Vintage style while doing chemo ?
I can't offer other suggestions than the ones posted on here. I'll keep you in my prayers. Didn't someone on here recently buy some vintage style wigs after a very short haircut?- Lillemor

Mirror, mirror
I don't know who Anna Sten is/was but I'm suddenly very curious because when I looked away from these photo sets, aside from the wonderful and warm smile of Bobby "Rydell" Ridarelli (you can say whatever you want about Ann-Margret but not a bad word about Bobby around me!;) ) in the Ann-Margret... -

Valentines Day?
Don't celebrate it. Don't care. I want hub to be loving, caring and attentive 365 days a year.lol It was still considered an American thing until I moved back to Denmark at the end of 1997 and at least for me, that was the first time I saw it mass marketed in Denmark, sadly. It's not genuine...- Lillemor

Something being 'retired'?
Wow! Thanks to all who have responded. I wasn't expecting such thorough explanations. I'm usually the one guilty of extremely long posts.:o So I don't mind reading other people's long posts.:) I live in Denmark so it's my dad who's getting me started and we're not that worried about...- Lillemor

Turn of the Century?
I've never done it authentically but tried to emulate it in the mid 90s at times. I like so many different historical periods. Ideally, I'd be able to reach into my wardrobe and grab something from any one period I feel for on that day. I know there used to be sites that did reproductions...- Lillemor

Something being 'retired'?
I would like to begin to collect Fiesta. Both new and old is fine with me but what does it mean when a site lists a certain color or collection as 'retired'? How's that different from discontinued?- Lillemor

1960's Makeup and Hair
I think the correct way of phrasing it is that I get so much hair tightly tangled on the foam rollers and I end up pulling off more hair than one should expect. -
the leopard can never change its spots
It appears as if both H&M and Ellos have leopard print bikinis in their Spring/Summer collections and if you're at least an EU 38/40, Ellos also has a leopard print swimsuit. I think it's the same with Cellbes. I only use Cellbes for buying home loafers.lol- Lillemor

Show us your hair do's....
Thanks, I think mine are opposite yours and just a little shorter yet at the longest part but longer at the shortest part. But basically I should be able to do something similar with my bangs. -
1960's Makeup and Hair
Exactly my experience with the velcro rollers. I have sponge rollers but my hair tangles and breaks when I try to get them out. Am I putting too much tension on? Also the "frames" keep falling off. I haven't seen magnetic rollers around here. It used to be my preferred choice for setting my... -
Ladies Coats: 40s vs 50s vs 60s
Then why do women in their 70s-80s always ask "why do you need one more?!". Such hypocrites!;) I had my dad (b.1943 Fort Worth, TX. Grew up in NorCal) look at a bunch of images from around the net of stuff I liked "something" about but I couldn't quite define, (all of stuff from the...- Lillemor

1960's Makeup and Hair
This is sort of a late 50s/early 60s question because I'm desperate to make the best of a situation I'm losing faith in.:rolleyes: I rolled my hair on medium red and large blue velcro rollers at the top in dry hair with mousse: I didn't know what to do with the bottom so after blow... -
Show us the food dishes you've prepared.
Boil in broth/bouillon for 10 mins. on either side. Pour broth from pan and save for gravy, add butter and fry on 10 mins. on either side. Serve with stewed white cabbage. Disclaimer: Neither this nor cabbage is safe to serve for people with ulcers. Don't prepare food like this too often!lol- Lillemor

50's Sock Hop Attire
Go to youtube and look at what they wore on Bandstand? From another program but look at the dancers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygO0PIcoTeI The girls in pencil skirts look like they're in a bit of danger if you ask me.- Lillemor

Ladies Coats: 40s vs 50s vs 60s
Skidoo, I'm so glad you brought this up. For those of us who didn't live back then (or weren't observant of fashion) it's hardest to distinguish something from an end of a decade and beginning of another decade, especially if all we have to go by are fashion magazines and catalogs of the era...- Lillemor

Show us the food dishes you've prepared.
A "bit" late: November 09: Christmas 09: 2 types of potato, 2 types of gravy, red cabbage, vegetables, pork roast with rind (cut off roast), duck. Was better on 2nd day. Made a better pork roast with rind on Sunday that was from a butcher and not a generic cut from the supermarket...- Lillemor

Show us your hair do's....
Exactly, I thought I could trust the stylists at this place, they've done fine in the past, didn't matter which one I used, boys and hub always look fine but when you say layers at the top they misunderstand it completely. I don't know if there was too much noise in the salon. I said: "I... -
