    Lace it up - The true Corset thread

    I've received my Meschantes corset and am in the process of trying to break it in, so I'm only lacing down 1.5" for now and wearing for short periods of time (2 hours or so). I have a few questions though, for anyone here who's an experienced corset wearer: * What's the best way to keep the...

    Ice Cream !!!!

    A derby teammate's hubby made a salted caramel and a burnt sugar last year. Both were amaaaaazing. There's also an ice cream stand in some town in Mexico, somewhere between Guanajuato and San Miguel Allende (Dolores Hidalgo, maybe?) that will make any flavor ice cream you want. If you go and...

    PHOTO REJUVENATION

    Or at the very least, a certified medical aesthetician. A certified beautician is a different thing - not even close to someone who is medically qualified to perform these procedures. If you do insist on going with her, you need to ask her some important questions like "how long have you been...

    weight gain options, yes you read it right

    Yes those things will work, but I think you probably want to be careful about gaining weight in a healthy manner instead of using foods that can lead to other health problems like high cholesterol. So use it in moderation? One mighty obvious question... have you discussed this with your...

    Gardens vegetable, flower or other?

    You can always send them to me! lol My mom used to pick morels when I was a kid. The university she worked at got them growing like weeds, and she always tried to get to them before the caretakers mowed them all up. She'd bring home plastic grocery bags full of them! Is there any sort of...

    High Waisted Pants & Jeans!

    That's a hard call. My exact measurements right now are 27.5-37.5. The supposed measurements of the size 28s I got are 28-38, and they have a bit of a gap at the waist and are snug through the hip but without being uncomfortable. Those jeans will probably work for you, though it depends on how...

    High Waisted Pants & Jeans!

    Remember back when I had a problem with my Freddie's red blue jeans and they gave me a $20 credit? Well they ended up give me a 20 *pound* credit! My new Freddie's classics (relaxed) got here today and they're fantastic. I love the extra dark, super crisp denim. As is usual the, waist to hip...

    1940s hair styles for school...

    Amy, welcome to the Lounge! Many gals here have full-time careers AND families, which are as or more time consuming than full-time studies. Many of them also manage to do great hairstyles! I, however, am not one of them lol I'm sure you'll get some great advice here though.

    Cucumbers For Your Cocktail

    Miss Bella Hell has a similar cocktail that she makes. I hate gin, but this thing was pretty tasty. I definitely prefer mine with vineagrette though :)

    High Waisted Pants & Jeans!

    Thanks for the link! They're not the same ones, but it's nice to see something similar. I love the ones in Daisy's post - the wider leg and pleats in these newer ones don't do a whole lot for me. If you get these, please let us know how you like them! I'm always wary of something like...

    Show us your hair do's....

    I just bought a 3"+ comb yesterday from the VT Country Store and it seems like it would be perfect! It's long enough to cover one entire side of the head. 3 or 4 should make it all the way around.

    Cucumbers for your eyes...

    Lady Pearl, we all appreciate that you are so eager to tap into the wealth of information here, but you should realize that when you badger people to post, it kind of turns them off. And when you post something on a Friday evening, you just can't expect anyone to reply between 8pm Friday and...

    Elegant jewellery (swaps?)

    Most gals don't have photos of their jewelry laying around. Be patient! If people are going to post anything, you have to give them time to take pictures.

    Show Us Your Aprons!

    I only have 2 aprons - one that is vintage and made of terry cloth, the other a full cotton one that I made as my first sewing project using a pattern. It's not even a repro pattern, but I chose a small, 1930s-ish print, and I do wear this one all the time, as I make a right mess in the kitchen...

    Gardens vegetable, flower or other?

    My poor herbs and nasturtiums are starting to get yellowed leaves. I haven't been using fertilizer and hope that one with a good amount of nitrogen will help. Does anyone have any good recommendations for a liquid or powdered fertilizer? Remember that I'm using self-watering containers, so I...

    Pearls

    I really, really, REALLY want a short strand of HUGE pearls. Barring that, my strand of creamy small pearls that sits just beneath my collar bone is perfect for, well, pretty much any outfit. As Honey Doll noted, they're one of the most versatile and classic pieces of jewelry a girl can own, and...

    Exercise and vintage style

    Totally. I've just accepted that I don't always have to look perfect and vintage all the time, and that sometimes my other plans just make it impossible :)
