    Lovely! I have been browsing vintage patterns lately (due to binge-watching Call the Midwife!) and this post is most timely.

    anyone wear grey hair?

    Thoroughly enjoyed going through this thread to hear how ladies have been dealing with the grayness of life, ha. I haven't been on these forums in a long time - oh what I've missed! In my absence, I have gone to probably 60% gray at age 45. The streaks I have are white and I LOVE THEM. It makes...

    The Hair Tutorials thread

    Thanks, katiesparkles. I watch her tutorials all the time and she posted her source for them not that long ago. It's on my list of things to buy when I get around to it.

    The Hair Tutorials thread

    I get ringlet-like curls if I roll very tightly with the hair band method too, and that's not all that far from my natural curl so it makes for tough no-frizz styling because of that (I suspect). For harder-to-curl hair, it seems to work very well though. I've thought several times I'd be...

    Before you brushed out the curls, were they smaller in size than your usual sets? I ask because it seems like smaller curls after unrolling = more frizz for a lot of people, myself included.

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    I'm with you on this. We need to get over judgment of people showing bodies that we don't find pleasing. Who the hell are we to tell them they can't wear this or that? If the 80 year old wants to wear that dress, right on.

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    When I lived in the UK years ago, I was struck at how different the scene was compared to the U.S. - men not allowed in without a shirt and collar, things like that? Eh, ok. They can deny who they want to. She should hang out at a U.S. military base - they won't turn her away. I saw plenty of...

    What about us naturally curly girls?

    Thank you - I took the Tierney book with me to a stylish I trusted and asked her to give me a middy cut. She didn't blink an eye, said these are the kinds of diagrams they give to stylists at hair shows, and gave me a great cut. She was a little apprehensive about styling it afterward, but I...

    Really pretty look - I love the bang wave you have here. And black/dark hair really needs light shining on it to capture anything more than a silhouette of it. Another tip is to stand in front of something the same tone or even darker so that the camera's light meter doesn't have to 'settle' for...

    Your hair looks FABULOUS in this shot. I am so envious of that wave you've got in your bangs. Love it. Do you have any natural curl in your hair? I cannot remember if you've said already, so please excuse.

    What about us naturally curly girls?

    Countrybumpkin, I haven't used perm rods for an overnight set - afraid I won't be able to sleep on them. I get much better frizz calming when I use something for end papers too. I also get a lot of frizz with pin curl sets - I suspect I'm making them too small though, but haven't had time to...

    High Waisted Pants & Jeans!

    I've been looking for an affordable pair of these for years. No luck yet, and to make it worse, I need plus-size. If you find a link, please do post it.

    LOVE the color! Beautiful and you wear it well. How long will it be this vibrant, I wonder. It's gorgeous.

    Cold Cream- Brands and advice!

    I know some people use it as such, and it certainly works well like that. I've tried the Mexican made brand and the one from Germany. I prefer the Germany made a little more, but it's a great cream all around. I've never used it for a consistent length of time in order to know how well it...

    Cold Cream- Brands and advice!

    I'm not sure what exactly cold cream can be used for, but I'm most familiar with it as a makeup remover and skin treatment. My grandmother used it religiously. A water-free skin protectant for cold weather sounds more like a petroleum jelly (Vaseline).

    Cold Cream- Brands and advice!

    Doesn't seem to be bad from the other sources I've found. It's a wax/parrafin like many others used in cosmetics. http://www.cosmeticsinfo.org/ingredient_details.php?ingredient_id=448
