    Long Lashes

    I'm curious to know how many of you wear fake eyelashes, and for what occasions... I used to know gals in the Bay area who wore them every day, but they both used the little clumps of just a few hairs that get glued on one at a time. Sounds tedious. Any preferences/personal accounts?

    Wanted: 7 3/8 Fedora

    I would very much like to pick up a grey hat similar to the one pictured in the link, size 7 3/8. Darker would be okay too...like charcoal.

    Buying a guy a lid

    I want to get my boyfriend a hat, but I'm not sure if I'm going about it the right way. Since I've found only limited selections in vintage shops, I thought about buying online. Anyone have favorite vendors/colors/styles/fabrics that they can recommend? I'm partial to browns, I think.

    pincurl or hot roller?

    I can do pincurls, but it takes me only about 15 minutes to set my hair in steam rollers. I know some of you have strong opinions on this topic, so what makes it worth the extra effort to set your hair in pin curls?

    Hepster Dictionary

    I love the scene in "Swing Kids" in which they're practicing slang terms and trying to use them in sentences. I'm sure you all would be able to create a lengthy collection, so what phrases do you know, and can you use them in a sentence? faust: an ugly girl "Did you like that faust you were...

    Fixing my old phone

    I have a Western Electric 500 series phone that only rings when it's in the mood, I guess. I love the way it sounds so I turned off the ringer to my touch-tone phone, but I've had to turn it back on as I've noticed the old rotary phone doesn't always ring...though sometimes it will chime in on...

    Sew Retro

    How many of you ladies actually sew your vintage patterns with vintage fabric and a vintage machine? (Seriously...you don't use 60 year old thread, do you?) I have a Singer "Portable" sewing machine from the 50s, but it sits in a case in my storage unit. I sew on an almost bottom-of-the-line...

    Grammar Geeks

    Maybe you've read "Eats, Shoots & Leaves." Maybe you're just a dork. Are there others out there who feel the drive to correct the writing/speech of others? I admit to applauding as I watched the Target employee replace the old "8 items or less" with an "8 items or fewer" sign. I've deleted...

    Everyday 40s Hair

    I've looked at one glamourous photo after another on this forum, and they beg the question: Do you gorgeous ladies pull off those hairstyles EVERY DAY???? If so, how do you do it? How often do you wash/set yeor hair? How do you sleep with it? How many hours a day do you have to spend...

    East Coastin' in the City of Angels

    I'm going to be in Pasadena this week, so I hope to hang out in L.A. next weekend. Where can I go to for East Coast/Jitterbug? I want to visit the famed Derby...but is it impossible to get in?

    Ain't no reason why a man can't swing...

    I know many of you are social dancers, as I am. Maybe you've dealt with this problem. My boyfriend (of 5 years) and I love to jitterbug, and I've convinced him to take dance lessons to add more moves to our repertoire. He gets all in a snit though when (during class) someone crowds his dance...
