    Aveda has a line of plant-based shampoos and conditioners that are designed to highlight naturally occurring hair colours or revitalize dyed hair in between salon visits. A few weeks ago, I bought the Madder Root shampoo and conditioner that contain madder root (duh), cherry bark, and henna...

    Hello darling Cherie...lets see your best Evening Wear

    I adore evening wear, even though I'm a bit of a tomboy :o When I get dressed up I usually go in for the poofy-skirted New Look dress, but I love this wiggle dress to bits. It makes me look about 4 feet tall, but I forgive it because it makes me look like I actually have a decent chest lol...

    Disney Rejection Letter - 1938

    This was on Boing Boing yesterday: from Boing Boing: Kevin's grandmother received this rejection letter from Walt Disney Productions in 1938, telling her that she wasn't welcome at animator training school because she was a girl. The sting seems to have been mitigated somewhat by the...

    3:10 to Yuma

    I found out today that a remake of 3:10 to Yuma is coming out this year. The original cast included Glenn Ford, Van Heflin, and one of my favourite character actors, Henry Jones. I think it has a High Noon kind of feel to it. It seems like so few westerns are made nowadays... I'm excited to...

    50s Housewife Tarot Cards

    I found these cards via Boing Boing just now, and I love them. I've had a really nasty couple of days and these perked me up a little. Here's two of the cards (the Hermit and the Page of Wands): And here's a link to the website: Housewives Tarot Takes a while to load, but it's cute...

    Rudeness

    Is it just me or are people getting... ruder? I swear I'm no crotchety old lady (though crotchety old ladies usually have good manners) but the past few weeks I think I've noticed people displaying a total disregard for common courtesy! I bought my first brand new car less than a year...

From what I can gather from reading the letters this is what happened: President Truman and Congressman McDonough got into an exchange over something Truman said about the...

    Face Powder Face Off

    Has anyone used both Coty Airspun and Besame's translucent powders? If so, which did you like better? (Or is there a super-powder I'm unaware of?) As it is, I moisturize, then use a brush with Besame's bisque souffle. I know some people think it's too heavy, but when I use the brush it...

    Oh, it's the UPS song...

    This has always been a pet peeve of mine... Yeah, it's sad that some people are only being exposed to new things through TV commercials. You'd think Audrey would be a big enough icon by now, but go figure. It drives me batty, though, when advertisers use inappropriate songs in their...
