    Ceramic Stoves

    Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone can help me here. I'm thinking about buying a stove for some old marcel wavers I have, but it doesn't look like the ones listed on ebay have heat control functions. They just say on the listings that they get "hot." Does anyone know if you can buy a stove...

    New Remix Playshoes - A Critique

    http://www.remixvintageshoes.com/40splatformwedg.html Hi Ladies, I ordered a pair of the new remix playshoes (The Pathway) in red and I love the way they look! I got them at the introductory price of something like $97. Here’s what I think: The red leather is a darker, more muted...

    Hooded Hair Dryers

    Since talking our KitschGoth gal into bobbing her hair, it seems I’ve also talked myself into it. I now have an all-one-length bob that lands just under my jaw line, and I couldn’t be happier with it! Did you know that with a bob you can create styles from the ‘20s through the early...

    Moth Ball Smell. Help!

    I just received the cutest 1950s culottes from an ebay seller, but darn it, the moth ball smell on them is overwhelming! Does anyone know how to get rid of that smell? So far I've handwashed them, which brought out the smell more, and now I have them hanging on my fire escape to air out...

    Fabric Preparation. Help!

    Hi gals, I just got a big package of fabric from fashion fabrics (thanks, Lauren, for posting about that place!) and am absolutely in love with my new stuff! But since I'm still relatively new to sewing I'm a little lost about how to prepare some fabrics prior to cutting. I just received...

    Dancestore.com

    I just got off the phone with the gal that owns the company (I was ordering the black velvet oxfords) and she said they've got all sorts of new colors and styles coming, including a closed heel wedge in vintage green! So keep your eye out for them!

    Lip Liner

    Hi everyone, A few months ago I purchased a tube of Tabu lipstick in “Granada.” I know I said I was unhappy with it at first, but I changed my mind and now I REALLY love it. However, I’m unhappy with the lip liner I’m using. I swear by MAC’s Cherry Red, but I think in this case...

    Is this too busy?

    Hi everyone, I just purchased 3 yards of this fabric that I absolutey love, but am afraid it might be too busy if used as a dress. What do you think? http://www.fabricattic.com/Apple%20Pie%20W0510133.jpg

    What shoes do you wear with your trousers?

    I have a very serious aversion to high-heeled shoes; I can wear low wedges, but most of the time I’m in oxfords or flats. Today I’m wearing trousers with a pair of Remix wedges, but in the winter, I’m a little strapped. Last winter I wore 40s oxfords with a lower, fat heel, which...

    Capes (not in the superhero sense)

    So, my most recent weakness is vintage cape patterns. I’ve purchased 3 patterns and have my eye on another. 40s and 50s styles are my favorites, and I’m thinking I may never wear another jacket again! I just really like the look of capes (and this has nothing to do with the stupid...
