    The very *pink* of perfection!

    Hehe, from the great 1990 movie, Mermaids. (And polka dots, to boot. :))

    Writers in hats

    A few of my favorite American writers: Dorothy Parker William Saroyan Truman Capote and French André Gide Marguerite Duras Camus, apparently, didn't like hats.

    Finding the Palest Foundation

    Fairest of the fair foundation My skin recently took a turn for the worse. I'm working to get it clear, but in the meantime I've been using foundation to help cover it up. As a super-pale person, this isn't easy. I do have a few suggestions, though, from the inexpensive to the more pricey...

    The very *pink* of perfection!

    As someone who very early in life loved both the word and the color "pink," I love this thread! My contribution: Jantzen's logo features a "diving girl" wearing a deep coral pink/red swimsuit. From the 1930s to the 1960s, it's interesting to see their iconic color gradually get pinker and...

    How tall are you, Ladies?

    I'm 5'6", so I guess right around average. I ended up being a touch shorter than my mom, but I've got the body of someone taller (long torso, big feet, short neck, short thighs, ugh...). I have such enormous feet for my height (10), and have since the age of 10. Because of that and the fact that...

    Golden Era Christmas Tree decorations??

    I'm thinking back to my grandmother's Christmas tree, which everyone used to joke had looked exactly the same for 50+ years. Tinsel is a must -- and cheap -- and I think you can get a very vintage look with the right choice of basic ornament. She used balls, but she also used a lot of a more...

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    I'm not new here, but I have been away for two years (time really flies). I just thought I'd pop in here and reintroduce myself. I'm a grad student in the Boston area, though originally from the Midwest, and more of an admirer/observer of vintage life and style than a participant. Here's hoping...

    MEN'S PAJAMAS and DRESSING GOWNS

    Der Mann -- Nightshirts are really simple to sew, and the materials can be had for very little. Do you know anyone who's handy with a sewing machine?

    New Hairstyling book

    LD - I once saw a black woman at the Gap with a fabulous vintage hairstyle, and I don't believe her hair was relaxed. I think it was braided, however. She had two reverse rolls in the front and then the back was pulled into a snood. It was really cute! How do you wear your hair now? -- PD...

    Oh the Stigma with wearing seamed fully fashioned stockings!

    This is why I like Spanx. Sure you get a bit of control-top action, but in the summer it's so nice to have the bottom half of your legs free and not worry about chafing issues.

    Favorite Authors

    I like your taste for the macabre and grotesque, Undertow. My favorites: Emile Zola - He really tortured his characters. Not that I'm into torture, but it makes for a fascinating read. Colette - Her prose is just genius -- lyrical and heartwrenching. Michael Chabon - Excellent storyteller, and...

    Sinfully rich chocolate ice cream. Procrastination. Sleeping in really late on weekends.
