on my bandana, and went to the grocery store Rosie style. Ignoring gazes of other customers and the cashier, I felt wonderful and planned on wearing it more often. :D -
Fur Question!
How very well put, Miss Golightly. I always wondered why do I have a problem with real fur (be it vintage or not) since I'm no vegetarian either. I guess you just gave the answer. On the other hand, I'd eat pretty much anything if it's offered to me in the according environment (like in a...- wahine

Thanks for the recommendation, I will try to keep it in mind. :) Hopefully, those Sally Beauty pins aren't 10 times the price of regular ones?- wahine

Fur Question!
I'm no fur expert, but I'd say Puzzikato is probably right. It looks quite real (considering from the foto - don't you have one with a closer look?). Even nowadays they can't imitate fur very well, much less in the 50s. Do I get it right: it's about an online / mail order purchase, and you...- wahine

The pixies come at night...
It's the same over here. Not only do they become less strong, but they are also shorter than they used to be. "Hey, they might be weaker, but at least we keep our prices steady (not telling you that the pins are 20% smaller which means they've really become more expensive)" Disguised price...- wahine

I know the British version is sold at a very reasonable price. The only bad thing about it is that I'd like to watch the movies with my boyfriend whose English is not that good and he never saw the movies before. Since there are some puns and wordplay, you need to understand English well to get...- wahine

Elderly Reactions To Vintage
So is your grandma a "keeper" then? Mine is a "discarder". She's 93, so just imagine what she could have given me if she wouldn't always have kept up with the times *sigh* She's wonderful though and I'm happy that she gave me the few 60s and 70s wardrobe she had kept.- wahine

Elderly Reactions To Vintage
Wow, you're so wise, Amy Jeanne. You'll make some of your kids or grandchildren really happy with that stuff one day. I wish I had the space to store stuff, too. But my place is so small that I have to get rid of something when I get something new. Which gives me hope to go all vintage one day ;)- wahine

I love the Thin Man, too! Nick and Nora are simply so smart, and stylish, and witty, and... I could kick my own a** cause I didn't get the collection box soon enough. It was around 30 Euro, and now it's 200! Well, I guess I'll just have to get the British version. Still, this is annoying :(- wahine

That magnet idea sounds very clever! It won't help in my case though, cause it's the pixies robbing the pins, remember? (Another reason: I sleep on a sofa-bed combination which I regularly transfer from bed to sofa; and there are no pins on the "appearing" floor :p Sounds awkward, but sorry, I...- wahine

The energy saving bulbs keep on becoming better / lighter. But they're still stupid since they are poisonous. Lolly, I know exactly what you mean. Every time I notice a change in a package, I think "Oh-oh, don't say, they >improved< the formula!" RodeoRose, don't you think, socks don't...- wahine

Girl Crushes!
Miss Golightly, that was one of the most beautiful pics of Grace Kelly I saw so far (I must admit though that I'm no Kelly expert), she looks so fresh and pure, adorable. Dame Julie Andrews This pic is from the - in my opinion totally underrated - musical movie "Modern Millie". I think... -
The pixies come at night...
Some other everyday mystery comes to my mind: There seems to be a big enterprise conspiracy going on against me. Many companies keep on discontinuing my favorite products! In the last, let's say 5 years, about 75% of my favorite food products and many other products just stopped being produced...- wahine
