    Best Mascara (for vintage looks)?

    My favorite is Diorshow Iconic. I have long, light eyelashes that are not only stick-straight, but slant *down.* Iconic is the only mascara I've found that actually lifts them up! I really want to try Armani's Eyes to Kill though, as I've read rave reviews for it.

    I'm glad to hear that -- I saw her post and couldn't stop myself from buying one!

    Apologies to everyone for veering :offtopic:, but do you have any references to scientific studies that back up these claims? I have yet to see any modern, creditable source state that meat is a necessity for human health.

    What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?

    Wow, that is so cool, and the color looks perfect on you! I remember reading that Victory Red was Tallulah Bankhead's favorite lipstick, and I always wondered what it looked like. Now I know!

    I just wanted to touch on a couple of things, because clearly we could go on citing and refuting studies for as long as we can find them. I thought Framingham sounded vaguely familiar; after doing a bit of looking around, I discovered why: William Castelli, who became the director of the study...

    Exactly! I think this is an important point that we can all agree on. I'm glad to hear you're doing well on the McDougall program! :)

    Weight loss options

    Hi Paisley! Thanks for your detailed response. While I'm happy that a low-carb approach works for you, I question this method as ideal for everyone. (If we're using personal experiences as evidence, I knew someone who followed a low-carb approach and suffered from numerous maladies. Everyone...

    Looks like I'm going to be the lone voice of low-carb dissent around here, but I just wanted to put in a few words. I think we can all agree that refined flour and sugar are definitely not health foods, but to me, avoiding all carbs is like throwing the baby out because its diaper stinks. ;)...

    Ladies, What kind of vintage car would you love to cruise in?

    Metropolitans are one of my favorites too. I prefer smaller cars, so I always joke that they're one of the only '50s cars I would ever be able to drive. There's an absolute dream of a pink and white one at a classic car place around me; it's probably a good thing that it's way out of my price...

    TASCHEN Publisher/Bookseller

    Wow, I wish there were a Taschen store near me! I have their reprints of Bizarre and Exotique. Not the same as having the actual magazines, but a whole lot easier on the wallet.

    Who do you RESPECT most?

    Dennis Kucinich.

    Dita Von Teese

    Maybe it's just me, but I've spoken to very few people who even know who Dita is. I met her at VLV (she was lovely, by the way), and when I told people back home, all I got were blank stares. Even people interested in vintage didn't know who I was talking about. So I'm not even sure that she...

    The Pain of Nostalgia

    This is exactly how I feel. I don't have any desire to have actually been born 70+ years ago; I just like the fashions, films, decor of another time. I always say that I wish I could have a time machine so that I could go to the '50s and buy all of the stuff I love, and then bring it all back...

    The very *pink* of perfection!

    I saw Kitten Kay Sera on TV once, and was totally enthralled. There's more here in case any other pink-obsessed ladies are interested!

    Craigslist, anybody have luck there?

    I love Craigslist! My favorite CL finds: my '50s shadow box, star-shaped lucite purse, pink and black dinette set and a vintage oil painting of burlesque legend Kitty West (aka Evangeline the Oyster Girl)! As the posts above said, it sometimes requires time and effort to find the good stuff...

    What's on Top - Bras, panties, garter belts, slips, & stockings

    Another vote for over, and I've seen many '50s pin-up photos showing knickers over garter belts. So it is both period-correct and sexy!

    Vintage-Inspired clothing lines

    I have a couple of pairs of the capris and wish I could afford to buy more. I'm rather short and have an extremely hard time finding pants that fit right, and these do. I agree that they're definitely worth the money, and I'd love to see them in more colors!

    Show us your Swirl dresses!

    Thank you for this! I found two Swirls at the flea market this morning (I'll try to photograph them for this thread!) and could not figure out how to get the backs to look nice. I'll definitely try tying them this way!
