Show us your radios!
1941 Admiral 70-N6. The radio works (tried to find a nice AM 40s station today, but they don't exist here). The turntable works, too, but there's no needle. Can someone tell me what that lever on the upper left of the turntable is? One side says 10 and the other says 12. I'm guessing the...- Amy Jeanne

Ladies, what are you doing this evening?
I made cupcakes tonight. I made each one a different color with different food dye mixes. Exciting to me! I gave up going out and getting sloshed 2-3 times a week after Memorial Day weekend!- Amy Jeanne

Help with nailing an era
The average person who is not into vintage really won't know what era you're trying for. To them, everything from the 20s to the 80s is the same lol. I could be in 30s head to toe with fingerwaved hair and I'll still get the "Grease" compliment (I take it as such because that seems to be the...- Amy Jeanne

Help with nailing an era
I don't think you need a pincurl tool. It's easier (for me) to wrap them with my fingers. I guess it's different for everyone, though. LOL. My face is HARDLY "period accurate." I'm a redhead and summertime is freckle time! I have a long, slim "horseface" -- not a cutesy round face that was...- Amy Jeanne

Help with nailing an era
I agree with Swinggal...the hair is what really makes the look. The hair more so than any makeup or outfit. If I have my hair done in a retro style I can be makeup-less and in jeans and a t-shirt -- and ALWAYS have people on the street tell me my look is "old fashioned" or I remind them of...- Amy Jeanne

I made McMall 8059 today -- circa 1933-1934. The side has the pleats that create the classic "faux bias" look when I walk. Love it!- Amy Jeanne

Men in the PR -- Poll (WOMEN ONLY)
To expand on my YES: I could care less if men read or "peek" in the Ladies areas, and I certainly could care less if they had a Men Only posting area (probably wouldn't even notice it), but for me personally I'm one of the women who have stopped posting as much because of the overbearing posts...- Amy Jeanne

What vintage won't you wear?
I used to love bows, exaggerated poof sleeves, and 30s foo-foo, but I wear it less and less -- going more for clean lines now. I didn't make a conscious decision to do so lol I guess I'm aging out of it. I also used to wear 3+ flowers in my hair, but I only wear one now -- if any at all.- Amy Jeanne

What vintage won't you wear?
"New Look" is, basically, 50s fashion, which began in 1947. Full circle skirts, nipped waists, your womb on display...lol. The look looks ridiculous on me and I feel like I'm in a costume if I wear it. Others can pull it off, but I look silly in it so I stay away from it. "New Look": I...- Amy Jeanne

What vintage won't you wear?
Circle skirts. Bunches and gathers everywhere. Gloves. Hats. Most post-War "New Look" clothing, late 40s to early 60s. I love 1930s fashion and later 1960s fashion and it's all I wear.- Amy Jeanne

Husband doesn't like 1950's look...
Since I previously commented on this thread about compromises, I feel the need to speak up because my husband is not "controlling" at all. Sorry you had that experience and DEFINITELY walk away from that kind of garbage, but my husband and I have been married for 9 years and couldn't be happier...- Amy Jeanne
