    The Vintage Fur Thread

    I have nothing against fur and, more to the point, I have nothing against other people's personal opinions. However....... There's something about the stoles with heads and feets that freaks me out a bit. It's almost definitely because I have a bit of thing about stuffed animals. Again - I...

    Your beauty mistakes

    I've been a victim of The Mullet too! Mine was my own doing though. I was a real tom-boy when I was younger and when I saw my brother getting a spiked hair-do, I wanted one too and kicked up a big fuss. My mother just said to the hairdresser "For goodness sake just give her some spikes but try...

    ^Beautiful!! Such a lovely colour.:eusa_clap P.S. My eyebrows are virtually non-existent. I'm very fair naturally so you can barely see them and one is almost white. Thank goodness for eyebrow pencils and Benefit Browzings!

    The very best image of yourself

    I have never been photogenic so my favourite photos of me are the only photos of me that I've ever liked - my wedding photos. Thanks to a wonderful photographer and make-up lady and a general atmosphere of love and happiness, I finally got some photos of myself that I'm proud of and don't get...

    Does wearing vintage Get you noticed by the opposite sex?

    My husband loves me and that's all that matters to me! However, I have had a few comments from other men. I don't like it! I've never been able to take a compliment and it makes me feel really uncomfortable. I had one guy a few weeks back asking me if my hair was real and could he touch...

    I recently tried Chitterling - pig intestines. I was in a shooting range in the middle of Somerset and an old gent came in with some wrapped up in newspaper. He took great pleasure in teasing everyone to give it a try and I'm the only one who did. I think it must have been boiled but I'm unsure...

    The Decline of the Well Put Together Lady

    A few years ago I was in hospital for an operation. When my husband came to take me home, I was still too weak to move much and, as I still had dressings on the wound etc., I was in my PJs. Walking from the car to my house was one of the most embarrassing things I had ever done. I begged my...

    ^ Thanks! I'm wondering about the vibrancy too. I've only washed it twice since I had it dyed and it's already, definitely, less vibrant. I'm hoping that, the longer I dye it for, the longer it will last. I found that with my last colour (a darker red). At first it would fade quickly but then...

    Hair help - what am I doing wrong???

    I spray my hair with hairspray first so it's a bit damp and I wrap it around over itself if you see what I mean[huh]If any ends poke out, I just tuck them back in. When I slide the handle out, I hold either end of the tube and tighten it towards my head. This is actually really hard to explain...

    Thanks ladies! :D I was straight out of the hairdressers in that photo. After they'd dyed and trimmed it they asked if I'd like it curled. I explained that I usually pin curl etc. but they could only offer me curling tongs so I said go ahead and that was the result (brushed out of course)...

    KamiKat - I wish I could style my hair without bangs for a change now and again but I just look, and therefore feel, silly without them now. I think both bangs and non-bangs really suits you. Lucky thing! Not so much a new do as a new colour: I had it done at the hairdressers so...

    The Decline of the Well Put Together Lady

    To be honest, it amuses me more than offends me and gives me something to gossip about! Also, South Waleians are some of the strangest people on earth! People out in PJs isn't the oddest thing you'll see around here!

    The Decline of the Well Put Together Lady

    This happened in a store not far from where I work: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/8484116.stm I love the photo of the woman in her PJs with her best dangly earrings in!:D

    Home Delivery of Ice, Milk, Laundry, etc.

    Same around here. A few weeks back our washing machine blew up beyond repair. I was going to call our local council to have them come pick it up but my husband said "Don't be silly, just leave it out the back". Sure enough, we put it out at approx 9pm and it has gone by 5:30 am when my husband...
