    Nutrition and exercise!

    Please don't be! I'm sure I was fitter when I didn't teach. Thing is, you demo once or twice and then spend most of the time getting up and down and keeping your beady eye on everyone and correcting! And then you find you're teaching at the times when classes tend to run, so nyet for your own...

    THE BIG PARADE (1925)

    That's funny, because I'm always shelling out to get things shipped over here from the States - the recent WB releases, the TCM Pre-code sets and Kino vids come to mind off the bat. Pray tell, have I been overlooking some 4-leaf clovers in my own backyard??!

    What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?

    I use from time to time the Russian Red, and the only time it looks terrible is if my lips are in need of exfoliation. Then it wears off unevenly and the result is not pretty. Otherwise, like my Illamasqua Maneater, it takes a licking and keeps on ticking, and ticking, and ticking...

    Nutrition and exercise!

    I only asked because I teach, and mainly in gym environments, where the ethos is very much "bums on seats", and often the equipment to enable modification of exercises (say for people such as yourself with back problems, pregnancy, etc.) is not there. So it was just to kind of advise a bit of...

    Nutrition and exercise!

    If you don't mind me asking, Smuterella, are you doing group classes in say, a gym setting?

    Nutrition and exercise!

    Do you mean that sourdough bread is less, as Paisley says, "wheat belly"-inducing than other breads?

    Facebook anybody?

    Thanks for the heads up on that one. I have had to join the thing after fighting tooth and nail in order to join a private group and be kept up to date with our doings, but I really don't feel comfortable with the default settings giving out more info than I wish to give (which, to be honest...

    THE BIG PARADE (1925)

    I did see it, but a long time ago (an Ebay bootleg no doubt). Anything with John Gilbert in it gets a thumbs up from me!

    What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?

    It's true - there are so many cosmetics companies out there who sell cruelty-free products that these days we are spoiled for choice. I wish the same could be said for shoes...:(

    What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?

    I'm a fan of Penelope Red, too, but I've had to look further afield as it just doesn't last on me, nor am I too fond of L'oreal's animal testing policies. MAC's Ladybug is pretty similar on me, though. If I want something that's definitely staying put, I haul out the Illamasqua Maneater...

    What would your name be? (Gents too!)

    I would be a bit careful with John Thomas, as it is slang for something (heard not-so-famously in The Road to Wellville)...vintage slang, to be sure, but slang nevertheless... Vasti's got a ring to it :)

    What would your name be? (Gents too!)

    I've always been partial to Nastassia (or Nastassja), but after having seen Svengali I'm digging the name Trilby (I didn't know the hat was named after the character!). :)

    Does your Dancing have Enough Soul?

    Blocked in the UK "on copyright grounds", whatever that means - grrrrrr! :mad:

    Favourite Horror Flick?

    Ooh, I have the box set - I love this series! Seeing it as an adult I really enjoy what Darren McGavin does with the role. Very 30's wise-cracking reporter type. Hechtian, would you say? This wasn't my first scare but coincidentally, the first one I can recall was crying and begging my...

    Are we LYING about our dresses???

    Whoo whee, somebody really got up on the wrong side of the bed! Reckon she just got given the air by a vintage-wearing boyfriend or something? Such venom - so uncalled for, tsk tsk... P.S. Cone boobs rule!

    Retro=Frumpy?

    The following is a quote from The Complete Book of Sewing, published in 1943: "A good posture is always the first step toward making you and your clothes look twice as well, regardless of figure, style, and price. Hold your stomach in until it becomes a habit and you no longer have to...

    Sewing Lessons & FAQ

    There was a suggestion from Cailinbeag a bit lower down that it may be called Tencel here? It only seems to pop up on Eco websites here (which is actually a good thing, as far as I'm concerned!), not very common. I wonder if viscose is anywhere in the ballpark? Well, I hate to say it, but...

    Thank you so much, Carnage, for your post - now I know what to get my guy for his birthday, and where to get it! Oh, I noticed that was your first post, so welcome to the Lounge!

    Non-niffy hairspray?

    I did a little search and yes, it sells on Amazon.co.uk - I shall soon put an order through. I was about to edit my post, adding a no animal testing requirement, but KMS is jake. I have somewhat of a mane myself - which hold would you recommend? I see something called QuickHold too, which it...
