    Peep toe shoes....

    FWIW, I have a pair of Abaete (for Payless) peeptoe pumps that fit very well. They don't really pinch, rather, they just get more snug towards the toes. I can wear them pretty much the whole day without too much pain, and my toes don't slip forward. I tried to find a pic of them online, but...

    We miss you!

    I doubt this post applies to me, either - I was hardly here long enough before to make a sustained impression. Which could be a good thing, depending! :p Myself, I've been undergoing a metamorphosis of my own. Since I last posted, I lost my job, was laid off from another one after 2 weeks...

    A 'Thin' Holiday Season

    Hi, all - This year's holiday season will be quite thin financially for us, so I'm thinking I may turn to making things for people for gifts. I thought I may ask some of you girls here what you have done/would do in a similar situation...knowing times were tough during the war(s), women...

    How DO You Keep Your Curls?

    Hi, y'all - My hair will not hold a curl to save its life. Actually, no - today, by virtually shellac-ing my (Bettie) bangs, I got them to stay in a near-perfect scoop curl, which actually looked very presentable! But after mousse on the roots, turbo-hold gel on the strands, hot rollers and...

    Beauty Bargains

    Ah, Katie, you beat me to it: I (heart) this stuff. It is a bit messy, yes, but it just SOAKS into the skin, and the gloss factor - if you're into that sort of thing - is pretty high. I've even used it to take off my eye make up in a pinch...:o

    Liquid Eyeliner and other Makeup Conundrums

    Hi - I found makeup artist Kevin Aucoin's book Making Faces on a clearance rack about 5 years ago, and I've been playing with makeup ever since. Liquid eyeliner and I used to butt heads, but now I use it every day. I am most comfortable with pencils, but I wanted to give liquid lining a try...

    Comfortable Vintagey Shoes?

    Zappo's (www.zappos.com) has a pretty dceent selection, and a wide variety of vintage styles. :) I normally don't wear flats (they make my feet look rather boatish), but I like these: These are admittedly the same kind of variation on a basic ballet flat, but they're cute nonetheless! :)

    Do you have a set beauty routine?

    On an average day, I: - shower, washing face with either Dove or Neutrogena, depending on the time of the year and a buff-puff - spray hair with root-booster, blow-dry until semi, dry, finish fringe standing up, using a comb - put hair up with a hair stick (unless I'm going out, in which...

    Dressing for Inclement Weather

    Rain Bonnets? Hi, girls - I'm new here, although I've been lurking for quite awhile. ;) Having gotten completely drenched yesterday in heavy thunderstorms (it's flurrying right now, go figure), I made up my mind that I would at least carry a rain bonnet for my hair so at least I don't so...
