    Cigarette Girls

    I've heard about cigar/cigarette/candy girls before, but I can't find any pictures. Does anyone have any suggestions for where I would look for pictures of them? :D Thanks! B

    Parasol question

    Does anyone know the name for those parasols that aren't shaped like umbrellas? They have a point on the top and sort of bell out ... if that makes any sense. I think they often have a scalloped edge. I'm trying to find a picture to post, but I haven't had any luck. I want to acquire one...

    Opinions on Victorian silhouettes

    I have a question, but I'm not really sure if it belongs here, or even on the FL. But I don't know where else to find people who know what Victorian dresses look like. My real life friends are of absolutely no help, because as soon as I show them some examples all I get is a rousing chorus of...

    Help! What am I wearing?

    I mean that literally. I was given a big pile of vintage sleepwear, and I have this one truly spectacular thing, but I have no idea what it is. It's a pink silk charmeuse shawlish sort of thing. It's shaped like a thick C if you grabbed the points of the C and pulled them out like taffy so...

    Vintage showgirls

    I love old showgirl costumes. Ziegfeld girls, burlesque stars, Salome dancers, anything. I was given the Ziegfeld Follies paper dolls as a small child, and I think it permanently warped my aesthetic. Does anyone know where I can find more pictures? Is there a book of photos? I'm not really...

    Sky Captain hair

    Does anyone know where I can find good reference photos of Gwyneth Paltrow's hair as Polly Perkins in Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow? I can find a few from the front, but I haven't found anything that really shows what is going on up there. When I was watching the movie I saw that they...

    Art Frahm and modern lingerie

    I had the most bizarre Art Frahm moment running between trains on my way to a photoshoot on Saturday. I had on a cute lace garter belt I'd just bought from H&M the day before, and I was carrying 3 dozen doughnuts and a box of Krispy Kreme coffee. The garter belt turned out to be stretchier than...

    I need makeup references!

    Hey guys, I'm getting married pretty soon and I'm starting to think about hair and makeup plans, but I'm having a hard time finding pictures of good looks to show makeup artists. I want a really great 40s brow, and a really dramatic look with red lips. Color pics are more helpful for the MUAs...

    "Glow" stains help needed desperately

    I know they say ladies don't sweat, they glow, but I have a massive problem I'm really worried about due to the current NY heat wave. I wore a cream-colored silk jacket/blouse to work today (it's a top that is shaped like a jacket) and it is kind of... very wet right now. I'm *really*...

    Open-bottom girdles and ... powder rooms.

    Okay, this may be a bit of an odd (certainly embarrassing) thread, but I can't seem to wrap my brain around this conundrum. Hypothetically, assume one were to wear an all-in-one open-bottom girdle to work with stockings. How on earth would one use the facilities in one of those, assuming...
