    white cinch w/ gold interlock clasp- how do I find/make one?

    I hate to start a whole new thread but this is such a specific question, if I posted in one of the other threads it'd probably never get answered. I am looking for something that seems like it should be easy to find, but I've found nothing- a plain white elasticated cinch belt with a plain...

    Curls looks best when hair is oily?! Help!

    Hello all, Sorry if anyone's posted about this before, did a bit of searching but this is quite a specific question. Normally I wash and set my hair every three days. This time I've been particularly lucky (a combination of not having to go out and lots of pinning up), and I've now gone 5...

    Authentic 1940s eye makeup

    As a disclaimer, I have done some searching, keep finding links to threads on this topic, but they don't work. I desperately want to have a more authentic '40s makeup look, and I envy you girls who can get away with only applying makeup to your top lid- it looks very odd on me. I usually apply...
