    Help! Where is my hair going???

    Well, I'm from England, but directly before I lived in Russia for six months... Yep, we say hard and soft water too! The water here is no harder that the water in St. Petersburg, or the water in Cambridge... I still pine for the soft water of South Yorkshire, but I'm not sure it is that... I...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    A guy from uni said to me today, "You know, you're the most stylish person I know." Awww. Would be even nicer if he wasn't a bit creepy!

    What did you do in the war Daddy...?

    I think they made the flag a lot bigger too? I did go to a seminar about photographs as historical sources, but it was a couple of years ago and they didnt talk about it for very long... pretty cool though! What are the chances, eh?

    What did you do in the war Daddy...?

    Don't forget - it's not just old people you have to ask! I am a student of German and Russian, and worked this summer teaching English in Russia. Guess who I taught? Only this guy's Granddaughter!

    Brooches

    Please feel free to merge this thread if there's another one the same - I did have a search, but I never seem to get any proper results! So, last time I was at my Grandma's house, she gave me some brooches that were hers and my Great-Grandma's. They're beautiful, but I've not had them for...

    I suppose we forget that clothes were off-the-peg and lots of women had the same thing back then too - or at least, I do! Still, it's amazing that two of the same thing have both survived!

    What Vintagey things do you like doing?

    I was really lucky, got mine in a charity shop - a bargain... but it's not all glamour; the fire isn't real ;)

    Eye shadow

    I actually wanted to ask about eyeshadow - was thinking about starting a thread myself! Can anyone tell me the amount/lack thereof of sparkle in women's eyeshadows "back in the day"? Sparkly eyeshadow always makes me feel terribly un-vintage, but almost everything has sparkle in it nowadays!

    Fur Scarves and Fur Collars

    I have a little real fur collar which I was originally planning to sew onto a jacket or a cardie, but which I have since decided looks best worn as a scarf with my London Fog mac... I looked at Caseys tutorial and it doesn't look too bad at all - really looking forward to trying it out when...

    What Vintagey things do you like doing?

    Well as a matter of principle I do all my cooking and cleaning in high-heels! Even if I was wearing sensible shoes or walking around the house barefoot, I put my heels on to cook or clean... keeps me in practise at walking in them and makes a boring task a lot more fun! I am a good cook...

    The Rum Diary

    I'm with Mr. Vim - they shoved in some bits which are not in the book... which wouldn't bother me if they added to the film in some way, but they detracted from them. Also, parts of the book which I thought were very grim and desperate were kind of brushed over in the film. It was worth seeing...
