    Books about the Looks

    I just bought the 2nd edition of "Vintage Hairstyling" (well, my husband bought it for my birthday), but I've yet to receive it. I'm definitely planning on taking it to a copy shop and having it spiral bound, as someone suggested on another site. I also have a few other books, including "How...

    The Golden Era's *ugliest* clothes

    If anyone watches Top Model, there was an episode a few years ago where the models had to walk for designer Jared Gold. He is amazing, I love his work. He had them walk with bejeweled live cockroaches on chains, worn as living brooches. He is very influenced by the Edwardian and Victorian...

    The Golden Era's *ugliest* clothes

    Oh my, some of those are just AWFUL. That Ginger dress is definitely... ridiculous. The most shocking for me, however, was that hideous bridal party. Ugh!

    Cold Cream- Brands and advice!

    This is why I've started buying black and navy washcloths and hand towels. I saw a tip in Martha Stewart to buy dark colors and use as makeup cloths only, she even went so far as to embroider "Makeup" onto them. I'm not quite that ambitious though!

    Platinum hair question...

    I really REALLY love the red on you. It looks so natural and works so well with your coloring. I've been platinum for quite some time, I'm naturally a dark blonde - and it's a lot of upkeep. I do mine myself using professional supplies, and I have to do my roots every 5-6 weeks... which can get...

    Pro-Curler

    I'm going to stay on the lookout for one of these, sounds like an interesting way to form neat little pincurls (once they are flattened out and pinned properly). Oh the joy of ebay, I just found 5 listed!

    As if we didn't chat about pin curls enough. . .

    Haha, I totally LOL'd. My arms always end up killing me!

    Drafting your own patterns

    I enjoy draping quite a bit, I went to fashion school as well so I have formal training in patternmaking... however I find that I work very quickly when drafting, and I use draping to figure out any tricky pattern pieces... it's a system that works quite well for me. I did take a wonderful...

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    Howdy ladies! My name is Jess and I live in Lafayette, Indiana. I'm newly married (almost 2 months!) and I'm just on the brink of turning 25. I've been in love with the Golden Era for as long as I can remember, and I'm happily settled into my vintage lifestyle with my husband in our 1920s...
