    D-Day 6th June 1944

    My husband and I are about to embark on a 10 day tour of French WWI/II sites. We're getting a ferry (from UK) to Cherbourg and making our way East to visit the landing beaches, American Cemetary etc. We're staying in Arromanches for a few nights. We're then making our way up to the Somme to...

    Henna hair dying

    My natural hair colour is a mousy blonde so the regrowth doesn't stand out too much. The beauty of the henna is that, as it's not damaging and it's cheap I just redye my whole head again. Now that I've used it a few times, I find it much easier to apply than chemical dyes as you can kinda just...

    Henna hair dying

    I've recently started to henna my hair with Lush Caca Rouge after a "red to platinum in 2 weeks" disaster. I can't believe I haven't used it before. So many years wasted on ineffective chemical dyes. I've always craved the lovely coppery flame colour it's given me and could never quite achieve...

    As if we didn't chat about pin curls enough. . .

    Fraulein, I think I remember reading that you henna your hair? Could I ask, do you henna your eyebrows too? They're such a perfect match! Sorry to go off topic.

    Going vintage from a shaved head...

    Christi - that wig is awesome! I would love to shave my head just to start afresh but it just wouldn't suit my chubby little face! I'd love to see photos of your shaven heads ladies. Please share!

    Bobby Pins

    How strange?! I've always done zigzag up without ever knowing why. Will be trying them down from now on.

    Retro style wedding invites

    Hi Grant Fan, Not long to go! Have you considered making your own? Me and mine made our own invites, place cards, table planner etc. It took a few evenings of sitting around drinking wine with friends and family and scalpels! We were really pleased with the result and it only cost us £35 ($55)...

    Vintage Manicures

    I usually do them by hand after trying, and failing, using stickers. I saw a You Tube tutorial but, very unhelpfully, can't remember what it was called/ who did it etc. Basically paint diagonally up each side of your nail to leave a wide triangle and then fill in the tip of the triangle to form...

    London Shopping?

    Hi Kamikat, I rarely go to London and, to be honest, the only shop I've had time to visit the last time I went was Vivien of Holloway - http://www.vivienofholloway.com/?gclid=CNngvaGr1a8CFWwntAodYwTccA I did find these guides which may be of some use...

    The Raven

    Went to see it a few weeks ago. I really enjoyed it. Cusack is great as always and it was a really watchable mystery/thriller. I don't think it was outstanding but there was nowt wrong with it.

    Help dating a picture and clothes

    There's a website that helps to date photographs: http://www.photodetective.co.uk/Index.html It's British but I guess hair/clothing styles would be roughly the same? It's an interesting website in it's own right but I can see it would be very useful for putting a date on photographs.

    Good Resource Website?

    Oops! It did cross my mind to have a browse through to see if it had been posted before but completely forgot!

    Good Resource Website?

    Found this website and thought it may be interesting to some of you. It's a gallery of high quality golden era movie scans. I found it interesting for good quality close-ups of actresses hair/ make-up etc. http://www.doctormacro.com/Galleries.htm Laura.
