My mom's Vodka Shortbread is ALWAYS a must! I recently started my own tradition this year with toffee chocolate thumbprint cookies which are absolutely to die for and far too addictive to do my figure any good.
AWW! That may be one of the nicest things anyone has said to me! I've never really thought I looked like anyone, from now or yesteryear so it's even nicer to be paid such a compliment!
Then you have met your perfect match! Lucky Man! It took me years of trial and error to finally find a good arsenal of things that actually work for me, especially as I have very thick slightly wavy hair.
The Dax you have purchased is used more so for slicked back type styles as it is more of a lightweight pomade. If You are looking for something with a bit more hold and staying power, the Murray's Superior Hair Dressing Pomade really is he way to go. I LOVE the Murray's as it really does have...
I've never really thought I looked like ANY Golden Era stars due to my facial features and obvious other "add on's" I have in my face, but since you all shared that nifty link for the celebrity facial recognizer, I gave it a whirl.
I LOVE it's results haha even if I don't see it myself. It...
It really is wonderful, isn't it?! It's such a perfect, classic red and it goes so well with my pale skin and peachy complexion! I've tired for years to find a real red that looked good without being garish and when I found this, I felll in love.

Matter of fact, I love both the book and the movie and that quote in particular so much so, that I have it tattooed across my chest. I know, haha tattoos aren't very vintage but they're a big part of me.
The rats really do help get that tapering at the back so they end up looking less sausage shaped. The rats are very secure once rolled in and pinned I've found and the structure they lend to the rolls in definately a major strength point. I have NEVER had a rat fall out from either victory...
Hey, if it looks good, that's what counts!
It took me a fair bit of time to master them and even then, I find the use of rats to be extremely helpful.
It's definately a style that really requires a pin curl set. I find it's easier as the hair will naturally kind of curl under itself, lending...
You could try a frizz easing serum. I normally just use the old Murray's pomade, but I'm rather lucky and have terribly thick hair (Which is also = lots of frizz)
A serum will be a lot lighter and will also kind of add the "oily" texture without weighing it down too much. I say use a few...
I just recently saw "It's A Wonderful Life" for the first time ever on big screen with my mother. It was also her first time seeing it in theaters on the big screen and we could barely control our excitement. We watch it EVERY year at Christmas and have since I was too young to even remember...
Haha, aww! We'll have to figure out a schedule... How's about I take Monday, Wednesday and Friday and you can have the other 4 days?
You know what is funny about that big framed photo? My mother and I have our "secret spot" thrift store we always go to and always find amazing little things...
These are just a few photos from my bedroom. Every time I step foot in my room, I feel so pleased with the work I've done in my room and just a general feeling of piece and well being. I would spend every waking moment in there, if I could.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do :)
The view...
I figure I must be one of the terribly lucky ones in this thread. My mother is an amazingly supportive person and is no different when it comes to my sense of style. She is the one who raised me on late night old movies and has always embraced my being a bit different.
We go thrift store...
I'm new to the forums and saw this thread and just had to post.
I made it my mission months and months ago to find a PROPER red lipstick, and a fully matte one at that! Trying to find such a thing seems to be harder nowadays than I thought so when I found one and fell in love, I bought...
