    Vintage Sunglasses

    Clubmaster's I think your sunglasses were a variation of Ray-Ban Clubmasters. Tom Hanks popularized them in Nothing in Common (1986) and they continued to be popular into the early 1990s. The Clubmaster, and especially the Ray-Ban Wayfarers have become popular again with the Generation...

    When did belts replace braces?

    Braces versus belts I don't think there was a sudden change like a meteor killing the dinosaurs, but starting in the 1940s, more and more men chose belts over braces/suspenders for holding up their dress trousers. By the early 1960s the vast majority of younger men wore belts with their dress...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Gilda Classic, classic, classic! Rita Hayworth and Glenn Ford, 1946. This film contains the musical number "Put the Blame on Mame" which made Hayworth a major star. She was astonishingly beautiful and was perfectly cast in this film noir. Glenn Ford was wonderful as usual as the happy-go-lucky...

    Radio Days (the movie)

    Radio Days complimentary films If you liked Radio Days, you should check out Brighton Beach Memoirs, the first of Neil Simon's autobiographical plays that were adapted to film. Biloxi Blues and Broadway Bound are the other two. Also, My Favorite Year is in a similar vein.

    My First Vintage Find!

    A wool check overcoat I found at a thrift store. I am guessing it is from the late 1950s or early 1960s, but I would welcome any input into this garment's age. I am seriously getting addicted to hunting for vintage clothing!

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Pushover (1954) Fred MacMurray and Kim Novak. Pretty mediocre even by 1950s standards, but the clothes! The hats! The cars! 1950 to 1958 is definitely my favorite vintage era.

    If you could spend one day/night in the Roaring 20's/Golden Era what would you do?

    One Night in the Golden Age I would love to don the white tie and tails and go to some swanky night spot like the Stork Club or Cotton Club. Hopefully one of my hero/legends like Ella Fitzgerald would be playing. Wow, this fantasy sounds like an out-take from "The Purple Rose of Cairo"!
