    Vintage Exercise Techniques

    Hula Hoops I saw one of the ladies here mention hula hooping, and I was wondering how well it actually works. I'm fairly thin but I'd like to flatten my stomach (people think I have a six pack but that's only because they never see my pot belly when I'm not sucking it in haha) and I have a...

    Best HOT CURLERS/ROLLERS out on the market

    They're a set of 24 Norelco velvet flocked rollers - they do give me curl but it's really more volume than anything else. My hair is also extremely dense though, so I think part of why the curls are weaker is because I'm wrapping more hair around each roller than what's considered optimal. I do...

    Hair Dye: colors, product reviews, and tips

    Go Blonder? This is a good thread! Right now I'm trying to decide if I should go blonder. My hair is naturally pretty blonde but it seems that for the past year it's been rapidly losing it's blonde color and turning into a dishwater blonde/brown color that looks really mousy and gross to me...

    anyone wear grey hair?

    Spitfire your wife is beautiful! I hope my hair turns white when I get older, but even gray would be fine with me. I promised myself that when I start getting grays I'm not going to dye my hair; I think it looks so much better to go natural at that point. It stinks that there's such a stigma...

    Best HOT CURLERS/ROLLERS out on the market

    Hot Rollers I got my hot rollers today... I'm kind of iffy about how I feel about them. As I expected there weren't really enough for my hair ha, so I had to kind of use them in a cycle, which I don't like because it's just a hassle really... They didn't make my hair that curly, either. I can...

    What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?

    Lady Danger My Lady Danger from MAC finally came in the mail today - I like it a lot so far; it makes my skin look really fresh and it makes my eyes look bluer, which is kind of an added bonus. I think it's because orange is the complementary color of blue... It also feels really creamy in my...

    Oh yeah, I've seen her blog before, it's really nice, but I completely forgot the site! Thanks for the link! I feel like her luau hair is getting at a similar idea as the updo I'm looking at.

    This hair? Does anyone know how you'd go about achieving this updo? http://rachelmcadams.org/photos/displayimage.php?album=312&pos=31 It's really pretty but I can't really figure out what's going on with it, partly because the stills are kind of blurry I think. It's from the...

    What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?

    Thanks ladies - maybe I'll check out Chili. I do want kind of a daytime red. I want a red that doesn't look too serious or harsh, and something I can wear frequently without it looking too fancy or anything. And that matches my yellowy-tan skin color. And ooo apparently MAC is offering free...

    What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?

    Lady Danger Does anyone like MAC's Lady Danger? It seems like a kind of orange-based red, which I think would be good for my skin. And I found it on eBay. Would it be worth it? I've never used MAC before. Part of me feels weird buying lipstick off of eBay haha but I'm sure it hasn't been used -...

    Best HOT CURLERS/ROLLERS out on the market

    Rollers or Sticks? I realize this thread may be dead at this point ha, but I just thought I'd ask if anyone has used/been satisfied with Windmere hot rollers? There's a set of 24 on eBay for pretty cheap that I think might be good... But I'm kind of wondering if I should try hot sticks/ hot rag...

    What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?

    Ooo thank you, that helps. I like the Yves St Laurent one a lot! A bit pricey though :/. Maybe I could save up haha :) I like the other ones a lot too though. I'll have to try it out.

    What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?

    From the snippets on the Illamasqua site I like the look of Howl and Ignite, since blue-toned reds look awful on me. Okay, maybe not awful, but they just really deaden my complexion. I have more yellow undertones and I tan really easily - corals really look good on me. Having a heck of a time...

    Hot Roller Sets

    Thanks for the input! The set you posted a link to looks really nice. I believe there are 32 rollers in my set. There are 3 sizes of rollers in the set, and most of them are small or medium. I wonder it would be easier to get all of my hair if there were just more large rollers. Also, just for...

    Hot Roller Sets

    For a 40s-50s look, does anyone have a preference on the best type or size of hot roller? My hair is very slightly past shoulder length, grazing my clavicle. I looove the hairstyles worn by Elizabeth Taylor in her heyday probably the most , as well as Marilyn Monroe, though her hair is quite a...

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    Hellooo Hi, I'm new here, just joined I think yesterday. I've been kind of eavesdropping on the forum off and on for a few months now ha and I thought it was about time I finally joined. There's some great information on this site! Just thought I'd drop in and say hello :)

    Do I have to curl my hair to be vintage accurate?

    Hi, I'm really new, but I saw this thread and thought of a pointer that I learned recently. My hair is normally really greasy if I don't shower every day, but I heard it's healthier not to wash your hair daily. So I tried applying baby powder (you can use dry shampoo or even cornmeal I guess) to...
