    Pro-Curler

    In Texas, beauty school students still have to do pin curls for their exam. It may be the same in Mass.? I would check with the beauty schools in the area. I took the cosmetology course in my high school. We had to do fingerwaves and pin curls everyday. I would have loved to practice on a real...

    Roaring 20s Murder Mystery Dinner

    Don't apologize, everything IS in Texas! Yes, there will be a theatrical aspect to it. We invited 20 people, and they all have characters to play. They have to dress up. One will be murdered and all the guests are suspects. So far, we found some fantastic music to play. I need to think up a...

    Traveling Vintage: Ladies edition!

    I had the Eagle Creek backback too. I highly recommend. The one I had, you could use as a backback, or tuck everything in and use it as a suitcase. They even have ones with wheels now http://www.eaglecreek.com/

    Traveling Vintage: Ladies edition!

    I spent 6 weeks in Europe traveling to 10 countries a few years ago. If I can suggest one thing, pack light! I brought mix and match separates, and only had one bag, with a smaller backback that attached. I did laundry once a week or so. I saw other people at train stations and airports with all...

    What Not to Wear...

    I LOVE this show. I watch it all the time. Stacy and Clinton crack me up. I have taken a few of their tips. If they have someone with my body shape on, I'll see what they suggest. And I think the suggestions I have tried have been flattering. BUT I still can't get into the pointy shoe. I'll try...

    Ladies' Hats (for Big Heads)

    Dillards does have some really cute vintagey hats for fall! Also, SteinMart has a lot too. Some of them were big on me, so ya'll might try those two places. SteinMart's prices were better that Dillard's and they had a couple of the exact same hats, $48 vs $30

    Bra Sizes

    I'm the same size and I just feel lucky if I can find a bra that fits! I've never seen retro bra styles in our size. I usually buy a UK brand Fantasie you are probably familiar with.

    Lipliner...?

    You might try Almay's TLC long lasting lip color. I'm not sure how the reds look, but I have a pink that I like. I don't think it's quite as drying as the Covergirl. http://www.almay.com/Pg/Main/CatProdDet.aspx?catid=33&catnm=Lips&subid=236&subnm=Lipcolor&prd=28598&osubnm=Lipcolor
