I personally don't wash my clothes as often lol. Unmentionables are washed but even jeans and and tops go a few wears before washing. Dresses and the like aren't washed until they are visibly dirty. I don't roll in the mud so it works out. My grandmother taught me that washing your clothes in...

I live in Land O Lakes, which isn't to far :) Rather close to US 41. To tell you the truth I'm a tad apprehensive of meeting people in RL that I met online, but I would love that. :) I don't have many friends who are interested in it as well so it would be nice.

Oh I remember reading somewhere that when silk was scarce for stockings the ladies would draw a 'seam' down their legs to make it look like they had them on anyways! I don't know if that little tidbit was true or not but it sure set an ideal in my head. A lot of times now you'll see young people...

Thanks. Yes, learning to sew has always frightened me, I don't know why though. I've always been afraid to sew my fingers up or something silly.

Thank you for the welcome Golightly. Yes, confidence is key to looking good in any outfit in any area. I think I'm going to have to pay a little visit to my local book store and see if I can pick up a similar book to what Berlin is reading. It would be very helpful if you could give me the...

I've always wanted to learn but I can't dance :( I have no rhythm, but I love to watch! I love how belly dancing is supposed to be so quietly sensual without being over the top risqué. It's like a private wink between lovers. :)

I have a funny situation with the whole shoe issue/comment. I actually have super high arches so I usually wear heels everywhere! I gave birth to a baby girl last year and I was told to start wearing 'Mommy shoes'. I tried wearing flats but they brought me so much pain! I did get some insoles to...

You have all made great points about the 'ideal' look. Yes, I do have a very pretty skin tone that I love but I do sometimes take an envious glance at those porcelain skinned friends of mine that would look fabulous all dolled up. :) My own skin tone is not dark as much as it is just really...

Oh! Well I deff. don't think I'll be wearing my undies out in public, I was raised much better than that. I actually fell in love with the style because it exudes femininity without showing skin which was a must growing up in the circle I did.

Thanks! :) I guess my first investment will be in a good sewing machine :) I dunno how to sew lol High time I learned :)

I simply adore your avi Lolita! How funny :) May I ask what a rockabilly mess is?

Thank you for the reply! I am a 0 in designer sizes. I rarely fit into anything that is found in a commercial store. I generally find a much better fit in the children's sizes (10/12 12 being the best). I'm Puerto Rican/Japanese so it's a tad harder to find a model to emulate. I do have some...

I think I'm going to hit up some of the older thrift shops. A few years ago I got a beautiful black pencil skirt with a great corset detailing on the back but it was stolen at my college's communal laundromat :(

Haha, my inner bad girl had my parents running around in fear when I was younger! I'm 21 now but then, I used to do the cat eyes to make my dad cringe and the red lippies to upset all the old biddies at Synagogue. He used to beg me to not do my eyes so heavy and turn my bag upside down for my...

Oh, I'm on the same boat as you! I've worn the red lippie for years because my religious parents HATE it, but when it comes to the clothes and such...I have not one vintage piece! I have no idea where to go and my searches at local thrift stores has been futile. Can you believe they are starting...
