    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    Do you think he could have been not paying attention and your compliments just didn't register? That has happened to me a few times, with compliments and hellos and after the person walks by and I realize what happened I feel like a total heel for not acknowledging them! I get way too spacey...

    Ladies, What kind of vintage car would you love to cruise in?

    Because I would most defiantly need automatic transmission as I am new to driving and can barely park a modern small car. I saw one in person with flower holders on the inside. It was too cute! I want it in bottle green or whatever color Santa thinks is best. :p

    To bob or not to bob?

    I am growing out my hair to donate and I was thinking about getting a bob at the end of the summer. The thing is, I had my hair bobbed once before and it had a pouffy effect. I think this was mostly because of the stylist, but maybe due to my having thick hair. Would getting it shingled help...

    You Big Softy! - Your Favourite Soft Drinks

    In Guatemala I had coca-cola and orange soda (crush I think it was called) that had REAL sugar, no corn syrup. They came in glass bottles that you returned, or you could pay extra and keep it. That tasted so good! It's funny because that was probably the most vintage soda I could ever get. Here...

    Golden Era? In 1955, for who?

    I remember a while back they actually had an article about this in either Elle or Vogue (American.) The author basically said that he thought it would be awful if it was true because he would never want his wife to treat him like either a child or an insane person who every one has to humor and...

    What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?

    I took a well deserved trip to the mall today and bought a MAC lipstick and lip pencil. I love them! The color of the lipstick is Russian Red and the pencil is Brick. I put some burts bees lip balm over the lipstick when it begins to feel too dry. I can't stop smiling and looking in the mirror...

    What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?

    Hi. I am 17 and have always loved how red lipstick looks, but I have never tried it myself. Do you think I could pull it off? Or is it too old for me? I have an oval face, light skin, (the lightest shade in estee lauder's foundation matches me perfectly) brown eyes and hair. Thank you!

    American WWII Naval Journal

    Actually, I knew about the Philadelphia Experiment thing. My Grandpa was interviewed as a part of a History channel special on it. He was so proud when he got to do it. If you see it, they interviewed him in the basement of his house. The whole thing was just a hoax, or so he said....... Just...

    American WWII Naval Journal

    My Grandpa was a motor mechanic on the Eldridge. He kept a journal that I just found. It is not very detailed, but it has some interesting bits, like he mentions the day he met my grandmother. There is a ships log of sorts that may be of interest. There are the dates they arrived and left an...

    What Are Your Favorite VINTAGE Song Lyrics?

    The internet has failed me, but I remember some of the lyrics: "Little Yellow Bird" Goodbye little yellow bird, I'd gladly mate with you, I love you little yellow bird, but I love my freedom too, so goodbye little yellow bird, I'd rather brave the cold, In a leafless tree, than a...

    Looking for a hairdresser

    sorry I can't help you out, but I have my own request. Anyone know of a good stylist in new jersey? Preferably central NJ? I wouldn't mind going to New York city, but I need something not too expensive. If there is somewhere in Brooklyn or the Bronx where I don't have to spend $100 on "atmosphere."

    Vintage Kimonos

    thank you! I have only sewed cotton so I had no idea how to deal with this. I am glad I didn't try to repair it.[huh]

    Vintage Kimonos

    I bought a Kimono in a small store in Harajuku last year and during transit back to the states, some of the stitching unraveled at the shoulder. What sort of thread should I use to sew it back together? I was afraid of ruining it so I haven't fixed it yet. Would cotton work? I got it for only...
