    Fictional Character Crush

    I have a huge crush on Prof Snape from the Harry Potter movies. I have no idea why, but I would love to have a whirlwind romance with him. When I was little, I crushed Hans Solo from the Star Wars movies.

    Crochet anyone?

    I think it would be safe to assume that these are not for us "big heads". I am a 22.5/23 too. Most vintage hats run small (at least all the ones I've tried on). You could do a few extra increases to compensate. I just made a basic winter hat and had to add a few more rows to make it fit my...

    *Snoods*

    Inky, good job on the snood. I make the same ones. I've made many of them for my Etsy store. I just cut all my hair off so I won't be wearing a snood for a LONG time. But that's OK, I needed a change.

    Foyle's War UK WW II period police drama

    i just don't see the attraction to honeysuckle weeks. i just said the other day to my husband "she looks homely". he didn't resond too much to that so i guess he didn't want to say anything. i guess he feels like you guys do. hahah. i like her hair though. i'm jealous of that.

    Foyle's War UK WW II period police drama

    I just discovered this series last summer so I missed almost all of the episodes. So I just started borrowing them from the library. I just returned season 1 today. Now we just have to request season 2. I really like it.

    Help with finger waves

    texas girl: first off, those clips are great. i need a set! did you try a firmer hold setting lotion or gel? that will make or break a good set. and i also suggest making sure the gripper teeth are down to your scalp. also, your layers might be working against you. but, as with anything...

    Show us your hair do's....

    For you gals who are thinking of getting a bonnet dryer... Do not use bobby pins or metal clips. Trust me on this as I learned the hard way, anything metal will get super hot and scald your scalp. I did that not only once...but twice. Yeah, stupid me. I use the sponge rollers with the...

    Show us your hair do's....

    Desi: you can find non-vintage ones at Sally Beauty. I got one a few years back. It doesn't have a dryer though, i have to hook the tube up to my dryer. I think it was about $15. I am sure they have some with dryers attached too but you'd have to check.
