    Nutrition and exercise!

    I'm bringing this thread back to the top now that I'm actually starting to exercise! My boyfriend has lost 50 lbs in the past 3 months (:eek:) on Nutrisystem, from just portion control alone. Last year he was 300 lbs, slimmed down to 280 and now he's 230! He's halfway to his goal of 180, and...

    The ones that got away

    Oh, I must've misunderstood you, I thought you were saying the opposite! And that bathing suit is darling. But jeez, too expensive! I wish there were more Buy It Now's at reasonable prices. It would make things so much easier.

    At the QM or not?

    I hope it'll work out! I told my boyfriend about it, and since getting his first issue of Classic Style he's become a big nerd (like all of you fellows!) and all he can talk about is suits and ties and hats and was really excited about the QM event. I hope his dreams won't be crushed!

    Does anyone know why??

    I have absolutely no problem with cross-dressers or fetishists, especially when I'm selling. A couple of months ago I had about 11 auctions for vintage stockings up on Ebay. Every single winner was a man. I had one box of seamless vintage Hanes stockings go for $53! I hope he was happy with them!

    Show Us Your Purchases!

    They are?! It doesn't look that way! That's totally weird! I heard on another messageboard that someone bought a dress from that seller and the vintage tag was sewn in. The girl who bought it said it was obviously a homemade vintage item, but had a department store tag from another dress sewn...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    It's often because we have no choice!! Until a couple of months ago, I was one of those gals! I have big hips and a teeny waist, so with low rise pants my hips spill over making me look much bigger than I am. They've only really started making high-waisted pants mainstream in the past couple of...

    The ones that got away

    Bella, I avoid bidding early on because I know there will be bidding wars at the end of an auction, so if it's already at, say, $20 by day 3, instead of the starting price, it'll be that much more expensive by the end. Maybe my logic is flawed, but that's how I think of it. I have been...

    Other vintage lifestyles

    My best friend is very into the 70's 'bohemian'/hippie style of dress, and I guess embodies the lifestyle in some ways. The girl looks like she should be living on a commune! All those long flowy dresses make her look very cute and pixie-like though. She wants to learn to play the banjo and is...

    Jeans - help please

    The waist in jeans always stretches out too much for me over time, so I have to put them in the dryer to shrink them up again! But you can also stretch the waist in jeans in a similar way to stretching the inseam. I bought a pair of high-waisted Wranglers from the 50's that were just a...

    Jeans - help please

    Levi's has a great pair of high waisted jeans that are, oddly enough, not available through their stores or website. You have to special order them! They aren't wide legged though, so I don't know how many of you would like them, but I find that wide legs make me look weird. I've emailed...

    Everyday Bags

    This is my everyday purse, except the accent color is a nice muted green. It's truly gigantic, but I needed something huge to stuff all of my readers, notebooks and textbooks into during the school day. It's more like a duffel bag than a purse!

    Show us your hair do's....

    I think I'm just gonna come to terms with the fact that hot rollers just work loads better with my hair. Whenever I do a wet set my curls aren't nearly as bouncy, and they end up falling out half way through the day. But, oddly enough, with a set of hot curlers or hot sticks (I leave them in...

    What are you listening to?

    The Cramps. The title is slightly offensive, so I guess I'll leave that out! ;)

    Why do I hate the 1970s so much?

    Oh goodness. My best friend is absolutely enchanted with the 70's. She thinks Gunne Sax dresses are the best thing ever, and loves those horrendous 70's "porn" mustaches. Her boyfriend even has one! I would love to go on a double date with those two, it would be like battle of the decades...

    Fear of the feminine

    Kimberly, I feel exactly the same as you do. Miss Lucy, I don't think what you're doing (cooking, cleaning, taking care and being taken care of, etc.) are submissive acts unless you want them to be submissive. Self-sacrificing, maybe, but submissive, not necessarily. Is there a reason why you...

    Fear of the feminine

    Now honey, I am a "true" feminist and I would definitely say that the way you are does not make you anti-feminist at all! You definitely sound women positive, and I would say feminism is trying to amend the fact that society at large doesn't value the things you like to do, create, nurture, etc...

    Show us your hair do's....

    Thanks for the advice on the combs! I'll definitely try to use them for an up-do. I love using them just to pull my hair back into faux rolls, it's so easy and cute. Here's a photo of a sleeker, softer curled look I got last week after brushing out my curls after a long day at school:

    Show Us Your Purchases!

    Love the knit dresses Daisy! Everyone has been making such great purchases lately. I've been keeping a promise to myself that I won't even LOOK at Ebay right now. I've been working too little and spending too much! Keep on buying girls, cos I'm living vicariously through all of you right now!

    Foreign Films

    I'm in a European film history class right now, so I get to watch foreign films twice a week. Some of the standouts so far have been All About My Mother (Todo Sobre Mi Madre) by Almodovar, Breathless by Jean Luc Godard, La Femme Nikita by Luc Besson and The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie by...
