    Buffing One's Nails

    I've often seen vanity sets that include lovely little pots, a hand-held mirror and a nail buffer--usually looks like it has been covered with sheep skin. I've picked up a couple of buffing files from my local pharmacy and have liked the look of the polished nails. Truly, it must be very...

    What to do

    Now ladies, I'm normally rather proud of having more curves than Lombard Street, but there are days when you just feel a bit blah about one's body. Hair just a bit mousier than normal, a few pimples that erupted on the wrong day, clothing just not fitting as prettily as you'd like them to, and...

    eBay fit woes

    Does anyone else buy dresses off of eBay to only find that they don't fit quite properly, or look kinda wonky on? I've just been on such a losing streak recently with the past few dresses I bought on eBay. Any tips, suggestions? I do all of the measurements...

    So, what is your blog?

    Mine is http://www.goodcrafternoon.com I made the name after a skit my old comedy troupe did featuring a craft obsessed woman's crafting show on local access cable. So, it's a little wink and nod to the charm and kitsch of crafts. I started it after my knitting circle moved away and I felt...

    Help my friend pick a name for her shop

    She just opened her own tattoo shop and is looking for a good name. But alas, so many of them are already taken. She originally named it Grace Tattoo, but there was a "State of Grace" Tattoo Shop about 50 miles away that complained. She's looking for something sorta in the americana range...

    Does anyone know that AMC series?

    Set in the 1940s--I think it took place on a movie set. I just thought of it and am hoping to get it on Netflix. Anyone?

    Ladies, I need your best bridal help here. I am getting married in November and found an amazing vintage dress from 1938 on eBay that I plan on wearing. $160 for this gorgeous crepe-back satin silk dress. I'm having the puffy sleeves altered to be less puffy, but I'd like to do something...

    Hair Help!

    Glamorous ladies of the lounge, how do you do it? How do you get your hair to be so nice all the time? I'm all thumbs when it comes to doing my own hair. My mother must have passed her hair ineptitude along to me because she has her hair set once a week. If only I could do that. I wear...

    Your Labor Day Plans?

    Anyone making the most out of their three days off? I'm heading out of SF to a little town near Point Reyes, where my sweetie and I are going to do nothing and enjoy every minute of it. I always think of Labor Day as that last gasp of air before speeding into the fall and the holidays...

    Long house dress/dressing gown

    Ladies, I was watching the notebook last week and saw the most gorgeous piece of clothing--the dressing gown. I saw a character wearing one. It looked like a vintage evening dress that was basically split in half and a zipper or buttons attaching the middle back together. I ilke the idea of...

    Tempted...An eBay tale of woe. Opinion ladies

    Ladies, I'm tempted. Tempted to buy this dress. I love the plum colour and the sweet ribbon work But as you can see in the photo it has some rather irksome staining across the front. I am completely drawn to the dress and it's a larger size (albeit a bit big in the waist, but still...

    Vintage-Inspired clothing lines

    Ladies, I know we try our best to get the real deal whether from hunting on eBay or even making our own clothes based on vintage patterns. But sometimes, you just need something NOW. My favorite vintage-inspired retail store, Manifesto in SF, just closed its doors. A touch on the spendy...
