I picked up the Wild Orchid shade and it is lovely deep purplish pink on me--what a shame it has been discontinued!

I didn't go to prom—I was pretty shy in high school. Lolita, when that movie came out, everyone took to calling my good friend and I “Romy and Michelle,” as we looked a bit like them. How funny that you and your friend went as that pair to prom. :)

I watched this yesterday and I agree with you--some of the styles that the judges thought were 'period perfect' were pretty lackluster to me. In particular, the 1940s interpretation was pretty bad (and certainly not helped by her outfit), and I thought the 1920s style looked very messy and...

Shearer, that color actually looks very nice on you. It matches your dress perfectly, too. :) And Bella, I accidentally swept up some Black Pearl eye shadow along with the blush just the other day, and then had a time of it getting the black smudge of my cheek. lol

Congratulations, GoldLeaf! I suggest looking for some vintage maternity wear or patterns instead of purchasing the items you are eyeing. The nice thing about 1930s-40s maternity clothing is that is was designed to grow with you, and many styles do not look like maternity clothing at all...

Thank you! I was really excited to find this one. :)

Lovely flowers, ladies! And what a great way to store them, Babydoll. I think I am going to make use of that idea. :) Here are some of my hair flowers: Spring cherries, too;):

I am, Bella. But I think this little number will be sure to fit! ;) By the way, Daisy, we can never have too many black dresses in our closets, can we. ;)

Now, now ladies! ;)lol Though I do believe that we wear the same size shoe, Lolita. Maybe I should lock those shoes up...lol Thora, I love the second pair as well. Those are super cute!

Loving the new purchases, ladies! I picked up this celluloid mah jong necklace today:

1940s navy blue rayon crepe dress with yellow, white, and kelly green daisy print Woven yellow belt Fully fashioned nude stockings 1940s kelly green suede platforms Yellow flower earrings Hair in double rolls with a sunflower accent

Love the knit dresses, Daisy! As for Port Halcyon, I believe their store has connections with a New York shop. I know the girl who was helping with it works with a posh store there; the prices are supposed to be higher in that area (just like in CA). I'd say there are a number of online...

1940s pink crepe dress with black novelty print of city scenes Narrow black belt Nude fully fashioned stockings Black peep toe pumps Black flower earrings Hair in double rolls with a pink rose accent

I think I just prefer a shoe with a little more heel; espadrilles are an adorable option. :) Sunny, I see exactly what you mean. How interesting!
