    Ok my husband made fun of my make up....

    I agree with the ladies here on the lipstick - are darker shade would suit you nicely. If you're not ready for red yet, perhaps try a nice berry shade! I like to take MAC's Russian Red or Mac Red, blot, and then put a coat of pink over top. This gives a nice bright look without the bold daring...

    Ok my husband made fun of my make up....

    I think you look great! It just looks strange when we're accustomed to another look, you know? If you want some great basic info on layering moisturizer/foundation/powder grab one of Kevin Aucoin's books. His "Making Faces" also has a great step by step for Marilyn-style makeup. The...

    Girdles, Corsets, and Underpinnings

    Great idea ladies, thanks for all your hard work! Just don't make me confused about where to go for info on high waisted panties - I'm likely to try to go to the "bottom" thread for something like that...

    Besame Cosmetics Personal Stock for Sale NIB

    Thanks! How much do you want for it? Another question: does it have that awful rose smell that they use for a lot of their products?

    Besame Cosmetics Personal Stock for Sale NIB

    Some of these colors seem to be discontinued and aren't on their site. Are they no longer selling their foundation? Potentially interested, but can't find the product listing on their website.

    How much do you pay for dry cleaning?

    Yep, the vinyl ones. I have both regular and short sleeved versions. I find that I use the short-sleeved version much more! I think the ones that snap onto your bra are probably awesome! I've just never tried them, mostly because I get what's available at my local fabric store - and I...

    How much do you pay for dry cleaning?

    How could I have forgotten? Seconded! Dress shields are the best (and 100% of-the-era!). Get pin-in ones to save on the cost of disposables. They're so easy to remove and wash. Go here for the best - http://www.kleinertsshields.com/.

    How much do you pay for dry cleaning?

    Well if there's shrinkage risk, that's another issue entirely! I'm not sure about the voile, but rayon definitely risks shrinkage. Those items are the only ones I'll dry clean, but as Inky said, i stretch it out. Cleaning usually costs me $15 a dress, but I try to clean them as little as...

    How much do you pay for dry cleaning?

    At that point, you might as well buy a brand new dress. No, this is not normal - there is no way in hell you should pay that much for cleaning. Also, IMO, if a dress is too fragile to hand wash, you shouldn't even be wearing it in the first place. The only reason in my mind to dry clean a...

    1940's ponytails?

    I've seen examples of low, curled ponytails, but they looka bit more like chignons than the high, swinging ponytail that we usually associate with the style. That just really wasn't popular until the 1950s.

    SOLID POTATO SALAD -- the return!

    Totally. Like Julia Lee's "The Spinach Song (I Didn't Like It The First Time)" (1949), which you can listen to at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=024gVOIad6M. However, any double entendre behind "Solid Potato Salad" is still lost on me.

They...

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    I'll probably get them in black so I can give my black Remix a bit of a break this summer, since they're definitely not in great shape and I can't afford new ones.

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    More, from amerimark.com: Love these, though i wish the heel was different: This style is almost exactly like a pair of vintage red leather wedges I have. They come in black and metallic multi too. IMO these would be perfect if the peep toe were smaller.

    When vintage becomes ' fashion' ..

    I got most of my desire to look completely different out of my system during my many years in the goth scene. While I do enjoy distinguishing myself by my appearance, in my apathetic old age, I'm just past being able to care about it *that* much! lol
