What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?
Thanks for the response! Yeah, you're right about the difference in skin colour, I think I got it into my head that I could get at least a rough idea of how it would look by just holding it up to my face... Proved myself wrong didn't I! lol I have a MAC store near me so I think I may go...- HoneysuckleRose

What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?
When you ladies are checking out lipsticks in the shops how do you try out the testers? I only ask because I was in Boots today and saw some girls actually putting the tester lipsticks on their lips... Not something I'd ever even considered doing. I just tend to put some on my hand/finger...- HoneysuckleRose

Dieting practices of women in the 1950s & '40s?
I'd like to think he was but he definitely wasn't. I think I was just about to shoot off for lunch and he made a snide comment in a bitchy tone about how I was probably just going to have a leaf of lettuce or something. I really didn't know what to say as his comment came out of the blue, I just...- HoneysuckleRose

Dieting practices of women in the 1950s & '40s?
I’d be interested to know what sort of advice these old publications give to help thin women put on weight, that’s not something I can imagine magazines today having articles on! I definitely agree with the comments made about the quantity of sugar and salt we unwittingly consume, for...- HoneysuckleRose

Show us your Swirl dresses!
Sizing... I was just wondering if any of you Swirl coinoisseurs have any idea of the sort of sizes Swirls were made in? The ones I've spotted only ever seem to have around a 40" bust which would be miles too big for me! I'm nearer the 32" mark and that's being generous! lol Do you think it...- HoneysuckleRose

Handsome Fellas!
I've recently developed the most intense crush on Yul Brynner... The picture of him in the shirt and tie really gets my pulse racing! It makes me want to howl at the moon in frustration!! Why oh why hasn't someone invented a time machine yet?!- HoneysuckleRose
