I've been growing my hair out from a pixie since last June. It's finally getting long enough to do stuff with. I tried rag curls last week and had a major, unruly mess that I had to wash out. This week I decided to try pin curls. I'm pretty happy with how my first attempt turned out:

The other day I was at an open house and I was wearing a 40s inspired outfit and of course it was not complete without the red lipstick ;) I past by an older lady and smiled at her and the look in her eyes said it all. She had a huge smile on her face, I could just see her reminiscing about...

I'm so glad I found this thread! I started knitting last winter and just picked it up again and this has really encouraged me to work harder and finish my scarf :) everything looks so lovely!

That's soo sweet!!

WOW!! I just found this link and it is amazing! Thank you so much for posting this!!

I wore my hair in rag curls with a bandana to the fireworks on the 4th. I figured it would be better than getting weird looks. One morning, I went through the drive-thru at Tim Hortons with my hair in rag curls and an old man was staring at me through the window with the most...

The Pianist is one of my favorite movies. What he lived through was absolutely horrifying; he was such a brave person.

My all time favorite is the P-51 Mustang! Here's some links to the pictures I took at the Gathering of Mustangs and Legends Airshow in Columbus: http://picasaweb.google.com/rachelwilliard/RickenbackerAirShow http://picasaweb.google.com/rachelwilliard/RickenbackerAirShow2
