    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    Like these, that I've been coveting for ages, at times visualising them with seamed fully-fashioned stockings, and at times with those thick support hose that my mum used to wear for varicose veins! :eeek: Either way, I still want them...

    New Zealand Art Deco

    We really loved, and would prefer the "small town" aspects of both Napier and Nelson and their surrounding areas, but the other half's profession (acoustic engineer) we'll probably end up in one of the bigger cities. I think Christchurch would be likely, given all of the reconstruction going on...

    New Zealand Art Deco

    I've been away from the Lounge for quite a few months now for various reasons (my first time logging back in and it feels like home already!), and we've just been on a reccie to NZ, with a view to possibly emigrating. A way too short 2 weeks there, during which we fell head-over-heels with the...

    Besame cosmetics

    Hello Frenchy56, I'm so sorry, I've not been in the Lounge for a few weeks. At the moment there is another sale but it ends at midnight! 25% with the code LABOR12. If you get on their mailing list, they seem to have these sales pretty frequently. I hope that this helps!

    Besame cosmetics

    And they get a funny smell, too, when they're old. Not good. I wish they'd go back to the smaller models, too. They were something special.

    A commercial that promotes the worst of today

    Also very late to the rock party and not wishing to participate in the fray but here - I kept being equally rerouted but I knew what all of the hoo-ha was about as soon as I saw this: http://www.regretsy.com/page/2/ I propose another profit-gathering idea: how about attaching knobs to...

    Glad someone could take advantage of it! Let us know how you get on with it, Red Diabla.

    Besame cosmetics

    Thanks for the heads up, Isis. I normally do buy from there, too, and they do stock it, but I was hoping to get it for $11 rather than £22! Oh, well!

    Besame cosmetics

    http://www.luckymag.com/blogs/luckyrightnow/2012/07/DOTD-Besame-Brightening-Violet-Powder I just stumbled upon this and I don't know if it actually works as I'm in the UK and can't order via Besame's website (grrrrrrrr!), but I hope this can benefit someone here...

    How do you stay inspired during uninspiring times?

    That's why I make a daily visit to the Lounge, Flicka, even if these days I've been doing more "lurking" than "chiming in". More often than not when I walk out the front door I feel more like an observer from another planet than an active part of the society of the beings around me (but given...

    Do you mean Fleur de Guerre, dhermann1? ;) Welcome to the Lounge, Emma! Yes, there are a few Londoners here. Maybe someone will suggest some kind of Londoners get-together if ever Summer begins...?

    Classic 1950's Sci-Fi> Should we redo them today?

    :eusa_clap That is definitely the danger with most remakes. Lazy, lacklustre scripts and character development which are ineffectively covered over by technology which makes most everything look like a video game... I can't think, with the exception of John Carpenter's The Thing (and to a...

    Do you think it is sexy if a man dresses in Vintage clothes?

    In order of drool-worthiness: Vintage suit ('30's to '50s) Well-cut modern suit (stovepipe-y trousers excluded) Any suit jeans and tee (rockabilly-style) Modern male casual (i.e. dressing like your son or grandson) is just not on my drool radar. (By the way, I don't drool for real...

    The best face powder in the world!

    This is a new offering from Besame which sounds really intriguing (plus I'm a sucker for anything violet-scented): http://www.besamecosmetics.com/products.cfm/Brightening-Violet-Powder/pID-25

    Today's Pinup Fashion a Sly Wink to the Past - New York Times
