    "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...
