This is going to sound ridiculous, but until I was in second grade, I REALLY wanted to drive a garbage truck.
After that, I wanted to be a starving artist and writer. I also went through a phase in fourth grade in which I wanted to be a marine biologist.
I get that too, and I have a very flat stomach.
I don't know if this would apply to the 50's and 60's, but last week I saw an image of a woman with a very cinched Victorian waist (with corset) and her little stomach pooch seemed much more exaggerated. Maybe it accommodates extra pooch after...
I just inherited this very lovely blouse. It's a very casual piece; it looks like it was originally worn for leisure activities.
It's fitted, but the cut is very loose, as was the fashion.
Do any of you fashion-forward ladies have any suggestions of what to wear it with? Both modern and...
For lips, there's a really great product at the Body Shop that I wear almost everyday (I can't do dramatic red lipstick and liner everyday) -- it's their lip stain, which is made with roses. They changed the bottle, but I'm pretty sure it's the same stuff...I'm about to pick up another tube...
Good points, everyone.
I have one pair of fairly low vintage heels, but they're really not in the best condition. They were so cheap that I couldn't resist, though! I use them more for dancing than anything.
I walk a LOT. My feet are my primary mode of transportation, and I walk several...
Ooh, I agree! I've certainly seen many modern-dressed women looking fantastically classy and well put-together.
I was also reminded of this when I was walking to school a few days ago. I was wearing an all-modern (excluding my lucite purse) ensemble, and an elderly woman tapped me on the...
I say, I the Glad Rag is fabulous!! They're so soft and breathable...
Right now I'm using the Glad Rag at night and organic, non-chlorine bleached tampons during the day.
This year, I'm on the costume and makeup crew for a university production of a play called "Zanna Don't."
I was in a few plays at Jew camp when I was younger -- I really wish I had photos, because the costumes were hilarious! You've got to be REALLY thrifty at camp. I was a pirate in "Peter...
Ask her! You should join the forum at miss-vintage.com. It's pretty dead compared to this one, but it's building...Anyway, she posts her stuff there all the time and would probably be happy to tell you what she does. I know on the vintagehair Livejournal community she said that the curls are...
My mom used to throw the BEST birthday parties for me and my sister!
Once we created our own version of the Olympics, with competitions we made up. We had a few other more traditional birthday parties as well. My mom always made the cakes, and I decorated them -- NO grocery store cakes...
