As far as "Golden Era" specifically, I think of it as referring to 1930-1945. The word "Vintage", to me, captures the entire era of 1920-1965. I think after 1965 things started to become a lot more "modern"; it's like after the shooting of JFK in 1963 the world sort of lost its innocence--or at...
No pictures but a happy story...
About three weeks ago I trimmed and re-layered my hair, with the shortest layers at my chin and the longest about four inches below my shoulder. Last Thursday I finally decided to set it for an impending swing dance :D and left the set in for eighteen hours to...
I'm not a mother, but can I pop into this thread for a moment? I'm currently a personal care assistant for the disabled, it is NOT a glamorous job and I get tired of wearing jeans & Tshirts all the time. Does anyone have any suggestions for glamming things up a little? Just to lift my spirits...
I mustered up the courage to finally wear a hat (besides the unobtrusive beret) out to run errands the other day...a wide-brimmed red felt. I got a lot of funny looks in Wally World (and no wonder!) but at the antique store a lady stopped me and said, "Your hat is beautiful!" Which, of course...
I am having the exact same problem sportell! I want to make my own suit but I don't know how. I'm not very good with knits. I don't think cotton would be a good thing to wear in the water but I simply don't know. I'm wondering how to use a modern spandex with a vintage pattern, or if I should...
I don't own:
-any type of social networking account, including Twitter
-any iTechnology
-hoodies
-skinny jeans
-moon boots (otherwise known as Uggs)
-video games
-oversized metallic purses
-texting, camera or videos on my cell phone
-acrylic nails or any other sort of fake body part
-anything...
I was quite shy unless I actually knew someone, and then I could be very boisterous. (I guess I still am that way!) I remember being quite bossy. I was always usually the "good kid" in school who did all her work and never got into trouble...and I got branded with that for pretty much my entire...
I dream a lot about things that could potentially be plays or books...I mean, plots. I have based many of my stories on bits of dreams that really stood out to me. Kinda weird...
This morning, right before I woke up, I was dreaming about sewing a black & white checked circle skirt and matching...
I'm friendly with just about everybody, but I have to know someone a long time before I can open up to them. Thus, I have one very best friend, a small circle of really good friends with the same interests, and a wider circle of acquaintances on the internet, with the same interests. I'm happy...
Stardust (Michael Buble's version)--MAJOR chills the first time I heard it! My favorite song ever. :D
the Sound of Silence by Simon & Garfunkel and Lost by Michael Buble both make me tear up *sniff*
Amazing Grace by Celtic Woman--again with the chills
My name is Virginia--I'm in high school--and I have yet to meet someone named Virginia under the age of 50. Equally uncommon is my nickname, Ginny (spelt that way, I mean. I run into a lot of "Jennys" and it's very frustrating--no one pronounces my name right!). I was thrilled as a kid when my...
Lovely hairdos, ladies! This thread is so inspiring. :)
I have a question, what length of hair would look best with a heart-shaped face? Mine is currently about four inches past my shoulder and it isn't holding curls well, and I think shorter hair would make it easier to achieve a more visibly...
I want to know how she keeps her hair so put-together and never wispy or out of place! *envy* She has the nicest sets![hair sets, so you know what I mean...l o l]
Thanks, everyone. :) I love coming here, you all are so encouraging.
I know I came off sounding rather bitter in my first post, but that wasn't intentional; I was just ranting and I had nowhere else to rant. :o I didn't mean to 'air my dirty laundry' so to speak; I've rather an aversion to...
Sorry I don't know exactly where to put this...
I was put into a situation today with a bunch of other teenagers whom I don't know. Of course they're all typical teenagers by today's standards, and I have absolutely nothing in common with them. Which is fine by me. I prefer being an...
