    Show us your vintage hats!

    I just redid this hat. It was in pretty sad shape when I got it. One of the guys gave me the hint to iron it- and it worked like a dream to get the wrinkles and dust out. Here's the original, it has the NRA label so it's from 1933-1935- perfect for my depression-era reenacting. Here's...

    2DaysinParis

    I went and saw this over the weekend. It was really funny, a little bizarre, and quite enjoyable. If you like quirky movies, and you don't mind a lot of sex talk, then you'll enjoy this movie. Her parents were hilarious, and I don't think they were acting all that much :)

    I've joined too and I am working on my Spark Page! I think this will help keep me motivated. I joined WW about 8 weeks ago after being inspired by Nikki ;) And I have lost 10 lbs so far, 40 to go!!!

    How does a girl keep warm?

    Well, being on the petite side, I would recommend not going too long. She's also probably going to need a petite size. I am only 5' and I usually have luck at JCPenney. This one on their website is super cute and has a vintage flair and a good length. I can't get a link to work but here's a...

    How does a girl keep warm?

    Give us some details. Does she want a modern vintage-inspired coat, or an authentic vintage coat? What is her build? short, tall, curvy, slender? Does she like a particluar era?

    My Wedding Outfit & Other Questions

    I've always liked the hat with veil that Jennifer Lopez wore in the Wedding Planner. The veil came around and hit just under her chin I think. Also, check out the girl in the middle. I like the little hat she is wearing. This is from our reenacting event last weekend.

    My Wedding Outfit & Other Questions

    What about a flower in your hair? I think a Gardenia or if you did red- maybe a rose- or something to match a small bouquet? Keep that in mind if you can't find a hat. An ivory hat may be hard to find that would still be clean. I'd keep the hat on the small side so you can see your face in the...

    The DINER.

    Suzie Q We were recently in Mason City, Iowa and we had the opportunity to eat at a Valentine diner. I had never heard of one, but it was great! I didn't have my camera, but I found a picture online of it, see below. The inside just had 8 barstools and a counter. And the breakfast was...

    Frank Lloyd Wright Hotel Restoration & Whats wrong with current building practice?

    Thanks so much for posting these pictures. I didn't get a chance to check it out as we were so busy with the show. I look forward to seeing the end result! The former bank building where we did the reenactment had some pictures of the original inside. Everything was marble- the floors and walls...

    Setting Lotion Application Problems

    This works great. It's called Thermal Active Setting Spray, but you can use it for both wet sets and hot rollers. http://www.matrix.com/products/biolage/styling.aspx

    Help! Make up that doesn't get into wrinkles??

    I use Smashbox Photo Finish. I am hooked on it! I have tried both the clear, and the more tan colored- but it goes on clear too. They're wonderful, and you can get it on ebay cheaper than the stores. It lasts a long time too, you only need a little.

    ebay worries

    Oh, that's sad! Yes, I tend to jump to conclusions, so I guess sometimes there is a reason for no communication. You just never know... Thanks for all the feedback. I went ahead and asked them to refund my money. And I asked them to let me know if it turns up- we'll see. I hope I don't find...

    Appropriate Dress to Wear As Wedding Guest. Black? Red?

    I see nothing wrong with a black dress. Especially if it's an evening wedding. I think it's more important to wear something nice and something you feel comfortable in. Then you will walk with confidence and feel pretty! I personally would not wear pants, I think a wedding is something special...

    vintage cowgirl attire

    I've been to the Cowgirl Museum, it's really nice. I'd definitely recommend it! It seems like I remember seeing a website that had outfits like these. I will look around and see if I can find it :)
