Try Sally's if they have a location in the Ottawa area--I've found the Babyliss/Jilbere 40-stick set here at their T.O. locations.

Inky you look incredible, and you sure ain't kidding about Dave Wakeling!!! I'd twist and crawl to him anytime!

At Sally's. The nearest one to downtown is a bit of a schlep on St. Clair west of Keele, and there are other locations further afield in Etobicoke and Scarborough. I think I've also seen them at the Toronto Beauty & Barber Supply shop at the corner of Bay and Dundas, and Cosmetic World at 623...

As far as I can tell, the Aussie Vidal Sassoon brand is merely Conair Australia by any other name...so buy with confidence! http://www.stylegoddess.com.au/contact.htm http://www.toolsofsassoon.com/home.html

Thanks for the head's-up on Revlon Matte, Miss Neecerie. I thought it might take a while for these to show up here (as is usually the case with new products), but the display was up at my local Shopper's Drug Mart today, and I very well may have been the first chick to take a crack at it. I...

Yeah, I thought I recognized you in one of her Flickr photos! And when you mentioned WW, I figured it might have been due to her prompting. I'm glad y'all enjoyed the link.

THEE most weight-loss-inspirational thingy I've come across lately is this blog (I won't type the title as it's got a rude word in it). Some of you NYC gals may know this woman; I've never met her but when I still lived back home I used to see her around all the time. She was stunning even...

Here's how the Indonesian women handle it.

Titles that are more along historical lines include: Inventing Beauty: A History of the Innovations That Have Made Us Beautiful, by Teresa Riordan Hope in a Jar: The Making of America's Beauty Culture by Kathy Peiss War Paint: Madame Helena Rubinstein and Miss Elizabeth Arden, Their...

Another Remington Rag Rave Count me in on the kudos for Remington Rag Rollers! I've been wanting to try them for a long time, but never came across them up here and didn't feel like paying exorbitant eBay shipping on something that might not work. Imagine my surprise when they turned up at a...

Click here for images of a dungaree dolly doing her vacuuming in jeans.

It's a small book (about 6 inches by 5 inches), and it's more of a compendium of midcentury cosmetics ads than a history of midcentury cosmetics. It's cute, but the ads in it are reproduced in such a tiny manner that it's hard to read their text.

Thanks Inky, and right back atcha on the husband-adorableness factor--you two must look amazing together I'm sure! And yay for "nearly-intergenerational" marriages--there's a 14-year difference in mine as well, though naturally I was the one who got cradle-robbed...
