    Vintage eyebrow shapes

    Thanks! I'll post a photo of the quilt when I'm done. My parents 40th anniversary is Feb 1 and I am making it for them. Yes, her brows were always thin. Not sure if it was because they never grew in much or she just kept them that way.

    Vintage eyebrow shapes

    I was scanning some pictures for a quilt I'm making and I thought of this thread. Here are a couple pictures of my grandma. The first one is about 1936, we think her senior picture- so she's about 18. Looks like she completely shaved them off. The second one is about 1949-1950 I think. My dad is...

    Nutrition and exercise!

    We have a few guys in the meetings. And last week we had a few more join. Probably about 10 total out of about 40 women. I definitely think it's not a "girls" program. The website has special men's only section and message boards too. And at $39.95, a lot more affordable. And you can eat...

    Show us your vintage hats!

    I recently bought this hat on ebay. My reenacting group is taking a step back in time from our usual 30s show, to do an old west show, circa 1880s! So I found this hat and thought it was really neat and a deal at $20. The seller wrote: Classic Early 1890s Antique Hat You are bidding on...

    Footwear for Winter

    Sorry to add to any confusion!!! I think maybe it's more the silhouette to give you an idea of the shapes to look for? I think this book is for creating costumes or how to "get the look" kind of thing. The whole book is illustrations. So maybe the author was just saying- to get the 40s look...

    Footwear for Winter

    Sure, I'll check and see if there's anything! Here are my boots, they have a NRA tag so 33-35. Of course they are just on display since my calves are not like those of a 13 yr old :)

    Roaring 20s Murder Mystery Dinner

    Thanks Mojito and RBH! It really was a lot of fun. Saw some of our friends at a Cowboy game dinner party the other night and they were still talking about it! Just for reference, here's a couple of the sites I've used for the materials. The kits are very comprehensive with everything from...

    How Much Makeup?

    Gosh, I feel like I wear a lot! But I don't think it looks like it- and people always think I'm younger than I am? Oh well, I use primer, foundation, concealer (undereyes), blush, eyeliner, eyeshadow, mascara, brows (clear mascara) and powder and usually just colored lip balm. It's all soft...

    Depression Era clothing: Cinderella Man?

    The guys probably have more knowledge on this but I do know about this men's pants pattern: http://www.evadress.com/1141PR.html And I would think just about any store would have those henleys- my husband got one at Kohl's the other day but I'd imagine even Target and Walmart would have them.

    Roaring 20s Murder Mystery Dinner

    So we had our 3rd annual Murder Mystery party last Saturday. It was so much fun! We moved to a new house, so no garage speakeasy, but we did a few new things too. We have no furniture in our dining room yet, so we made that into a theater. My mother-in-law has a video projector, so we played...

    Halloween Costumes

    I just won first place in our costume contest at work and 75 bucks! I'll post pictures when I get a chance. The funny thing is, I went as a Mad Men secretary. Over half the people had no idea what that was eventhough they liked my outfit. When they announced me, they just thought I was a mad, as...
