    Haunted pilots ring?!

    my friend has a ww2 german wool blanket that she wanted to sell on ebay. and she said it's impossible to take a picture of this blanket. every time she takes a picture of it, the photo is ruined no matter what camera she uses. flashes of light, or blurry, or weird light looking things in the...

    Show us your hair do's....

    drmags: i have thin hair too and the KEY to rolls with thin hair is pin curls. makes a HUGE difference. if you don't have time to do pincurls, i use hotsticks. they help too, but pincurls are the best.

    Plus Size Vintage

    i think the reason why your friends aren't selling more plus sized clothing is that when i'm looking at dresses, there is always one measurement that is WAY off. i can never find a dress in my dimensions or just a bit larger and i can have it taken in. it's always like a perfect fit up top but...

    ISO low heeled shoes?

    Holy smokes Leah! $186! wow. cute shoes but WAY out of my price range. Why in god's name do shoes have to cost this much? No fair. As for low heeled shoes. I got a pair of leather soled penny loafers in super great shape at a thrift store. LOVE them.
