    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    I never formally introduced myself... Hi ladies! I'm Heather and I'm from Boston. I currently work downtown at Fidelity Investments planning client meetings and events. Pretty enjoyable. I also dance in Thru the Keyhole Burlesque -Miss Bella Inferno is my stage name (I prefer Bella Hell...

    Vintage/Retro Cosmetic brands?

    Well, I have taken the advice of the Besame cosmetics "teacher" and packed on translucent powder to set my face and my lips, then used a large brush to brush off the extra, and wow, it really does make a difference. My lipstick has been staying on forever (the powder makes it matte of course)...

    "Anti-Aging" Treatments?

    I've heard that Chanel's Age Delay line is nothing short of miraculous. It's about $60 though. La Prairie is the ultimate, but insanely expensive. http://www.laprairie.com/ http://uma.chanel.com/branding.php?chsetdefgnavdiv=103&landing=s&branding=fsoa

    My poor boyfriend has a narrow head and looks weird in a fedora.

    That's a great idea. We just had a 16-hour-round-trip-road-trip to Eastport, ME, so a 6-hour-round-trip isn't so bad!

    Sleepytime Gal

    My lord! If you just need a vintage slip, don't you dare go to one of those sites and pay $90 or even $20! Go to any Goodwill, Salvation Army, Savers, or the like and you can get a vintage Vanity Fair slip for $2. Look for a fabric label, not a paper one, and that's how you'll know it's...

    Your Girdle: Make and Model

    Frederick's carries some very heavy-duty foundations! Their waist cinchers and girdles are definitely sturdy and not just for show. Not all of them anyway. I am very surprised no one has mentioned WhatKatieDid.com: http://www.whatkatiedid.com/ Their site is great. Prices are the usual...

    Fear of the feminine

    Me too, for Massachusetts, though I suspect I'm overdressed just about everywhere. It's never bothered me though, and I never get snotty comments from strangers, just compliments and a lot of "you hair looks great" or "where'd you get that suit/dress/etc?" I love being a girl and I think that...

    My poor boyfriend has a narrow head and looks weird in a fedora.

    Unfortunately I don't have the priveleges to post pictures since I am new. But his head isn't STRANGE! Gosh! It's just not wide.

    He's still my boyfriend, I'll alert the press as soon as I am single and you can get in line... lol

    Vintage/Retro Cosmetic brands?

    Does anyone use Coty as a body powder? I want to get some for after baths (the translucent powder of course) - I think I would prefer it to the plain ol' baby powder.

    Do you have a crush on my boyfriend? Be honest ;) Really though thanks for the help!

    Do you wear vintage in your down time?

    When I am at home lounging, I have not one but two pairs of Daniel Green red satin slippers, and a fabulous 40s Vanity Fair robe that I paid $4 for. Amazing! And a ton of vitnage slips. I have such good luck with slips at thrift stores. I have house dresses that I actually get tailored...

    A solution! That's him in the picture <---

    My poor boyfriend has a narrow head and looks weird in a fedora.

    I can't link to the foolish picture here from work because MySpace is blocked, darn it. Well, if anyone cares to look, he's the drummer from the CobraMatics out of Providence. I am sure there are pictures somewhere. But he is 6'1", about 180 lbs.

    How much do custom ones tend to go for? Several hundred I assume?

    Vintage Bathing Suits

    I had a 40s Jantzen 2-piece that was yellow wool - if you went in the water it was droopy and if you lounged by the pool it was itchy and hot! Ick! I don't like buying the repro suits though because I hate having the same thing on as someone else. There are so many cheap(ish) vintage suits...
