    Today I am a "Ma'am"

    I've gotten a "madame" once in a high-end clothing store. :D

    Dare I start a doll thread?

    I wish I could get my laptop to accept my camera's memory card, else I'd show you pictures of my collection. Oh well. I've recently rekindled my interest in collecting Barbies. More specifically, the classics. Originals are waaaaay out of my price range, so I'm sticking to reproductions...

    The value of Lady's friendship

    I've had only 3 friendships over my lifetime strong enough to call "sister," but all have faded/moved away and all I'm left with are memories. I don't really have any super-close girlfriends now. Sure, I have girl friends, but no one I truly share a bond with.

    Show us your vintage hats!

    When I visited my mom in Colorado last month, I got a job at a local antiques/curiosities shop to earn some pocket money. I struck up a real friendship with the woman who owned it, and she said she'd send me these. She had them up for sale in her shop and on ebay, but she said she'd rather...

    ~Recreating Hair styles of the 1940s~

    The last time I got mine styled, I got layers, but that was months ago. They're pretty uneven now.

    Very interesting. I could never make something that detailed. :)

    ~Recreating Hair styles of the 1940s~

    Can your hair be too long? Mine's about mid-back (think where the bra hooks rest), and I can't get it to do anything. No bangs/fringe. I've got rollers and various types of styling products, but all I can get are elongated Shirley Temple ringlets.

    Defining ladies style and fashions your take.

    I'm stuck between 40's and 50's. The 50's were so beautiful, but there's something about the WWII-era fashion and lifestyle that sucks me right in. But I'm a fan of practically every decade of the 1900's. Some days, I'll be all prim and proper in stockings and a nice hat, and others, I'll...

    Video games based in the golden era

    Stubbs the Zombie (released 2006) is set in 1959. It's a really goofy game, with the art decoration being styled after the 50's vision of the future. Check it out if you need a laugh.

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    Trust me on this, come graduation, you'd rather be "that girl who wore really cool clothing" than just another face in the crowd, even if you wear what's popular now. There's always a few of "those" kids like yourself at every high school nowadays, and are usually very highly regarded and...

    Nutty Neighbors

    In the house upstate I just moved from, we had a neighbor who was a few cards short of a deck. She called us in a frenzy one night during a power outage during a real nasty storm, asking if she needed to open a window or door. I told her no, not unless she wanted an indoor pool, and asked why...

    Life as it was lived then

    I've always found my grandmother's stories fascinating and slightly wonderful about how it just wasn't done for lady to leave the house without a hat and/or gloves; not due to some damning social or religious requirement, but simply for the elegance and femininity that was so valued back in...

    Did I run into a Lounger tonight?

    I hate for my first post to be a "omg if this is not the right place mods plz move it thx" threads, but I honestly couldn't decide where to put it. Moving on. Tonight, 8/6, I was with friends at the local Irish pub/restaurant when a young woman came in with her beau, she dressed in a...
