Hi all! I've only just joined LJ, but I've been lurking on this community for 2 years now for inspiration when I started trying to do vintage hair! Since moving to San Diego, my husband and I (or mostly just I because he's busy) have been going out a speakeasy-style music bar/lounge and to "Gatsby Thursdays" for swing dancing! So my hair has been ( Read more... )

Those stockings in the last are amazing :D And so is your hair.

This is exactly what I came here to say!

Haha thanks! I was ecstatic to have a reason to wear them!

You are gorgeous! Hair looks great!
Your hair may be just long enough to do some small victory rolls on top and possibly just leaving the back curled loosely. Or you could just try big round curls think Elizabeth Taylor:

I think that'd look adorable on you!

Thanks! Hmm, maybe I'll try another one of Elizabeth Taylor's hairstyles since she has short hair - big round curls never stay in for me. I either have to make them tight, or they fall out all together. It's my stick straight Asian hair!

You are gorgeous :) I love the waves and your outfits :) And yes the stockings in the last picture are amazing.

Thanks! I love your hair colour! I had mine in some shade of red for almost 10 years before I realised I needed to stop frying my hair!

Somewhere there will be one group or another dancing! You just have to search for them! I found Yahoo! Groups is pretty good for getting local updates, since a lot of dancers will host house parties for dancing! We lived in Santa Barbara before, where everything was salsa! There was ONE good lindy/charleston instructor, and a pair that danced those but mostly taught East Coast swing, but unless you joined the school practices, there was no outside dancing, bands, or even a DJ playing swing music to speak of!
