REELS & RIVALS: Sisters in Silent Film
Hi guys! Been ages, but I thought you might be interested in my book about the silent film era. Female silent film stars possessed beauty, persistence, flair, and probably a sister in the business. These extraordinary women were more than just faces on a screen; they were complex and...- Avalon

Where are the pleated skirts hiding?!
I am having a devil of a time trying to find the simplest (or so I thought) thing: a black pleated skirt. I've looked high and low, both on and offline, and have come up either empty or with horrid tarty micromini "clubwear". :confused: If you ladies know of where I can find one - doesn't...- Avalon

1920s and early 30s repro?
So here's the thing. While I'm sure I could find a few 20s-inspired pieces in mainstream stores due to the latest trend (thank you Miss 1929 for pointing that out! ;) ), do you ladies know of any vintage-repro stores online that include this era? I'm having a devil of a time finding anything...- Avalon

1920s One-Hour Dress
Does anyone have the pattern for this? I've seen it online (with 17 variations! ;) ), and it looks like just the thing for me to cut my newbie teeth on. Cash is tight for me, but I'd be happy to pay postage if anyone could make a copy. Thanks! :)- Avalon

And now, a word FOR a sponsor
FL mods, please let me know if this is inappropriate and I'll remove it ASAP. Does anyone know of any NYC / Long Island companies willing to sponsor someone for an employment visa? I've asked everywhere, and my sweetie and I have researched until our ears / fingers have fallen off. He's...- Avalon

Pro-Curler
I'm lucky enough to have one of these from my grandmother - it's an "automatic" pin curler. (Pic & info courtesy eBay) My question is, have any of you ladies tried one, and if so, how did it work? For me it's excellent for making curls, but when I try to wind it with a bobby pin (what it...
