RIP Cyd Charisse
One of my favourite Golden Age actresses who passed away yesterday (17/06)

As a tribute, here are two classic Charisse moments:
The Band Waggon (with Fred Astaire)
Singin' In The Rain (with Gene Kelly)
Not in the slightest, and I have an uncontrollable tendency to get into arguments with people about it. For example, a friend of mine didn't want her boyfriend to buy her a watch for her birthday because it meant their "time would run out." I told her to stop being ridiculous and take the damn...
I agree with Brad Bowers about creating your own opportunites - the career you want never just falls into your lap. Why not take inspiration from the people here at the lounge you mentioned in your post, and maybe a few others here who may be in a 'vintage' career. I thought Matt Deckard and...
Thanks for the foundation tip (using the smaller brush under eyes) I would never have thought of that! You look beautiful by the way - your eyebrows are amazing!
Another natural curly girl here! I blow-dry mine straight using a large round brush with natural bristles and use a curling iron to do my pincurls. I find the heat from the iron smooths out the frizz a bit, but that could be just my weird hair ;)
I don't think anyone has a problem with flip flops per say, it's just that flip flops are beach shoes, not general casual shoes, and therefore should be worn on the beach/seaside area. My pet peeves, in no particular order:
1. Leggings. I had to wear these as a child in the 80's and I hated...
William Burroughs: just fantastically weird and shocking
J.D. Salinger: Catcher In The Rye was the first 'proper' book I read and loved
Jean Cocteau: sadly I don't have enough French to read the originals, but his storytelling is unparalleled even in translation
Vladmir Nabakov: I still find...
I have no regard for SJPs (or Carries) style whatsoever, and really don't understand what all the fuss is about. And she really doesn't have the features to compete with a hat like that. Now Charlotte on the other hand... There's a wardrobe I love to raid!
A couple of biographies at the moment:
Lee Miller by Carolyn Burke
The Josephine Baker Story by Ean Wood
Mae West - It Ain't No Sin by Simon Louvish
and one autobiography:
My Last Breath by Luis Bunuel
Should keep me busy! lol
Wow, all those ads are really impressive! I especially like the Girls Gone Wild one... hehe lol
That Cartier one could have easily been an actual vintage ad though, because Cartier diamonds aren't exactly a 'modern product'!
Dolly you are too cute!
I like Crimson by Natural Collection, it's a nice bright red and not drying at all. I usually blot it, lock it on with Lipcoate and then put a red Natural Collection gloss over the top. Then I need only top up the gloss and the lipstick stays put all night. I used to...
