    What made you fall in love with retro beauty?

    My mother and I used to watch old black and white films, mostly musicals when I was young, on PBS. Then when I was about 17 I saw The Wild One, with Marlon Brando and I fell completely in love with the rebel on the motorcycle. I wanted to be his girl and ride off with him into the sunset...

    Victory Rolls!

    They are a bit, but she also did them in about 30 seconds each, so I applaud it. :eusa_clap With more time, it would look much better.

    Cigarette Girls

    This is modern, but the main female character in Idlewild is a cigarette girl (she drops her cigarettes all over the floor when meeting Patti LaBelle's character). I can't remember what her outfit looks like offhand though.

    I couldn't do it. I had to start over because I hated my story so much. So, now I'm at 3k again! I'll never catch up...

    Good Make Up Brushes?

    I use my Bare Essentuals brushes for most things. And I actually compared the prices, and some of their brushes were cheaper than the Sephora brushes. However, Sephora has a much larger variety. For liquid foundation, Sephora's foundation brush is like magic to me. I love it.

    Rings

    On my wedding day I put my engagement ring on my right ring finger. After the rings were blessed, my-ex put the wedding ring on my left ring finger, and then I transferred the engagement ring back to my left ring finger, on top of the wedding band. That's almost always how I've seen them worn...

    VintageGoth?

    I agree! It's wonderful how much effort you put into your costumes. Halloween is my favorite holiday for a reason. :D

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I actually watched Ildewild this past weekend. I don't like rap music very much, but the story was good, and the clothing was lovely. Both the men and women, especially the men, had some glorious suits. They showed Andre Benjamin removing his undershirt during the love scene, a detail that I...

    Video games based in the golden era

    I loved Grim Fandango. All of the buildings were beautiful, and I loved the whole Day of the Dead decorations mixed into it. I did finish it, but it's honestly been awhile. Maybe I'll take it out again...

    Oriental/Irish hair

    I don't know if they have a Sally's Beauty Supply in Colorado, but you'll find setting lotion there. It's often found in the African American hair section when you're looking for it, which is why most people don't spot it at first. The general consensus of this forum is that Lottabody is the...

    Help ! Fake Schott 689 horsehide ?!

    I don't think he was a scammer, because he wouldn't have admitted he found the tag in the pocket. But I agree that you behaved as you should have and contacting Schott was great because it gave you your evidence! I'm glad things have worked out for you.:eusa_clap

    VintageGoth?

    I used to work at a gothic/industrial dance club as a bartender here in Cincinnati. I have some clothes that would be considered goth because of it, and since my hair is black naturally, it didn't take much effort to pull off, but I've never really been into goth or industrial music very much...

    Well, it's over.

    Well that right there proves that you're the better man. I wish my ex-husband had one smidgen of the feeling for me that you have for your wife. I definitely get no compassion or support, even though he is the one that left me. But I can tell you one thing: if your gut says she's seeing this...

    I agree. Well done, LD. :p Now I must drown my writer's block in some vodka. I'm sure I'll catch up to you after that...

    Vintage Clothes, Modern Jobs?

    I think it may depend on industry too. I work in Pharmaceutical Drug Development, which for years was dominated by the old white male scientist. The dark skirt you mentioned would be professional, but not managerial. My company is unusual in that the CEO and founder is a woman, and she is...

    Our own vintage town

    :offtopic: Hey guys, can you duke it out in PMs? I kind of the liked the dreamy fantasy of this little thread, which really doesn't matter, because I don't think any of us can afford to buy a town anyway :p I was busy daydreaming about how I could get up to teach in the morning at the local...

    NaNoWriMo

    Good point. I guess my issue with hating my story is that I can't think of anything to continue it. That's where my roadblock is. I guess I could have aliens land and kidnap the main character and drop him off in the prehistoric past, where he can fight dinosaurs...

    Our own vintage town

    There's a short story by Ursula LeGuin called, "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas." I think you'd appreciate it, Miss Neecerie.

    I am stuck. I've been stuck at 6500 for about 2 days now. I HATE my story, but don't want to start over. Any advice?

    Vintage Clothes, Modern Jobs?

    Good for her is all I can say. She is lucky. (Are you hiring???) As Miss Neecerie mentioned, I guess I'm more concerned about keeping in the company's good graces than fulfilling my vintage itch at work, so I wear the pant suits and power walk with the rest of the female managers here and...
