Should I get a perm? Advice please.
Yes, but you won't have to set your hair as much. Without a perm, my set only lasts a single day. With a perm, my set lasts 3 days. I could probably go 4 days if my scalp didn't start to get itchy after 3 days. So, with respect to having to wash and set your hair every night, it does save time. -
Dumb question about red hair!
Framesi, an Italian brand, is also really good for red, but in the States, it's salon-only. I would recommend Goldwell, if you can get it. It is the best red I've tried, but I don't have access to Schwartzkopf. -
Dumb question about red hair!
It depends on what brand you are using and it depends on if your hair has color on it now. Going from a 7 to an 8 isn't going to affect how red it is, but rather the numbers after the decimal point, usually. Some brands are just not well known for their red colors. I could help if I had more... -

Should I get a perm? Advice please.
Miss Moonlight, I do my own perms because I'm a hairstylist. I've been doing at least one perm per week on clients for the last 15 years. I do not recommend doing it on yourself. -

This is one of the Vintage Vogue reprints, 8728. It's a rayon jersey, which isn't authentic, but makes for a very comfortable dress.- kamikat

Vintage make up for eyeglass wearers
I've been wearing glasses since I was about 8 years old. I wore contacts briefly in middle school but I never got used to them. To be honest, I've never given a thought to how my makeup is with or without the glasses. I just slap on my makeup and go. Generally speaking, if I'm taking... -

Should I get a perm? Advice please.
I gave myself a perm last week and I am in love!!!! I always felt that I couldn't have a perm because when I was dying my hair red, it was really damaged. Since I cut all the red off and have been dying it black and only the roots, my hair is much stronger. The perm did strip out the black... -
Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage
Yup! It made me grin from ear to ear. I don't know what was going on today, but I got compliments on my hair everywhere I went. AND just when I was thinking I needed to run home and wash and set it because I was too lazy to pin it up last night. (my new perm keeps a set looking decent, not...- kamikat

Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage
Little girls always seem to like a vintage look. I've been volunteering at my kids' school once a week for several years and little girls always say nice things to me. Last week, one girl just said "Mrs. Gideon, you're so pretty".- kamikat

Is style stuck in a 2 decade rut?
In 1985, my older sister's prom date worn checkered Vans where he has painted or colored the white square to match my sister's prom dress.- kamikat

Is style stuck in a 2 decade rut?
Maybe it's a regional thing? I've always called Converse All Star shoes "Chucks" and I'm edging up to 40. The first person I knew to wear them was my older sister's boyfriend, who called them Chucks, around 1979-80ish.- kamikat

Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage
In this case, I was clearly the outsider, so maybe they felt comfortable. In my grocery store, I am typically one of the few people (customer and staff) who speak English and I notice that I tend to be ignored alot. Maybe they were making fun of the white chick rather than making fun of the...- kamikat

In this case, it was the man who pointed me out to his female companion. Then they both laughed. I'm not even very costume-y today, just a sheath dress and very modern looking Mary Jane heels.- kamikat

I actually got pointed and laughed at today while doing the grocery shopping. That hasn't happened to me since I was in high school and wore a shaved head and Doc Marten boots.- kamikat
