About hairspray existing in the 1940s: the polymer product itself existed as a resin applied to hair, but wasn't canned until the 50s. More on that in this article. It was a fun read.

Adding another update. I'd like to add the brands Rimmel and DNM here, because they've become my favorites. They're budget friendly and work very well if you fill in with matte lip liner first. Remember that oils, creams, and greasy food will remove it, because emollients remove makeup. Clear...

I don't mean to necro, but I was checking up on this thread since I was considering doing my own modified middy and forgot a lot about the process. I've noticed that images previously hosted by CDot's photobucket no longer show up. My printer friendly PDF is still up, and I'll try to keep it...

Had a guy tell me (offsite) tell me my display photo is off-putting. Guess it's doing its job!

When I get one, I shall. :^)

Ugh... food baby.

Pumpkin spices vs actual pumpkin flavor, very different. And, well, the idea of heavy amounts of cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, and allspice are what turn me off. In a cigar, maybe lighter amounts, with a creamy flavor would be nice. Mix in cloves, and an all over earthy/cocoa, that would be a...

I may be a woman, but I refuse to have any cigar be pumpkin spice flavored. Heck, I don't even like my coffee pumpkin spice flavored. That just sounds like an abomination, haha.
