    Which decade is the worst in terms of style?

    Just to turn it on its head a little in a more philosophical way, perhaps we are the ones being outrageous and we are the ones who are rebelling. Many people think vintage dressers are a bit loony as it is. Indeed we have all in our own way on this forum decided to dispense with modern...

    Which decade is the worst in terms of style?

    Hahaha that actually really made me laugh, just my sort of humour (dad thinks I'm weird now laughing in front of the computer). That picture has actually made me start to feel physically sick :confused:

    Which decade is the worst in terms of style?

    I think part of what I hate about modern fashion, is the complete indiscretion, you can have everything on show and for some reason it doesn't matter. No matter how cheap you look, no one actually seems to care. I've come to love the idea that leaving a bit to the imagination is far far...

    The most horrible remake ever to be made

    I didn't realise the Steve Martin "Cheaper by the Dozen" (hate this film) was a re-make, until I actually caught the original at a matinee. The original was wonderful! The re-make had entirely lost the point of the story, cheapened the comedy and was generally naf naf naf, one of the worst...

    The right eye shadow shade

    Browns and pinks are good shades for green eyes. Try using a light cream/very light colour on the inside of your eyelids and grade the colour getting darker outwards and fill right to the outside of your eyeball socket (I hope that makes sense). Eyeliner can also make your eyes look bigger...

    Secret Weapons

    If your problem is literally just a habit then it might be worth going to see a hypnotherapist about it. I'm a clinical hypnotherapist and some of what you're describing can be dealt with in one session. Nail biting and things like that are usually a childhood habit that has just remained with...

    Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky

    I don't know if anyone's seen it, but "Coco before Chanel" is a wonderful film. It's French and Audrey Tautau plays Chanel. The fashion in it is to die for! And it's a fairly accurate biography of Coco from what I understand, but I would like to get her biography to top up the information...

    Sherlock Holmes

    "I do think the tv show "House" is among the best "inspired by Holmes" projects ever done." House is amazing! I love the depth of the character. Stupidly it took me ages to work out that House and Wilson have begin with the same first letter as Holmes and Watson tsk tsk, silly things we...

    Max Factor Pan-Cake Foundation

    I layered it very gentley, hardly any on the sponge and really not that much water. Setting it with face powder afterwards though really makes it last. I really use very little so it doesn't have a chance to go streaky. It hasn't even melted off in this hot weather, which people have said it...

    Just gotta rant...vintage sellers who drive me nuts!

    I completely understand and wouldn't normally comment on it, but this buyer had bought over 200 hats (i got bored after some number of pages)...so I did think that can't be just for friends or themselves. I can't blame sellers because it's all business. I suppose it's just the rip off price...

    Max Factor Pan-Cake Foundation

    I got mine today too! It's so good! I used a small amount, went on perfectly, covered my stupid black eye bags and it wasn't heavy at all! I love it yaaaay!

    Just gotta rant...vintage sellers who drive me nuts!

    I completely agree. It's the same as with those people who buy loads of gig tickets only so they can sell them on at a more expensive price. I bought a hat the other day and someone else was bidding on it. I checked their profile thing and they had bought loads and loads of hats. I soon...

    Which decade is the worst in terms of style?

    I HATE Ug boots. They look so horrible and slovenly. I was only born in the late 80s, but I seem to remember the 90s fashion was pretty bad: parachute trousers (what was all that string coming off it?), chunky trainers, overly straightened and unflattering hair. I think any era has its...

    Secret Weapons

    I'm usually a member of the red toenail club, but I always have to have my fingernails and toenails a matching colour, otherwise I feel scruffy. I also have to have matching underwear on. My other secret weapons are probably my naughty piercings and my one sneaky tattoo that no one would...

    "Doctor Who," He's Back and it's About Time!

    The new show has actually received a few complaints that the doctor wears clip on braces instead of button-on braces (I think you call them suspenders in America?) I think if he was going to channel old fashioned dress, bow tie and tweed he should at least do it properly. Mind you a lot about...

    "Doctor Who," He's Back and it's About Time!

    What I would like to see is the Doctor actually going one episode without using the sonic screwdriver to get out of every situation! One old episode he actually lost it and had to make do without. I'd like to see them do it again.

    What do you do for Living?

    After graduating in Philosophy last year, I'm now training to be a clinical hypnotherapist and have already started practising. I aim to get an MSC in the subject and eventually a PhD. I'm also investing in property having saved a lot of money, whilst doing the stereotypical "university" job.

    Manicures

    Rita Hayworth used to have gorgeous nails and she said it was because she put oil on them everyday. Almond oil is great. Maybe you need to oil your nails to keep them from drying out?

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    I'm pretty sure that's similar to the hairstyle of the stepmother in Disney's Cinderella (major Disney geek here). Maybe that was why. Personally I would take that as a compliment because she is rather elegant.

    "Doctor Who," He's Back and it's About Time!

    It's just nice to know others feel the same! As much as I love Doctor Who, I've actually forgotten to watch the last two episodes. Completely slipped my mind. That's never happened before! How terrible xxx
