    Vintage Men's and Wmoen's Jewelry

    There are quite a few folks here who would probably be interested. But in all honesty, you'll have more luck if you post photos of the items here in this thread. I think a lot of folks may not be willing to email a brand new member from private email accounts.

    The Cleaning Clothes (vintage or other) Thread

    A quick application won't do squat. At the very least, you need to soak overnight, in the warmest water the fabric can tolerate. Unless the fabric has some serious degradation, Oxyclean won't destroy your vintage stuff - unless you soak multiple items together and one of them isn't colorfast...

    What Are You Reading

    Definitely read it in French. The language is simple too, so it's still easy if you've let your French rot away unused for 10 years. I also highly recommend Camus' "Exile and the Kingdom", which is a great collection of short stories.

    How often do you "set" your hair?

    Actually, I don't see this at all. The more time your hands spend on and around your scalp, the more of the natural oils from your hands deposit into your hair. I think I read somewhere that such overbrushing is actually not good for your hair and can stress the hair shaft. Edit: from...

    How long did you soak them for?

    Oil Cleansing Method

    I absolutely don't wash mine after every use. I rinse it out in very, very hot water and use it for about a week before I wash it.

    I'm afraid I just won't be able to fill that out as well as you do! What's it made of, jersey?

    Stretching It By Far

    Cruise control is great. NOTE: do NOT use cruise control in the rain or on wet roads. It is *extremely* dangerous!

    Oil Cleansing Method

    You have to go to a natural foods store like Whole Foods to find it. . I wouldn't use a pre-mixed oil. You need to be able to mix an oil formulation that's right for your skin and your needs.

    How often do you "set" your hair?

    I love the day after a set - looks best in a ponytail then. Perfect for jeans and a tshirt :)

    How often do you "set" your hair?

    I can't imagine doing a hair set between tasks, especially if setting lotion was used. That said, I paint my nails at work. 2 coats - and I type all day long!

    Mayday for a Bartender!

    Yep, this is what I did. My old account died with that server and my friend never reinstated mail services after that. I just never bothered to change my address :)

    How often do you "set" your hair?

    Yeah, I mean, no set is going to hold through a night of friction with your pillowcase and tossing and turning. Even just tying a scarf around your hair before you go to bed will help keep a lot of the curl in.

    Under Eyes?

    Mackenzie, I would avoid hemorroid cream. Do you really want to put something like that around your delicate eye skin? Try cucumbers. Also, there are really a lot of anti-puffiness eye creams. DHC makes a good one, as does Burt's Bees. Ladies, as for concealer, note that many makeup...

    Can you model the DvF dress? Also, I'm potentially interested in the cherry print blouse. Do you have a bust measurement on that one?

    Can you help me date this item??

    I've also had good luck hanging it in the bathroom when I'm taking a hot shower.

    Can you help me date this item??

    Many Rowenta brand irons can do vertical steam shots (meaning you can steam an item that's hanging up). Rowenta irons produce a ton of steam and are the best for regular pressing as well (especially if you do sewing). At least over here, you can get a decent one for about $70.

    Will Work For Food - Bartering!

    Well there's a yahoogroup called freecycle, usually one for most major cities. Many people who get something for free from the group play it forward and return by posting something of their own to the group in return.

    Will Work For Food - Bartering!

    I'd just like to state for the record that I will gladly bake cookies in exchange for booze.
