I am coming to London! Best places to shop?
Yes come on Eyemo tell us where the good places are in Bath! I have to spend the Jane Austen Festival there and since they are actually going to be paying me for the privilege of looking like the fairy on top of a Christmas cake, I want to know where to spend the loot! (Anyone in Bath for...- Kishtu

Is lipstick out?
Currently lurking in the bottom of my bag(purse) I have no less than five lipsticks in various shades. So I guess from this quarter that's a "no", in fact I probably wear it more than I ever did.... Have to agree with other ladies that one is not "dressed" without one's lippy. Sometimes I... -
Making mens clothing: where are the vintage mens clothing patterns?
Just a thought (and no doubt totally useless to most people, but it's how I got my patterns...) my OH's grandfather was a bespoke tailor in Kent in the 1950s. Chatting to OH's gran, she cleared out her cupboards of various patterns and boards of fabric. There is yet more to come, but we can only...- Kishtu

You Look It, But Do You Act It?
Couple of thoughts. Slightly different take on Maguire's point about "...when you're in a relationship with someone who was in 10 relationships before. And you yourself having had a similar number." I think I may have said before elsewhere but to me it's maybe too easy now to just walk away...- Kishtu

Vintage Knitting!
Lady Day - I was hoping for some advice like you just gave :) Shrinking it would (maybe) give a fitted look, which would work for a 50s look, but like you say couldn't guarantee an end result. I was thinking more things like on another thread someone suggested a belt over the top of a...- Kishtu

What are you listening to?
In work, Classic FM on the radio (lots of music and not a lot of chat) At home, working my way through 2 C90 jazz compilation tapes (from swing through to bebop to modern) in the hope of finally getting to grips with my dad's taste in music.... -
Vintage Knitting!
Knitting help! My mum - bless her - has finally completed a cardigan for me after about 6 months work. And it... erm.... it.... well, it's an interesting shape. HELP!!! It isn't pure wool, it's a wool blend, in a very bright red. It's probably about twice as wide as I am, and it's long...- Kishtu

What makes you feel vintage?
I was thinking about this the other day while making some new curtains for my kitchen. (Red gingham with a crochet lace edge, naturellement.) For me I get a real sense of connection to the past when I pull my 50s Frister and Rossman sewing machine out of the corner, set up the cabinet, and...- Kishtu

songs that make you shiver/cry
"I'll Be Seeing You", no matter who it's by. For too many reasons to name. "You Didn't Want Me" by a band called Mesh "Something I Can Never Have" Nine Inch Nails - both remind me of my much-beloved and no longer best friend, who thought, very stupidly, that I didn't. Bach's Cello...- Kishtu

What Are You Reading
Afraid I haven;t seen the "Hornblower" series Locktown, but to me Aubrey is more of an "English Rose" physically as well - I always picture someone in the Boris Johnson school of appearance. (Big, beefy, fair-haired rugby type) I couldn't help but feel they'd tried to pretty it up a bit. Tom...- Kishtu

Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage
Now is funny you say Exeter cos I've got a mate there who wants to get into the vintage thing. Exeter seems to have much more fun socially, and we seem to have the better charity shops (heh heh) Having said that I maybe ought to qualify my experiences, I'm an old goth, maybe being stared at...- Kishtu

Eyes help!
After 3am, my deah, I should hope that no one would be rude enough to pass comment. Sadly after 3am the only "people" who are likely to see it are three cats and a snoring OH. Such is my life.... Absolutely non-vintage but Rimmel used to do a gorgeous purple eyeliner. Hmmmmm.....
