Need a wool blanket for my bed
I'll have to support the wool military blanket, I use one of many that my grandfather absconded with during his time in the navy, in addition to an old quilt, ikea down comforter and a fleecy blanket from walmart. All in all a most snuggly sleeping experience.- K.McG

Dita Von Teese
I want sparkly shears!!! One of the first things you learn when working with period costumes and corsetry, is in case someone passes out or can't breathe, don't bother trying to unlace, just cut the laces, because they can easily be replaced, a garment or person on the other hand, not so easy...- K.McG

What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?
I use Red Revival as well! I really love it! Is it odd that I like how it smells? I also use NYC Retro Red, but my newest tube must have melted some how and is now a mess, need to figure out a way to fix that. -

1920s - fashion with fun, whimsy and chic
wooooooooow Mojito, that dress is amazing!!!! Ombre dyed dresses hold a spot in my heart! I am nowhere near being the right proportions to pull off the 20's styles, but I do like to look at them.

Dumb question about red hair!
It does require a fair bit of upkeep, Sulfate free shampoos and so on. Red fades quickly, but is a pain to cover up or remove, short of dying your hair a dark colour or cutting it. I like to go the route of cold water washing, and maybe washing twice a week. I want to look into dry shampoos as... -
