    Riot: you sound like my husband. He is a German armor expert. He is OBSESSED with anything German WW2 armor related. He even has a Tiger tank tattoo. I used to have a hamster named Rommel. hahaha

    Vintage styles for short hair

    i just found a printout someone made for me that explains the U cut. the last 2 measurements were cut off on the botton right. they should be 4 1/2" and 6". this is from a modern book but i don't know which one. i just have a few printouts.

    Vintage styles for short hair

    blackcigarette: as for brushing your hair all day long, i have found that the shorter your hair, the less you have to brush it. As for the U cut, I think your hairdresser will know what it is if you ask her. Ihr Englisch ist fein.

    In which WWII army should you have fought?

    I emailed this quiz to my good friend who is currently serving in the Army. He's in his mid-30s and has been in the Army since he was 18. A "gung-ho" kinda guy. His result was the French. HAHAHAH. man was he mad about that. I couldn't stop laughing for a good 10 min.

    Your most non-vintage preference or attributes ...

    I don't understand what the big deal about Bette Davis is? I don't see the beauty that people talk about. Her eyes bother me. Her acting is OK though. That doesn't bother me. I can't stand Danny Kaye. What is he on? His acting is always so forced for a laugh. I don't like Ella Fitzgerald for...

    Vintage styles for short hair

    Vintage styles for short hair

    look at this website http://www.moviemaidens.com/ in the 1930's column, look at "Alice White". she has a nice short hairstyle with bangs. i think a lot of us have a similar haircut. this is a good website for ideas.
