    Out there...

    (Note: Moderators, if this is not okay to post, feel free to delete this.) I was going through my list of favorite sellers on eBay and one of them has a really gorgeous, sexy, feminine dress from the 40's that would be too big for me but is really, really nice! I would love to share this...

    Permanent Make-up?

    OK, so I'm one of the older ladies in the group (!), but I've just recently learned about permanent make-up (other than eyebrows, which I did know of.) Just yesterday I visited a salon owned by a gorgeous young woman of 30 or so. She had permanent lip color! It was beyond beautiful on her...

    Rita's Glamour

    Did anyone else see the Rita Hayworth movie called Covergirl last night on TCM??? A fun flick and a great snapshot of 40's styles. There is a brief close-up shot of a manicure on a woman whose nails are sporting the bare moon look. Also, there is a great scene of Rita getting made up for a...

    Help!!

    Moderators: I don't know where else to ask this question so please put it wherever it should go. Ever since I joined TFL, I have had problems with sending PM's and sometimes with posting. I am not really too swift on a computer so perhaps it's just me; or maybe it has something to do with...

    Stocking sizing?

    I can't believe that I don't remember this from way back, when I wore stockings all the time! But I can't recall how the sizing works. I wear an 8 1/2 shoe (9 in a closed shoe) and I have long legs. For some dim reason I seem to recall buying 10 1/2 Longs--but, then again, maybe not!!! Could...

    Fragrance match??

    Does anyone know of a company that can duplicate a discontinued fragrance (much like the thread that mentioned the company that can do this for lipsticks)? And do you know if the fragrance they copy must be "fresh"? I have an old bottle of a discontinued fragrance that has some perfume still...

    My Best Look Ever...

    After going through 149 pages on eBay today of vintage clothing:eusa_doh: , I was wondering how people would answer this question: Of all the clothes and styles you've ever worn, how would you describe your favorite or best look EVER? Tell us what the outfit looked like, the accessories you...

    Any REALLY dressy restaurants in L.A.???

    Does anyone know of any really nice, DRESSY restaurants in the L.A. or greater Los Angeles area?? We have our 33rd anniversary coming up soon and would like to go somewhere where we can get really dressed to the nines, and at least not look out of place!

    New Year's Resolutions, anyone??

    I was wondering if anyone makes New Year's Resolutions these days? I have undergone 18 surgeries for all kinds of injuries and problems and am currently 6 weeks post-op from spinal fusion (L3, L4, L5. S1). In Spring I have to have the same surgery for my cervical spine. BUT...once that's done...

    Amazing sighting...

    I was in Macy's the other day and the mannequins in the better dresses department had some seriously retro, vintage-style clothing on... AND were shown with matching gloves!!! I felt like I was in a time warp! They looked really nice--slim pencil skirts hitting just at the bottom of the knee...

    What Not to Wear...

    Does anyone ever tune into this program? If so, what are your thoughts on it? I always seem to see the same kind of outfits being promoted--jackets, long, slenderizing pants and very pointy-toed heels. I realize that the somewhat shorter jackets are in all the stores but not everyone looks...

    Lipliner...?

    Does anyone know when lipliners came on the scene? Were they always in lip pencil form? I know that I have used them for at least 35 years, but can't recall if that's when I discovered them or if that's when they first came on the market...

    Eyelashes

    I have a general question for you ladies: Does anyone out there have a problem with their lashes going every which way? I have noticed that for the last two years or so, my eyelashes are either growing out sort of criss-crossing each other or maybe I sleep weird on them or something, but they...

    Flying lessons

    Not sure what forum to ask this question in: I would like to find out approximately how much it costs to take private flying lessons and who to call for them. I thought it would be nice to get these for my husband for a birthday gift when he turns 60 (I have 2 1/2 years to save up!) We are...

    Hair Color...

    Okay, here's the follow-up thread to the Long Hair thread! What's the best way to go with very, very dark brown hair (like darkest coffee) when one is getting OLDER? I have been coloring it for years since I started getting gray (read WHITE!) hairs when I was in my 30's, but my eyebrows are...

    Long Hair/Older Women

    What's your opinion about long hair on "older" women and how old is TOO old for long hair? My husband and I have this debate every now and again and we rarely agree!

    What Do You DO?

    I'm reading lots of threads about appropriate clothing and I am wondering about something. Gentlemen, when you are in the middle of a hands-on project around the house, for example repairing something, aren't you likely to be wearing "messy work" clothes? And, if you need to run to the...

    Role Model?

    Ladies, I'm curious! Who would you say is your most serious role model? I'd love to hear about someone you'd like to emulate, and why.

    ...TO DIE FOR?

    As it is the July 4th weekend, I was thinking about this question: Who or what would you be willing to die for? I can readily answer by naming my husband, my children, my faith--but would I die for a stranger? I'd like to THINK I would. Would I be willing to die to defend freedom? Again...

    There's NO Place Like...

    Now that my husband has retired we are looking at moving somewhere else to live. (Southern California is just too congested!) We enjoy water activities like kayaking and fishing and my husband likes to golf. We'd like to be close enough to city life to get the benefits of it and to be near an...
