    The general decline in standards today

    I just popped in here to look up an old member and this thread reminded me of why I haven't been on here for 2 years.

    Urgent image favour!

    Hello all, I am in the process of designing some CD covers for a series of CDs of 1950s music being produced by Yesteryear in the UK and I desperately need a photo of a couple dancing. Ideally it would be a lively dance like the jitterbug or jiving, rather than a sedate waltz, and the couple...

    Does vintage make you look.... *older*?

    I'd rather look authentic than younger. I know that cutting my hair into a cute bob with bangs would make me look years younger but it just doesn't interest me. I really don't care how much older or younger my vintage clothes make me look *shrugs*

    Does vintage make you look.... *older*?

    I think that wearing vintage throws off a lot of the cultural signifiers that people use to estimate a person's age. I am 38 and people get my age wrong in both directions by a good 5-10 years. In terms of skin, hair etc I don't look particularly 'good' or 'bad' for my age - I'd say I look like...

    What is your personal 'No-No' for makeup, hair, & wardrobe?

    I never wear beige or pink eyeshadows - they seem to perfectly match and draw out my under-eye shadows and make me look like I'm wearing ill-character-in-a-play make-up. I never leave the house without pencilling my eyebrows to at least some degree! It may even be the only scrap of make-up on...

    Interests of other lifetimes.

    My fashion era is undoubtedly the 50s, but as a graphic designer I'm fascinated by various eras of the 20th century - almost every decade had something incredible going on with design, illustration and typography. I think my favourite is the european modernist movement of the 60s. But I pretty...

    Vintage Fonts

    I'd recommend Market Deco but you should have a good look through this site before picking one definitively: http://www.dafont.com/theme.php?cat=115

    Beauty Marks

    That's a lot like my mole was, except that nearly all the pigment had gone from mine and it was much closer to my lip. I could see it out of the corner of my mouth when I talked and it always made me very self-conscious! I'm glad that you like yours - I really believe in learning to love how we...

    How tall are you, Ladies?

    It's a shame that the survey options won't allow you to have more options. 5'7" and over is a BIG category! I wouldn't say that 5'7" was tall particularly - maybe just a bit above average - but a 6'1" woman would be in the same group. I enjoy being a bit on the taller side (5'9") but it can be...

    Waaaa....It/They Do Not Fit!

    I don't buy things that I know don't fit, I don't have the money to do that, but I DO hang on to clothes that I've grown out of - knowing they will never fit me again - just because I once loved it and wore it. Or because it was such a bargain at the time! I have a fabulous little pencil skirt...

    what CD do you have in the car?

    I only have a tape player in my car and I have a little suitcase full of tapes - mostly audiobooks. Lots of Agatha Christie plus bits of PG Wodehouse, Ruth Rendell and Patricia Cornwell. Apparently I enjoy listening to murder while I drive!

    Retro & Vintage Lifestyle Magazines

    I'll second the Mens File recommendation. It's a little bit style-over-substance but the style is pretty great! My magazine, ERA, will be out soon (I know I've been saying that for ages...) and it'll be 100 pages of all things vintage (not rockabilly). We try to cover all eras of the 20th...

    How many Brits are here?

    Present! South-west London currently but have lived in Devon and Sheffield too. Make mine an Earl Grey :) Miss Sofia, I'll be in Rye for the day in a couple of weeks - what's the name and address of your shop?

    Do you wear curlers in front of your Significant Other?

    Ultimately I want my partner to love me for who I really am, not some veiled illusion of effortless perfection I present to him. And guess what? He does! I don't really see how emotional intimacy can be achieved without a big dose of honest reality. Ada Vice - I'm with you on the question of...

    Where Do You Think Men Should Shave?

    I don't believe women should be made to feel that they have to remove their body hair and I apply the same principle to men. They should be allowed to be as hairy or as bald as nature intended without anybody making any judgment. Whether I like it or not shouldn't come into it - it is my problem...

    Before and After Vintage

    I have heard it before, but believe me, it isn't something a woman could ever get tired of hearing! I adore her look and the styles she modelled (I can't really call it 'her' style) and while I lack her perfectly refined features I have a similar enough face, build and colouring to pull off a...

    Why Do You "Dress Up"?

    I don't think of myself as looking 'dressed-up'. I'm just wearing the clothes I happen to like. I do own jeans - vintage of course - and I wear them about 20% of the time. The rest of the time it's pencil skirts, suits and dresses, all with heels. I do occasionally wear brogues or saddle shoes...
