    Is Media Mail Taking Longer Than it Used To?

    When I worked in a postal service shop (not USPS), I was told that Media Mail didn't actually apply unless it was educational material. As such, you could ship media-related material any way you wanted. Usually we just made sure it was packed properly so that it wouldn't get damaged, and we'd...

    Vintage thigh highs

    The graphic design on the Berkshire box looks 1950s to me. I'm not an expert on stockings, but I've done enough study, as well as college work, on graphic design, which includes ads and package design. :) I'm wanting to say mid-50s based on the blue stocking design, and the B logo. 1960s graphic...

    Brushing Out Pincurls (For Long Hair)?

    I used to pin curl my hair when I had waist-length hair. I still got my hair to follow the waves of the desired pin-curl look. What I did was what I always do: I started from the ends and worked my way up. Long before I was into pinned curls, I've always brushed or combed my hair at the ends...

    What modern invention/innovation do you wish had *never* been developed?

    I could name several ways a no-frills flip phone is handy. ;)

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    Hi Uberak! I always find it poor taste when parents don't support their children in their pursuits. The love of vintage attire surely doesn't look like you're going off to cause trouble, lol. If anything, I would have thought most parents would find the change in wardrobe interesting and classy...

    Hair refuses to hold curl even after

    What does your hair feel like just before you try setting it? Describe the texture, how the strands behave with each other, etc. It may sound odd, but it'll let me know what's going on with your hair. I used to think my hair would never hold a curl properly all day, but I worked it out after...

    HULK HOGAN's New Restaurant Dress Code.

    So... am I the only one thinking of "Florida Man" when thinking of additions for this list?

    What's For Breakfast...

    Most mornings I like to make an egg white omelet, spiced with basil, parsley, marjoram, black pepper, and garlic. With it, a cup of ceylon & rosehip tea, leaves steeped right in the cup. Depending my mood, it may be coffee. I'm slowly getting into brewing Turkish coffee, which gets spiced in a...

    Ladies show us your best.

    I absolutely love that shade of blue! The pattern on your dress is just right. Not too busy and adds character. :)

    Quality shoes for women

    I'm glad I stumbled onto this thread. I have a pair of go-to shoes, but in a year or so I know they'll need replaced. I'd sooner have a color/style for the basic situations. I'm not one to have a closet full of shoes. -chuckles- It can be tempting... Just to make a suggestion for heel height...

    Party in my Pants Cloth Pads

    I've never heard of the Party cloth pads. Figleaves looks pretty interesting as well. That waterproof layer had me sold, lol. I've spent a half day using LunaPads when I was ordering in a new cup. While I didn't find myself leaking through the period panties, it was starting to feel heavy and a...

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    Hello classy ladies and distinguished gentleman. I'm not sure I remember how I found these forums, though I know I stumbled upon a few forum posts. Awhile back I was looking for a community much like this, though it was apparently that the one I'd found before just wasn't active anymore. I've...

    Hair refuses to hold curl even after

    Over-conditioning/moisturizing does in fact make your hair less likely or even impossible to hold curls. I ran into this issue after trying to put moisture back into my hair. You only need a hair mask roughly once a week. You need to thoroughly wash your hair afterward. The best way to judge the...
