I didn't go to prom—I was pretty shy in high school.
Lolita, when that movie came out, everyone took to calling my good friend and I “Romy and Michelle,” as we looked a bit like them. How funny that you and your friend went as that pair to prom. :)
I watched this yesterday and I agree with you--some of the styles that the judges thought were 'period perfect' were pretty lackluster to me. In particular, the 1940s interpretation was pretty bad (and certainly not helped by her outfit), and I thought the 1920s style looked very messy and...

Shearer, that color actually looks very nice on you. It matches your dress perfectly, too. :)
And Bella, I accidentally swept up some Black Pearl eye shadow along with the blush just the other day, and then had a time of it getting the black smudge of my cheek. lol
Congratulations, GoldLeaf!
I suggest looking for some vintage maternity wear or patterns instead of purchasing the items you are eyeing. The nice thing about 1930s-40s maternity clothing is that is was designed to grow with you, and many styles do not look like maternity clothing at all...
Lovely flowers, ladies! And what a great way to store them, Babydoll. I think I am going to make use of that idea. :)
Here are some of my hair flowers:
Spring cherries, too;):
I am, Bella. But I think this little number will be sure to fit! ;)
By the way, Daisy, we can never have too many black dresses in our closets, can we. ;)
Now, now ladies! ;)lol
Though I do believe that we wear the same size shoe, Lolita. Maybe I should lock those shoes up...lol
Thora, I love the second pair as well. Those are super cute!

As for Port Halcyon, I believe their store has connections with a New York shop. I know the girl who was helping with it works with a posh store there; the prices are supposed to be higher in that area (just like in CA). I'd say there are a number of online...

It looks very nice on you, and that is certainly a color I could wear as well (the brighter, the better for me. :)) It would be neat if they came out with a Shocking Pink shade, like NARS did in tribute to Schiaparelli. I think that would be another fun color to wear when feeling really bold. :)
