Oh gosh Texas Girl...please tell me your lashes are falsies or I might just DIE of jealousy!!! (in case you didn't catch it, your eyelashes are amazing! ;))

Oh, Thank you! I do have pretty long lashes, but I can't lie- I did use some of the Ardell false lashes on the corners. Then I used this Clinique primer that is white and builds up your lashes.

texasgirl,
I saw the pictures of your murder/mystery party over on the The Golden Era section and wanted to tell you that you looked stunning! I LOVE your hair! And the other pictures of the party looked good too. I bet everyone had fun. I had never heard about foundation primer until you mentioned it and I got some and love it. I haven't heard about mascara primer before, but now I've got to try that too!
I'll be spending more of Harry's money. Guess he'll have to do another "bank job"! lol

my first retro hairstyle

Hopefully the picture will show up. This is a photograph of my first time with a retro hairstyle. I went dancing and my bf took a photograph of me trying to fix my stockings. :eek: Sadly this is the only photo I have of my first retro hairstyle.

Hi Goldfish! There's a product called CHI that has a shining spray out, but just a warning......a little goes a long way. There's other companies that have their own shining sprays too. Thank you so much for the compliment. :D

Wow, I really like your hair, RetroBabydoll! It's really creative how you used your rolls -- I've never seen that exact combination, but it has a really vintage look with a modern edge. Great job!!

:eek:fftopic: So where'd you guys go dancing? My husband and I live local to you.

Wow, your hair is gorgeous! Did you do it yourself? I'm so envious!

Out of curiosity and an huge appreciation for the gorgeous styles of the 40s I took a peek at this thread,...(personally I've always felt the women of the 40s looked 110% sexier than they do now due to the fashion, hair and they way in which they hold themselves)....

Kudos to all of you on here! :eusa_clap

As a man, let me more importantly tell those of you that I had seen post things like "I dont go out like this,.." or "I dont think I'd ever wear it this way out in public,..."
Just take the leap, and do it! I keep seeing so many of you post and are unsure of yourselves, but you need to take confidence in yourselves,....there were some REALLY beautiful hair styles here and equally beautiful women wearing them!

Those of you taking notes from history,....good for you! Keep it up,...nothing more eye-catching than a 40s gal! ;) :eusa_clap

I couldn't agree with you more! Going out in a Golden Era-fashioned outfit -only- grants you compliments! Go for it, gals!

Hey Snookie and Audrey Horne.....thank you so much for the compliments. :D My bf and I went to a place I believe is in the Los Angeles area downtown called Bordello's. It used to be an Italian restaurant and was done up all fancy and sometimes Royal Crown Revue plays there. It was the opening night, but sadly we haven't been there in a year.

As for the hairstyle.....It was difficult and took awhile. I even had my bf help me to make sure the back was turning out alright. I like trying out different possibilities with my hair which lead me to pursue beauty school.

Omg!!!! I love how your hair turned out!!! You're hair color is gorgeous! I need to get gutsy and try out pincurls. I just have such thin hair. I'll have to try it out this weekend......I'm scared of what the results might be. :)
