    Those flared 60's coats

    I've always liked hanging out at the local mod clubs... I dress 30s 40s most of the time, though 60's sometimes though I like my own look. I do however have to say i admire the look of women in flared coats from the 60's. It's very flattering to my eye. A stark contrast to the fitted forms women...

    Is lipstick out?

    I was talking to a makeup artist today and according to her women just aren't slapping on the color like they were even just a year ago. So I ask you... are you less likely to wear lipstick than you were a few years back, and do you think it's going to die out and should it or shouldn't it?

    When someone from your family went to a far off place and when they came back you'd admire their journey in a dark room as they told their story and showed you slides?
