    Guidelines for age and vintage hairstyles

    My hair is currently shoulder length but my thing is experimenting with curl patterns. I love it. I have rolled my hair ever since I was 4 yrs old. I would spend the night w/ my grandmother and sit in the bed with my comb and cup of water rolling pink rolls all over my head. I think the...

    Guidelines for age and vintage hairstyles

    I was curious as to whether certain vintage styles look better on certain age groups. I am 34 and I'm wondering if there are guidelines for what types of styles I should be doing for my age. Does anyone else feel like too much curl can look strange if you aren't in the 20s anymore? My...

    Vintage Hair Crisis

    Oh speaking of rollers, let me tell you what else I LOVE for an easy vintage look. Go and buy the old sponge curlers at the drugstore or wherever. I think I found three sizes at the dollar general. I would stick with medium to large, otherwise you will look like orphan annie. Then on your...

    Powder Room Pets?

    I wonder if I can post a link to my yahoo photos like you guys do. hmmmm this picture thing is too difficult (for me that is) :p Does anyone own a rat terrier in here? I have an 8.5 lb RT and she is a hoot. I love the breed so much. They look like a combo small dalmation, face shape/head...

    Vintage Hair Crisis

    ftworth- post your pics when you get done w/ the new 'do'. I put one small roller in my bangs (wet set) and roll it under and when you take it out you can pretty much mold it into anything you want. I'm reading a cosmetology book from the 30s and it was updated in the 60s and I'm fascinated...

    Who is Your Beauty Muse?

    Gosh it makes you wonder how long the disease has been around doesn't it? In a way I wish things were like they used to be where a curvy woman was admired and celebrated. Today if you don't look like a stick figure you don't work in Hollywood evidently. I think that may be why the backlash...

    Vintage Hair Crisis

    fortworthgal- I purchased those combs a few weeks ago on ulta's website! funny! Mine are one size smaller though because those long ones stick out in my hair. I part mine on the side and pull up both sides with the combs. You are right, they do NOT MOVE! You really can't get the same effect with...

    Who is Your Beauty Muse?

    Oh wow, no I had no idea about the anorexia, that explains the drastic change in her look. now I feel bad- erase, erase, erase LOL... but I told my husband, her legs are so thin it is strange to see a woman in the movies during that time that was so thin. She would fit in with today's bunch!

    Vintage Hair Crisis

    I think we all tend to think we need vintage tools to get the look sometimes. I can't pin curl for $%^# but if I take my shower, get out and wring out as much water as I can still leaving it fairly wet, put some styling product in (I use a gel) and start pin curling as best I can around the...

    Who is Your Beauty Muse?

    I did not like Vera Ellen's short skirts in White Christmas. I thought she had the most spindly little legs I had ever seen. I thought she looked awkward but then when I saw her in On the town she had a much better look. Younger days I guess... I love Lana Turner & Greer Garson also.. On...

    Who is Your Beauty Muse?

    Oh my gosh, Miss Turnstyles- what a hoot, was that "On the town?", I think I watched that the other day. I could be wrong though. Three girls and three guys out in NY? Ginger Rogers- especially in Top Hat Janet Leigh- Loved her look in Holiday Affiar Lauren Bacall- To Have and Have Not

    "It" - For the Gals.

    I love this thread. The photos are GREAT. I haven't quite figured out the posting of them but I don't think anyone has mentioned Constance Bennett in Topper- She was adorable and pixie-like in the movie, very smart and funny. I loved the hair and clothes. That is the first time I had seen her in...

    Handsome - nice to look at or irresistable?

    Interesting topic! I honestly cannot come up with ONE modern actor that I would consider having the sex appeal of a Rock Hudson or a Cary Grant. I think it is more about exuding manliness, maybe being a little taller, fit, and that IT factor that you just can't take your eyes off of. I...

    Loungers' Pets

    Oh I love the picture of your dog "smoking". We used to give Minnie those bones and we always told her not to smoke in the house haha... She is such a pig she would almost swallow them whole and then spend the rest of the night trying to get them down. Since she is only 8.5 lbs, it wasn't...

    Loungers' Pets

    FYI for the pet owners Hi John, Sorry I couldn't send you a private message. I think my account isn't authorized to do that yet but I wanted to post a list of toxic food to dogs that someone on the rat terrier forum posted. I found it most helpful and found out I had actually given my dog...
