    Marvels Agent Carter Fashion

    I'm really looking forward to it! I don't watch many current TV shows but I happened to catch a promo for Agent Carter and the 1940s styling of it reeled me in.

    What are you listening to?

    Retro-extremists? What are we called?

    I've always felt very traditional. I cherish tradition. :)

    Retro-extremists? What are we called?

    You're not. :) We just tend to get shouted down.

    When is overdressing acceptable?

    If I am dressed at the same level of formality or informality, based upon the occasion, as my grandmother would have dressed in the early 1960s, then I don't consider that to be overdressing but appropriate dressing for the occasion. In pondering this topic, I realized that is my subconcious...

    Fashion for misses

    Another good movie for youthful fashion is the 1945 version of State Fair with Jeanne Crain. Her dresses are adorable!

    rooms(s) in our home for photo ops-your input requested...

    You have a beautiful home! Thank you so much for sharing these pictures. The only thing missing in my opinion is a painted fireplace screen in florals to match the room. This is just a lovely, lovely home, inside and out.:)

    Beauty Bargains

    Max Factor Pan-Stik works well for me as a concealer. I use the lightest shade, Nude Ivory 121, for this purpose. It's a bit too yellow for me to use as a foundation shade, but is very good as a concealer. There was a coupon in last Sunday's paper "Buy One Max Face Product Get One Free" so I'm...

    Clothing for Drama...

    You might want to consider finding an appropriate blouse in a thrift shop and making a long skirt to go with it. The skirt would be much easier to make than a long sleeved blouse.

    Show us what you've made!

    Lizzie, that dress is just perfect on you and I love the color! It would look lovely with pearl jewelry.

    The 50's "Beatnik" Look

    I haven't read this book myself: Bohemian Manifesto by Laren Stover http://www.amazon.com/Bohemian-Manifesto-Field-Guide-Living/dp/0821228900/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1219924876&sr=1-1 but it might be amusing.

    Besame cosmetics

    I just received an email from Besame notifying me that the Bisque Souffle Foundation has sold out and will not be included in the order that I placed on Tuesday. It's just slightly too dark for me anyway, so I'm not overly disappointed. I had ordered the Crimson rouge and a refill for my...
