Beauty accidents...
I decided to bleach my hair platinum blonde once. Instead of using a 20 or a 30 activator, I used 40. I already have blonde hair.... Long story short, I fried my hair so badly that once I showered it all started to break off about 4" from my scalp. I was in tears. I had to get a short boys...- Cherry_Bombb

Fashion fads we love to hate
I don't necessarily have problems with any trend... Just when it's done wrong. IMO- if you wear the right SIZE of jeans, no matter how loose or tight the leg fits, you won't get "muffin top" or "whale tail" This also applies to skinny pants, leggings (ie- sausage casings), and half shirts...- Cherry_Bombb

Show us what you've made!
Sorry all- still sort of :offtopic: Lyburnum- Thanks so much- I'm looking forward to it as well! :) Darhling- I'm not positive of pricing for the individual pieces yet, still working that out. I want to keep it reasonable though without underselling myself. I'd like to say tentatively...- Cherry_Bombb

Repair & Care of old and other delicate fabrics
New tips for old stains: 1. New Blood stains- If it's a new spot of blood (as in you just bled on your garment) a little spit or cold water will take it right out. Even out of silk. Heat up your iron on a medium/ hot setting w/ plenty of steam (usually a #5 or #6 will do the trick for...- Cherry_Bombb

Vintage Manicures
I use the clear/ purple Sally Hansen "Hard As Nails" to keep mine strong. It works great as a base and a chip resistant top coat as well. I also have really ridged nails from all the work I do w/ my hands. It helps to fill in the ridges so I have a nice smooth surface to work with. And it...- Cherry_Bombb

Sewing Lessons & FAQ
I know that the major pattern companies make patterns for fitted slip covers- and you don't have to just buy a standard, it's all based on the measurements for your couch/ chairs etc. You just purchase the style you like and they tell you how to make it work for you!- Cherry_Bombb

Things You Broke As A Child (You wish now you hadn't)
I didn't so much break it as I did ruin it... My mom and her father were super close while she was growing up, but money was tight and there was no room for any of life's extras. When she graduated from high school in '78, he took her shopping for an outfit. Together they picked out a...- Cherry_Bombb

Vintage Disapointment
I would SO say hi to another Vintager! I wish I could meet someone around here who has an interest. I could definately use a shopping buddy. It's no fun to hold up something in a store and say "what do you think?" to my fiance. His only response is "you'd look good". *Sigh* I know that!! lol- I...- Cherry_Bombb
