    Girdles, Corsets, and Underpinnings

    KamiKat, 3 months is 3 months, with normal wear and tear. However I have some that are older because I only use them on occasion. Shoot, I don't think anyone follows it, though. I actually need new ones. KittyT, the only reason it said "the middle hook" is for weightloss or weight...

    Nothing but Seamed Stockings

    They aren't vintage, but Frederick's of hollywood carries a nice selection as well as some of the "adult" stores around town, if you catch my drift. Persoanlly I love fishnet backseams and cuban heels.

    Dressing vintage in the workplace

    Lillemore, I find it odd too. I love velvet, I think it's classy. I'm the same way, I wear because I like it, not so much as a retro throw-back. I have velvet radar, I will sniff it out of a store. lol! Supposedly velvet is in again, this winter, so hopefully I can get some new tops. ;)

    Modern and repro hats

    Geez, I wasn't trying to offend. Even the most expensive toile isn't all that expensive, same goes for ribbon. I'm pretty handy, so I guess maybe for someone like me, it seems pretty simple. For someone that doesn't sew, I guess maybe that is worth that price to them. It just seems pretty...

    Tinseltown, I'm not sure, it looks to be definately of that erra. Is there a brand name on the lamp? Most times, if something is stamped (on the bottom, I would think) "made in U.S.A.", then it's proably old. If it says "made in china", then you know it's a reproduction.

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    Kassia, I have the same complaints about shoes. I want cute work shoes and I lean toward clunky heels. the spike heels that are back in, are great, but they wear out fast and my arches are yelping by the end of the day. THese I have on order and they're taking forever. They're modern with a...

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    StaceFace, I love those. I saw them too and tried them on, they are too high (toe slides down OW!) and too narrow for my feet... :(

    It's a pretty lamp. I don't know how much that is actually worth but, I think the better question is; is it worth that much to you?". Otherwise, you'll just drive yourself crazy, if you find one cheaper. Considering it took you so long to find one, then I would say it was worth that price. :)

    Vintage Camping Equipment

    Hello... Nice topic...I love tent camping! It's nice to see people still do that. Everyone I know belive motorhomes are really roughing it. Coleman canister pump-style stoves are great, but mine is clogged. How do you unclog the thing? It sits in storage now.

    Help with hair rolling

    RitaHayworth, ehh I don't brush much at all... I can't, it will break off. It's damaged, so the brush won't go through without help. It will get back to normal. I don't use heat, but once-a-week.

    Help with hair rolling

    I have my same thoguhts about the stuff too, but then, I worry more about the plastic products our food products are packaged in/eat out of. Sometimes I wanna say "why breath?", like others, but you do wonder about all the stuff we use, as consumers. [huh]
