    How can I look more 1930s, less 1920s?

    Ideas It is in the details. Jewelry, hair length, purses, shoes, stockings. The 20's are so different from the thirties but most non vintage people do not know the difference. Take lipstick-In the 20's the lips were more bow shaped to take after silent screen star Clara Bow. Thinner...

    The Vintage Suitor

    I love the charm about you. It is not enough for me to dress in the classic style. I am not at all in love with this modern world. Where is the romance, charm and mystery? People are alone in their despair. Sex with strangers and doing drugs in bathrooms. Not for this old fashioned gal. I...

    The Vintage Suitor

    A glass or two is okay but there is nothing worse than watching a man get drunk on a night out with a date. Maybe I am old fashioned but if the woman does not smoke...it can be hard to take.Cough. Cough.

    Do You Ever Get Tired of Compliments?

    praise I don't get tired of it but my hubby and 12 year old son do. When we all dress up to go out to eat..they get annoyed by the stares and smiles. My husband wears a nice suit and hat, I am in a dress and my boy wears a bow tie with a barber haircut. All of us look spiffy. People ask us if...

    do you sometimes feel like a freak?

    oyster world My hubby and I were just talking about how we always felt different growing up from other kids. Both of us-we marched to our own band music. When they other kids listening to Rock-I wasn't interested-I liked old jazz albums. When they wore tee shirts and jeans-I wore a dress...

    The Vintage Suitor

    This is for the men at Fedora Lounge. Some hints from the ladies on how to sweep her off her feet. 1. Bring gifts. A corsage of gardenias, a nosegay of violets or a dozen red roses. And candy-Whitman's sampler, chocolate covered cherries or Brown and Hayley Almond Roca. 2. Don't smoke...

    eBay fit woes

    woes No ebay for me-they are too expensive and I did buy a dress that was just terrible on there. I would much rather do the Thrifts. You know that you are getting and I can see also if I can sew cute buttons on it. I think ebay is too pricey.

    Tattoos.

    No ink for the dame I don't care for tatoos on women. I don't believe it looks very vintage. I don't mind one on a man's arm. I am a old fashioned, conservative broad!

    Snow White

    How I stay white I am a big sissy about the sun. I love how if feels but I want no color at all. I want Nicole Kidman white skin.:) I use Anthelios with Mexoryl and a large floppy hat, umbrella and long sleeves. The sun leaves me with moles, freckles and wrinkles. I am not in any 20's anymore...

    The Price of Thrift

    I agree with you. The LA thrift stores are bad now. When ebay started-they got flooded with dealers. Very sad. I used to walk out with tons of stuff and oh so inexpensive-not anymore.:(

    Guilty of collecting....?

    collectors -yes we are! We have a houseful of collections and never plan to sell them! They will be given to our son or donated to a museum. One of the draws of being married to a vintage man is his wonderful collections. My sweetheart collects music, radios, suits, toys, WW2, books,etc...

    Love at first sight? What Balloney!!...or, does it really happen?

    Thank you. And yes I will post pictures as soon as we can learn how. Hubby and I are not quite in the modern times and this computer picture sharing is new to us. We do not have a digital camera or a printer. For some reason I don't feel embarrassed telling the folks here that we are so behind...

    Melmac dishes?

    Melmac dishes The dishwasher-it will ruin them in time. Hand wash your dishes and they will last forever. Hubby can dry. I own melmac dishes and I have kept them perfect because I care for them.

    S.O.S Hair dye disaster

    haircolor I do my own haircolor and I have had some mistakes in the past. Forget the salons (I don't like them) and get her to dye her hair darker. It worked for me when I made the mistake of going too red. You need a med. dark brown color with "ash" in the name to bring down the red tones...

    Anyone like me?

    mix and match I like to have the matching earrings and necklace too. I do the whole thing shoes, hats, dresses and gloves. I don't have too much modern clothes anymore except for some lingerie and my one piece black bathing suits. And some modern boots. I have been collecting for a long time...

    non vintage Hubby and I both have computers and we love them. I also love my modern vacuum cleaner and washer and dryer. I refuse to have a microwave or cell phone.

    Love at first sight? What Balloney!!...or, does it really happen?

    Love at first sight Do I believe in it? Yes because it happened to me and I never thought it would. My friends knew I was very picky about who I would date and I was thinking I might end up single because no one interested me. I had my heart broken by a cad when I was in my early twenties and I...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    Comments-both good and bad I have been dressing vintage style since I was 14 years old. Funny it was High School where I got my negative comments. I finally joined the Drama Club and fit right in there... (There was a kid who wore a top hat and cape to school everyday). When I walk around...
