vintage frankenstein (DIY) and art deco(ntemporary)
hey there, although i love art deco and am a purist in some things, i am also into reconstituting the dead (ie vintage pieces that would have otherwise been tossed in the garbage bin given new life vis-à-vis contemporary innovation). so, if you have nifty articles, tips, pictures, etc on how to...- chicanoir

To bob or not to bob?
haha, that was a good bang day (otherwise it's a furled mess) and you can't really see the length in this pic but it's at the ears...not the chin. again, i guess it's just been ingrained in my mind that bobs are STRAIGHT...just google "bob haircut." you'll see. thanks for the comp by the way. -
To bob or not to bob?
ACTUALLY that's exactly how my "bob" is but i don't exactly feel curly hair qualifies as a bob. my hair is more alla nazimova frizz than sleek louise. semantics i guess. :) -
To bob or not to bob?
bobs are not for everyone with the 20s being the IT thing these days, i have seen far too many people trying to sport the "cool" bob. granted one won't know if a bob will look good on her or not until she tries it but if it doesn't, move on lady, move on...don't hang on to a hairstyle just... -

Retro=Frumpy?
IMHO, novelty prints can push one over that fine line of tasteful to comical. BEWARE THE NOVELTY PRINTS...i usually reserve those for home or lite get togethers or bowling. novelty prints especially on "mature" women are ripe for ridicule...- chicanoir

Can I get this fabric in modern times?
i would assume that almost every major city has a garment district. go there, take your coat, you'll not only find what you're looking for but also a multitude of wonderful fabrics. -
Retro=Frumpy?
mrs. cleaver, you bring up an interesting point--the opposite of frump being a source of semi-ridicule. back in the day (like the 90s for me) everything WAS about looking frumpy, hello, grunge? and so people really dressed DOWN...i think that has had a small change in the 2000's but i've had...- chicanoir
