    What has happened to society?

    I wholly agree, and it makes me sad that some people don't see it that way. On the subject of shops being closed on Sunday, that's the way it is here in Utrecht, and it's deathly boring! lol Sunday is my day of napping because of it. On another note, I feel a lot of what I disagree with in...

    What has happened to society?

    I didn't know being patronizing was considered good manners. Let's just agree to disagree.

    What has happened to society?

    Well then, unfortunately, you'd be focusing your disgust on me. I'm not a "hippie", but I am a feminist. Choice, to me, is the key idea in feminism. Women, up until the feminist movement, really had very little choice in their lives. Some lucky ones who had a strong support system and a lot of...

    What has happened to society?

    I think in terms of women, they do somewhat go hand in hand. Like I said earlier (I edited my post), a certain type of fashion in the 40's and, maybe even more so in the 50's, was imposed upon women that was restrictive. When women started gaining more status in society, in the 60's and 70's...

    Crazy Hat contest

    Congrats VB! Too bad I didn't see this contest until now. Here's what my entry WOULD have been, I think it's a pretty crazy hat & I don't know if I've ever posted it:

    What has happened to society?

    We have to remember that things have changed in GOOD ways since then as well. True, less people care about personal style and how they present themselves to the world. But at the same time, women and people of all races have a lot more freedom and equality than they did 50 years ago. And that I...

    The Great Beer Thread

    Oh trust me, I have a belly! I'd just rather have it be from chocolate and food than beer! The Netherlands is great. The bad weather I could do without, but I'm having a wonderful time. I'm trying to travel as much as possible, but it's hard trying to do weekend trips throughout Europe. So...

    LADIES of the LOUNGE

    Of course! I was just under the false impression that it would be warmer than the Netherlands. The weather report lied to me that weekend!

    The Great Beer Thread

    I'm always drinking Grolsch since it's what they serve at the campus bar here in Utrecht. I also like Leffe and Kriek (Belgian cherry beer) as well. I'm trying to move away from beer towards wine...I was getting a little beer belly and that's never cute! :)

    Not very vintage, but I haven't posted in this thread in a long, long time. Here is me freezing my butt off in London 2 weeks ago:

    Girdles, Corsets, and Underpinnings

    My girdle smushes my thighs together sometimes too, so what I do is pull it up really high, like right under my bust (I'm very short-waisted though, so yours might not be able to go up that high). That way it doesn't go as far down on my thighs, therefore they are less smushed together!

    Aveda Colour Solutions

    I used to use the conditioner for dyed black hair and it was amazing! It helped make my color last a lot longer and took out the reddish tones black hair usually gets as it fades.

    Joan Crawford event at UCLA - 2/25

    There are lots of great classic film events at UCLA...and of course I never take advantage of them! At least I have another year and a half there when I get back, I'm definitely going to start attending these things. They have so many amazing films in the archives at UCLA. They even have a...

    Comfort instead of bidding?

    It's really easy for me to not spend when I don't have a job...I just don't look at Ebay or go to any vintage stores or expos. It also helps right now that I'm living abroad, therefore shipping prices are too much and the Euro is really sucking out my will to live right now (damn exchange...

    Anything in the coming months that you are excited for?

    Fun! I've seen the HP twice now, I think. The first time I drank the worst combination of alcohol (lesson learned!) and had to leave early, but I saw them opening for Danzig a few weeks later. Lots of fun, I danced up a storm!

    Anything in the coming months that you are excited for?

    I'm excited for my spring break in Barcelona, going to Marrakech with my mother and seeing my boyfriend when I come home this summer, after a long 6 months abroad. I miss him tons!

    Girdles, Corsets, and Underpinnings

    Actually, I find that my girdles take me WAY in at the hips and don't do much for my waist. I have a lot more fat on my hips and lower tummy (and not much at all on my waist), which I guess is quite easy to smush and flatten. My girdles usually bring my hips down about 3", and my waist only...

    Precious...

    KittyT, all of my friends think I am INSANE for wearing a slip! They literally went "aww, that's so cute" and attributed it to my supposed old-fashionedness when I said I couldn't wear a certain dress because I forgot my slip at home. I seriously thought EVERYONE wore slips! I know I wore...
