    Disney's Carousel of Progress

    My husband and I went to Disney World last year for our honeymoon and of course I dragged him on the Carousel of Progress!!! I love it but I will admit that the song is a little repetitive :p. The Haunted Mansion is also still one of my favorite rides. Why mess with a good thing? I really hope...

    The Wifely Duties

    I will start by saying that I haven't read through 2/3rds of this thread but had to add my two cents :D My husband and I have been married for almost a year (Halloween!) and have decided we don't want to wait much longer to start a family. We have bought a house which is saving us money every...

    What makeup are you wearing today?

    Ok, this motivated me to go allllll the way upstairs and dig through my makeup bowl! Oh, and actually post something rather than lurk :p First of all, Fortworthgal, I really, really wish I could look that fresh-faced with or without makeup! I also love that lipstick color: when you said Julie...

    Vintage Manicures

    Zombi, that's beautiful! I had that stuff on for my wedding and it lasted through the two week honeymoon as well. I loved that it didn't budge or rub off on anything. I wish I could have that manicure all the time and it's so cool that they were able to make it work with the half moons.

    Vintage and Childfree

    I tend to be rather old-fashioned in my way of thinking about marriage and children. We got married last October and would really love to start a family but finances just aren't where we'd like them to be yet. However, I am glad that we had a longer engagement and now have this time, just to be...

    Your favorite movie quotes

    From "West Point Story"; Eve Dylan (Virginia Mayo) and Elwin "Bix" Bixby (James Cagney) are discussing whether or not to include a woman as the princess in an all-male play at the military academy: Eve: "Well on woman couldn't hurt..." Bix: "That's what Adam said, Eve!" ******** "Why's the rum...

    songs that make you shiver/cry

    Queen is a big thing for me; to me it means my dad and most of their songs are more of a connection thing "My Melancholy Blues" and "Love of My Life" have been known to tear me up. I have lyrics from "The Show Must Go On" tattooed on my back. I always, always cry during "The Star Spangled...

    What do you collect other than Hats

    Wow, you guys (this thread does seem dominated by guys) have some awesome stuff! I don't have the dedication to be a true collector... I like odds and ends, a little bit of everything and that's the kind of house I grew up in (it is crammed with stuff, I call it half museum, half junk shop!)...

    I LOVE my DivaCup! Not for guys...

    chiming in Just wanted to chime in: I also have a diva cup and to be quite honest, haven't used it in ages but LOVED it. I never had any problems with leakage or insertion/removal but I have an average to light period (I think). I do however, always use my cloth pads (homemade :D)... ladies, if...

    Show us your vintage home!

    Sorry to hear about your move Rue! Your house is one of the biggest inspirations on here and I know you'll make wherever you go a home just as cozy.

    What is your personal 'No-No' for makeup, hair, & wardrobe?

    HadleyH, I have one thing to say about your reply: Hammer Time! Sorry, I couldn't resist... I forgot that they were trying to reintroduce those horrible pants! And to stay on topic, I haven't given it too much thought and am in a more eclectic fashion period right now but here it goes: No...

    Starting on red lipstick ;)

    When I first started wearing vintage red lipstick to work, my assistant manager would constantly ask if my lipstick was bright enough and other catty comments like that. It was easy to disregard, when closer, more honest coworkers told me that with my hair/skin I could pull it off. Now, if I...

    Vintage Weddings

    *sigh* all of you ladies have such wonderful ideas and beautiful dresses! AmateisGal: that's such a great idea and I think 40's is ideal because you can have so much fun whether on a budget or not. I totally agree with you about wedding debt! My budget has been blown out of the water but my...

    Vivien of Holloway

    Thank you ladies for the input! I'm going to keep looking but I suspect I'll come back to those dresses.... it's exactly what I'm looking for. I'm glad to hear that the quality is worth it too. KittyT: thanks for the darts idea... I usually just suck it up whenever something's slightly off...
