Caruso steam rollers
I don't have much experience with this, but could you possibly order a travel adaptor to use with them in your outlet? Also, if you have an old set that is still working, I would try to keep using that as long as possible. I had an old pink & grey set that worked great for 10 years, but I... -
Dumb question about red hair!
Not sure if you have the same brands there or not, but I have had good results in the past with L'Oreal's Mega Reds (they now have a Mega Reds line specifically for use on dark hair but I have not tried it) and Feria lines. I also have medium to dark brown hair and I used to like the real... -
Elderly Reactions To Vintage
When I went to my grandfather's funeral last fall, my great aunts said I looked so nice. one of them said my hair rminded her of Lana Turner. At the service, a guy (don't remember who) commented that it was nice to see a lady wearing a hat in church again. On the same trip, my grandma from the...- I<3Tiki

To wax or not to wax ????
Personally, I'm a fan of Veet or Nair for the bikini area but I have to leave it on for about 10-15 minutes (even though I think you're only supposed to leave it on for 4 - 6 min). I have burned myself quite a few times in the past, too, but I think I may have built up a tolerance to it as it... -
Hair Styles for hot humid weather?
My go-to styles for those days are either a ponytail, a snood, or those bow barrette's that have the bun nets on the bottom of them. If you want to put the effort in, you could also do some rolls in the front with either the snood or the barrette, but I usually just do my bangs - either pinned... -

Extremely Oily Skin
I, too, can relate and I have found a really great product. However, the Etsy shop that sells it seems to be on hiatus at the moment. :( But I did convo her & she said she is coming back. Anyway, when/if she does (and I really hope it's when), the shop is called AyurvedicAlternative & the... -
Ladies, what scents do you like on your men?
My husband uses the new old spice - he was lured in back when Bruce Campbell was doing the commercials :) I do like the new scents, though. But he only uses the body wash & the deodorant - no cologne / body spray - so it's not too potent. On the old Old Spice, though, I do have a bad...- I<3Tiki

Show us what you've made!
HAHA! :) Those look almost just like the pants that I had to wear when I worked in Guest Services at Universal Studios Orlando a few years ago - same color and everything (actually, I think mine might have had an even lower crotch if you can believe it) except I don't think those pants were...- I<3Tiki

The Job Interview- how vintage can you go?
Congratulations on your 2nd interview Leah! Although I have only worked as an Administrative Assistant for a few years - not an Executive Assistant - for my 2nd interviews, I usually wear a nice skirt (a pencil skirt, A-line, or one with a little more flare at the hem - I'm not really sure what...- I<3Tiki

Beauty accidents...
Well, here are my additions to the list: I decided to get my eyebrows waxed for the very first time the day of or before my 21st birthday. I went to a salon to have it done, but it went terribly wrong. I don't know if the wax took my skin with it or if she used something else and it gave me... -

Vintage Makeup How-To's
Although not wax, a few years ago, Revlon made a product called "Lash Jewels", which was kinda the same principle except that it was a clear gel that came in an applicator. Since it was a gel instead, it looked more like little crystals or water droplets. You could apply it by dripping drops... -
What's your favourite Red Hair colour?
Man, looking at everyone's beautiful pictures sure does make me miss my red hair, too :( but with the color fade, I just had to color it too often and it damaged my hair too much to keep it up. I could only grow it to about my shoulders when I kept it red (it's down to the middle of my back... -
New Ladies and Gents Step Forward
Hello, everyone! :) Of, course, I'm new here, too. I don't even remember what I was looking for when I stumbled across this site, but as I love all sorts of fashion, makeup, hair, etc. as well as old movies and such, I decided to join. I had always wondered how ladies used to create those...- I<3Tiki

Sponge rollers---your looks and suggestions?
I, too, have long hair that won't dry by morning in standard sponge rollers (which I hated sleeping in as a kid anyway). My absolute favorite curlers are the Richard Caruso Molecular Curlers. They are kind of like a combination between sponge rollers and hot rollers but they use steam instead...
