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

    I'd say, the modern culture does not make you want to wear it, it makes you feel inadequate if you don't wear it, and that's what I dislike. If a girl (heck, if a guy) wants to wear those, why not? It's their choice. It's also their choice NOT to wear it and that's where the problem starts...

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

    This. A lot of women who have really accomplished something, are still evaluated by how they look and with whom they sleep. Their competency is an afterthought. I honestly don't believe that the modern day has discovered something new in lieu of morals. I'm sure there were several 'raunchy'...

    Retro-extremists? What are we called?

    Worst thing is, I think you are right. :(

    Who here makes their own beauty products??? :)

    Oh, I forgot to add - I do my face peeling with a slice of lemon :) Terribly un-fashionable, I'm afraid.

    Help with my hair please!

    If the tutorials posted by the ladies do not work, I 'd suggest the following: - brush your pincurls out very thoroughly. If it takes a half an hour, than it takes a half an hour. Don't despair. Brush it out, then leave it while you have breakfast , then brush out again - it will look better...

    Paul , that looks wondeful! So elegantly assembled!

    Vintage related self-businesses

    This. Oh, and another thing. A LOT of European vintage patterns did not have their copyrights renewed, since publishers have gone bankrupt, magazines have ceased to exist, etc. Take a look around the European forums, people post a lot of copyright-free patterns. You're in the clear with those.

    Feeling Good vs. Looking Good

    Lately, I'm the opposite. I take extra care to do my pincurls every night and put on lipstick, just because I feel so stressed and exhausted and lifeless. Maybe it doesn't help all that much, but it definitely helps. :)

    Stepping back in to the 40's in public I need your help please!

    My vote: blouse No. 3, tan stockings. I'm undecided about the shoes - you look great in both pairs.

    current dress trends

    Funny thing is, the larger sizes are the one that are sold out first (possibly, because there are two racks provided), and there are always small sizes left at the end of the season. One would think that at least a manufacturer would look at the numbers and say: "Oh! We've sold a LOT of the...

    current dress trends

    Not to fuel arguments, but I have to say, the mainstream women's fashion is directed at thin people, or at very least at people who believe that they should starve themselves down at few sizes. And I'm not talking about truly overweight people loosing a few pounds. I don't know what the...

    high end vs low end products ?

    Oh, I love the toothy tabs! "Aquatic" left my gums healthier than ever before (and believe me, I've tried nearly all toothpastes and mouthwashes available). And the packaging is really environmentally friendly.

    high end vs low end products ?

    It says "available from June" on the Art Deco website (showing lipstick, mascara, nail polish, eye-shadow and what looks to be a compact powder and compact foundation). Unfortunately, I don't know how long the stores will keep it. I do hope you'll be able to get it still!
