    What are you wearing today??

    Ooh, lovely! We were selling a gorgeous 50's repro Betsey Johnson dress at my work recently, but it was an awkward cut for my frame, sadly.

    Ideal bodies for the eras

    Hahaha, I've gotten vintage dresses stuck over my boobs so many times!! The weird thing is, I'm only a B cup! [huh] I've learned NOT to go shopping for vintage dresses alone. Several times, I have had to poke my head out of the dressing room (or bathroom) of the shop and beg any random...

    Ideal bodies for the eras

    Yeah, I didn't think my proportions were weird until I started trying on those darn wiggle dresses! My mom, sister and I all have similar proportions in the hip area -- narrow hips at the bone, and big booties. My grandma had it too, haha! In my costuming class, the butt measurement was the...

    How to get pale, luminous skin?

    Here's a really helpful link that answers a lot of questions about sunscreen. Hope it helps! http://pediatrics.about.com/od/sunscreen/a/sunscreen_myths.htm I learned a lot about different sunscreens when I got my tattoo, since it's in a pretty conspicuous place. ;) I use a broad...

    How to get pale, luminous skin?

    SPF beyond 15 means nothing -- it just means that you supposedly don't have to reapply it as often. Bring your bottle with you and reapply often! Is it broad spectrum protection?

    Vintage Bathing Suits

    Ooh, I have a vintage Jantzen just like this one, only without the front buttons!

    Ideal bodies for the eras

    My weight has been fluctuating terribly lately due to stress! I always accomodate my changing figure with the clothes I wear, so I don't look like I'm swimming in fabric when I lose a few pounds. Some girls gain weight when they're stressed; I revert to a prepubescent stick figure. Oyy...

    1930's vintage.

    Well-said! Not everyone here dresses 100% period-correct everyday (*ahem*), though a lot of us would know how if we wanted to. What's more important is developing your own, unique style, and whether or not it's all or part-vintage (or vintage-inspired) is up to you! Experiment. Thrift...

    Turbans

    I love the look of turbans, but I have never worn one! If I get my hands on a nice one, I would like to wear it with my vintage, Carmen Miranda fruit basket earrings. :)

    'gaudy' eBay Photos?

    Sure, the outfit is bold, and not in everyone's taste. However, I don't see what the model did to solicit such comments about her body, if we're only talking about the outfit she was dressed in. Maybe it just rubs me the wrong way because I have been an "Ebay/Etsy model" for a few nice...

    Washing one's face with beauty soap

    Agreed! Not everyone reacts to the ingredients in commercial soaps, but my skin does. It's very sensitive. I've used Dr. Bronners liquid soap at home, but not on my body! I can imagine their bar soap is nice, though, since it has a good, vegetable glycerin base. The closest I come to...

    'gaudy' eBay Photos?

    I would like to see it alone on either a mannequin or a model wearing minimal makeup and in simple, head-on poses. That's just for practicality, so I can see exactly what the item looks like. I prefer photos taken against simple backgrounds and in daylight (outside is fine). If the item has...

    'gaudy' eBay Photos?

    Goodness. Can you imagine how it would feel to come across this on the internet and have it written about you?

    Armani turns back to 1930s for home collection

    The "Antoinette" vanity is amazing!

    'gaudy' eBay Photos?

    Definitely! Then you can show the item clearly, and demonstrate it's versatility. Win-win.

    Show us the food dishes you've prepared.

    I'm a really great baker, but sadly, I don't have access to a working oven or stove when I'm living in the dorms at school. To avoid the horrible (and very unhealthy) cafeteria food, I often make bento lunches and snacks using uncooked or microwavable food combinations. Nothing exciting, but I...
