1940's Eyebrows: Should I Try Them?
It's no secret that Rita Hayworth is my idol. I pretty much want to be her. So I'm wondering if I can pull off her eyebrows. I'm not good at figuring out face shape and what looks good on certain shapes. I was hoping someone here would be better at that sort of thing. I haven't plucked my...- fgradowski

Restoring a Craigslist Vanity
Hi everyone! I will be using this thread to keep track of the progress made on restoring a vanity I bought on Craigslist for $30. I will be properly restoring it and NOT painting it. Nothing angers me more than seeing beautiful vintage furniture that has been painted! I plan to start work on...- fgradowski

vintage for teenage girls
Honestly, I wore vintage dresses in high school, and I didn't give a poop about what others thought. Sure, I got lots of comments daily, but it was what I liked. That was all that mattered to me. You just have to learn to not let the comments bother you. Maybe come up with some smart replies to...- fgradowski

Saddle shoes
I had a pair of Muffy's at the top of my Christmas list this year because I had always heard about how awesome they were. My old saddle shoes are falling apart and a bit too costumey for me. My father informed me that the company has terrible reviews and asked where else he could find them. Ugh.- fgradowski

Show us your Swirl dresses!
Hi ladies! I see that no one has posted in this thread for quite some time! I'm bringing it back to our attention. I just bought my first Swirl dress from a shop in Michigan City, IN. It's a rather strange one too. It's bright blue with a beefeater patch sewn onto the pocket. Here is a picture...- fgradowski

Ladies, what are you doing this evening?
I returned back to my college apartment after visiting family this weekend. When I got back from the grocery store the 'Easter bunny' was in my front yard. A rather chubby wild rabbit is apparently the Easter bunny. Tehehe. I made a rather delicious dinner of zucchini patties and steamed brussel...- fgradowski

What vintage won't you wear?
ArtGirl---Cap sleeves are horrible! They almost never fit me right and they make my arms look massive. Bleh. It doesn't matter how cute the rest of a dress is, if it has cap sleeves I won't even consider buying it.- fgradowski

The Middy Thread
I use the blue ones. I'd like to go up a size though. I was almost late to class because I had so much brushing to do! I wash my hair at least every other day. I have very greasy hair, and I just can't bring myself to let it go for very long especially with the pomade and hairspray in it. It...- fgradowski

The Middy Thread
Saturday I asked for a longer style middy haircut like that of the 1940's Hollywood starlets. (Namely Rita Hayworth) Today I had the chance to style it MY way with my foam rollers since on Saturday they used a curling iron and I looked more like Farrah Fawcett than anyone. I think it turned...- fgradowski

Excuse me Miss, do you Blog?
If you like weird novelty clothing, my new blog post features a cardigan that my fiance gifted me for Valentine's Day. It has a poodle on it! It's been a while since my last blog post. I was having computer issues that have since been resolved. starofthecity12.blogspot.com- fgradowski

Vintage inspired jewellery, yay or nay?
I know that many people really love Dazzalite. If you know of the pin-up Cherry Dollface, she has many earrings from that company and is friends with the owner. They're not my style, therefore I don't own any of their products. I can't testify for quality personally, but I would trust Cherry's...- fgradowski

Golden Era Women's Names
My mom told me many years ago to never name an animal something I like as a child's name. She said she made that mistake with her goat and her cat. So far I have pets named Jameson and Edison. Names I wouldn't want for my children, but are cute enough for my little piggies. My first born son...- fgradowski

Vintage neon signs
My hometown's movie theater apparently used to have a neat looking sign. It's all the way to the left of the picture. As you can see the new signage is very ugly. Haaa. And then there's the awesome sign at the Buskirk Chumley here in Bloomington: Old signage is so much more appealing than...- fgradowski
