    cigarette holders question for the ladies

    I smoke on occasion and when I do I use a cigarette holder, because it's a totally different sensation than smoking without. And also because it looks sophisticated, of course :rolleyes: I do only use it in my home, as you cannot smoke in public unless you're standing on the subwalk and I would...

    So tired of setting my hair every night...

    Hello all, It's been a while since I posted, but I have been reading! My problem is that I get so tired of setting my hair every night, only to find that the next day the curl drops due to humid weather :( All that work for nothing. I am wondering if getting a perm would help? I...

    Ladies, Bespoke: Ivey Abitz

    Difficult question. I've got a sort of love/hate relationship with this style. I wouldn't wear it myself, but I do have to admit this style looks great on some people.

    Everyday Women of the Golden Era

    You're right, Frank. I live in Europe and it's the same here. Women don't look like women anymore. They seem to want to look like men. Because the men wear the same uniform of T-shirt and sweatpants! I would love love love to find a good looking bloke (preferably dressed vintage) but the...

    Gertie's new book for better sewing

    Hi everyone! I've done a quick search to see if anyone has posted on this book before, but could not find anything. If there is a post about, please excuse me starting up a new one. :eusa_doh: I have ordered this book on the internet today as it got such good critics. Is there someone...

    I'm rather new too so hi to everyone! I, too, had been reading for a while, but I'm very glad I found the courage to sign up and take part in the conversations. It's such fun to meet likeminded people!

    Do you have things in common with your friends?

    Hello everyone, I'm pretty new so excuse me if it's not done to barge in on a topic :confused: My friends do not share my interest in vintage, but I don't really mind as they share other interests and I feel comfortable with them. Inside they are kindred spirits and that is more important...

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    I think I better re-introduce myself : I have been here some years ago, but then due to circumstances did not post for a long time. I'm Miss Retro Chic, 43, live in Antwerp/Belgium with my 18-year old daughter and two dogs. I adore vintage, mostly from the 1930s to 1950s although I wear from...

    The extra time you spend getting ready because you wear vintage.

    Good idea! I'll try that one next time the weather's miserable (I guess I won't have to wait very long :D)

    The extra time you spend getting ready because you wear vintage.

    I have the same problem : or my set disappears in the humid weather or in hot weather because I'm sweating so much. I've been thinking about getting a perm, but then I color my hair and I'm afraid I'll ruin it if I put a perm on top of the color. Ahhhh, the woes of being a vintage girl! [huh]

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    Today an old man came to me and said how much I looked like women did in the 1930s. He said he was a young man then and he still thinks that women were so pretty back then. "Much prettier than women do now," he said. I was so very flattered. Who'd think a compliment from an old man could...

    What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?

    I went to the Mac store today to buy their famous Ruby Woo and I wasn't disappointed. Beautiful mat red. The sales girl told me Dita von Teese wears it too. And it was a lot cheaper than the Chanel lipsticks. I'm a happy camper!

    Show us your hair do's....

    Rag curls are very easy, especially for longer hair. My daughter has long hair and I did rag curls on her last week. Turned out very pretty, but she has so much hair it wasn't completely dry in the morning.

    I'm new here

    Hi Romy, I suppose I'm too used to thrift shop prices. In comparison the vintage shop prices seem high. No, I have not been to Turnhout since I was a kid. I must check out the festivals there. Thanks for the tip!!

    Creme de la Mer and other indulgances/guilty pleasures

    I always go back to Oil of Olay products. I've used every single one of them and they are all great. Now I want to buy their Regenerist 3 Zone cream. I got a sample from the store and I liked it. I've tried other creams/lotions, but Oil of Olay simply seems to agree best with my skin. I...
