    As A Kid, What Were You Like?

    I was very outgoing (kind of the opposite of what I am now, booo). My family and I used to live in a block of apartments, and I used to go to every single apartment (there must've been 70 or so) and I would knock on every door, and ask the people if there were any kids in there that I could be...

    Amusing quotes from people mis-dating you

    I don't know how 'mis-dated' this would be. But when I was at work a few years back, I decided I'd go in with my red lips, curled hair (which I'd done the night before using the rag curl technique). I wore a black dress with little white flowers on, and I think blue 40's style wedges. Anyway...

    What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?

    Well I splurged, because I used to have Revlon lipstick but it made my lips feel really dry. So I went and got myself Dior Rouge Flamboyant Blazing Red...I haven't worn it for a while, and I really miss it.

    How many colors have you dyed your hair?

    I was always too scared to colour my hair, because I didn't like the idea of it being damaged. Thus, I haven't coloured it...well, I have, but only once. I have naturally dark brown hair, and only went a shade lighter. It looked pretty nice. I also decided to have some highlights in my hair, and...

    Cigarette ads

    Somehow, people in those days could actually make smoking look stylish. I like some of the ads, though...very colourful.

    Vintage mens Bathing Suits and Swim Trunks

    How many of you are vintage when swimming? So, how many of you ladies and gents have vintage style swimming attire? And how many of you go 'vintage style' when swimming? I bought myself a swimming costume the other day, and was quite delighted when my mother told me it was so 'olden day' style!
