I need a dress from 1972 please. Maybe I'll go as a hippy chic. Ya know...anyhting goes! I did try on one of the girls' dresses from a quite a few years back....but definitely not the 70's.

Yeah, SM, mine was 1971..:blush: I wore this really hideous tie-dyed chiffon number. I lugged it around for years...hmmmm...wonder what ever happened to that thing?

Mine was the most hilarious, custom made, baby blue satin bodice with satin covered buttons. Below the empire waste was lace over blue satin. Long lace sleeves with blue satin cuffs. It only added about 10 pounds. What was I thinking???? :yikes:I have a picture I can scan later......maybe.

Tonight I was bored and letting my hair air dry, and then I thought it might be fun (since I wasn't doing anything and my hair was going to be a curly mess anyway) to see if I could recreate my big 80's curly hair. It used to look kind of like this...

Oh my God. It worked.

I couldn't keep it from settling a bit, because my current arsenal lacks the greatest hair product ever...

I second that! You have such gorgeous hair...

Back in the 80's I rebelled and cut all mine off in a "pixie" (or something like that.)

or like Mary Stuart Masterson's

Every time I went for a haircut, my stylist would shake her head sadly and say, "You could have such big hair!" :lol:

Yea, let's do it! We've got one month! :clap:

Someone told me I needed to do South Beach Diet or the Zone if I want to lose inches around my waist. Both of those diets are EXTREMELY inconvenient, and I wilt like a pansy in June with no carbs in my life.

But I need to lose at least 2 inches if I'm going to be comfortable in my dress, and I would love to lose a few more and fit into my mom's old dress. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I'm going to try to run in an elastic back belt tomorrow--back when I was landscaping I could usually knock off an emergency inch or two around the middle that way, but I don't know how it works long-term...:dunno:

If you want a quick fix....it is Atkins all the way. You can eat a lot, just not the carbs. 20 carbs a day. You will see the weight drop off. Then the trick is to transition to a "normal" diet, introducing carbs and cutting down on the fat that you have been eating with Atkins. I am not a doctor so don't tell me that this is unhealthy. No one is talking about health! You can certainly do it for one month. I lost 25 pounds.....a few years ago.
