    What would your name be? (Gents too!)

    Daisie, I bet the family tree is interesting. I want to have that done. I bet it can get quite expensive.

    What would your name be? (Gents too!)

    This is an interesting topic. My first name is Larissa (pronounced Lareesah) and my middle name is Alice, which is after my great grandmother, whom is scottish. As for what I wanted, I couldn't really tell you. I love the name Alexandria (if I'd had a daughter, that would have been her...

    Why are wrinkles undesireable?

    All I can say is "sunblock". I can totally relate, 30 was my worst year. I had a midlife crisis...actually I believe I'm still going through it. Considering my family dies relatively young, I'm right on target. A lot of things come into play for me. I have health issues that have scared me...

    Playtex #4693 vs.modern style bra- PICS

    Woooo $80 dollars!? What kind are they? Well, I've gotten to the point that I'll pay for quality. The thing that sucks about undergaments is that you need so many of them. I like to have at least 5 or 6 bras, but I have a hard time coughing up 30 bcucks a bra. Shoot, I'm having a hard time...

    Girdles, Corsets, and Underpinnings

    I run about a 26-27 ( The inch flunctuates depending on the holidays, and how quick I lose it). I need the support because of multiple abdominal surgeries that have left my stomach looking like, well, sh!t (for lack of a better word). Personally, I go into stores and try them on. I believe my...

    Linda Przybyszewski -- Remember the Name!

    Tomasso, I concur.I don't know...the article seemd very elitist (mainly the title). It would be interesting to see what her background is. The woman gets paid to sew (a book in prgress). Women of the day had sewn out of necessity (my mother included), not because they thought it was cute. I...

    Need help to get a Christina do!

    Is it me or does it look like she (or probably her stylist) may have pinned them dry? When they are pinned wet, you see scalpage (lol is that a word?) or scalp cleavage. It looks like she may have used the curling iron and then pinned them, so they would be ready for a later event?

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    Anyone go to Corvettes Diner in San Diego? Totally 50s retro... A bit load (all the old music favs), if you can get passed that, it's worth checking out. The waitresses dress up in little waitress uniforms, some with fishnet stockings/tights. Very cute!

    Girdles, Corsets, and Underpinnings

    I have a flexees and I like it quite a bit. I think it's hard to get around some of the bulging without the heavy boning that comes from corsetry. Even corsets have to be heavily boned, so they won't create rools. I think event he thinnest beanpoles have the same probs without the right corset...

    weight gain how to dress?

    I agree...Where's the fat? I don't see it. :) I guess I can underestand, though. My confidence is great, when the clothes are on...now when they are off, that's a whole other story. I use to think I was big as a teenager, but after having a c-section and multiple abdominal surgeries, I know...

    A question for the red heads...

    WOW! Very becomming with your blue eyes. I'm jealous! I have always wanted to go red, but I'm so fickle.

    Wearing Suede

    I wear my brown suede T-straps anytime. True, fall is best, but I never have been a rule follower. I wear long sleeves and cardigans in the middle of the summer because of cold office air. I also can't wear spring/summer colors, they are just too bright for my fair skin. [huh]

    Pillow-face

    I was thinking the same thing. Satins made with cotton harbor static and absorb oils from hair. I love flannel (from cotton, of course), in the winter, but my hair looks like crap, when I wake up. Phyllis Diller would be jealous of my morning poof.

    Vintage Hairstyles with thin, fine hair?

    I have what is like a middy right now and my hair is fine. It works okay...it's the breakage from styling fine hair, that sucks.
