    Today's Pinup Fashion a Sly Wink to the Past - New York Times

    Fine point. I suppose personal responsibility can only go so far, but I suppose I disagree with the idea that it is all media's fault and only the media's fault that the world has self esteem issues. I suppose I am referring to those that don't take ANY responsibility. Like gaining weight from...

    I am going to give an example. In Burlesque (oh goodness Burlesque again - sorry, it's what I know. LOL), there is a wave of horrible shows. This is becoming the norm, it is what is being acceptable as Burlesque and unfortunately Burlesque is getting a bad rap as a joke. I can sit and moan about...

    I am not sure how to word this and it might not come out right, but I will do my best. With proper parenting, 1 by 1 society will change. You cannot tell society to change simply by griping about it or telling other's to do their part, you do your part and lead by example. In relation to...

    Today's Pinup Fashion a Sly Wink to the Past - New York Times

    I just want to say that I have my self esteem issues right now -- I have had my food issues as well -- I am currently well over weight, but I will never blame the media for it. It is my fault that I let myself go from my personal best, it isn't the media's fault that I am not a size 0. I've been...

    When I speak about improving one's looks, I don't necessarily mean glam standards. I am talking about those who make excuses for not being as thin or curvy or as pretty as other's when they don't even try. Or if they do try... give up because they can't tough it out. Same with people who have...

    Lizzie... Please keep in mind that I am not disagreeing with your suggestions when I say the following, I am just using it as a jumping board. While I agree that these book suggestions are great aids for young adults, I think everything we are arguing here should start PRIOR to the books being...

    I can see everything you are saying and see how many do feel that way... but just using that example you gave about one page saying one thing and the next saying another. I've seen that before and I have scoofed at it. I found it very amusing and comical that someone didn't see this prior to...

    I find your reply quite interesting (not in a bad way). Perhaps it's about perception because I have never felt less than or doubted myself because of articles such as that. For me, articles like these are much like performance critiques. Honest critiques are meant to improve your performance...

    Perhaps I may be in the minority of women's thinking here, but I never thought Cosmo or any women's magazine's for that matter make women feel bad or inadequate, at least I never have. I see nothing wrong with offering suggestions/articles on how to better one's self or life. I think when it...

    Hanging your laundry on a clothesline

    I don't have a clothesline, but rather a drying rack. I use that to dry my hand wash (mostly vtg). For my sturdier clothes I wash and dry in the machines. Both methods are enjoyable and a pain for me. As I have to go to the building next door (same landlords) and use their quarter machines. In...

    does it ever bother you that vintage clothing is a deceased person's clothing?

    When I first started dressing vintage I was a bit icked that the clothes were worn by someone else, whom I didn't know -- being a poor chil' growin' up I got to wear nothing but my sister's hand me downs. It wasn't so much that they had passed. That quickly changed when I realized that "new"...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    Miss Sis... I kid you not... I once had a guy come up to me in the store (I was in dirty sweats, a baggy t-shirt, no makeup, and I don't even think I brushed my hair that day - for shame! Hey, I was sick!) and said, "Oh! I thought you were Kate Beckinsale for a second." I was a brunette at the...

    Are you still hitting the 40s dance? I am sad that I only got to go twice. :(

    I need a bit of assistance from you Gents and Ladies,

    You could go with slacks, white tank top, suspenders, and a newsboy cap for a simple back alley look. A pencil thin mustache will be the crowning touch!

    How to handle yard/estate sale thugs?

    Hah! Mike! I once gave this guy the stink eye for getting the one thing I wanted! And boy was he getting it good until he looked at me and I smiled. I'm not so tough!
