I've never seen anything like it, and the pictures on your photographers' site are breathtaking. I also love love love the video of your first (swing) dance as...- The Bingstress

Sale!
Oooo, I love vintage shopping! Question: What size are you? That is, about what size are most of the dresses? I have the feeling you're much smaller than me, but I'll keep my fingers crossed. ;) Hugs & blessings, The Bingstress- The Bingstress

Where's your favourite place to buy vintage wardrobe online?
Okay, I have to plead ignorance. What is a neckholder corset? I know what a regular corset looks like, and I can't imagine what else could be added to it to hold one's neck! I actually tried on my first corset in a shop in San Francisco about two years ago and was amazed not just at how...- The Bingstress

Vintage Weddings
Fisk makes a good point--what's with the Walmart wear at weddings these days? I mean, a wedding is the happiest occasion in a person's life, next to perhaps the birth of their child. It's the ultimate day for celebration. Is it really too much to ask for guests to don appropriately celebratory...- The Bingstress

James, I haven't had a chance to measure Big T's head yet, but at least now I've got loads of information about how to get an accurate hat size. ;) Thanks to everyone who has posted and emailed me personally with helpful links. I'll be sure to put up pictures if and when we find the perfect...- The Bingstress

old school Crime Literature
I actually just got a note from a reader about a new paperback imprint called Hard Case Crime, and I posted something about it on the Daily News at RetroRadar.com. Here's the item: New York, NY, September 6 - From World War II through the 1960s, paperback crime novels were one of the...- The Bingstress

Miss Velma Kelly presenting her cabaret bowler
Wow, everyone has been so helpful!! I guess I shouldn't be surprised to find so many hat experts in a place called the "Fedora Lounge," but I am truly touched and tickled by everyone's advice and guidance. Matt, your hat looks like it might be a good fit for Big T, since you have a similarly...- The Bingstress

Miss Velma Kelly presenting her cabaret bowler
Big T and I were just over in Fort Worth the other week, and we drove by the Cowgirl Hall of Fame. I pointed at the (very beautiful) building and said, "Next trip, I want to go there!" Neat to get a sneak peek of the exhibits inside. Thanks for posting that, K.D. As for those cowgirl hat pics...- The Bingstress

Miss Velma Kelly presenting her cabaret bowler
Dagummit...all I have is a cowboy hat and a newsboy cap. I'm going to have to go vintage shopping! By the way, Big T has tried on fedoras a couple times, but nothing seems to look or fit right with the shape of his head/face. This may be a very rudimentary question, but how does a fella...- The Bingstress

Swingin' at The Derby NO MORE!
I agree that the Derby was a wonderful place to dance in L.A., and it's sad to see the back room converted into a cocktail lounge. In the owners' defense, though, Big Guy made a good point about the financial challenges of catering to dancers. The same issues cropped up on the heels of the swing...- The Bingstress

I figured somebody needed to kick off the conversation in here, and it might as well be me. My husband Craig and I just got married this June, and we had a semi-vintage wedding. He's a big band singer who also loves blues, and we actually held our ceremony in the middle of one of his outdoor...- The Bingstress

WWII Reenacting Discussion Thread
It's very cool to see that this thread has been active for so long. I first discovered living history events when ATOMIC Magazine set up shop at the Reading WWII Airshow a couple years back. I spent two days working a vendor table and meeting visitors from all over the country. I was blown away...- The Bingstress

Cups Runneth Over at Retro Radar
Hey fellas, I need to make an important correction here: Dixie is all dame! She is a dear friend of mine, and one of the wittiest and most erudite gals you'll ever meet. She's got a great sense of style, too--equal parts quirky, sexy, and retro fabulous. Imagine Lucille Ball meets Betsy Johnson...- The Bingstress
