Quality shoes for women
The only shoes I own that I can imagine lasting that long is the hiking boots my brother grew out of. I'm on my second pair of leather Winter boots lined with lambswool that has started losing their soles, shedding in the lining, and generally wearing out. That's only on the second year, and...- Nora

WWII Women's Army Field Shoes Reproductions
Looks just like some proper skiing, or hiking boots, just less padded. Would love to have a pair if it wasn't so risky to buy shoes off the web...- Nora

Cleaning vintage powder sifters
I think maybe stitching would be the best bet, as any way of getting it clean without water would be at least as hard on the glue as water...- Nora

do you wash your hair everyday?
I usually Wash about every third day, sometimes every second. Sometimes I drag it out longer. In curls the greasiness doesn't show, so you get away with being lazier.... -
Hair refuses to hold curl even after
How odd... When I started pin curling I had been trying to grow my hair really, really long, and thus treated it very, very carefully. At first it dropped the curl in just a few hours, but as it got more and more damaged the curl lasted longer... With a perm it should, by that logic, stay in... -

Help with nailing an era
You think? Thanks! I've looked a bit at the website, but didn't know of the youtube channel! I'll have a look right away! It might be me just seeing me no matter how I look in a picture that makes it seem so difficult. I have however felt like I had a bit more luck lately, maybe it's just... -
Amusing quotes from people mis-dating you
Oh my! I'm really sorry! I didn't encounter that one, but of course, I could have searched more thoroughly! :o- Nora

Oh, the Stigma of an Astigmatism. . .
I have nothing against a nice pair of glasses! If it suits the face it can do as much as quite a bit of makeup. I actually have a really lovely pair myself. Sadly, I can't really wear them, due to my hyperantimetropia. On top of that my far sighted eye is astigmatic, so me and my optometrist...- Nora

Lipstick in the heel
While I don't think lipstick storage is the best use for it, a secret stash in the heel is a brilliant idea! I could probably stash my emergency money even safer there than in my brassiere.... Nobody would ever think of searching the heel of a shoe! Inside the shoe itself, perhaps, but not the heel!- Nora

Party in my Pants Cloth Pads
Ah! yes, cloth pads are awesome. I could never stand the disposable kind, and my first time using them was a nightmare. I'm very sensitive to things annoying, it took me twelve years to be able to wear woolen anything without issues. (Which becomes troublesome it this cold.) Luckily for me I... -

Chapsticks
Mum got me some Forever living aloe chapstick that actually works as opposed to other stuff... But I usually just look for something with no mineral oils and lots of natural oils.. And *ahem* pretty packaging. I found one from L'occitane that was really nice, if only a tad too firm... -
How many colors have you dyed your hair?
I've never done anything but my natural blondette. It's slightly boring, but it goes nice and golden in the sun and works with all colours of clothing! And there's no worrying about roots. When people see old pictures of me they tend to think I'm lying though, as I was a platinum blonde... -
How do you style your front hair/bangs?
Well, I don't really have bangs in that sense, but what I sometimes do is pin curl it all, and then sort of brush it out, grab a teeny piece of the cluster of curls, push it all towards the scalp, and then just pin it all there. It becomes like a teeny version of that poodle thing Betty Grable... -

Amusing quotes from people mis-dating you
I'm sure you've all had people come up to you and say some things that to them sound quite sensible, but to someone with a bit more of an interest in the matter sounds absolutely hilarious.... The other day at the spring ball at school, I was wearing this lovely bias cut long pink gown I...- Nora

1930s Spiegel Catalog scans
Georgeous! I might be fooling myself, but that has to be quite early in the 30's, no? It's almost as if it's a stage in between the straight up-and-down styles of the 20's and the slinky, slender styles I think of as the 30's...- Nora

Help with nailing an era
Haha, yeah. :p You're probably right, and as you say, most people have no idea anyway. :o I do wonder if grandmother has some tips to share with me, she was a teen back during the exact times I admire... -
Help with nailing an era
Thanks a lot for that guide! I've looked for a lot, but hadn't seen that one before! :) Hehe, yeah, people usually have no idea. I remember turning up to paint this cellar in our church that the youth club is going to use in dad's old blue overalls with a belt, and a headscarf, and getting... -
Help with nailing an era
I guess I'll just have to experiment then. :p (Goodbye moneys) I did however find that just a red, tinted lip balm worked wonderfully, at least with my glasses on! Wohoo! :D
