    How to get pale, luminous skin?

    I have been using commercial products for the last two years, mainly on my face as I have a large age spot on one cheek and some hyperpigmentation (brown spots) from using birth control pills for so many years. Recently I started to try and fade sun damage and big freckles on my shoulders. There...

    Big curls on the ends of hair? That *stay put*?

    I have read and heard from others that end papers help with the rolling and the end staying put, without the "fish-hooks" on the end of the sections. You can find them at beauty supply shops close to the rods and perm supplies.

    Books about the Looks

    Great vintage shoe book I checked out Vintage Shoes by Caroline Cox at the library, what a great reference! I was really looking for something regarding everyday wear and this is more high-end, but I could not resist scanning some pics of fabulous designer shoes. If you go by your library, it's...

    Big curls on the ends of hair? That *stay put*?

    I've always rollered to the scalp too. I have thick hair that's pretty long and have to do small sections for the set to "take". I believe after talking to my sister (she used to be a cosmetologist) that you really have to do this in order for it to come out right. Once you brush it out, be very...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    I get most of my comments on my hair when I have it set and do the victory rolls and a snood. There was a lady at an event I went to with some friends who was in the Hitlerjungen and we talked for 10 minutes about hairstyles.

    Nothing but Seamed Stockings

    I have recently found out proper sizing on seamed hose...according to most of the info I have found under different sites I am a size 10. This should correspond to a US shoe size 8 for my height, 5 foot 5. Only question I have is about the measurements at the top of the stocking. My legs are a...

    The very *pink* of perfection!

    is there such a thing as a not so pink pink? I've never been a very big fan of pink, accents are usually as much as I can do. A totally pink outfit with all matching accessories would be out of the question. Occasionally I will step outside my comfort zone and wear pink. Can anyone suggest a...

    "Band of Brothers" hero's passing...

    Unfortunately those men are getting fewer and fewer, I made the trip to Toccoa for the Military Weekend this year after listening to my roommate's stories about the guys he'd met when he'd been up there as an Airborne re-enactor. A lot of the Toccoa vets are still around. I was able to meet a...

    Hollywood Baby Snatcher

    I read an excellent book a few years ago about her, she was from my hometown (Memphis) and so many of the local politicos went to great lengths to protect her, because she started a very lucrative cottage industry. I'm sure if you looked thru Amazon you could find books on her. It's a shame she...

    Nothing but Seamed Stockings

    Just a note about Magnolia - I have ordered 2 pair of hose thru them, and the hose were very nice and VERY thin and light. Unfortunately I did not get to wear them as I went a size up and the feet were too big and the length was WAY too long. I would email them first on sizing before ordering. I...
