    BoPeep, that jacket is the cutest. I like it much better than a 49er. Your whole outfit is adorable.

    The ones that got away

    I've noticed this too :( But it actually made me think the Etsy prices aren't so bad, haha. I didn't buy and then missed out on a couple of VERY nice dresses on Etsy recently because I started buying vintage back in (ahem) (a very long time ago); when we thought $25 for a rayon 1920's two tone...

    The ones that got away

    That's what I was thinking, it's a cotton housedress. An adorable housedress. Maybe if it was rayon... Ah well, hopefully there is some cute pin-up girl who bought it and I'll see some photos posted here sometime. :)

    The ones that got away

    OK, I am DYING for this dress, but doesn't this seem insane? It was sort of fascinating to watch the bidding war. You can look at a recap in the bid history. Vtg 30's/40's Cotton Seeksucker Print Zip Front Dress

    The ones that got away

    I'm watching a slow motion train wreck of a bidding war over a dress that is already up to the "they cannot have bid it up that much" amount. It goes in an hour.

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

    Love this chart. Really shows the contour for the shape.

    The sartorialist had a nice post about great vintage hair a couple of days ago.

    Weight loss options

    I loathe jogging. I cannot stress how fast someone gets results from the kettlebell class -- although some places may call them bootcamp? I hate working out too -- I go for the most efficient :)

    Weight loss options

    It's been mentioned, but Pilate is fabulous. It will beautifully sculpt your body into a dancers shape. You do need to do it it regularly. However, I've been doing kettlebell classes for a few months. Wow, the most results I have EVER gotten from any workout. Sadly I only have time for once...

    Weight loss options

    Wow, that is an enormous weight loss! I'm lucky if I can knock off a pound and a half in a week. Congratulate yourself.

    Nursing Uniforms

    I bought a vintage uniform off ebay. It was listed as a white waitress dress. It looks like the one on the right on the pattern, except with short sleeves. I seemed to find a few listed the same way. Maybe try to look under white uniform, waitress dress, etc... I made a hat from an online...

    Imitation: Flattering or Litigious?

    You're right. Actually it is quite maddening - the corporation as person ruling. I meant person as a, well, actual human being. :) Ah well. Interesting to find out the outcome.

    Imitation: Flattering or Litigious?

    Yes, I am completely aware of the definition of "estate". My problem is equating a corporation (the estate managed by an ad agency) with a person. In forming an opinion, we shouldn't feel we are supporting Bette Davis the wonderful actor. As an aside; I may feel that they way they name their...

    Imitation: Flattering or Litigious?

    Bette Davis isn't a brand name. She is a public figure. I guess I would have more empathy for this suit if it was actually brought on by the legendary woman. That it is brought on by her descendants because her name is still "worth substantial sums of money in the marketplace" who had nothing...

    Has anyone dealt with Puttin on the Ritz? Their dresses are very cute and great fabrics. http://puttin-on-the-ritz.net/

    As if we didn't chat about pin curls enough. . .

    Sorry to ask again, so parallel to the part would be as Yesterday's Girl has her curlers in in this shot: and perpendicular would be how she rolled the bangs i guess. If you missed it before, these shots are from Yesterday's Girl's blog...

    Vintage Manicures

    Do any Angelinos know of somewhere that will do a half moon manicure? I'll be in Los Angeles this weekend.

    BTW, in your avatar you look like Parker Posey. I'm wondering if you get that a lot. Love your makeup in that shot.
