    african american hairstyles any era

    Well there's single braids and French braids and rolls. I think a simple braid can look very beautiful with vintage style clothing. Also snoods aren't a hair style at all but they are a "hair thing" and whether or not you wanted to do victory rolls in the front, they really bespeak vintage...

    Cardigans, cardigans, cardigans!

    I wear short sleeve blouses or camisoles of the outwear type under mine (i.e. camisoles that are basically nice-fabric tank tops, not underwear) because many of them would get bunchy sleeves if a longsleeved shirt was under them and I run hot anyway. Even ribbed tanks in cute colors can work if...

    Hitler remains not Hitler.

    I have always known what they meant and I can't really be flippant about it, sorry. Regardless of your stance on the death penalty and its relative justice vs. life in prison, surely you're not equating life in prison with no prosecution whatsoever? I did read your earlier post, btw. Why...

    Slightly Sinister Children of the Golden Era

    Without the text I would not have guessed those red things were not in the gelatin family.

    Hitler remains not Hitler.

    Let me flip this for you; what does it matter if he would have been totally ineffectual? How is that relevant? Is the ONLY concern recidivism? Is there no justice? Imagine cops who's only concern is washing some blood off a parking lot and then saying of the killer, "well he probably won't do...

    Zootshooting

    I was eyeing an S&W Terrier at one point but it was in .38 S&W not .38 Special which seemed like something that would probably end up being a pain.

    Zootshooting

    Hopefully! Combining guns and historic costuming is pretty awesome to me. I'm not sure I don't still love the idea of CAS more than zoot-shooting...just for the revolvers. Not sure what handguns beyond 1911s they're using for zootshooting? Also, I have to think of the outfits! lol

    Coat of Arms or Family Crests

    As long as you don't take the strip-mall crests as canonical history, what's the harm in an interest in geneology, or in designing a coat of arms that harkens back to the historic conventions? I mean I'm the furthest thing from an ethnic Briton, but I like family history, and from a...

    Women Reenactors?

    My family was already in the US by that point but we're out of Russia; I definitely have the build/look for it. :)

    Zootshooting

    I think I tried to email those guys at one point and they must have seen it was a Yank and never wrote me back. And I can't figure out their gun licenses, especially if you don't have citizenship, and you can't have a pump shotgun or a lot of the handgun calibers you see in American SAS...

    Women Reenactors?

    Bumping this to ask if there's a site or guidelines for getting started? Or do I just try to dig up a local group and harrass them about it? What is the baseline of a getting started sort of kit? Oh, oh, and I cannot do an Axis impression. I know someone has to, but I can't.

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    As soon as I posted I was like "you know those shoes LOOK awfully authentic to me" but I figured I'd leave it up for posterity. I'm so danged clever its amazing. I really appreciate the guidelines, makes it a lot less intimidating to shop around. For me, with shoes, its a lot harder for me to...

    Vintage WW2 Mustaches

    Forget the mustaches, you're all far, far too tall! Look at that! Ridiculous! ;) Signed, Historical Height Hobbit

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    I'm an idiot, is the something strappier something that's okay like T-straps or something to be avoided like witch-pointy toes? It's only going to get worse, I'm afraid - I have to go 24 hours without caffiene. :eek: I'm glad that the rounded toe and slightly-chunky heels are the...

    As may you, Skeet; I wish you and all the Lounge a happy, healthy year! :) Aaand now I'm going to send you a very nerdy PM about Wrinkle because my curiousity, it is raised, and its in keeping with the spirit of the holiday unlike some Internet conversations that tend to veer all over the...

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    So if I want a gold shoe, what would be the best styles to evoke '30s-'40s evening heels/formal sandals or with a gown? I mean probably all of them are easier to get in gold nowadays but what are the styles that really say classic? T-strap?

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    Are gold shoes not vintage? My mom insists they're modern. That doesn't seem right to me. I'm looking for a formal, high-heeled gold shoe of some time, preferably not totally strappy-sandal but it can be open toed if necessary.

    Vintage Weddings

    Bumping because my mother and I went shopping today and I GOT MY WEDDING DRESS. I am sooo happy. :D It is really lovely, a little MORE fluffy-princess than I had pictured falling in love with, but I saw it on me, and it was love! It's sleeveless and perfect for a summer wedding. Now I...

    What Are You Reading

    Oh, Wrinkle in Time almost made my list too, Skeet. I'm glad I'm not the only one who'd have Young Adult (what a precious term that is, I sort of hate it) or childrens' books.
