    The History/Evolution of Birth Control *Ladies Only*

    Guh. Birth control is so complicated. At the same time, we are so lucky to have so many options to control our fertility, unlike our grandmothers or even our mothers, for that matter. I went off the pill about 3 months ago, in an effort to lose some weight and try to get my libido back. Well...

    Dressing a boyish figure...

    There are always padded bras and hip/butt pads, though admittedly those don't appeal to everyone! Drag queens love them though, and that's the ultimate in dressing up a boyish figure lol

    Show us your hair do's....

    Yes, you just roll it dry! Put some setting lotion in dry hair and roll it up. Mine takes curl beautifully this way, as long as I leave it in for abut 6 hours. Would probably take a lot less if I had a bonnet dryer.

    Show us your hair do's....

    Hannah, I love the new cut and color! I know it's not the same hairstyle at all, but in my mind, it really brings up images of Audrey Hepburn.

    Dressing a boyish figure...

    I'd like to second everything that Hannah said. Another option is to embrace a style that requires a boyish figure - 1920s/flapper! Though I realize this is less practical for everyday wear.

    Curlers - what am I doing wrong?!

    Have you ever had your hair permed? End papers are those little papers they tend to use for perms. They're small bits of mesh of plain paper that you fold over the ends of your hair before rolling it. The paper hangs down a bit past the ends, so when you start rolling, a bit of paper gets rolled...

    Curlers - what am I doing wrong?!

    The only way to figure out what works for you! If your curls are dropping quickly, I'd suggest cutting in some layers. This will make your hair less heavy and less likely to pull out thecurls with its weight. This may mean you're using too much. I get crunch curls from setting lotion as...

    Settling in?

    Unless you have an infestation of ladybugs. Some people have problems with that. But if anyone here has a ladybug infestion, corral them and send them my way. I have an aphid problem in my garden.

    Vintage Patterns (Ladies 18)

    Sorry, I didn't see that you'd responded! I definitely want 8847! I love the blouse pattern I inquired about too, but I can't do zippers for the life of me :-( EDIT: waitasec... does that pattern call for a zipper? I can't tell from the photo of the pattern back - it just doesn't show big...

    Settling in?

    It's funny how this happens... but I think there are some places where you're just meant to feel at home, and others where you aren't. I've lived in Boston for just over a decade and while it kind of feels like home because of the places and people I know and love, there are so many things I...

    Settling in?

    Guh... moving sucks. As if it's not hard enough just being in a new place, the logistics of getting your stuff there, settling in, setting up electrical accounts, TV, gas, changing your driver's license, insurance, etc, etc. What a pain! Well congrats on your new job! I just thought of...

    Settling in?

    Photographs! I know not everyone is way into photos (I know I'm not) but having photos of friends and family may help, as well as having various wall decorations that you had in your own place. Framed photos/posters or wall decorations would not cost much to have shipped to you from your old...

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

    Basically, you just want to steer clear of something that's obviously meant to be seen on a bedroom floor. You also want to avoid too much stretch, though power net isn't a problem. I'd also suggest one that has rows of hooks in the back, rather than a pull-on. Just like for bras, the hooks give...

    To wax or not to wax ????

    Is it an epilator or something different?

    To wax or not to wax ????

    Also, that TendSkin stuff is in an alcohol base. Who wants to put that on after shaving or waxing?

    The 'Where Can I find This?' Thread!

    Also, I think there's a pattern swap thread here. You may want to check there to see if anyone has one they're willing to swap/lend/copy for you!
