I need to start doing this. Seriously. It is time. My husband was sweet enough to buy me a sewing machine last year for my birthday, because I swore up and down I really wanted to take up sewing, and to make my own vintage-patterned outfits. (I'm a modern size 14, so I'm a bigger gal, and it's...

Hey, great idea! Is it too late to jump onto this bandwagon? If so, no worries. I will keep my eye out for the next time this starts up again, or something similar. ;) Good luck everyone!

All this shoe porn is making me lightheaded and weak. lol ~Lenore

MaryDeluxe, Cherry, Kitty, thank you for the nice compliment of liking my stories! When these things happen to me, my husband laughs and says "Only you, Lenore. Only you." But I don't think it's only me. Not after reading the stories here! ;) And Kadri, what I would give. What I would give...

lol! That is hilarious! You just reminded me of a funny story that happened about a year ago. I go to The Hukilau every year in Fort Lauderdale FL, ( www.hukilau.com ) because I am really into tiki. My husband and I were there dressed in vintage 40s hawaiiana, and I happened to have a snood in...

I understand what you're saying. I live in Astoria, and I like to dress up when I go to the movies. It reminds me of a more elegant time, when people were polite enough to want to look nice at the movies. I recently went to see Coraline 3-D, and was asked by people in the line, as well as the...

LOL! I'm sure, I'm DEFINITELY NOT in Grease. However, I was in it back in High School, my freshman year. I was Jan. Because I've always been chubby, and had enormous bubble cheeks. ;) Hahaha! I oftentimes just get told "Wow! I really like your look!" from people who aren't in vintage. And the...

This past week, hubby and I went to an Irish pub for dinner. I had to go to the bathroom, so I went to the back of the pub. There was a table of about 6 other people sitting at a table located just outside of the bathroom, all in their 40s and 50s I think, staring at me. Wide eyed. I smiled and...

Great thread! 1.) Continue on Weight Watchers until I get to goal, so I can wear more cute vintage dresses 2.) Conquer and perfect fingerwaves. I actually want to get a bob soon, and learn how to do the perfect fingerwaves. I have been really into 30's hair lately. Now I want to learn how...

Yeah! Why don't you know me? lol Not that I'm anybody famous or anything... but I just mean, we might have some of the same friends in common! I'm Lenore, and live in Astoria. I run in the NYC Tikiphile circle, mostly. I'm BIG in to the tiki. But I know Cheryl through my friends JW, Maria, and...

Thank you MacKenzie! You are very sweet! I love getting encouragement. Keeps me goin! ;) ~Lenore

No! She won't think that at ALL! She is one of my friends! :D lol She actually is the person who got me to join Weight Watchers! She is a real sweetie pie. :) I adore her lots! She LOVES getting emails from people who read her blogs. Honest. I am very lucky to be "in person friends" with her! :)

Thank you very much, Mrs. Merl, for the kind encouragement! :)

Well... I'm honestly not thrilled with the size I am right now. On my wedding day just over a year ago, I was a size 20. After I saw the pictures, I eventually decided to join Weight Watchers. Hubby did too, because he didn't like how he looked in the photos either. ;) He has lost a whopping...

Once I was putting Nair on my upper lip. Some of the Nair splattered from the bottle into my eyeball and started to burn like CRAZY. The pain was intense. My parents happened to be visiting me for Thanksgiving at the time, thank goodness. This was years ago, before I met my husband, and I...
