    Makeup Ad from the 40's! Check out the eyebrows!

    :eek: ;) :D I love them but can understand why some people would be put off by them. They are a little extreme but very well groomed. They would be a pain to maintain though. I can't tweeze my eyebrows anymore or I won't have any. I may try and fool around w/ a pencil and see if I can at...

    Required Music Collection

    Those are all excellent choices! I just bought my 1st Billie Holiday CD and can't stop listening to it. I also have some Ray Charles in my collection and am drawn to bluesy, jazzy type of music so am always looking to add to it.

    Powder Room input

    I too am a newbie and I love it in the PR but also enjoy the other parts of the FL as well. There are a lot of wonderful topics in the other categories and you who are shy should just lurk for a bit and see what the other sections have to offer. I can understand why everyone is most...

    Powder Room input

    I think it would be nice to have sub sections in here. As long as there are not too many sub sections because they could make it confusing to try and figure out what category it is you need to start a new post. lol

    Show us your hair do's....

    My hair didn't come out the way I expected. It looks very 80's today which means I have to reset it again tonight. :eek: I also found that some of the rollers fell out while I was sleeping. Does anyone have and suggestions on how to prevent this? Thanks :)

    Makeup Ad from the 40's! Check out the eyebrows!

    Lizzie, I am wondering if many women from the 40's actually had eyebrows like that or if they penciled them in. I have a hard time using makeup on my eyebrows because I go really heavy on them and they look fake. LOL I should probably try a pencil instead of eye shadow. BTW: I was...

    Show us your hair do's....

    OK, I am off to bed with my rollers and bathing cap that is too big for my and stuffed with toilet papers. My youngest told me I looked like a fortune teller. :eek: Anyhow, I am sleeping on the couch tonight so I can't move around as much and just took 3 Tylenol PM's to ensure a good nights...

    Denture Tablets As A Cleaner?

    I can't even imagine paying $60 for one item, that is absolutely outrageous!! Does anyone know what they did before dry cleaning came into existence. I would think they didn't have it during the 20's to 40's and they had wool so I wonder how they cleaned it??

    Show us what you've made!

    You bring up a good point. Most of the time I go shopping for buttons on eBay once I need them and it is very frustrating. Maybe I should just buy a lot of them and use them on an as needed basis. I have a ton of things I could add buttons to. I LOVE buttons so it would be fun. I love the...

    Show us your hair do's....

    OK, I am being brave tonight ladies. I washed my hair and then put my hair in rollers. Sheesh, it was tougher this time around for some reason, but in the end I did a better job. I actually did a side part which is my natural part anyhow and I curled everything under except for the sides near...

    Daisy, I am in a small town right outside of Worcester (15 minutes from downtown Worcester!). I don't know of any vintage shops around here, the only places I go are the thrifts and eBay. I have been bombing at the thrifts though for summer clothes (I guess the dresses go quicker than I can...

    Makeup Ad from the 40's! Check out the eyebrows!

    I thought this ad was so cool and does a good job showing the colors that were common during the 40's for makeup. I LOVE the eyebrows and the bangs!
