    Ladies with cigarettes

    I too only smoke on special occasions, or even when it suits the outfit. I'd hate to let cigarettes control me. I find it so disturbing seeing people pale and shaking for a cigarette. When I'm in my little "vintage world" and cooking, I sometimes enjoy having swing music on and smoking. I...

    To wax or not to wax ????

    I'm bringing this topic up again for any of those concerned about vintage lady bits removal. Some of you asked if they ever did it, well going right back to the 1700s prostitutes used to shave everything off their lady bits to prevent lice, they then put a merkin on to hide the baldness...

    Hair Removal

    Even though it's now considered somewhat a taboo subject to talk about female body hair, I am interested in exactly which body hair was removed in the 20 through 50s and the techniques. Does anyone know the answer to this? If any of you ladies don't mind sharing, do you comply with vintage hair...

    Shutter Island (2009)

    Watched this film last night and loved it! Just my sort of thing. Annoyingly though I guessed the twist right at the beginning, but that's what you get when you're a psychotherapist I spose. The end quotation is my favourite and thoroughly poignant "Is it better to live as a monster, or die as...

    Best beauty decision you've made?

    I've got to say the eyebrows. I recently let them grow out a bit more, which is really hard to do as it's so tempting to pluck those hairs that look messy. But now they're fuller, frame my face better and look much more like 1940s eyebrows.

    40s Make up Video

    I'm sorry, but when "long face" came on I couldn't stop laughing. I thought it was lurch for a moment.

    Real great pincurls tutorial

    That is really good, thank you for sharing it. I find the pin curls diagrams for hairdos especially helpful. Yay experimentation time.

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    Indeed it is the same Epsom! I used to go to school with a few people who lived in Walton on Thames, but they were all millionaires and their houses were amazing! I find people in Surrey seem to really admire vintage dressers, but then again there are a lot of old fashioned types in the area...

    How did they keep their hair-do's from week to week?

    I asked my mum today how people in all the old forties footage seem to have perfect hair and it seemed to stay all week. She said she remembered her mum and older sister putting lacquer in their hair. It used to make it hard like a rock and make the style last all week. Apparently you can't buy...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    Public Reaction Good evening ladies and gentlemen, I'm new here and have been a part-time vintage dresser for about 2 years now. I'm currently moving into full-time vintage dressing, money and wardrobe permitting. I was really just wondering how people react to the way you all dress and...

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    Good evening everyone, I'm so glad I've been able to join this forum. It's so lovely so be able to discuss subjects with like-minded individuals. I'm into 1940s more than other eras, but I do have some early fifties style clothes. I'm currently in the process of re-hashing my wardrobe to...
