    How 'vintage' is your name?

    if i read right, my name, Annie, was the 19th most popular name in 1907. LOL. it went downhill from there. in 2006 it was 398th. even in the year i was born it was 388th. that was 1977.

    Have you flown in a vintage aeroplane?

    oooh. i almost got to take a quick trip in a B-17 (which happened to be my favorite thing in the world at the time)...about fifteen years ago. but my mom, sadly, couldn't afford the fifty bucks they were asking for. nonetheless, i was on cloud nine just to be able to go inside! it remains one of...

    Can you remember where you were when you heard Princess Diana had been killed?...etc

    Hmmm...interesting thread... When the Challenger...I dunno, crashed? blew apart? I was getting ready for school that morning. I think I was in third grade...the height of my astronaut phase. It was really tragic, but it fueled my desire to be an astronaut. Diana: This was a very personal...

    I wouldn't mind sharing...it is a definite work in progress...kind of my life long pursuit. Where would the proper place be to post?

    As if we didn't chat about pin curls enough. . .

    okay. so i did a dry set using setting lotion last night. here's the front, brushed and a sad attempt at waves. and this is the back. the curls still flattened. so, i just back combed a little. whaddya think? did it turn out alright? would you look at the hair and think vintage? or...

    As if we didn't chat about pin curls enough. . .

    LADIES!! Thank you so much for the suggestions. I am totally going to try a dry set on day old hair and see if that works. I really like my hair curly...so this HAS to work. :D Ellie Jane - I think that you might be right about me putting too much hair in the roller, though. I'm laughing at...

    kitty t and ellie jane....so...i've tried twice in the last few days to set my hair again in sponge rollers and have been having the WORST luck. either the front is nice and curly and the back is STRAIGHT or the set doesn't take at all and it's still wet the next morning. any ideas? suggestions...

    Plus Size Vintage

    Thanks TexasGirl! I think that is sound advice. I have a few modern things that look vintage-y, but that look good on my body. I'll go with that for awhile until I can (hopefully) reduce to a more common size. LOL. I love b&lu! :)

    Plus Size Vintage

    Hope you don't mind me venting my woes here...I'm just kind of frustrated because I'm so used to instant gratification as far as finding clothes go. I am a modern size 22-26 depending on the brand (48-44-49 as of a month ago). Why are all the 'plus size' vintage and repro clothing so much...

    Vintage Daily Wear

    sheesh. if i could even FIND vintage clothing in my size (huge), you bet i'd be wearing it everyday. there would be nothing better, in my mind. i'm so bored with modern clothing. i feel like a schlub. i guess learning to sew would fix this! LOL.

    kittyT-THANK YOU. so i guess it's just me, then. :p everyone's been mentioning end papers...so, i really need to get them. *sigh* i'm determined to do these pin curls...until then...sponge curlers it is.

    As if we didn't chat about pin curls enough. . .

    it is general knowledge that one can't do a decent pin curl set with layered hair?? i'm having problems with the pincurl itself and with the curl staying in my head. i know the mechanics of the pincurl...how to do it and all that...my hair just has so many friggin layers that it seems to be ten...

    Changing one's look.

    ha. i've been through one boring phase after another. first it was a strict 'no skirt' policy in which i went through a grunge and hip hop phase...but oddly enough, i still wore makeup and made sure my hair was done nicely. i never fit in with the real grunge. LOL. then i went through a phase...

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    This is my first time in the Bar. It's so fun! I've been on here for about a week, sticking to the Powder Room and Beauty threads for the most part (hey, I'm shy!). I'm in Portland. Since the age of 13, I've loved all things from the past. Mostly the 20's, 30's and 40's. I even wrote a novel...
