[25 Jul 2008|10:23pm] vintagehair [jennikins] So today I have been superglued to doctormacro practically licking the screen of all the pretty pretty hairdos I cannot do.   Yet....... I fell in love with this one ( cut because it will mess up your friends pages! ) But I can't for the life of me figure out how to go about replicating that, does anyone have any ideas? :) 4 comments|post comment

hair is growing! [25 Jul 2008|04:18pm] vintagehair [andreahg] It's been a while since I posted here, but since I cut my hair off, I've had a hard time getting a vintage style. I think it's finally long enough for a 50's wet set. I also recently got a bonnet dryer, which makes it a bit easier than having to sleep on curlers. ( pics here ) 9 comments|post comment

Lolliness! [25 Jul 2008|01:29pm] pancake_meow Ahhhh! I just ordered a huge box of circus peanuts! What for? Come to Popfest to find out! I am so excited about The Lolligags upcoming Popfest show on Aug 15th! We haven't played since January and that's quite a long time, especially since Ryan lives in Nashville! In a way I almost enjoy the way we have to go about making our music! It might be too easy if we lived in the same town and we might over think things! Keep in mind that Ryan just got a computer a few months ago! Envision Ryan holding a phone to a tape recorder and my having to hold the phone to my laptop! Ahhh! I might just end up missing those days, but will forever wonder about the tape recorder that Ryan had lost with a valuable (and slightly embarrassing) tape inside... whoever found it with all of it's crazy glory is sure to have had some laughs.... Ryan always did enjoy recording our phone conversations!!!! Let's just not think about it! So, the EP is a done deal and at the pressing plant as we speak! WHEW! We are both very proud of it and excited to be able to share it with the world! It was a real test of both our patience each and every step of the way! It's a great feeling to know it's out of our hands and we can see the light at the end of the dark tunnel! Nobody said making music was easy! We just keep leaning as we go and are looking forward to new experiences and ideas that come spinning from our minds! Yep! And one thing we are looking forward to is FINALLY having professional photos (taken by my favorite photographer) and no more photos taken from my laptop, which I hate to admit I've had to resort to in the past... but everything in time right! :D Ask me again why the new EP doesn't include a band photo! HEH! yeah... it will be nice to have some nice press photos that's for sure! The new EP is titled 'Out Of Perversity Join Hands' and there is a fun little inside story in there dating back to 1992 when Ryan and I first met! Awwwww! We do love incorporating our past! They are such treats! :D We will have the EP available at Popfest, but the official release date isn't until September and as always, it will be available at www.pancakemeow.com. So.. we pretty much have everything together for our show! Our light boxes will have a new image and I waved so long to the orange, mint and white! I should have thought about how difficult those colors were to come by before! I had such an attraction to that color combo... what a nightmare it was... so Black, cream and red it is! Please visit our myspace for updates, music and other Lolligag info! Dance to the tragedy! http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=79946965 2 comments|post comment

Makeup in Marie Antoinette [25 Jul 2008|10:27am] 18thcentury [drosselmeier] I noticed there are a few characters in the movie Marie Antoinette who wear very exaggerated white makeup and red cheeks, one elderly lady in particular, and I think the rest were older as well. I was wondering what the explanation is for this, when most of the characters are wearing very little makeup. Is it historically accurate? 17 comments|post comment

Hair like Kenley Collins? [25 Jul 2008|10:57am] vintagehair [indieglam] [ mood | anxious ] [ music | After Hours - We Are Scientists ] My hair appointment was just moved up to this afternoon from next Friday. I've been contemplating the Kenley Collins (from this season's Project Runway) bettie-esque bangs and I have to make my decision now. I'd like to do more vintage hair but whenever I try it feels like I have 10 fingers on each hand. So, do you think I could pull off her bangs? ( What do you think? ) Yes? No? Or just do it because it's hair, it grows back, and I'll never know for sure if it suits me unless I just do it? Thanks everyone! I really appreciate your input :) ps. do these kind of hair decisions make anyone else incredibly anxious? 17 comments|post comment

First post! [25 Jul 2008|09:49am] vintagehair [xlua_negrax] Hello ladies! I'm a long time lurker and first time poster to this wonderful community! I love playing with my hair, doing roller sets and pincurls, but recently I've encountered a problem.  Yesterday I rolled my hair in the rollers (1,5 inches wide) and secured them with metal spikes that came with them. Then, I put a cap (the kind that had a trunk that attaches to the hair dryer) and proceeded to dry my set. I had to stop multiple times because I felt the metal spikes burning my skin, even though they were not touching my scalp. Am I doing something wrong? How can I avoid this? Thanks in advance! 1 comment|post comment

[24 Jul 2008|10:41pm] vintagehair [deathtoroomies] I was wondering where everyone got their awesome hair accessories?  Online? I come from a smaller city so its tough to find anything nice or worthwhile.   23 comments|post comment

Must Remember: [24 Jul 2008|08:12pm] vebelfetzer Originally published at Gibberings. You can comment here or there. Must Remember:, originally uploaded by vebelfetzer. The only two things that make me happy are drawing, and video games. I don’t know why I have to keep reminding myself. Perhaps because, logically, one would assume food, sleep, human contact would be more advisable pursuits. That would be logical. Logical. 3 comments|post comment

[24 Jul 2008|07:45pm] vintagehair [missypoopoo03] Here's is a tutorial on my bangs. I hope you guys can use this! Thanks for the comments. I will post another tuorial on the rolls soon.

1930's help: Windsor wardrobe and Mainbocher [24 Jul 2008|09:33pm] lamodeillustree [lisotchka] Dear Lj friends! I need YOUR help and YOUR huge knowledge of the 1930's... The lady I am studying was a friend of the duchess of Windsor (formerly Wallis Simpson), and I realized that they have some outfits in common. So I'm looking for these gowns, wearing by the duchess: real dresses, sketches, photographs,drawings, etc. I'm particularly interesting by the 1930's years and by Mainbocher, after her wedding, but not by the weeding dress neither by the Schiaparelli lobster dress. In general, if you have something about Mainbocher, I'd appreciated a lot. Thank you!! 1 comment|post comment

[24 Jul 2008|12:17am] shyfayrie [ mood | tired ] [ music | The White Stripes- Conquest ] OH MY GOSH I THINK I FINISHED MY WEBSITE Although there are two or three items that are "coming soon". I'll get on those as soon as I can. Let me know if anyone sees any glitches. Ive looked at it too long to see anything! Thank you again to Aaron and Jenn for letting me photograph you gorgeous people in my jewelry. And thank you to my fans that sent in photos and let me use them on my site. As of now I am exhausted. I have been making that website while completing all my wholesale orders and while preparing my jewelry and art for FaerieWorlds next week. Which, I am still planning for. Who else is going to FaerieWorlds? Im thinking of doing an you-know-me-from-lj promo thing. 17 comments|post comment
