    What are you wearing today??

    I got some shoes identical to those (as far as I can tell from the picture) from Urban Outfitters a few years ago.

    Show us your hair do's....

    I gave pincurls a try for the first time since having my hair cut (from almost waist-length at the back, to a chin-length 'Posh Spice bob'). The result was... BOING!!! Hee hee, I love it! The back looks a bit daft as it's not really long enough to curl. I managed to give it a bit of...

    any old-school housewives??

    Haha, yes, me too! I like the comedy value of the idea of doing the cooking and cleaning in a dress and high heels with a cute little apron, but really I'd prefer to be a housewife because I hate the idea of being reliant on a relentless, inflexible 9-5 job. I have no particular career ambitions...

    Lush Life

    Beware of Lush's henna hair dye. It gets very pretty results, but it's SUCH a pain to apply. You buy it in solid, heavy blocks, like blocks of chocolate but much thicker. First you have to grate it all, and if your hair is long like mine was you'll need at least two blocks. Seriously dudes, hand...

    As if we didn't chat about pin curls enough. . .

    What, on her hair? Ick! That must have felt horrid. Poor Esther!

    What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?

    Haven't got a clue. All I know is the little I can tell from the half-rubbed-off writing on the lid! Well, here you go! (I'm the one without the moustache!) I fell in love with it because it was so smooth to put on, stayed on for ages and made my teeth look whiter! Also, I was a bit...

    What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?

    Does anyone know anything about Astor lipstick? I was in a show last year, and we used make-up from a very cheap beauty shop for stage make-up. We had a red lipstick, which was the most amazing red lipstick I have ever come across! At the end of the show it was practically finished so I asked...

    Vintage eyebrow shapes

    You are completely beautiful, you know that? I've tried many a time to do the "Watch it, buster" Eyebrow Raise of Death, and can barely get either one to move even a millimetre. No fair! I want to look haughty! This is the best I can do:

    Show us your hair do's....

    I put the front section of my hair in three smallish rollers whilst wet and left it in overnight (and all day, as the 'do was for an evening party). Then I unrolled each one, brushed it out, and rolled it back up neatly, and slid a hair grip in to the bottom of each roll, fastening it to my...

    Show us your hair do's....

    Ooh, I did this sort of dealie with my hair for a Christmas ball! You can't really see the three little rolls I put in at the front in this one. Here's another pic (also not very clear), but please pardon my scary stare! I've stopped reading this thread very often because I'm scared of...

    "Lazy" Vintage Hair Ideas

    And I want her flawless porcelain skin! There are too many gorgeous fiery redheads on this board, I'm having serious hair jealousy!

    :offtopic: "Golden Compass" my foot. The book is called 'Northern Lights' and anyway, the compass isn't a compass, it's an alethiometer. Booo on bad book-film adaptations! That said, the film does actually look quite good, and Nicole Kidman's hair is pretty.

    Who is this woman?!

    Peggy Lee?

    Novels and Movies

    I always think of the Eddie Murphy version of Dr. Dolittle as the absolute worst book to film adaptation ever. I loved the books as a kid, but the film is a completely different plot. I suppose it doesn't count as a bad adaptation in that case, since they consciously decided to revamp the story...

    Flowers In My Hair: Style and Etiquette

    There's a line in The Sorcerer by Gilbert and Sullivan where a woman sings "Love me! I'll wear sunflowers in my hair!" Not quite the same era, but that's what I thought of. (The reply is "Hate me! They'll suit you not", by the way, so maybe flowers are not the most effective way of catching a...

    How do I do reverse rolls, victory rolls and a gibson roll?

    I want hair like this. YouTube link to appallingly (but hilariously) inaccurate portrayal of 1940sness! It looks like it's held up by only two hairpins as well. It's probably a wig, so the hair would be coarser and easier to manipulate, but still. Why does it look so easy in tv-land?!

    Oh the Stigma with wearing seamed fully fashioned stockings!

    I think the woman in this picture is wearing white stockings. I have a print of a slightly different version of the pic (It's the same pose, but from a different angle), and her stockings certainly seem white in that one. It's not as clear in this pic, so you'll have to take my word for it!

    show us your lippy

    That's a Jemma Kidd lipstick, called Scarlet. Actually, I think it's Scarlett, as in O'Hara, which is kind of dumb because I don't think that nice girls in the 1860s swanned around in scarlet lipstick, as a rule.
