Do you see a time when you stop wearing vintage?
My vintage facebook friends all came from Fedora Lounge. I closed my Twitter account about 3 years ago, though. If you want to friend me on FB, I go by my real name "Andrea Gideon". Send me a friend request.- kamikat

GI Jane, I love your center part look! -
Show us your vintage knitting and crochet!
Here is my first project from A Stitch in Time, Vol 2. It really grew, so while my gauge was right, I probably should have gone done a needle size. However, you can't find much fault in silk yarn. Because of the growing, I decided to omit the bow. It was a simple knit and I'll probably make...- kamikat

Do you see a time when you stop wearing vintage?
I think you and Flicka are missing my point entirely. My point is that because society no longer expects people to act like grown-ups as one ages, some people (who perhaps lacked role models or basic drive/ambition) need rites of passage to move from one stage of life to the next. How else do...- kamikat

Do you see a time when you stop wearing vintage?
Yes, that's exactly what I mean. They aren't signs of maturity to the rest of the world but a rite of passage that helps the individual internalize maturity, in many cases.- kamikat

Do you see a time when you stop wearing vintage?
Who mentioned breeding? In my situation, I see it more as their situations not requiring growing up. Their lives are no different today then the day they graduated University, except they now have income that let's them buy all their toys. With no demands on their time or money, they spend it...- kamikat

Do you see a time when you stop wearing vintage?
Considering that my social circle consists of many 35 year old (and older) men going around dressed like skateboard punks, it's because they still are skateboard punks. Generally speaking, they are 2 incomes, no children couples who have never grown up. As to the socialogical issues behind...- kamikat

Here's yesterday's hair. All I had to do was wrap a bandana around it to sleep and it looks exactly like that today. -

Wool for WWII knitting
I typically use sock weight or fingering weight yarn. All of the vintage patterns I've used list a gauge, so just make sure to do a gauge swatch. I'm allergic to sheep's wool, so this is the yarn that I use for most of my vintage projects...- kamikat

What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?
It looks like she does several events in London. Perhaps you could email her to find out when she'll bring her lipsticks to an event and try them. -
What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?
They're not quite as glossy but not as matte as Ruby Woo. I'd say similar to Besame. -
What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?
Have you tried http://www.limecrimemakeup.com/categories/lipstick/ ? They have 2 reds that are lovely. Glamour 101 Retrofuturist (it's not quite this bright in real life) -
What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?
Oh, how fun! I had no idea I was in their gallery. -

What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?
Have you tried Rockalilly? Their colors are not trying at all. I think in terms of matte/cream, I'd put them in between Ruby Woo and Besame. Plus, the owner is a local UK gal, so you would be supporting a small female-run business. I like Roulette Red best. http://www.rockalily.com/buy -

In my middle class suburban neighborhood, it's not unusual to see pajamas in the grocery store or Starbucks, worn on people of all ages.- kamikat

Sewing Lessons & FAQ
Most of us get alot of patterns on eBay or etsy. Simplicity and Butterick have several current reprints that are good for beginners, with modern instructions, at any local fabric store. I'd avoid the Vogue reprints, as they are mostly intermediate or advanced.- kamikat
