    Sanitary Belts

    I actually use a pretty vintage method of dealing with my time of the month! At night, and when I'm lounging at home (they are a little too bulky to wear with regular clothes), I use cloth pads made from flannel and terry cloth. Ladies used to make their own cloth pads way back in the day before...

    New job for your vintage lifestyle?

    What was your graduate (and undergrad) training for this? I was watching 1900 House the other night and decided being a museum curator was my new dream job!

    New job for your vintage lifestyle?

    I'm a photographer as well. I'm in my second year at the UCLA School of Arts. I want to do art photography though. My absolute dream would be to have a book of my work and be in a museum. We'll see how that goes! Right now I work at one of the university's research libraries in the accounting...

    Doomed to wear baggy clothes!!!

    I've seen some jackets like those at Forever 21 too! Now is definitely the time to go to the mall & stock up on vintage style clothes. They have some pretty fashionable stuff out now for cheap. It'll probably make it easier for you to find different cuts on vintage-inspired stuff.

    Who wears Chucks?!

    I have a pair of white chucks! I used to wear them all the time. Now I only wear them when I've worn holes through my Keds and have yet to buy a new pair. Honestly, one of the reasons why I like them so much is because of the ankle support the high-tops give. And cos, ya know, I'm still a...

    Powder Room Pets?

    I'm not much of a cat person, but all the cute kitties on this topic are making me change my mind! She doesn't live with me anymore (I'm away at college), but this is my beloved boston terrier Zoe: She looks a little forlorn, but that's because shes 11 years old and not as spritely as...

    Oh, the Stigma of an Astigmatism. . .

    I adore vintage eyewear. It's just so much fun, and a nice finishing touch to any outfit. I have slight astigmatism, but not enough to require a prescription (not yet anyways), so I'm on the hunt for some vintage sunglasses right now. My boyfriend, on the other hand, needs some vintage...

    Sponge rollers---your looks and suggestions?

    I re-rolled them the way that was suggested in here, but when I woke up this morning, my hair was much more Clara Bow than I wanted it to be! I probably rolled them too tightly. Is it possible to get looser, "40's" style curls with this type of roller, or should I just get some regular ones...

    Sponge rollers---your looks and suggestions?

    I get what youre saying! Unfortunately I do have layered hair (otherwise its just too thick and crazy), but I think I've pretty much mastered what you're saying. These are a pain, but they seem like they'll be comfortable. But if they dont work out, what are good brands of sponge rollers to get?

    Sponge rollers---your looks and suggestions?

    Soft Sponge Rollers? It was either in a thread on this site or a post in the vintage hair livejournal community, but someone recommended getting soft sponge rollers for setting hair in overnight. So I picked up some Conair soft sponge rollers (size Large) and put them in my hair tonight...

    Starting on red lipstick ;)

    I've actually been wearing bright red lipstick since the 9th grade. I never thought twice about wearing it. At the time I most identified with "riot grrrl", which is like a style of feminist punk, so it was part of the look. I've always gotten a lot of compliments on it. My mom is always...

    I know people look at us

    I go to the art school at UCLA in Los Angeles, so I see some semi-weird attire on a daily basis. Pretty much your usual "hipster" stuff, super tight pants on guys with pointy boots, paired with an ironic t-shirt, suspenders and a crazy hairdo. So there's always fun fashion going on. But the...

    The Pinup Thread

    My friend works there and wears a lot of their stuff. The cardigans look very nice, not really my style (shes more of a psychobilly/non-vintage rockabilly type gal), and not too bad quality. She got me some rose earrings for my birthday there too and cute as well. It's not top of the line...

    What goodies are on sale!?

    The "Norma Jeans"? I think I'm gonna head over to My Baby Jo's store this weekend to try them on. They look super cute. I only have one Stop Staring dress and I have never worn it because I dont have shoes to match! Regardless of fabric issues, I love there stuff even though its expensive...

    The donkey one is too cute. It reminds me of something my grandma has.
