What should I pack for the Queen Mary Event?
Okay, so I think I've figured out my outfits. I got my eyebrows waxed today (boy they needed it) and am planning to get my nails done on Thursday. I'm feeling a little more relaxed now that I've gotten everything planned out! I still don't have a bag to match one of my dresses, but that's my...- pigeon toe

In USA - Antibiotic-resistant Staph Outbreak -
We have to be careful about that though because some hand santizers contain a chemical (sorry, I'm blanking on the name, but I heard about it in the Scientific American weekly podcast) that acts as an antibiotic, which can actually increase the amount of antibiotic-resistant bugs floating around...- pigeon toe

Pear shape body...
I love my pear-shaped figure (I'm about a 33-26-35.5), but sometimes it's hard to feel confident having such wide hips and fuller thighs when I'm so petite! Most of the other girls I know who are around my height (5'2") and even taller are much, much thinner than I am, or have more lean and less...- pigeon toe

Christmas presents: Take the handmade pledge!
I have already bought a lot of gifts using coupons and Ebay, but I think the cookie mix in a jar idea is great. I'm definitely going to do it for my mom, since she always says I make the best chocolate chip cookies, and since I've gone to college I'm not around to make them anymore! For...- pigeon toe

Happy Birthday Marines
Happy birthday & Semper Fi! My good friend (my boyfriend's BEST friend) just deployed for Iraq last week. He went to Kuwait last year and is a Sgt. in the Marines. I miss him already.- pigeon toe

Why certain cities.
That's really interesting. I guess since I've been living in California for all of my adolescent and adult life, I've really taken the place for granted. Fun fact, Lee Press-on painted our house when I was 10. :)- pigeon toe

Los Angeles and Orange County areas: Free Portrait of YOU in Vintage!
I cannot believe you have a Hasselblad! I am so jealous! I would kill for one of those. Do NOT give that puppy up, it's worth hundreds (thousands even), as I'm sure you know. I do a lot of medium format photography myself (I have a Mamiya 300C TLR) and am an art student. I would love to have...- pigeon toe

Vintage eyebrow shapes
My eyebrows are naturally very thick, dark and the individual hairs are long (thanks Dad!). So I have to do a lot of plucking (and trimming, and waxing of the unibrow) to keep them neat looking. I don't pluck them very thin though, I just neaten them up and try to put a little arch in, which is...- pigeon toe

Dita Von Teese/Frederick's of Hollywood
My boyfriend bought me the Parisian corset/bustier thing (the second photo of Dita) and it's very cute! I might need to exchange it for a size smaller though, so next time we go I'm going to see if they have the first one in stock (they didn't when he went) and maybe get myself that. It's just...- pigeon toe

Dita Von Teese/Frederick's of Hollywood
I don't have the catalogue, but that seems strange! Perhaps it's just the angle? Anyway, I LOVE the lace bustier. I can't believe it's only $50! It's very Agent Provocateur, and very inexpensive comparatively!- pigeon toe

Pale or Tan?
On myself I definitely prefer pale, as that is what I naturally am. Also, with dark hair and hazel/green eyes, it's a more dramatic look. I still have to use blush so I don't look like I'm dead! On everyone else I just prefer what their natural skin tone is. There's one girl I know who has...- pigeon toe

What should I pack for the Queen Mary Event?
For the formal night I unfortunately won't be wearing any vintage (except for maybe my shoes)! I do have a great black satin Stop Staring dress though that is perfect for it. I still need to figure out my other outfits. I'm starting to get nervous! Lord knows my hair will be rebellious that...- pigeon toe

Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage
If you're nervous about dressing vintage, then start slow. Incorporate vintage accessories or modern reproductions into your wardrobe. Trust me, people will only have nice things to say! It takes a lot of cajones to dress differently from the norm and if you do it and are confident about it...- pigeon toe

The resurgence of Vinyl & the end of CDs?
I wouldn't be surprised if that did happen. Maybe I'm a jerk, but I no longer buy CDs. I download a lot of my music, and if I really love it, I buy it on vinyl. It's cheaper, sounds better and has a certain preciousness to it.- pigeon toe

If you are interested in living in Japan
I would love to go to Japan someday. My boyfriend and I always talk about how it's going to be our honeymoon spot if we ever get married. My father has been there on business a few times and loves it, and my old roommate and her boyfriend went there this summer. I'm very jealous! I'm...- pigeon toe

Does wearing vintage Get you noticed by the opposite sex?
I get hit on and told I'm attractive WAY more since I've started dressing vintage and rockabilly/psychobilly (when I'm feeling more casual). I think part of it is the confidence and part of it is that it's a style that truly enhances my features best. I also find that when men hit on me, as...- pigeon toe

Attn: LA-area loungers (Do you mind if I ask?)
Right now I live in Westwood, which I don't recommend unless you're going to UCLA! It's extremely expensive for what you get (I share an apartment with 3 other girls for $2600, not including parking expense and utilities), the neighborhood is noisy (we're across the street from a frat) and the...- pigeon toe
