"Nude" Stockings for Pale Gals?
Wow! Thanks so much for all those suggestions. I'm definitely gonna check some of those out (that is, if I'm not totally broke after the Santa Monica Vintage Expo this weekened). Is there any way I can get the regular length Magnolia stockings directly from them instead of Vicki's? I need to...- pigeon toe

Good deed for the day.
I saw a really well-dressed student outside of my lecture hall today. No hat, but he was wearing an excellent dark camel-colored pea coat with all these lovely details, a teal wool scarf tucked in, nice slacks and some dress shoes. He couldn't have been more than 23 or 24. I kept staring at him...- pigeon toe

A nice way to finish my day.
That's so sweet of him! It's absolutely appalling how rude men can be to women these days. I was carrying a big heavy tripod in one arm and a heavy suitcase with video equipment in it the other day, and it was obvious that I was struggling to keep from falling, and not a single guy held a...- pigeon toe

STOP STARING!!!
I love the fit of Stop Staring, so I don't mind dealing with less than stellar fabric. Actually, the satin dresses I have by them are made with very nice fabric, but then again, I don't know too much about anything to do with dressmaking! It's just nice to have a company who makes really...- pigeon toe

Those look really nice! Are they only available online, or do you know any places (like Target maybe?) that sells them?- pigeon toe

"Nude" Stockings for Pale Gals?
My legs, which barely see the light of day, are frightfully white. And though I expect most stockings to be a shade or two darker, I'm having a lot of trouble finding a non-vintage pair that are sheer enough to look like my legs haven't been transplanted onto me from a completely different body...- pigeon toe

STOP STARING!!!
That suggestion has worked for me too. I have a 26 inch waist and find that I fit either a small or a medium perfectly, depending on the fabric they use.- pigeon toe

Packing a Suitcase - Video
That's kind of eerie, cos that's exactly how my dad taught me to pack! Although he isn't as crafty and never made any handled divider sheets! Oh man, he had to give me his ultimate packing lesson this Christmas, because I ended up packing in the kookiest, most inefficient way ever. And since my...- pigeon toe

The Femme Fatale look
I'm with you HadleyH! Maybe it's just because I look so young and innocent, but even when I'm wearing a tight pencil skirt and sweater with sexy red lips, I still think I look like the girl next door!- pigeon toe

My Favorite Years.
I'm all about the style. Whether it be the clothing or the architecture, I'm in love. To be honest, what I'm counting on is when I die instead of going to heaven I'll be allowed to time travel back to the 1940's. Now wouldn't that be something! But like you, Nathan Dodge, I'm batty for the late...- pigeon toe

Waiting for Classic Style Magazine
I saw a whole stack at my local B&N! I was tempted to put a copy in front of each of the trashy men's magazines, like I used to put feminist magazines in front of stuff like Marie Claire when I was in 8th grade. But I held back! Wouldn't want to make the place a nightmare to clean up for the...- pigeon toe

Show Us Your Purchases!
You're so lucky Lauren! Right now I am reading a book on feminism and pin-up iconography and the chapter on the Gibson Girl was so interesting. I would love to own an original book of his.- pigeon toe

Taste of Home
It looks cute! I just finished baking some cupcakes in the kitchen (with homemade frosting), and though the cupcakes were out of a box, I felt quite proud of my frosting accomplishments! I'm quite a klutz in the kitchen, but I think I could accomplish making some comfort foods...- pigeon toe

Sartorial Objections
My boyfriend is guilty of that one, however, I've seen the other option, and the trousers below the tummy is much, much better. :)- pigeon toe

Do or don't: Full on vintage.
Someday I believe I will dress in full-on vintage everyday. But for now, it's kind of an impossibility. I tend to wear jeans very often, as it's kind of a pain for me to be walking around campus all day in a skirt, heels and stockings. I still do it sometimes though! I often wear vintage...- pigeon toe

Some questions about vintage clothing for everyone.
I've got a very, very narrow foot too! Which is great cos I can squeeze into those 5 1/2 AAA vintage shoes, but for modern stuff, I tend to slip right out. See my problem is, I am addicted to seamed stockings. And to me, they just don't look right with flat shoes! So I'm stuck with heels or...- pigeon toe

Some questions about vintage clothing for everyone.
To answer your questions: Almost always I wear a vintage-inspired outfit, if not vintage. I'm a jeans and blouse kinda gal (though less so recently), so I usually try to pair vintage style jeans with a vintage (or vintage-inspired blouse). It's hard for me to wear vintage every day because I...- pigeon toe
