    Hair help - what am I doing wrong???

    I'll tell you right now what you're doing wrong: You're giving up on one method too quickly before jumping to another! Most methods (hot sticks, sponge rollers, pin curls among them) I have never been able to master, or haven't even tried. I picked one and kept at it through horrible set after...

    The Middy Thread

    Exactly. In my tutorial that Rue refers to, I have two stairstep sections. Some use three or more.

    What makeup are you wearing today?

    I got in a grand total of four hours of sleep last night - There was a company Christmas cocktail party, and an after-party at a pub, so today I am wearing the bare minimum: Too Faced's Shadow Insurance Benefit Magic Ink Eyeliner Buxom Lash Mascara NYC Eyebrow Pencil MAC StudioFix powder...

    Finding the Palest Foundation

    Yes, and they are fabulous if you want a true pink undertone. Better raise your credit limit before you buy one, though! ;)

    "Mad Men" on AMC (US) - (Spoilers Within)

    Right, which makes the stylists seem all the more talented. Using modern products to create a period look is something everyone on here who dresses vintage has to do - even the men - so I think its a great inspiration that the Mad Men team does such a good job with them.

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    That is so true :) My mum has a friend who will immediately apply bright pink lipstick when she is upset or angry, no matter what time of the day!

    New Years Eve

    There was talk about going to Ottawa for the big fireworks display on Parliament Hill, but we will probably end up pinching more pennies by staying in town this New Years. If we do, we'll probably end up at Red Lobster. :) My mum and dad will be upholding their New Years tradition of baking...

    Thanks FWGal and Lina! :) By the by Lina, you're making me want to give myself a light perm if it works that well!

    Best beauty decision you've made?

    That was actually a great beauty decision for me to make - Sticking to a signature look. Changing my hair and constantly adding more steps to my make-up routine was expensive and time consuming, and very frustrating. Ironically, constantly changing my look made me more dissatisfied with it...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    It must be that people are used to the contrast with our darker lippies. Last Friday, I wore baby pink lipstick, and quite a few people asked if I was "tired" :rolleyes:

    A Pencil skirt, Beauty salon and a visit to a vintage shop.

    Ditto! I wish I looked that good in a miniskirt! I love the way you're wearing your scarf, too. Great colour combinations :)

    Glad to hear it! Sixties clothes and hair are just plain fun, anyway! :)

    Show us your hair do's....

    Thanks ladies! :) My talented cousin made it from a 1960 Butterick pattern. I long to make a pencil version in brown velvet.

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    Do it! I slowly and carefully eased into vintage for work after I started, and now I push it to the limit every day. I always get friendly or teasing comments (such as one of the lawyers pushing himself into the wall in the hallway as I walked by, saying "wide skirt coming through!" lol)

    Show us your hair do's....

    It's been a while since I posted in this thread. Everyone looks so great! Great job with the perm LinaSofia, I hope it turns out nice. :) I have a Christmas party to go to tonight (how I wish it wasn't on a Sunday, though) and by using Diana Dors as my inspiration, I ended up with a wicked...

    Or gas station attendants period! lol I would adore having them back, then I wouldn't have to fight with the cashier about the price on the gas pump vs. the computer.

    Rue's Movie Picks

    Has anyone here seen the movie Christmas Eve (1947)? It's got a stellar cast, with George Raft, Randolph Scott, and Joan Blondell among others. It seems to have an interesting plot, too.

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    My father wasn't sorry, either! He told me it would be very annoying when you would want to use the telephone, only to pick it up and hear someone else's conversation. (When I asked what he would do, he said that placing the phone down would make an audible click on the line, and the other...
