    The new Aguilera Video

    i like the video too. but the words are very trashy. you should look at the video "hurt". it's 20's/30's inspired. i like that one too. http://musicbox.sonybmg.com/video/christina_aguilera and click "hurt" on the right "aint no other man" is another vintage inspired video. check that...

    Have you read....

    I started to read the book but quit about 75 pages in. There is too much dialog in it and I got lost so many times. Who is talking now? Who is he talking to? I just couldn't "get" the constant conversations going on. I kinda liked the movie. I didn't really view it at an historical movie. I...

    Show us your hair do's....

    shebagrl: really pretty curls! i like your hair color. i'm a blonde too but mine is a darker. if you take a brush and brush out your curls, it will make pretty waves. you should try that too. you could have the veronica lake look. your hair is long enough.

    knitted curlers

    http://rupestur.blogspot.com/2007/07/quite-refreshing-stash-buster.html such a fantastic idea! i wish there was a crochet pattern for these too because i don't knit too well. i'll have to see if i can translate it into crochet. i would think these would be great to sleep in. and you can...

    Washing Fur

    try this: put it in a zippered garment bag with a box of that baking powder for refridgerators. the box that you tear off the sides and there is a mesh on the sides of the box. put one of those in the bag at the bottom. also, put in some balled up sheets of newspaper. i've heard that...

    oh my god bebop! STUNNING! i'm completely jealous of those waves. i would love to finger wave my hair but i just can't seem to get it right. i've given up. i don't even try anymore. i have stick straight hair and i think that is my problem.

    Do you love linens?

    I do. And what's funny, I never use them. I have a small collection of 40's tablecloths. But I love to look at them. Here is a great website to windowshop: http://www.retro-redheads.com/ I also have a collection of UGLY 70s potholders and cloth napkins. I do use those. The uglier, the better...

    Show us your hair do's....

    ok, i just reread what i typed and i think i didn't communicate very well. sorry if you took that wrongly. i didn't mean that your hair looked badly. i should have said something like: try using pincurls next time. it makes doing rolls much much easier and it gives your hair what i like to call...
