    Setting Lotion

    Great new product suggestion: Aveda Flax Seed Aloe sculpturing gel! One of the stylists I worked with last weekend used this on my hair prior to a wet set. I went under the hair dryer and it dried quite fast... not to mention my hair stayed in place! I had a cute little updo that stayed in...

    Thanks! Yep, I chopped the locks and grew out my fringe. It takes a little more effort to style now... but so worth it. Much more versatile!

    Nothing but Seamed Stockings

    I recently picked up a pair of vintage Del Mar stockings at an antique store for $10-- Jitterbugdoll clued me into them! ;-) I have worn them several times... those things just won't quit! I'm rather clumsy when it comes to wearing vintage stockings. No runs or pulls in them! Kay-- I love...

    Vintage Pics in your vintage threads!

    I can't remember the names of the owners of the cars! I just know it was Mike and Mike Jr., haha! There were two identical cars. They were gorgeous-- photos just don't do them any justice. Both of them were completely stock-- not one thing had been changed on them from when they were...

    Nothing but Seamed Stockings

    I am totally guilty of spending ridiculous amounts of money on vintage stockings. In fact, the ones I received as part of my prize from the Retro Radar contest were $45 for both pairs... I wore one pair, and now I'm scared to even wear the others... they are just too beautiful to ruin! Even...

    Vintage Pics in your vintage threads!

    Okay, retract my last post... I was over here scratching my head... "Nudity?" I kept thinking... I looked through the photos I have from this past weekend, and yeah, there was nudity in one! I have a couple of collages from studio outtakes that the photographer sent me... truthfully, I...

    Hey everyone, I am supposedly the one who posted the offending photo. MK privately messaged me, saying nudity was not allowed around here. I don't recall posting any nude shots... in fact, I don't do nude shots! I also understand that this is a thread to post photos in vintage clothing. I was...

    So good to see you here, sweetie! :-) I can't believe I forgot all about SIL! A lot of people complain about the price... but these babies are soooooo worth it! They are as close to the real vintage thing as you can get!

    Nothing but Seamed Stockings

    I exclusively wear foundations from What Katie Did and Girdlebound. Both pretty much stock Rago products (which I think are THE best girdles/foundations, hands down). Girdlebound carries girdles by Crown, which are a bit more modern, but I still like those. I pretty much own every item both...

    Vintage Makeup Favorites

    I was in Sephora over the weekend, and saw a cream blush by Nars called Cactus Flower. I didn't buy it only because I had a heaping basket full of stuff I really wanted already, but I am anxious to try it out. It's a rather bright color, but is a vintage looking coral. Plus I know with a cream...

    Amanda-- Those are great! I especially like the one where your back is turned to the camera, with your feather boa! Okay folks... here is a few from my latest shoots (following the trend) :-) If only I had no tattoos! *Sigh*

    Aftershave : That nostalgic true masculine smell!

    I came across a rather nice vintage-y smelling scent this weekend while shopping in Sephora. It's called L'Instant de Guerlain. I have always been a fan of Guerlain's Vetiver, but I think this one is much better. It is described as "jasmine, citrus and star anise, leading to notes of...

    Vintage Makeup Favorites

    I use Dandelion. It is supposed to be used as "pick me up"... to make one look refreshed and perky... but if you are pale enough, I think it makes a great rouge. It is one of the few products I really do like. One thing, though... I use it in the Dandelion palette. It is a tad darker than if...

    Rundown of 30's & 40's Shoes

    Thank you SO MUCH for that link! I was looking for it the other day and couldn't find it! I first saw it YEARS ago... and lost the bookmark since then! I got a kick out of seeing these on the site: I have a pretty decent collection of those... Surprisingly, I paid next to nothing for...

    Vintage movie poster auction * Rockabilly Showdown (LA)

    Any of you going to this? http://www.hollywoodposterauction.com/ I was browsing what they have to bid on... WOW! It's going on right now, but I'll be there on Sunday, as I have some friends working there! Also, any of you in the L.A. area going to the Rockabilly Showdown at the Knitting...

    Vintage Daily Wear

    Formals are my downfall... I have too many! I do get use out of them, though. Mainly for photo shoots... but once and a while, I'll wear them to a show (where I usually look overdressed, but who cares!).

    Have you seen the sewing patterns for the clothes? I have a friend that is WAY into them... she has a bunch, and has even taken the time to make the clothes for them. The patterns are to die for! Hell, all the clothes are... I agree... I wish someone made those clothes for people!

    Oooh, there is a costume museum in Burbank, but you can also rent from them, as well. I guess they have been around since the '30s or '40s, as the starlets back then used to rent costumes for randon red carpet events, galas, etc. Check out the 'rentals' link... I think I would pass out if I...
