Show us your hair do's....
I apologise for posting SUCH horrid pictures - I wish one of you lovely ladies would make a tutorial on how to take decent pictures of a hairdo without resorting to mirrors and terrible lighting and awkward angles. But I'm so excited right now, as quite suddenly a bad hair day turned into a... -
The Middy Thread
Alice~, it is. Even on longer hair the layers will be the same, inly the length will vary. After some really stressful months I've rewarded myself with a visit to my stylist and this is what we did, going absolutely by the middy diagram, and cutting 4 layers. Un-curled middy pictures ahead... -
The best face powder in the world!
Katiesparkles, oh, I can commiserate! I've been recently informed that I can no longer order Yardley of London EDT from the UK, because aerosols are not shipped to the continent anymore, safety measures being what they are. I'm pretty nervous about the Art Deco Dita collection, afraid it won't... -
I ask because I know you'll know...
Oh, Lizzie, that's just brilliant! Scottyrocks, the 'tone' is rather a powerful weapon!- Juliet

The best face powder in the world!
My absolute favourite is Art Deco's Silk Touch loose powder. I use it over a bit of Lush's Jackie Oates mixed with moisturiser. -
What katie did.... vintage lingere
I need some help. :) I'd like to order the Harlow bullet bra, but I'm rather unsure about the cupsize. I usually wear a German and Euro 75E, 80DD (whichever I can find!). Now I've read that at What Katie Did, you go down a cup, but, understandably, I don't want to end up spilling out of my bra... -

Cankles!
I have wide feet, too. *sob* I don't have cankles, but i know nothing with an ankle strap suits me, either. I guess the only solution is to throw envious looks at those who can wear them! :D Jokes aside, I think the best thing to do is to try on lots of shoes, even those you'd never thought... -
Vintage makeup tutorials
Aja has a nice tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvOOhTgWa8s&feature=g-user-u&context=G2a87c22UCGXQYbcTJ33Yb1DiC_-vVRTfKyVkapocNl441OJlPVlE So does Amy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neGIurzTRBI And Ashley aka LisaFreemontStreet has several, I believe. -
Girl Crushes!
RodeoRose, I'm so glad! :) Yes, I agree, she certainly had a stunning transformation! -
Girl Crushes!
This is probably a unpopular one, but I'll make my stand - Joan Crawford. She may have had faults (please no wire hanger jokes, unless you can expain at least half the discrepancies in that book), but she had real talent, and an incredible drive, a steely determination, which I cannot help but... -
Vintage Lifestyle VS Re-Enacting VS Cosplay
I think - and please note, I'm hardly an expert on the matter - cosplaying is more about becoming your favourite character from a book/film/anime/manga. Now, even if we only take those people in consideration, who just happened to stumble into vintage - well, I don't think I've come across a...- Juliet

Besame mascara ?
Miss Retro, the reviews on MakeUp Alley are rather mixed. Most reviewers agree though, that it lengthens, but does not give volume, and is indeed waterproof. I am still undecided myself whether to order or not. -
Marilyn Monroe/1950s hair help - what do I tell my stylist?
project:girl, this is just offf the top of my head, and it's done with a curling iron, but maybe you can adapt it? Standing pincurls, perhaps? http://vintagehair.livejournal.com/636005.html#cutid6 Also, that community has a Marilyn Monroe tag - might be something useful there, too. -
Show us your hair do's....
katiesparkles, I actualy set it again and then go to the shower. I find that the steam in the shower is just enough for my hair to get damp. -
Vintage Lifestyle VS Re-Enacting VS Cosplay
Actually, in German "Anzug" is the commonplace word for a suit. In Russian the word "костюм" appeared around the 30s/40s. Before that, I believe, the parts of a gentleman's clothes were referred to separately, and in general one would use the words "одежда/одеяние", which both mean...- Juliet
