Very sweet article about her Nana.<br />
<br />
This made me laugh. "Waste not want not was a phrase heard at least once a day in her house. Seriously You were allowed one glass of juice at breakfast <i>in a proper juice glass ...</i> Similarly if she was out of something, she wasn’t going to go out just to buy one thing, ridiculous. Stomach ache and out of Pepto Bismol? A teaspoon of baking soda in warm water will take care of that." </div>Forties Fashionshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02857765135832429649noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5828456091248117522.post-85910263046902457902010-08-21T00:31:00.000-07:002010-08-21T00:35:46.083-07:00Hilarious "new" Ads for Twitter, Facebook, & Youtube vintage style<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhycSU1xRiUXWDbhRYEwBgs87Uv85GS1ZIr5iKxCEXjpY-sorEgasORgfxgBePqoFuhxVmE6UmSwenzh4Rf8ZLcUHyil8IMxhgJwsks_dFufUeYjxLaG_6LAMfegO4iIGk56Hw_nrRwFcU/s1600/vintage+skype.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhycSU1xRiUXWDbhRYEwBgs87Uv85GS1ZIr5iKxCEXjpY-sorEgasORgfxgBePqoFuhxVmE6UmSwenzh4Rf8ZLcUHyil8IMxhgJwsks_dFufUeYjxLaG_6LAMfegO4iIGk56Hw_nrRwFcU/s640/vintage+skype.JPG" width="528" /></a></div><a href="http://newslite.tv/2010/08/20/vintage-style-adverts-for-face.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+newslite+%28news%3Alite.tv%29">http://newslite.tv/2010/08/20/vintage-style-adverts-for-face.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+newslite+%28news%3Alite.tv%29</a><br />

James Lileks has compiled the most absurd and dangerous parental advice from the 30's thru to the 50's. His hilarious and extreme narration and observations of these relics is even funnier than the nonsense that passed for good advice back in the day.<br />
<br />
From window hung metallic cages for apartment dwelling mommies to ensure their baby gets all the fresh air and sun they require to articles warning mothers against picking up and touching their "little stranger" unless it's absolutely needed so as not to create an adult that must be committed to an asylum later on!!! <br />

This will take about 15 minutes to get into pin curls. If you are <b><i>not a pin curl lady</i></b> you can use the same curl pattern with a <b><i>large barrel curling iron</i></b>. My curls don't last when I use curling irons so I stick to pin curls. Good luck Ladies!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div> I just checked this book out of my local library and am so glad I did, I've got to buy it now. She's got a lot of great info on the ol' Sears Catalogs from this decade. When I think of Sears I cringe frankly, I remember my Grandmother taking me there, I had a really hard time finding anything that I thought looked good. Apparently in JoAnne's book she mentions that the old catalogs ONLY contained exactly what people said they wanted to buy. I'd love to have a clothing dealer now that would be so cooperative!

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">As I was sifting through these designs I felt some of these were very 'mid century modern' or 50's. Then I remembered by the end of WWII Dior latest design that was called "the New Look" began to influence the formerly masculine designs of wartime clothing. Which soon developed into that waspish appearance that is characterized by the 50's. </span><br />

</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I do not use any product at all just shampoo. No setting lotion, no hairspray, no conditioner. Conditioner just weighs my hair down and <b>reduces the shine and actually makes it dirty</b>. Your hair [my hair anyway] will stay clean longer with out it you know. After three days my hair still smells freshly washed. Hairspray will make it stinky also so use as little as possible. <b><i> </i></b><br />
<br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I know ladies! <i style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">"Comb out my hair with no conditioner!!! Well I've Never!"</i> But the end result is soooo worth it, unless of course it's so processed that it becomes rubber bands when wet. </div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Just try it and be patient and gentle, try a really large toothed comb to do it, starting from your ends and gradually working your way up to your scalp not the other way around. </div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">This way your pin curl set will last a few days and it won't smell funky. {This won't do for ladies who's exercise regimen requires that they get sweaty, sorry ladies}</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><ul><li>If your going for more of a Veronica Lake look with shiny large finger waves, I'll do a post on that later, her hairdo is simple.</li>
</ul></div><br />
<div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><ul><li>Now more important facts you need to know. There is a special way to brush these hairstyles also. <i><b>Blouse-brushing.</b></i> It's referred to here in this article found at that treasure chest called a blog <a href="http://beautyisathingofthepast.blogspot.com/">beautyisathingofthepast.blogspot.com</a></li>
</ul></div><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">This article is in reference to a particular hairdo in '51 but the concept is the same, controlled brushing and sculpting of the waves over your hands or fingers.

