Let's Be Gorgeous!
Oh goodness, since my other post was so short and slightly negative, I've decided to indulge! I love: - my vintage hourglass figure - my massive amounts of thick hair that holds curl really well - my chubby thighs - my intuition when it comes to photography and art - the fact that I...- pigeon toe

Clothing color combinations
I'm in love with bright colors, it really livens up my pale coloring and looks good with my black hair. I never even bother with looking at black clothing (except for the ubiquitous band t-shirt, but obviously that's not vintage), and only own 1 black reproduction dress. I tend to stay away from...- pigeon toe

Show us your hair do's....
Okay, I have a hair question that's been plaguing me for awhile now. How can I get volume at my roots in the way the ever-so-lovely Dita von Teese does in this picture?: I got a lot of hair, that's pretty thick, but it doesn't have much volume to it. I've used volumizing mousses before...- pigeon toe

Headscarf
I've always wanted to do a cute headscarf thing, but I never know what type of outfit to wear it with. What do you ladies suggest for a Rosie the Riveter headscarf deal or the turban ones? Casual, obviously! But still, it's one of the few looks that I'm not brave enough to wear outside!- pigeon toe

Vintage Appliances
Yup, we figured it was a disaster waiting to happen if we plugged it in. Unfortunately my boyfriend's dad got to it before an electrician could! Who knows if that thing will ever work now.- pigeon toe

Incongruencies of body art?
I don't have any body mods yet (besides regular ear lobe piercings), but I have always wanted tattoos. I love very traditional flash, like Sailor Jerry. I have a whole book of tattoos from the 40's and 50's and I absolutely love it. However, I truly am indecisive and don't want to make a...- pigeon toe

Vintage Appliances
I asked my grandma to hold onto her 1950's turquoise electric stove for me. So far she has promised to do just that! They use it everyday and haven't needed to replace it since they bought it. It's so perfect, can't wait to own it someday. She now says she wished she kept the matching fridge for...- pigeon toe

Two pairs of FF Stretch seamed stockings. Hopefully the stretch will cure the problem I have of annoyingly baggy knees and ankles. 1940's pattern for a slip. It'll be my first sewing project! It's only 2 pieces so hopefully I'll survive.- pigeon toe

Vintage Makeup Favorites
I noticed that yesterday! I ended up buying some Translucent since I didn't realize it only applied to certain shades. Oh well, I'll always have back up! Does anyone know what each shade is like? I was too afraid to buy one and find out that its totally not my color.- pigeon toe

Pattern swap starts here!!
Ooh, I can't wait until I learn to sew so I can participate in this. I left my sewing machine at home so I haven't been able to learn on boring lonely weekends (like this one!). I'm keeping my eye on this very simple long slip pattern from the 40's on ebay right now. It's only 2 pieces...- pigeon toe

Tummy control
It's not a high-waisted Rago girdle, but I've had a lot of luck with tummy control with the open-bottomed Rago 1359. It makes my tummy almost perfectly flat! Granted my tummy is all chub, no muscle, so it's easy to shift everything around.- pigeon toe

Help please! Diamonds are a girl's best friend...
At fredflare.com they have big plastic diamonds that are pretty cute. I bought some for my girlfriends for Christmas. Also try going to Party City and looking in the wedding shower aisle. I found some cute cocktail stirrers with diamonds on the top. They usually have lots of cute diamond...- pigeon toe

Marilyn Monroe/Norma/natural hair color
Aww, I love Marilyn. What a bombshell! My hair was white blonde as a child too, and stayed like that until I was about 5. I started dying my hair in 9th grade, but up until then it was a mousy brown. I would have looked weird as a blonde, but it would have been better than mousy brown!- pigeon toe

Let's Be Gorgeous!
You are so sweet! I know I shouldn't be so hard on myself, I just think I'm going through that self-conscious phase NOW instead of high school. It's funny how I could be so confident back then when everyone else was probably so down in the dumps! I'm tiny and got big eyes too, not to mention a...- pigeon toe

Gloves: sizing, etiquette and all other stuff
Hamilton Honey, you look adorable! I love that hat on you. I'm another Bay Area person too (well, originally, now I live in LA for school). I used to live in Kentfield (right next to San Rafael). One of my best friends lived up in Novato. I'm so excited to be going home in a few weeks, even...- pigeon toe
