    Pale or Tan?

    Fair! Fair skin please! I like looking like snow white and not having wrinkles.

    Embarrassing Moments

    oh dear anytime I get dressed up in a hurry something like this happens. Usually its the wrong pair of slacks that pinch and a shirt that comes unbuttoned at the top. In addition to the lipstick on my teeth :p

    Crimpers / Wavers?

    I do not recommend a waving iron for a vintage look. I have tried a few times and it just burned my hair like crazy and made me look like a poodle. Maybe it could work for a bob? But again, if you're concerned about heat damage I would say pass. I have seen the marcel iron waves done with this...

    Long Bangs

    me too I'm growing my long fringe bangs out now, the shortest layer is about at my chin. When my bangs were your length I would do shell bangs like these http://vintagehair.livejournal.com/260519.html#cutid1 I could never get mine to stand up like this and they would just sweep across my...

    Should I or Shouldn't I?

    Freddie's I'm thinking of buying the Freddie's of pinewood side button jeans. I have been trying to incorporate more vintage style in my everyday clothes and not just my dancing clothes. They're quite pricey and I was wondering if they'd be worth it? I am also trying to stop punishing myself...

    Finding the Palest Foundation

    Covergirl Clean Makeup for sensitive skin in Ivory 205. Before this I would just use massive amounts of "translucent" powder because that gave me the closest match.

    Do you wear curlers in front of your Significant Other?

    Wowwie! I'm all for not letting yourself go and making an effort,especially when you're cohabiting. But some of these statements are sexist and seriously outdated. I am guilty of locking myself in the bathroom to get my some of my ugly primping on (waxing/bleaching/plucking/popping). But...

    How often do you wash your hair? (guys & gals)

    my two cents I have pin straight fine,thick,relatively oily hair that doesn't like to hold a curl. I wash maybe twice a week. Anymore than that and my scalp freaks out, getting extra oily and extra flaky. In the summertime I shampoo twice,no conditioner and use shine serum. This gives me...

    Sponge Rollers Rumor

    yeah, sounds pretty bunk to me. I did just switch to flexi rods though, and I like them almost as much as sponge rollers.

    Petroluem Jelly/ Vaseline

    unpetroleum! I used to be a die hard vaseline/aquaphor user. But for me the stuff only sat on the surface of my skin, and never really fixed chapped or cracking skin. I'm becoming also less and less keen on rubbing petro-anything into my skin. I use unpetroleum like crazy. It has really...

    Nivea Creme

    drugstore product snobbery? I have been to bought nivea here and in Germany and I really think its exactly the same product. I bought a 13.5 glass jar from walmart (its the only thing I've bought from there in years, I swear!) that I tried my hardest to go through. When I got to the bottom...

    Cold Cream- Brands and advice!

    I just started cold cream again(switched back to soap for awhile...don't really know why). I was running low on ponds and it had started to "turn" if you know what I mean. I picked up some Queen Helene Whipped Cleansing Cream from Sally's ($5.99 for 15 oz WOW). I'm totally in love. Even the...

    Do ladies really have to dress old & frumpy after a certain age...?

    Exactly! I don't think anyone should stop dressing the way they or feeling pretty just because of their age. There are plenty of ways for women over 40 to look awesome WITHOUT looking like they walked out of the nearest forever 21. I think what makes me go "ugh" is when I see women who look like...

    How do you get a perfect side part?

    Rat tail comb,damp hair and product. My hair is VERY straight, I've never had much trouble parting. Shine serum or hairspray is what I use to keep mine in place.

    Hair detangle remedies?

    speaking from experience when I was little I just lived with HUGE matted rats in my hair. We got rid of them by cutting vertically into the tangle, letting conditioner soak in (I think we used VO5 and pantene) combing with wide and fine tooth combs (never brushes). Detanglers for the most part...

    Brylcreem?

    all the same I may be too late to point this out, but paraffin wax,mineral oil and petroleum jelly are all by products of oil. They're pretty much the same.

    who has a bonnet dryer?

    Bonnet Dryer The ONLY way I get my hair to curl and last is with polar fleece rag rollers. I've been really tempted to buy a hood dryer. http://www.sallybeauty.com/ion-ionic-hard-hat-dryer/SBS-303079,default,pd.html?cgid=BUYNOW01-02 At my local sally's they're about $30, which is only a...

    Pale or Tan?

    Fair.definitely. I sometimes wish I had just a bit of color on my legs (translucent powder is the closest I can get to match my skin if that gives you any idea :p ) but since my dad had a melanoma removed a few years ago, any tan that doesn't come out of a bottle scares me. That and I don't...
