    SOLID POTATO SALAD -- the return!

    ugh! *shudder* That may take a lot of talent, but it really creeps me out.

    Dita Von Teese

    I don't mean so much that she comes off as an idiot. She clearly had business smarts to get her where she is, agreed. She does have a good sense of humor and is well-spoken. And yet.... It was one interview in particular that really got to me. I wish I could find it. I'll post if I do. I really...

    Dita Von Teese

    Am I the only one to think she sounds vacuous? Really, if you read some of her interviews, you'd think that lovely clothing is all there is to the woman... It doesn't help that her profession offends my feminist sensibilities, I'll admit. However, I that I could forgive that if she had more...

    Vintage-Inspired clothing lines

    I happened across this shirt at Kohl's the other day. I would have gotten it but the arms were too small on the small (which otherwise fit perfectly) and the waist was too large on the medium (but the arms fit just right) :( . Anyway, it's very pretty -- reminds me of things ladies wear in the...

    Show us what you have Crafted!

    FuzzyLizzie, that fabric is simply *stunning*. I wouldn't mind wallpapering my livingroom in an enlarged version of it (although in more muted colors perhaps).

    Besame cosmetics

    Oh my! I received my order a few days ago. I was expecting to love my new Besame Red and Red Hot Red. Both are so unexpectedly bright!!! Also, I was sure that Red Hot Red would work better on me because it's a warm tone and I have yellowish undertones to my very fair skin. Boy was I wrong. I...

    Besame cosmetics

    Did anyone else place order at the very last minute? I just did...at 12:01 by my clock. I hope the order actually works...It said it did. I ordered the Besame Red, Red Hot Red, and the satin roll.

    Beauty Buffet

    I would make a call first to find out if they really do have it -- they certainly don't list them at sephora.com.

    Emu Oil?

    My best friend ordered some a few months ago after reading about all of its wonderful properties. She bought it just for her face because she had very dry skin in places. She also had oily areas and lots of deep acne -- after just a few weeks with nightly application, her skin was softer and...

    Guilty of collecting....?

    I have collections of or am currently collecting: old books masks corsets decanters (of the crystal sort) china dolls (from when I was much younger) beautiful/unusual glasswear geisha-related items/books other lovely objects which cross my path -- hat pins, brooches, very old jewelry...

    Lace it up - The true Corset thread

    Yes! I have several. I would have more if I could afford them. Some of them are not real, in the sense that they have plastic boning, but others are. My first was one from Charlotte Russe about 5 years ago. It was just for the look because it was all I could afford at the time. Then I got a...

    Pearl Face Powder

    Sorry, I know this is a bit old but... i couldn't help but reply. I have heard of cosmetics with crushed pearls and, more recently, diamonds (though I don't have any idea about the benefits of the latter). I used a Wei East powder for a while that contained some and I have a shimmery...

    How to get pale, luminous skin?

    Lightening Recipes I used to want super pale skin. Mine is already pretty darn light, but not moon pale. I've seen a few girls with that kind of pale, and most have said that they use SPF 55 all over and stay out of the sun -- they also use a parasol when they have to walk around outside. I...

    Besame cosmetics

    I did hear from them. They said that they would send me a check for the overcharge amount. That email was sent on the 7th and it has yet to arrive. I don't live THAT far away from LA. I'll contact them again in three days time. Also, I did receive my most recent order, but I only got one of my...

    Besame cosmetics

    Lower Prices! Besame just lowered their prices on eyeshadow ($22 down to $18) and their boudoir rouge ($24 down to $20). Of course this is after I placed my order for two eyeshadows. Darn it! They also charged me more on shipping than the $3 domestic shipping advertised. I emailed them about...

    What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?

    Oh yay! What good news! I was starting to feel hopeless; I'd resigned myself to having to buy only from Besame after this (I love their Cherry Red and Red Velvet). I looked up the picture and thought the color looked a bit different than my own, but then, colors do look differed depending on...

    Cologne and perfume

    Exotic! I have a few favorites, all very different. My first love was Fire by Jovan; it's scent is described as Cedar Wood (and that's really about it). I wasn't really sure what it was, but now it makes sense. It's warm and inviting and my boyfriend loves it. I can't find it anywhere now...

    What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?

    Maybelline I don't usually buy this line, but for some reason I happened to be scanning that makeup area in some store about 5 years ago and spotted that PERFECT red lipstick. It's called Maybelline Forever Lipcolor in 150 Flame. It's this great deep yet bright crimson color. I wore it right...

    Vintage Makeup Favorites

    I was thinking of buying some Coty Airspun powder just a few days ago. I have fond memories of my grandmother using it at her vanity. As I looked through the collection I was worried that there wouldn't be anything for my skin tone -- everything looked far too peach and too dark. I've noticed...

    Pale or Tan?

    Hello all! As this is my first post, I'd like to say hello:):offtopic: Tan or fair? I've always chosen fair -- partly for health, but mostly because I think I look best fair. My face became slightly tan one summer and I looked sickly! My skin turns a sort of yellow-gold color that just...
