    Would you like the fedora and related hats to become main stream fashion

    For no less than 20 years, I've said that I wished that men would start donning hats and women would wear dresses. As a child I used to watch the reruns of the 50's shows and even then, realized that people acted in such a proper manner when wearing appropriate clothing. It is a sign of true...

    Ghosts, anyone?

    I've never believed in them myself, however, I may now. A dear friend in England has one residing in her home. He shows himself every day in the 10 o'clock hour and torments her cat regularly. She knows when he's behind her (yes, she knows it's a "he"...he used to live there) and she scolds him...

    Weird Pocket Finds

    I just purchased a full length white (fox, perhaps?) fur coat. When I bought it, I didn't check the pockets, but when I came home, I found a lovely glove in each one - beautiful!

    The Great Beer Thread

    It seems the older I get, the better the beer is on a hot day. Or, a cold evening, for that matter. I prefer those from smaller microbreweries as well. One favorite is SLO brew's Blueberry Ale. (Made in San Luis Obispo, CA) It's a lovely flavor, and goes well with so much. Another adoration of...

    Hour Glass figures

    Thank you! It's not mine yet, as it's being finished on Monday. (seams are being repaired before I get it) It makes me feel like a princess!

    Hour Glass figures

    Of course, after reading the thread and had to get out my tape measure ;) I have a theory on girls wearing the low-low-low rise. (remember, it's just my theory and has no validity, other than in my head) If you don't exercise and eat right, your belly gets out of whack. Then, your pants don't...

    How did you find the lounge?

    I quite possibly may be the newest member here - yesterday, to be exact.:) I googled "1940's hairstyles discussion", I think, in hopes to find a living breathing group of folks who knew their stuff. Immediately I was whisked away to the powder room! After doing searches for the last couple...

    Be Aware Of Phoney Poster

    Have you notified the admins at the other board? It's pretty easy to find that user's ISP, and they can block out that person.

    Vintage in So. Cal? Help needed!!

    I went by The Theater Company in Upland. They do mostly rentals, but some sales as well. Talk about a vintage mecca! I wonder if they know how many thousand pieces they have. I didn't find anything *(yet) but spoke with a gentleman there who informed me that they have many celeb pieces, some...

    Californians Please check in!

    Yes, I've driven by, but since I've only lived here for 2 months, I've not gotten into the place yet. As for the thrift store...where is it located? Thanks!

    Vintage in So. Cal? Help needed!!

    They used to be just below Huntington, on 1st, I think, but the addy on Huntington itself seems to be the last place I saw them, just down from Outback Steakhouse.

    Vintage in So. Cal? Help needed!!

    He'll pay...mwa ha ha ha.....I don't even want to tell you how much he spent on his suit. (Granted, it's a new suit from Nordie's, but will do fine with my vintage. He's the recipient of the company's big award this year, so he wanted to really look spiffy. I'd love to find him a fedora, tho)...

    Vintage in So. Cal? Help needed!!

    Thank you Miss Q! You are wonderful! I'll see if I can make it to LA before the weekend- (I'm in the 909). There's nothing like shopping last minute! I'm still growling to my h who knew this was a vintage event months ago (he informed me 1 week ago).

    Vintage in So. Cal? Help needed!!

    Oh dear! I am brand new at vintage (there's an oxymoron), and my first major event is a week from Saturday. (We're talking hundreds of people in 1940's vintage wear, and I must look my best) My dress I found on ebay arrived today and even though it's lovely, it will need too many...

    Cooking in the Golden Era

    Miss Queenie, you are a mind reader! I just found this board today, and after asking a question in the Powder room, I wondered if anyone spoke of "vintage cookery" as it were. And, there you are! Cooking is my love, and one of my dearest cookbooks is my Good Housekeeping 1944 edition. I love...

    newbie needs 40's hair help!

    Hello all! First and foremost, may I say this board is wonderful!:) Now, on to my question: My h's company has a huge annual banquet and this year it's a 1940's theme. If only he'd told me about the theme months ago when he first learned of it! I've purchased a lovely black gown on ebay...
