    Girdles, Corsets, and Underpinnings

    I was also wondering how many girdles/belts to have to wear them daily. I just got my first retro dress and I want to take the plunge to get a girdle, but I want to be able to start wearing clothes like this more often and daily eventually. I am so afraid to buy undergarments or really, any...

    Getting a haircut with a diagram in hand?

    Ya, I just want it to be more versatile. I wanted it to be able to look alright on my lazy days where I just want to wake up and blow dry, and I want it to be good for when I want to wear my hair up on my head in curls, and I also wanted to be able to do a pageboy (if I wanted to) or victory...

    Getting a haircut with a diagram in hand?

    Thanks for the clarification :) That makes sense. I am actually less happy with my hair now because I am realizing just how much was cut off. I will probably end up going with another stylist next time or telling him that if I could have it differently, I'd have it longer toward the back. I...

    Getting a haircut with a diagram in hand?

    Ya, I was wondering if that was right or not. Because from what I have read, I've read that you can also do a pageboy style with this haircut,... but I can't imagine doing that with what I have right now. I will see what he does with it tomorrow and hope that it looks good.[huh] It looks fine...

    Getting a haircut with a diagram in hand?

    I got my hair cut today and the guy didn't follow the diagram exactly but he did it pretty close. My hair looks weird down (imo), but I tried rolls and they were much easier to do. I have a slight wave to my hair so I feel like a dog from lady and the tramp. I am pleased :D Tomorrow I am going...

    Getting a haircut with a diagram in hand?

    I have a question for you... when you used the diagram and they cut it like that, when you are lazy with your hair (assuming you ever are), does your hair ever look like a mullet when you don't do anything with it? The guy said that cutting it that short will give the top a lot of volume and I...

    Getting a haircut with a diagram in hand?

    That is one of the diagrams that I have. I also have the Middy Plus diagram here http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2264/1814299837_0959dc8484_o.jpg I was thinking of getting either one but I am not sure yet which I would be happier with. Thanks for letting me know about Lock of Love. I...

    Bandanas: Okay, or dorky?

    I think bandanas are so cool to wear! I like to, but I find that my hair slips out a lot throughout the day, so I am not sure I wear it right. But I do have to mention that whenever I do my hair up like that, I just have to expect people to say something or look at me funny. It comes with...

    Getting a haircut with a diagram in hand?

    Thanks ladies :) I plan on getting my hair cut next month when I get paid again. I do want to donate my excess hair to locks of love if it is long enough for that. I wanted to do a Rita Hayworth length, but I'm thinking I may go a bit shorter. Maybe like Lana Turner. I've thought about a...

    Getting a haircut with a diagram in hand?

    So, ladies! I am in the need of some advice here! I have a haircutting diagram I want to take with me to a hairdresser, but I don't know where to go. I never really get my haircut and when I do, i go with my boyfriend to his barber to get my hair trimmed. My hair is so long now that I need to...

    I LOVE my DivaCup! Not for guys...

    I use it too, and I love it. I can't imagine life without it now. I hardly ever have cramps at all anymore and I only have to empty it twice a day. 32 dollars for one cup that lasts a lifetime! The fact that I am not emptying my menstrual trash continually into a landfill is definitely a plus...

    How to tie a ponytail without elastic?

    Thanks HT, I tried it with some fine cotton yarn I had, and it did keep a ponytail, but it wasn't able to stay long, nor very high up on my head. My guess is that my hair is too slick (and maybe too long?). I will try it again with rope or some other material soon. It does seem like it could...

    How to tie a ponytail without elastic?

    Thanks for the suggestions. I know the main reason that my hair breaks is due to putting it up when wet. I never give myself the time of day to really fuss with my hair much. Lately I have been trying to blow dry it first. I will try using rope soon to see how well that works. Hose too. That...

    How to tie a ponytail without elastic?

    This may seem ridiculous a post for this place, but I was so curious about it and don't know who else to ask! Forgive me if it's been answered or is so obvious. I have a lot of really fine hair, and I have tried tying my hair with ribbon, but it consistently falls out. I use elastic all the...

    Pattern swap starts here!!

    I need to get in on this soon. I haven't been around here for a while because I went off on obsessive mode into animation, art and knitting, so now I need to refocus my attention on sewing! Don't be surprised if someone gets a PM from me ;)

    Valentine's Day Plans

    We will probably end up celebrating the day before Valentine's Day, as my boyfriend doesn't like crowds of people, and he won't really be home much on Valentine's Day. We will go out to see the musical RENT, but other than that, I don't know the plans. I am making some homemade sweets :D

    What Are You Reading
