Top Baby Names from 20's thru 40's
My dad wanted to name me Isabel Jack, after my great-grandmother (Jack is apparently used as a woman's middle name in Scotland), but instead my mom got her way and now I am a Meredith. I'm so disappointed, I love the name Isabel. So I think when I have children, if I have a boy he will be...- pigeon toe

Nothing but Seamed Stockings
That's exactly what I think when I see those tattoos! I won't judge someone for their tattoos, considering I love the art form, but that one is kind of impractical since you have to choose your wardrobe around it.- pigeon toe

Colours for brunettes!! ;-)
Maybe you are going too dark? Eyebrows, for dark hair, are supposed to be one or two shades lighter than the hair color. A lot of women try to match it exactly (I've had one too many hairdressers try to talk me into dying my brows black), and that's where they get wrong. My eyebrows are...- pigeon toe

Nothing but Seamed Stockings
That's just crazy! Wearing a pair of stockings seems like 100x easier than "airbrushing" your legs! Have you ladies ever seen girls with seams tattooed on their legs? I have and I always think they are going to regret it. It's obviously just not the same! Plus, what happens when they age and...- pigeon toe

Colours for brunettes!! ;-)
Even though I'm not a brunette (I have dyed black hair, very pale skin and hazel/greenish eyes), yellow is my #1 color! I usually try to go with bright colors to brighten up my face, since pale skin and black hair can occasionally look harsh. Maybe someday I'll go brunette. I love rich...- pigeon toe

How is your eye?
I suppose I have a keen eye, but combine that with my inherent laziness/indifference, it balances out to just a regular eye! I can spot excellent vintage clothes in thrift stores, estate sales and vintage shops, but when it comes to spending money on them, I'm kind of a tightwad. I've also...- pigeon toe

Curvy Rouching
Oh god, I just love Hollywood-style bathing suits. Is yours vintage or reproduction? I think the rouching on those is just fabulous for ANY body type!- pigeon toe

Show Us Your Purchases!
I nearly died when it actually arrived. It is in absolutely AMAZING condition, I was totally shocked. The velvet was in perfect condition. I was even worried at one point that it wasn't even vintage! ;) I guess someone must have stored it very carefully for many years, because I've never seen...- pigeon toe

Seamed stockings for the New Year!
Wow, I would love to have friend's with such a neat place! I agree, seamed stockings really do complete an outfit. I get so many more compliments on a vintage outfit (from women, as well as non-leering men) when I wear my stockings. There's something about those little touches, stockings...- pigeon toe

Nothing but Seamed Stockings
Somehow I've had very good luck with keeping my seams straight. I read a tip somewhere that says to fasten the back garter clip first. I've done it every time and it's always worked for me, even on a pair of stockings that were a little too big. I also wear a girdle with six garters, so if...- pigeon toe

Curvy Rouching
I've worn some tops that are rouched at the bust, and it definitely makes me look fuller. I've noticed some vintage-style bathing suits are rouched, and though I haven't tried any on, I'm sure they will definitely give or enhance an hourglass figure. I love rouching! I probably should never...- pigeon toe

Show Us Your Pedigree! The Heritage Thread.
My mom's side is Irish (my great grandparents immigrated to New York in the 1920's), and my dad's is Scottish (I believe his family immigrated to the U.S. in the late 1800's). A lot of people don't believe that my mom is full Irish though, since she, her brother and her father are all...- pigeon toe

When Is Your Birthday?
August 26th, 1987. I think it's the same day women got the right to vote in the 20's? I could be wrong though, its been awhile since my last US History class!- pigeon toe

The Hardest Laugh You Ever Had
I totally giggled at this, because I've had so many moments like that! Sleepiness makes me have crazy uncontrollable laughter too. I've had so many funny moments, but none of them make any sense, so there's no point in recounting them here. One thing that does get me to laugh uncontrollably...- pigeon toe

"Advocate Glamoure all the time..."
I nearly always am "dressed down", I suppose, but magically, everyone (including strangers) seems to know that I am going for the vintage look. I guess it just permeates everything after awhile! Right now though, since I´m in Argentina, I´ve just been blowdrying my hair straight everyday...- pigeon toe

Pomade
5 months worth?! My boyfriend uses up a tin of Murray's in about a month! Then again, my boyfriend wears his hair in a 50's pompadour, so its quite long in the front. You must have short hair to make that tin last 5 months!- pigeon toe

Stocking Sizes
I ordered some FFs from them too, size small, and they were VERY long. I made it work, but by the end of the Christmas party I wore them too, they were quite baggy at the ankles and knees (at least my dress covered my knees). I think my problem is that I'm both short and have chicken calves (my...- pigeon toe
