Starting on red lipstick ;)
My first lipstick at 7-8 was a deep or bright Revlon red that was trendy in the 80s which I don't remember. My second lipstick was a wet'n'wild shock pink so I've had the reverse situation with trying to become accustomed to lighter colors and sheerer formulas. I only daily wore deep and... -
Best Mascara (for vintage looks)?
Update - Just picked the SexyCurves out of the paperbin because I'm post-x-mas-broke and I can't imagine going for months on end without a mascara. Curled lashes first. The mascara has a toxic stink to it! It may or may not help to hold the curl but it looks better after using a curler first... -
Best Mascara (for vintage looks)?
:eek: I only just read about this mascara in a mascara review for other women with lousy Asian lashes like mine (short, downward slanted, straight, coarse, sparse:() and I was really looking forward to trying it so I'm feeling gutted right now. I've been doing okay with Rimmel GlamEyes... -
Do you look like a past relative and get negative comments for it from family?
I'm adopted so I don't look like anyone but my personality similarities to my adoptive maternal grandmother gets on my mother's nerves! I actually feel sorry for my mother. My family in-law often become confused when they're looking at baby and toddler pictures of my oldest sister in-law... -
lipgloss?
I read that lipgloss was invented in 1932 so I guess it's not incorrect in the historical context and many did apply vaseline over and/or under their lipstick. I've been looking at some late 50s poster boys pictures and I swear the "boys" (late teens/20s) look like they're wearing light... -

What is your personal 'No-No' for makeup, hair, & wardrobe?
Nothing that ends at calf length be it boots, skirts or capris. I have heavy calves and will continue to have heavy calves even if I get my act together, the weather improves and I get some exercise. No volume on the side of my hair which means I'm suffering an odd in between stage with my... -
Your favorite movie quotes
Parkeezah (released 1972, begun filming ca.1957/lots re-shot no original shots in film released): "This Pink Palace Is Like a Tomb". While I love vintage pink rooms, especially bathrooms, I can just see myself lying down and saying something melodramatic like that.- Lillemor

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Le ragazze di San Frediano (TV 2007) I recognized the actor who usually plays Inspector Coliandro. I had a terrible trouble finding the Italian Title because on my TV the TV film title was changed to something Danish which I only remembered in parts ('Pigernes Sheik' is the complete Danish...- Lillemor

Do you say Goodbye on the 'phone?
I say hello with name and goodbye here in Denmark but my Danish mother noticed when she lived in the U.S. (late 70s) that many people over there just said hello and didn't say goodbye. It's taken a long time to change. In the U.S. my dad who's American told me to say hello but not followed by...- Lillemor

It's official... I hate my hair!
Ah! I've got a similar situation with jaw length in front, hidden layers becoming visible yet not quite like a middy in the back. I'm just going to hide it all under knit hats and forget about my hair for until April. Then it will have had six months to grow. When we get to April I'll think... -
What sparked your fascination with the "Golden Era"?
I had visions as a child of a child sitting by a big black stove thing trying to keep warm and I had a sense of the child trying to keep out of a busy mother's way. Then later on I had visions of whom I knew was the same person but I thought as an adult (now I think perhaps as what we'd call a...- Lillemor

What my grandmother told me about life in the 1940s.
Erh...no, she was high.:o She experimented a bit like they did in the 1960s and usually people say that if you remember the 1960s then you weren't there so the association to the 60s cliche´ made me laugh. This was my now late maternal grandmother who'd moved from rural Jylland to a rough part...- Lillemor

What sparked your fascination with the "Golden Era"?
I don't know much about conventional beliefs in reincarnation but I believe (feel I strongly know as opposed to believe but lets not get into a heated religious debate here) in multiple lives and there are some eras and places in history I feel particularly connected to and it's not necessarily...- Lillemor

What my grandmother told me about life in the 1940s.
My grandmothers were allready in their 30s in the 1940s but one kept talking about the year she spent in Baltimore in 1931 as if nothing happened in her life before or after. The other one said that if you remember the 1930s then you weren't there. She wasn't mixing up decades!;):D- Lillemor

The Middy Thread
Stiny Gry, that looks like a good cut and I love your hair color. Yeah, hairdressers like to do that crunchy thing. My hair is straight but when I've had perms they've always insisted on transforming my hair in to something so stiff and crunched it's hurricane proof.:rolleyes: My bob that's... -

Various Andy Williams and Bing Crosby I could find on youtube. Need something calm and uplifting at the same time. -
Ladies, what scents do you like on your men?
My dad's one of those babyboomer's who's against all that smelly stuff, stuff in your hair, etc. so I have no father associations to either. I suppose my grandfathers would've worn things like that but I didn't really know them and if I had associated it with their generation of men, I wouldn't...- Lillemor

House slippers
Mao shoes aren't particularly vintage but they're within my budget. However, when I visit my MIL I like to borrow her quality study soled, wool felt slippers. The price for a pair is just too steep for me. They're similar to the ones Puzzicato posted but flat soled. They're so comfortable...- Lillemor
