    Travel

    Hi I know this is a mammoth question but I need your help! In a months time I will be travelling across the pond to USA and Canada. We fly into Seattle then travel up to British Columbia, explore round there for about 6-8 weeks and then drive back down the west coast USA, hopefully touching...

    Incongruencies of body art?

    I love my tattoos. I have a abstract padlock on the top of my inner arm, a pink diamond with a bow at the bottom of my neck and two large lovebirds on my lower back. I'm planning on more but it's an expensive art! I proudly show them off when I'm out, if anything I feel under-inked by other...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    My friend recently told me about a comment she heard being made about herself. We were at a 1940 event (lots of re-enactors which was a first time experience for me!) and we had all made the effort. Anyway, whilst my friend was being 'arrested' by the 'shore patrol' she heard another woman...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    Wow - some really nasty things said to you all (and some lovely!) I try not to get the bus now when I go out after a few too many "what the f***"s when getting on and off. Generally though, when I'm out with my friends we get ladies coming up and saying we all look gorgeous and a few gents...

    Show us what you've made!

    I'll 2nd that - I bought a pattern off ebay a couple of years ago, completely forgot I had it and recently dug it out. Joy when I saw it was a wing-tip bust dress, dismay when it was missing the bodice section! :(

    Who is Your Beauty Muse?

    I'd love to see some of those pics of Dita when she was blond, just a comparison to see how much better she is now!

    Who is Your Beauty Muse?

    I suppose when I was younger I focused in more on modern women - specifically Liv Tyler (one of the best compliments I've ever had was that I looked like her. I don't, at all, but still all good!) Now I'll definatly say Dita - but the whole package - the hair, the clothes, the makeup and her...

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    I wish we had Zappos in the UK - some of those are so beautiful! I'm really loving T-Bars at the moment! Has anyone got any links for good dancing shoes (preferably in the UK and affordable). I'm learning at the moment but I think it may be better to learn in shoes that I would actually wear...

    STOP STARING!!!

    I've jsut received my first SS dress and I wish I'd gone for the smaller size. I have a 28" waist so that automatically places me in the larger section! When I tried it on - well it would be ok if I was Pammie sized proportions! But a quick run up the side of the bust with my sewing machine...

    The School Bully

    I went to an all girls private school - bitchy as hell, something I will never let kids of mine (if I have any!) go through. We had our loud-mouth bullies who thought it was cool to be the town bike but luckily they never targeted me that much, just the usual snide comments and snickers when...

    Preserving flowers?

    I don’t know if any of you ladies could help me – I’ve heard of preserving flowers by using glycerine, however the research I’ve done on the internet seems to say that this can turn the flowers and leaves brown (some suggest adding food colouring to combat this). Is there another way...

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    *GASP!* where are those from? So cute! I found these the other day in Schuh, not exactly vintage style but cute! Opp! Can't seem to link them but if you go to the 'low heels' section at http://www.schuhstore.co.uk/ and look on the first and second page it's 'BODA BROGUE BAR' and 'IC TWO...

    The ones that got away

    I just lost this one [huh] I've wanted one for ages as well. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=010&sspagename=STRK%3AMEDW%3AIT&viewitem=&item=200058031906&rd=1&rd=1#ebayphotohosting How hard do you reckon it'd be to make one?

    Powder Room Pets?

    I miss my cat sooooo much! She's the family pet so I can see her when I go visit, she's small and black & white - Postman Pats cat Jess! Wherever I live though we end up semi adopting/stealing the neighbours cats! A coupla years ago it was a big fluffy tabby called Thomas and in my last place...

    'Cherry Bomb' from the Runaways song and 'Rock' because I like rock'n'roll! It's also the name of my sideline businesses