<ul style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><li>It's really important that you use blouse brushing or a controlled method of brushing out your curls other wise you are going to get massive frizzy volume. </li>
<li>Also if you use product such as setting lotion or gel, use your hands and fingers to break up the set so the curls soften prior to brushing out. </li>
<li>Your hair must be absolutely bone dry! If you take your pins out and your hair is slightly damp your curls will fall out. </li>
<li>I use a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/SPILO-Portable-Dryer-Bonnet-Model/dp/B000WQ7TAG">dryer bonnet</a> that I made that I attach to my hair dryer. It takes 45 min's to 1 hour. </li>
<li>You can let it dry over night but I would advise covering your pin curls with a scarf so you don't knock out your bobby pins in the night.</li>
<li>Finally after I initially brush out the pin curls I rake my fingers slowly downward in a pulling motion and arrange the waves and curls as I would like them to fall. This will rid the frizz and huge volume you get from brushing out pin curls.</li>

<br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">The 40's look was all about being as <i><b>natural</b></i> as possible. Even though it took <i><b>alot of effort</b></i> to pull it off, it was really worth it. </div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">Here are just a few of the Women that set the standards for beauty in Hollywood of the 1940's Era: clockwise starting from upper left: Ava Gardner, Barbara Stanwyck, Rosalind Russell, and last but by no means least the Beautiful Joan Crawford. </div><br />

<div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">In my tutorial I do not include the false eyelashes that all ladies wore. Sorry ladies, but that's a skill you'll need to hone all on your lonesome. Besides they pull out your lashes.<br />
<br />
By the way, they were human hair, so if you got them wet you lost the curl in your lashes. My Grandmother mentioned once how she actually curled her falsies to get them to look right after getting them wet, you pretty much use the same technique you do for your hair.</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I used to wear fake lashes for years. I really don't enjoy pulling out my natural lashes with glue so I can become dependent on fake ones. So I do not include falsies in this tutorial. I'm not a fan of them anymore. </div><br />
<br />
<div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Also important to know, makeup artists of this era achieved an <b><i>ephemeral glow</i></b> to the complexion by applying a much darker foundation makeup then applying a very light face powder to this darker foundation. I thought this was fascinating. </div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />
</div><br />
<div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I don't enjoy the feel of the [era correct] heavy pancake makeup worn during this period so I will be using a mineral powder foundation. <i>[I know all my talk about era correctness and I use modern day mineral powder! That pancake spackle just isn't pore friendly sorry gals.]</i></div><br />

An ad for Cutex from 1930's that gives instructions for this type of manicure, just paint the nail skipping the edge and the moon. Accenting the nail edge under neath with a french white pencil. My Grandmother used these, they look like a white drawing pencil that is water soluble, you simply draw underneath the tip of your nail to whiten it.<br />
<br />

If it's thick add a few drops of 100% pure acetone remover <i>[if you use non acetone remover it won't work as well]</i> to your favorite polish and slowly roll the bottle in your hands. Rolling the bottle doesn't add bubble like shaking does, and warmed polish flows better.<br />
<br />
I've seen modern attempts to recreate this look with layers of polish painted over french tip tape that is then peeled away. Bravo to them for having such dexterity, I've used this method many many times. <br />
<br />
I just don't like seeing sharp edged layers of the nail bed paint left at the moon and nail edge after the tape is peeled off of the nail. It's not nearly as delicate as this time tested method. I prefer the much smoother result of using authentic vintage techniques.<br />

<i><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">An interesting note on this styles history:</span></i><br />
<br />
What first began as a trend in the 30's became a necessity by the time WW2 began. Since all industries were working towards victory in the war with the Allies, cosmetics production practically came to an absolute standstill. Ladies used this style to extend the life of their polish bottle and lengthen the wear-ability of their manicure, although painting the entire nail was done during the 40's, most women, {especially in Europe where the rations were much stricter}, were more careful about rationing their luxury goods during this period. It would've been considered wasteful to paint your entire nail, unless of course you were wealthy and had a stock pile of luxury goods at your disposal.<br />
