    Pin curls coming out!!

    About hairspray existing in the 1940s: the polymer product itself existed as a resin applied to hair, but wasn't canned until the 50s. More on that in this article. It was a fun read.

    Lipsticks: The mattiest matte

    Adding another update. I'd like to add the brands Rimmel and DNM here, because they've become my favorites. They're budget friendly and work very well if you fill in with matte lip liner first. Remember that oils, creams, and greasy food will remove it, because emollients remove makeup. Clear...

    The Middy Thread

    I don't mean to necro, but I was checking up on this thread since I was considering doing my own modified middy and forgot a lot about the process. I've noticed that images previously hosted by CDot's photobucket no longer show up. My printer friendly PDF is still up, and I'll try to keep it...

    The Hair Tutorials thread

    I don't visit as often as I should... but if you can, offer a few photos of the style your looking for. I've played with quite a few methods in my day. Is this something you're after? Or this perhaps? If you're after the finger wave swooshiness on the "large" side, you'll need some duckbill...

    Show us your suits

    I think I cut myself on the sharpness of this suit. Hugo Boss is one of my top 5 favorites. My brother's quite the suit aficionado, so I've learned to appreciate great work, lol.

    Show us your suits

    My gut says late 40s. While I own patterns for female suits, there's still a similarity in tailoring flavor. I have a very specific taste in 40s tailoring. I'm comparing it to the cut that [I see here], on the left.

    Had a guy tell me (offsite) tell me my display photo is off-putting. Guess it's doing its job!

    What cigar (or pipe) did you smoke today?

    When I get one, I shall. :^)

    What cigar (or pipe) did you smoke today?

    Pumpkin spices vs actual pumpkin flavor, very different. And, well, the idea of heavy amounts of cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, and allspice are what turn me off. In a cigar, maybe lighter amounts, with a creamy flavor would be nice. Mix in cloves, and an all over earthy/cocoa, that would be a...

    What cigar (or pipe) did you smoke today?

    I may be a woman, but I refuse to have any cigar be pumpkin spice flavored. Heck, I don't even like my coffee pumpkin spice flavored. That just sounds like an abomination, haha.

    What cigar (or pipe) did you smoke today?

    It's been awhile since I've visited, but I never get tired of this cigar: Perdomo Champagne Noir. Thinking of trying [this] out next.

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    I ended up going for the shoe in the photo I offered. I should have ordered a half-size down, because the very back of the shoe has a strong V shape. Even with my usual padding, each step I took forced my toes to compensate for the looseness. It was just enough to bother me. I strongly believe...

    Max Factor Pan Cake dupes

    From what I've noticed, there still are classic Max Factor pan cakes out there. The sad thing about the new pan cakes is that they're about half the size of the classic version. It's still the same, but the method of pressing is different too. I noticed a cross-hatch pattern, while the original...

    What cigar (or pipe) did you smoke today?

    It wasn't last night, but the last cigar I had. My brother has developed enough connections with local cigar shops, to where he has VIP access to some of the best, including Cubans brought over by one particular owner. I think he's gotten me into yet another expensive hobby... I'm even looking...

    Max Factor Pan Cake dupes

    Well, for now I guess I'm answering myself. I stumbled across Mehron Makeup StarBlend Cake. This makeup is actually for costuming, but they have a good range of neutral/natural tones. This is great for women with darker skin who have trouble finding something darker than what most cosmetic...
