    Vanishing cream and cold cream?

    I know I'm (very) late responding, but I came across this online and I think the mystery is solved at last. http://cosmeticsandskin.com/aba/vanishing-cream.php

    What, to you, is glamour/glamorous?

    I agree that very few modern women are glamorous, but I think Carolina Herrera embodies the look of timeless, elegant glamour. I base this only on appearance since I'm not familiar with her personal life, but she always looks so put together and ladylike to me.

    Weight loss options

    You may want to look at AdoraBatBrat's blog. If you search Montignac, you can see all her recipes and hints. This is actually how I found out about it in the first place. If it works for a bony model with 2 kids, I figured it would work for anyone!

    Weight loss options

    I'm so glad this thread was revived, as I am ecstatic about my new diet/weight loss. I started at 150 lbs, and then it took me a full year of low calorie dieting and exercising 5-6 days a week to drop to 138 lbs. Then I began eating according to the Montignac Method on July 5, and when I weighed...

    Dressing Vintage so as not to Garner Attention

    I think the key is to go with more classic looks. A 1940s cut dress in a plain color is not at all out of place in most settings, whereas the same dress in red and white polka dot is much more obviously "vintage" to people, and more likely to draw attention. Same with hair. A classic pageboy is...

    Darker Vintage looks

    Another gal that comes to mind is Jennifer Tilly in the movie "Bound." The overall effect isn't 100% vintage, but I think it comes off as very sexy, and like a modern take on the 1920s vamp. It's tough to find good pictures online (most of them are more, ahem, "adult" than should be posted...

    Red hair and olive skin?

    My best girlfriend has an olive-y tone to her skin, and always wears her hair red. The one thing I have noticed is that the raisin or plum tones look especially flattering. I think most shades of red could be pretty, but I might suggest steering clear of orange tones. Very few people can...

    Silly Lipstick Question

    For day wear, I use a Clinique long last lipstick with a lipliner around the edges. I apply it in the A.M. before work, and I can get through a full day of talking on the phone, drink my breakfast smoothie, and eat my lunch. I usually just need to touch up the corners in the afternoon. I can...

    Darker Vintage looks

    Woohoo! Another vampy pale girl! I personally think a great starting point is movies/TV with female villians or oddball characters. That will give you a good idea of how to mix beauty of the past with a kookier spookier look. You might begin with Carol Borland, Gloria Holden, Theda Bara or even...

    What about us naturally curly girls?

    Hey deleteduser, sorry you're having what sounds like a perma-bad-hair-day. :( Mine really seems to be mellowing out as it gets longer, but I will offer what advice I can. If your hair is still damaged, maybe try using some heavier conditioner or a really thick hair masque to start with. If I...

    So, do you wear Sunscreen?

    I do wear sunscreen every day, even if the only time I will see the sun is during my drive to work. I also keep my arms and legs covered at all times, and usually wear a broad brimmed hat if I will actually spend time outdoors. I even go so far as to apply sunscreen to myself under any thin...

    Tim Burton and the Addams Family

    I am tickled pink by this news. I love everything Addams Family, with the exception being the Addams Family Reunion movie. Blech. :p I think that Tim Burton has a great way of making even the most macabe characters very relatable. This could be a great way to make the drawings and animations...

    New movie/show - Vintage Style

    Long post ahead - sorry! (Can't say I didn't warn you.) lol Sometimes I find myself watching a newer TV show or movie, set in current time, and there is a character with great vintage style. These characters are not 100% period accurate, but they are still a fun opportunity to see a modern...

    What's on Top - Bras, panties, garter belts, slips, & stockings

    Have any of you gorgeous gals seen a lingerie line called Luleh? I'm not sure if it's new - I just saw it at Macy's yesterday, but I don't get out shopping much... Anyway, it's absolutely gorgeous and looks pretty functional too. There are long-line bras, OBGs, waist cinchers, merry widows, full...

    What about us naturally curly girls?

    My hair is about to the bottom of my shoulder blades, and it usually takes almost a full day to dry completely. The funny part is that when it finally is dry, I wet it down it with a spray bottle of water every morning to refresh the natural curl anyway. :eusa_doh: Or if I have set some curls...

    VintageGoth?

    I found that every part of the goth/alternative scene kept bringing me back to vintage. I watched Dracula, and then I just started on every black and white horror movie I could. Everyone was so classy and glamorous. I still judge every garment I purchase by asking myself, "Would Countess Marya...

    What about us naturally curly girls?

    I have naturally curly hair that is pretty similar to the pic in the link you posted, but my curls are a little smaller in diameter. I do have a few suggestions though. First, at least for daily casual wear, I wouldn't worry too much about perfection. If your natural curls are at at all uniform...
