    Does your given name fit you?

    My name is Meredith, and I don't like it! It is Welsh, meaning "great lord". Basically, it sounds pretty dowdy to me. It seems to be split half and half between my friends on whether they like it or not. Half thinks it's pretty, the other half thinks it doesn't suit me. A lot of my friends...

    Vintage eyebrow shapes

    Thanks for the tips everyone! My brows are naturally a dark brown, so I think for now I will keep them the way they are. I'm thinking about lightening my hair just a bit as well (I keep flip flopping on whether I want to stay with the black or go for a really dark brown), so I don't want to...

    What made you fall in love with retro beauty?

    What initially got me into it was finding Bettie Page in 8th grade. At the time I was very much into riot grrrl (feminist punk) and she was definitely an icon in that genre. I loved her type of sexuality -- it was obviously overt, but at the same time cheeky and playful. That sort of sexiness...

    Oh Dear Me...

    Seth, I had a fabulous time talking to you at the QM. I have struggled with pretty severe social anxiety my whole life, pretty much up until college. The only thing that really helped me was becoming a part of my boyfriend's group of friends, who are all really loud and gregarious. Their...

    Soap & Glory

    Hahah, I know how you feel. When I first saw them in Target I was with my boyfriend and kept nudging him and hinting at how I wanted one. Somehow I doubt he got the hint...

    Ooh, one of these sets will make a perfect gift for one of my roomies. Seriously cute stuff!

    Who Are Your Celebrity Look-Alikes?

    I got all Asian celebrities (I'm not Asian) and Portia DeRossi! I don't look like any of them! lol One time I got Steven Soderbergh and I looked more like him than any of these celebrities I got right now!

    OT - Rapid Heart Rate Anyone?

    I had bouts of a rapid heartbeat for awhile (it would only be a couple of times a day, for less than a minute), and sometimes it felt like my heart was jumping out of my chest and I had to catch my breath! I had to do the coughing thing too and it helped. What caused it for me was anemia...

    VintageGoth?

    I love me some psychobillies (and bulldogs). You had awesome hair dude. Can we be best friends?

    VintageGoth?

    Haha, well, she was in the fashion industry so she knew lots of wild people. Everyone used to call her Sister Sweeney though because she was the Catholic good girl of the group (though I'm sure that's just a front!). Music though? Laura Nyro and Neil Young are about it for her. The Nomi Song...

    Vintage Ads - Safeguard Your Daintiness!

    What!? I'm still trying to figure out what you mean by you-know-whats, but whatever you mean that sounds HORRIBLE! All this sort of stuff makes me sad. The way advertisers would basically shame women into buying their products is terrible. You can still see some of that today, but at least no...

    VintageGoth?

    Hahaha, my mom was in the Nomi Song for a milisecond too! She's walking out of Macy's or something, where she used to work. Perhaps you two know each other! ;)

    Ladies, what scents do you like on your men?

    I love Bay Rum, but not on any guy I'm interested in. It's strictly a "Dad" smell to me, since my dad nearly bathes in it anytime he and my mom go out to dinner.

    VintageGoth?

    My mom has that book! I'll have to look through it. I think she is in it as well. If not her I'm sure people she knew are! She was friends with a bunch of drag queens in the 80's. :)

    Ladies, what scents do you like on your men?

    I absolutely LOVE Dolce & Gabana for Men. It smells amazing on my boyfriend and is a bit more unusual than say something like Acqua di Gio.

    VintageGoth?

    I came to vintage mainly through psychobilly. Not quite goth, but it's definitely been influenced by campy horror themes! Psychobilly style (for girls anyway) is like a bad girl, punk pin-up look. I never really did that (I'm not enough of an exhibitionist), I just went the tamer vintage route...

    Vintage eyebrow shapes

    This might be a little off topic, but I'd like everyone's opinions on this. I dye my hair black (it's naturally a light brown), but my eyebrows are quite dark naturally. They are a dark brown, not quite black though. Every time I go to get them waxed or see a hairdresser, they ask me if I want...

    What should I pack for the Queen Mary Event?

    Don't worry, I'll be wearing a black satin Stop Staring dress. Not even real vintage! I don't really have the money to buy vintage gowns, so repro is the way to go for me.

    Show us what you've made!

    Those are very cool! I love how dramatic they are with the high waist. I'm amazed they are the first thing you made yourself, I couldn't even finish making an A-line skirt once my grandma wasn't around to help me!

    How to *gracefully* GET RID OF THE (man's...not female! :D) BEARD!

    Somehow I managed to get my boyfriend to let me chop off his green mohawk (which trust me, was much more offensive than a beard would have been), but that was 2 1/2 years ago when he loved me a bit more. lol
