    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I saw Changeling last night. It was heartwrenching and almost difficult to watch, but I coveted every scrap of fabric - every coat, glove, hat, every piece of furniture and decor and hairstyle. It was visually excellent; Clint Eastwood makes a good movie.

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    I hear you, Marzipan. The less mainstream I look, the less outright interest I get, too. I think, though, this has more to do with the confidence of those viewing us then with the way we dress. Have you ever been intimidated by someone because of the way they dress? I know that as a teenager...

    All American Girls Baseball

    Maisie, baseball is almost exactly like softball, except for a few details. The field is larger, the ball is smaller, and pitching is overhand. (There are some other minor differences, but those are the basics.) While there's nothing "soft" about the softball played by the US Women's National...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    When I lived in NYC, I never felt out of place, and all of the comments were positive ones (liking my dress, purse, etc). Except, of course, from the Bettier-than-thou types, who annoy me to no end. When I moved to DC, it got a bit trickier. Generally, people would ask, "Why are you so...

    Are there ladies present who have non-retro bf's, husbands?

    Marzipan, is it the retro that he doesn't like, or the "being in the middle of an experiment that harshes my convenience mellow" aspect of it? I was checking out your blog and the first thing that came to mind was No Impact Man. Of course, he gave up toilet paper, which is slightly more...

    An invitation for FL brides (past, present and future)

    I know that there are many wedding and bridal threads here in the Powder Room, which gets a bit convoluted when searching for or contributing ideas. Without wanting to take any traffic away from FL, I've started a group over on the Offbeat Bride messageboard called Fedora Lounge Brides...

    Mixing Eras

    My grandmother has had the same hairstyle for, oh, about 80 years now. She's turning 93 this year, and still remembers how daring she felt when, at 13, she cut her hair short. Since that fateful haircut, she's worn her hair short and curled. She still puts curlers in every other night! So...

    Are there ladies present who have non-retro bf's, husbands?

    I used to spend a lot of time worrying about dating retro guys and to be honest, it severely limited my dating pool (other than the two glorious years I was living in NYC). In DC, the retro scene is very incestuous, and I have a personal problem dating guys whose ex-girlfriends are all either...

    How long before fur coats fall to pieces?

    Threads and linings are definitely a consideration, as is the type of coat. My mother works for the Adirondack History Museum and they have clothing from turn of the century and earlier ... the fur is intact. The pieces that have held up the best seem to be bear furs (which were made from a...

    Doesn't Beauty Start With A Smile?

    Oh, that's the story of my life. I get told to "smile" all the time. I make a big effort, when I'm out, to smile, because I know that changes the way people will react to me. But, when I'm reading, or working at my desk, I'm really not interested in what everyone else thinks. I have a heavy...

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    Thanks! Yea for DC, especially now that it's non-smoking. As a former New Yorker, I love the non-smoking ... it makes me feel less guilty about wearing vintage pieces out and about.

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    No, I do PR for associations and non-profits. I'm Director of PR at AMSA, currently. http://www.amsa.org Eventually, I would like to move to a company like FH and do more internationally-focused work.

    Liquid Eyeliner and other Makeup Conundrums

    I use liquid liner every day, but still have mornings when the minx that is my liner brush outfoxes me and covers half my lid in goopy black gel. I have to say that I LOVE L'Oreal's Lineur Intense Felt Tip eyeliner. It's so easy to hold. The other liquid I've found that totally rocks my world is...

    Take it off!!! (Let's hear what you think, ladies.)

    I know the little groove is called the "philtrum," but I'm not sure about the entire area. :) I am definitely a big fan of facial hair. Everything from moustache to full beard... but only if it's well-groomed. My parents live in Upstate New York, so I've had plenty of exposure to the...

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    Hi All, I'll take a moment to introduce myself. I've already looked around The Powder Room and now I'm working on getting the lay of the land on the rest of the site. I'm going to re-post my "ladies only" intro ... My name is Molly; I'm 25 and live in the Washington, DC, area. I work...

    plumper lips

    I've used the Too Faced line of "Lip Injection" products. There is a good deal of hopping around the bathroom, yelling, "Ow, why did I do that?" following application, so I only use if for really special occasions. For something that's not so painful, try the Sally Hansen "Maximum Collagen...

    Favourite Scents

    Stella by Stella McCartney is lovely. It's feminine without being an overpowering floral. Dior Addict is excellent, too. Just spicy enough. Both make great daytime fragrances.

    Doesn't Beauty Start With A Smile?

    I agree with you, Rebecca. This is definitely something that happens at all of the Rockabilly shows. I think it's mostly about girls who never learned to be women... They get all dolled up and as soon as they see someone they think looks better than they do, they start scowling. Or, they keep...
