    Today's Pinup Fashion a Sly Wink to the Past - New York Times

    William Stratford, when put this way I understand your point completely. Thank you for explaining. And don't even get me started on the Cadeux editorial - I only hope that it was reason for Roitfeld leaving so abruptly. LizzieMaine, and isn't it a shame? Vogue used to be an institution...

    Today's Pinup Fashion a Sly Wink to the Past - New York Times

    But weren't men still gentlemanly when feminism reared it's poor, confused head? So maybe that's why it didn't focus on male behaviour, instead centering on female empowerment? But I'll agree that female editors are doing dome substantial damage to pretty much every cause - except profit...

    Today's Pinup Fashion a Sly Wink to the Past - New York Times

    I do apologise in advance, it seems to be prudent in this thread :) While I don't necessarily agree with the tone of the remarks William Stratford made, I think his point - that strippers add to the objectification of women - is a valid one. However, who's to blame for it? Certainly not the...

    Today's Pinup Fashion a Sly Wink to the Past - New York Times

    They do protest against that: "The idea there’s this power in being sexualized, we’ve never seen it in quite this way before,” said Brown, an author and Colby College education professor. “This attempt by a younger generation to be more sex-positive — that you can be sexual and powerful and...

    DigThatBeat, and how does it blend on the skin?

    As if we didn't chat about pin curls enough. . .

    Penny Dreadful, maybe it's time to change your setting lotion? (dreadfully helpful, I know, but it's the only thing I can come up with)

    Guilty of being trite, but 250+?!!! :eeek: Holy Lawd!!! I can't even figure out how one'd have enough time for so many hmm... involvements!

    A commercial that promotes the worst of today

    I didn't realize that in this day and age of the looming Crisis, the average consumer can afford to change bathroom interiors on a whim. Or did they put in a public restroom?

    Dita Von Teese

    All right, so I've finally got away from work to wander into a drugstore. :) I have a feeling, that this one didn't carry all products of the collection, but I've expected that, really. I've bought the powder, the mascara, and eyeshadow so far. The powder is indeed light enough for the very pale...

    therizyflapper, thank you! Flicka, it looks wonderful. The style suits very well!

    Dita Von Teese

    Oh, thank you for the information! Do they market it as a seasonal collection or just as a new line? Oh, and one more question - how light is the face powder?

    kamikat, that's a lovely dress! And lovely dogs! :)

    Midcentury Domestic to Post-modern Superwoman (Women Only)

    You make perfect sense. But that's interesting what you say about Sweden! Every time I was there, I've always had doors opened, and suitcases carried. Even if it was 3-4 years ago. I couldn't agree more about the failed equality. And about the modern culture - I feel more and more, that we...

    Midcentury Domestic to Post-modern Superwoman (Women Only)

    I agree. As a matter of fact, I find this a lot in both fields I've been immersed in - science and dancing (funny pairing, huh?). And yet, out of all the women I've spoken to, a large percentage of those who shout for equality are really demanding all benefits and hardly any of the...

    Midcentury Domestic to Post-modern Superwoman (Women Only)

    Definitely. I actually wonder sometimes what exactly goes on in Anna Wintour's head. I know what's the deal with Lagerfeld, but Wintour? Although , I suppose, one could make the argument, that she's just making money. Still. I also meant to remark on the equality issue - and please don't kill...

    Pajamajeans. The end of fashion

    Oh, these aren't new. They've been around for quite some time, but I've only came across them them as a very cheap alternative to jeans.

    Midcentury Domestic to Post-modern Superwoman (Women Only)

    Hmm... of course I wasn't there, but I honestly don't think that the percentage of "doting and perfect" housewives was that incredibly high. I know women who've been working professionals (and wives and mothers) at that time, and they certainly don't regard it as some sort of impossible feat...

    DameWhoDrinks, the first photo could be a poster for a film noir! Retro_GI_Jane, that is beautiful and impressive, as always!
