Body Shape Questions
Same here, ninth grade was the absolute worst. I got so upset about midway through the year that I bought overly large shirts, frumpy trousers and construction boots to try to get it to stop, and that actually worked. Of course, as you can well imagine, it wasn't the most flattering ensemble...- Helysoune

central A/C
When I lived in Southern California, I had a swamp cooler, which from what I understand works by essentially blowing a big fan through a moist filter. It actually worked very well, unless it was already humid, then it just made it worse. That house didn't have central heat either, for that...- Helysoune

The Old Fashioned
Ahhh, one of my faves. I had the opportunity to partake over Christmas at my mister's mum's house and as it turns out, the Old Fashioned and the Manhattan were her parents' two favorite drinks, which made me smile. She happened to be out of bitters, but here's what I wangled together anyway...- Helysoune

What's on Top - Bras, panties, garter belts, slips, & stockings
I buy George brand nude opaque tights from WalMart. They keep my legs nice and warm, last for months with minimal fuss and run somewhere about $5/pair IIRC.- Helysoune

Show us your hair do's....
Betty, if you do go through with it, be sure to pay close attention to the color of hair dye you use. Make certain it's got either golden or red tones to it, as another color may very well turn your blonde highlights to green! Trust me, it's horrifying when you expect to see a lovely soft... -
Dressing well returns?
Oh, that's me and my family all over. At my brother's wedding, my dad (51) wore a tux for the ceremony and then IMMEDIATELY after pictures were done, he flew into the restroom and changed into jeans. I was absolutely appalled!! There are pictures of him and my mother, who had the good grace...- Helysoune

Rave 'n' Rant
A hearty ditto! This is one of the best shampoos I've found and it's just right as far as price goes. I keep my set for multiple days and still only need to shampoo once with this product. Even being such a heavy duty cleanser, it isn't drying or damaging to my hair, but I follow it up anyway... -
Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage
On my way into my office Friday, a man came walking up behind me (almost jogging, really), so I moved aside and got out of his way. As he came alongside me, I glanced over to see what was what, and he was STARING at me big time and let out this oily, icky good morning that made me want to wash...- Helysoune

I never wear jeans...
I've never had a dog wee on my bed, but every dog I've ever owned has gotten sick on the bed. Why, of all places, they decide that's the place to do that, I'll never know. Of course, I don't find it until I'm about to climb into bed for the night, which makes me irate not only because of the...- Helysoune

Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage
Oh honey, I feel your pain. This past Saturday I set my hair in pincurls and they weren't dry by the time my mister got home from work and said friends of ours and their kids were putting their Christmas tree up and would we like to come and bring our kids over. Of course, I said sure, but I...- Helysoune

Excuse me Miss, do you Blog?
Spoon's Dishes 1. Why did you start your blog? No real particular reason, other than I enjoy writing and it's a good outlet for it. I can work on it when and if I choose to and if I get bored with it, I can take a break. 2. How did you decide on a topic, find your niche? I don't have...- Helysoune

The Middy Thread
See how it's layered? This came out a lot shorter than I intended it, but it still gives the basic idea of what's meant by that description. Styled at this length, after a quick pincurl set, produced this:
