    Thinking about a tattoo, but is it what good girls did in the 1940's?

    Quick Mock Up Opinions? Some of the stars are too big for the size, but I didn't want to lose definition. And yes, I'll be sure to research artists before I get the first poke. My mother in law didn't do that, and now she's got a crooked Louisiana flag on her back! Lesson learned...

    Thinking about a tattoo, but is it what good girls did in the 1940's?

    :) CiCi, I wasn't really looking for something for myself. Just happen to think all the flash is nifty, and the cherry blossoms caught my eye. As far as vintagey stars, I'm not looking for flash, but something that catches my eye. I'm terribly picky. I've talked to artists and nothing they've...

    Thinking about a tattoo, but is it what good girls did in the 1940's?

    While snooping through this post yesterday, I started thinking about vintage tattoos. I found some old sailor Jerry Flash scans and thought I'd put them up here. I'm actually considering this one with my daughter's name in the middle, though I'd prefer a star motif, it's hard to find a...

    Today I am a "Ma'am"

    Somewhat resurrecting. Today, I got an email in which the opening greeting was "Good Morning, Mrs. LeBlanc." I immediately checked my mirror for wrinkles. lol Edited to Add: And on the other end of the spectrum, a young man seemed to think I was 19. Today has been so surreal...

    Show us your hair do's....

    Sugar Kitten, My bangs reach just to the bottom of my lip when my hair is wet. Dry they hit mid-cheek. It's all angled from there as I've got a middy. Second day hair: I hate florescent lighting...

    Ignore the crappy camera shot and the exhausted look. The Monkey is sick and coughed all night. Quick snap of the curls this morning.

    The Best Excuse for a New Wardrobe

    Hmmm... What do you ladies think? I might have to bring up the hem a bit since my legs are probably shorter than the models... and I worry how low cut that might be, but it is pretty cute. Might put it on the tail end of the wishlist...

    The Middy Thread

    No pics today, but MUCH better. I used all green sponge rollers instead of both green and blue, as well as tweaked the set. Chopped the little bit I left in the back that was too long too. Hubby said I looked hot. He must have really meant it because I kept catching him staring at me this...

    What are you listening to?

    It's not the best version of La Traviata, but it's eerily similar to the first performance I had ever seen.

    Show us your hair do's....

    Mwahahah.. I cut my middy last night, and I saved all my clippings in a Chuck E. Cheese cup. Tonight, I make a rat. :)

    The Middy Thread

    Thanks Cherry. I'm fine with the curlers I used for normal wear, but when I have limited time to get ready in the morning, I think starting out with a looser curl might be beneficial to my time constraints.

    Okay.. Enter the poodle! Excuse the grumpy face. It's been a rough morning. LOL Note to self: Larger curlers. :)

    The Middy Thread

    I did it! Too impatient to wait til the weekend. Impressions: Soooo easy! I left it a bit longer than Laura's tutorial and my husband's thoughts before I curled it were "uh....nuh uh." So this should be interesting. It's set, and ready to sleep in. We'll see the results in the morning...

    Beauty Marks

    Ditto, which is why I've been playing with it lately. I'm liking it. :) My favorite beauty mark I have is on my least favorite part of my body, just by my belly button.

    For Valentine's Day, my hubby just sent me a 6 foot fox. Diesel, the Houston Dynamo mascot, just delivered me a chocolate covered strawberry bouquet. Above his head, he was holding an ipod stereo blaring Peter Gabriel. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie"...

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    In reading the comments, I've come across this. I think it's important to share and I applaud the OP. "Can I just say and this is no knock on Alexander McQueen's friends at all, but think about it. It is so easy to forget to call or text, to get wrapped up in your own problems and don't even...

    The Best Excuse for a New Wardrobe

    Vintage/Vintage Inspired is most definitely what I am looking for. I would not be comfortable in more modern clothing. (note: Ann Taylor's pencil skirts are FAR too short) Why I brought up Newport News is the length of their skirts plus their pricing. Ann Taylor Newport As much as...

    The Best Excuse for a New Wardrobe

    Thanks! Really I'm just looking for something for the interim. Something that will look nice, be professional, and last me at least until my first review/raise. Once I start making more, I'll start bringing in new better quality pieces and donating the old stuff. Just a tiny bit desperate to...
