    Questions, questions

    The repo dresses at Daddy-O's are mostly from Stop Staring and I agree that they are a bit pricy, though I have found that they are well made. I myself would prefer to make my own clothes but finding patterns is difficult for me. I have found a few online but on ebay I have been outbid for...

    What's your favorite era for fashion?

    I cant decide which era is my favorite, they all have their special qualities. The respect the 20s for their liberation and experimentation. I love the 30's for their elegance. The really like the 40's for their fashionable practicality and then celebration of freedom.

    Questions, questions

    I too am curvy, even more so after the birth of my daughter 4 months ago. Im betweena modern 16 and 18 but am hoping that with time I can at least get back to 12-14 if not further.

    "1940's Hairstyles" The book will break the bank

    Yuba Community College. My grandfather, a former vietnam war POW, lives there and I moved there to be closer to him, get to know him and his life and its always easier to move to a new location if you know someone who can tell you where to get the best burger and cheapest gas.

    I guess I'm a bit jaded by too many relationships gone bad, but its so refreshing to hear you going to such length for your gal.
