  My great grandmother told me that blowing your cigarette smoke into a gentlemans face meant you wanted to sleep with him.
  I tried that for many years but have since found it much easier to just tell them. Saves time.

  I like the sound of your great grandmother, Kate. I bet she had other useful tips, you should share them round more often. Did she have any tips about actually FINDING a good man?
  
  
  I was fawning over your spaceman pictures today, the ones on your website. Gosh they're lovely. There's just one thing, can you make em bigger, so that when i click em, they embiggenate? So that i can check out the detail. Yeah. I know i'm not asking for much.

  The key thing about a man (not finding one though) according to my great grandmother was "Never trust a man whose eyebrows meet" I followed her advice but dated alot of what I suspect were pluckers (no, seriously no pun, they were fuckwit pluckers.)
  Funny that because I'd be monobrow too.
  
  Spaceman, of course, so you can drag and drop and blow him up big and paste on a lifesize dolly and take him driving with you.
  Sure. I've met someone like you before.
  Which one do you want to see big?

  Let's say 14 15 and 18 and start with those ones.
  
  
  I'm not sure about The Pluckers. I'm going to have to take more notice of mens eyebrows obviously. Who knew?

  Dear Proj -
  
  Catching up here. Love this image. Too bad that smoking = death because it was so cool sometimes.
  
  "If" your mother had named you "Tippi" how would your life have been different?

  Hey that's my Grandad!
  
  I don't think I quite inherited his suaveness though, ie I've never blown (smoke) in a woman's face.

  it IS rather a teeny-looking waist, isn't it, thenextchapt? although, i think those big skirts would make most waists look small by comparison.
  maybe that's the trick to a small waist?
  
  oh sigh! KSV you're so darned right about the smoking and the death. i wish it wasn't so, because i'd sometimes like to light up a cigarette, sit outside in my garden and contemplate the stars and my thoughts. i DO miss those cigarettes.
  
  i must say, i'd quite like the name Tippi. i'd quite possibly have been a keen water ski-er who later goes on to release a book called "Ski Your Way to a Slim Waist" knocking Doctor Phil from his spot on the bestseller list and going on to marry my childhood sweetheart, Charlie. Damn. It's all in a name, isn't it?
  
  Your grandad, Man at the Pub?! i knew it! the picture made me think of you, so i had to post it. i do so like it when you wear your best dinner suit for drinks in the lounge at 6:00pm.

  Hey Missy Moo, how did the ladies get their hair like that? I bet there was ironing then curling involved, or curling then ironing. Either way, I bet it was hot and dangerous work.
  
  And how about that waist! A gal's gotta eat, especially if she's got all that ironing and curling to do. Phew.

  you must have read my mind Mme Kettle - i was indeed thinking to myself 'i wonder how she did her hair' and wishing i could get a close up shot of it. i'm becoming quite a whizz with the hair pins of late. i'm not very patient though - i get fed up half way through.
  
  i also get called MissyMoo in real life. funny.

  Did I tell you your post a coupla months ago on Princess Leia-type hair (hair with pins and things) inspired me to start pinning my hair? I'm loving it! I'm chignon-ing up a storm.
  
  In terms of patience, I've found the longer the pin the less pins needed so that chignon goes up with one giant pin now. One pin! Magic.
  
  PS, it makes perfect sense to me you're MissyMoo in real life xx

  Me Da was one of those Gents. Always looked good. He had a new suit made every year and would rather stay in of an evening than go out in anything other than his best clobber! Always held a door open for ladies too, and gave up his seat. I Like to think I'm carrying on his tradition.
  
  Have a good weekend!

  is that right, Mme Kettle?
  i had a customer called Heidi the other day, she wasn't sporting Heidi hair though. i chastised her for it and she laughed at me.
  
  i've got too much hair for just the one pin. is it one of those ones that looks remarkably like a metal talon? at our next slumber party we'll have to put our hair in rollers and play Truth or Dare.
  
  that's very sweet Mr Map - i must say it is a very lovely surprise when i meet someone (man or woman) who holds the door open for me. i hope that your weekend is lovely too. XX
