    "Mad Men" on AMC (US) - (Spoilers Within)

    I like that the characters have their little qualities that make them signature. Betty is a headcase. Peggy is struggling with being confident/ambitious and insecure/pleasing. Don is just all kinds of messed up! The acting is great and I hope the show just gets better and better. This...

    vintage pics of african americans

    This is a fantastic thread and it makes me feel so good seeing these photos. People sometimes give me strange looks for dressing vintage but I know that ladies and gents of the decade dressed fabulous and it's so refreshing to see others acknowledge it too. Thank you LadyDay :)

    Does vintage make you look.... *older*?

    People assume I am in my late 20's or early 30's. For some reason when my hair is short this happens a lot more but when my hair is longer it isn't as frequent. Funny...*shifty eyes* ha!

    Show Us Your Tattoos

    My hair isn't blue anymore (or as fabulous as i'd like) but here is my sleeve in progress! I got the Peacock from wall flash by Bert Grimm. I love his art and my second tattoo of the leopard on my sleeve is another one of his original flash. I plan on getting more roses and Peacock...

    Hair Dye: colors, product reviews, and tips

    I used henna dye when I was in highschool, went jet black. It worked! but it was rather messy and kind of looks like a mud pack on your head. I loved the color though, really rich and dark. I will say that hennas are great but if you use metallic dyes like Feria you can risk melting your...

    Beauty Marks

    I have quite a few on my face, little beauty marks. I have one next to my left eye, one above my upper lip and another on my right temple. A fun beauty tip I got was to use the tip of a liquid liner ink well and dot the tip of a blemish (of course using salicylic acid over it or benzoyl...

    When did you first start wearing Make-up?

    My aunt would put makeup on me when I was little, mostly for fun and also to give me ideas of what to do when I was allowed to wear it when I got older. Back in the 80's if you were ethnic most of your makeup was special order from a department store because they didn't carry too many shades of...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    I get some funny looks here and there. It's really my tattoos and the fact I am wearing clothes that people often say are "conservative". That's about all I really get comments wise, most people don't say much of anything to me when I am walking. Unless it's the young guys who think it's...

    Tattoos.

    I got my second tattoo of a Bert Grimm Leopard from Sea Tramp tattoo in Portland Oregon. They have his original flash on the walls from the 40's. Pretty awesome to see someone recognize him! I just have an opinion and that comment was insulting to me but now it's over and done with so I am...

    "Here's looking at you, kid" and what might get you slapped

    I don't mind some pet names, but I appreciate them only for people I am close or have had some time to get to know and feel comfortable with. I think when someone calls me "kid" it really trivializes, takes the strength out of what I say. How can anyone make a strong statement and be...

    Does anyone use a name that's not their own?

    I have a couple. Sandria and my childhood nickname which most people call me instead of my given name. Sandria is kinda like....my flashy side :D

    Oh the Stigma with wearing seamed fully fashioned stockings!

    I am just going to be blunt about this... No matter what we women do or wear a man will find a way to sexualize it. I LOVE my seam stockings and I wouldn't stop wearing them for anyone no matter how ridiculous they want to match my clothing to their desires. I will make this rather clear...

    Sun protection in the golden age

    *Kinda off topic* Barbara was wearing a wig in the film, I was watching "Double Indemnity" on television one evening and they had trivia facts at the bottom of the screen. One of the mentions was her wig and how she "was determined to wear it" for her role as phyllis. And from what I also...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Mimosa, with grapefruit instead of O.J. I like it nice and tangy ;)

    Cocktail Hour Advice?

    I wonder if anyone has ever tried the glass of milk with sugar in it? In the past, with some of the benders I went on, the idea of milk and sugar would have made me real green. Hiiiooooh! I am curious to find more of these drinking "guides" from yesteryear. Totally have a new research...

    Dita Von Teese

    She's fabulous and makes me feel a lot better when I am a tad down and out about some things in my life. It's kinda nice to see a lady who is quite comfortable with her sexuality and also wears gloves and stockings. I don't feel I have to explain so much to people about what I do now that...

    Handsome Fellas!

    When I saw my now boyfriend for the first time.... He walked into the lounge wearing a pendletons plaid in dark green/grey, dark denim jeans with a cuff, slicked back hair and some doc's. I instantly was like *ding ding*. He has this "man of few words" stance about him, I love it. When...
