    42, The Jackie Robinson Biopic.

    Wow, This was not even on my radar until now, but this looks very good. And plus, it has an almost unrecognizable Harrsion Ford! My mom met Jackie Robinson once, said he was a great man. That always stuck with me and I hope to learn more about him. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iP3G4E2ael8

    Moments of Doubt...

    I had a moment of doubt today. I was walking back to my house, it was a torrential downpour (which didn't have me feeling particularly cheerful) and I wasn't wearing vintage anything... but a small, nagging voice was in my head. "Why do I wear vintage clothing? No one else does... why do I...

    BadAss Digest presents: Your Guide to Drinking this Weekend.

    I stumbled on these articles a few weeks back and only just realized that folks here might want to read them as well. BadAss Digest is a shard of the very great Alamo Drafthouse company based in Austin, Texas and their website does not disappoint. This http://badassdigest.com/author/98...

    Little League (The Justice Leaque as kids)

    I wanted to post this in the what are you reading section, but perhaps because it is more a comic strip that is not entirely appropriate. Even still this web series has more heart and charm than most others, and I believe the artist Yale Stewart understands the DC comics characters better than...

    Help me date my pants...

    Alright, I have three sets of vintage trousers, all of them with lowered belt loops, high waist, and at least an 11 inch rise, but I have no idea what year they are... and the real question is does it matter? I really want to know if it matters? Was there a monumental difference between late...

    The Gangster (Hat) Squad.

    The trailer just broke for Ruben Fleischer's film Gangster Squad, based upon the real life Hat Squad. Here's the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yc3Ab52uqM8&feature=player_embedded I am truly happy with this! I love the casting, especially Sean Penn as Mickey Cohen, that's...

    I attended a Mad Men Party and I found something very shocking.

    As the title states, I attended a Mad Men party, which I do not yet have photos for because I didn't take any as there was a professional photographer there. Anyways, the whole set up was very nice, it was in a relatively new ballroom, but there was a live band playing sixties hits. Everyone...

    Gorgeous Brown Pinstripe.

    I admit that I am not a knowledgable as others here, but this suit has me flummoxed. The list says its 1950s, but the union tag is from the 30s? And there belt loops aren't dropped. Someone else help me out on this...

    Allen Edmonds Strawfut size 8M

    Hello folks, I have here a size 8M pair of Strawfuts with linen bodies for sale. I am asking $180.00 for them, that includes the shipping, which when you figure shipping prices from Alaska (hint: they're criminal) it's not an all around bad deal. The shoes are in great condition, recently...

    Does anyone here Tap Dance?

    I took a lesson the other day and thoroughly enjoyed getting my derrier handed to me on a platter. The instructor said I was a fast learner and that if I practiced at home I would have mastered what she called the "paradiddle" I think it's also known as the shuffle step. Anyways, I'm at...

    A Tribute to Pixar.

    I only just realized that there is no real thread to Pixar, one of the pillars that makes up my love for film. So I thought we could talk about our favorite Pixar films are, what are second most favorite (a lot of us have those I suspect) or perhaps the large gangleon of films that are all our...

    The Pulps! ACTION! ADVENTURE! AMAZING THRILLS! Only 10 cents.

    I thought everyone would maybe like to talk about the pulps after reading this great article from io9... http://io9.com/5834890/robots-mad-scientists-and-damsels-astounding-pulp-cover-art-1930+1955 I have not read many pulps, but the few I did were Doc Savage which were truly wonderful. So...

    Vintage jackets... modern pants.

    I know modern pants don't have the same rise as vintage ones, but honestly, unless I'm wearing a vintage suit, I am wearing modern pants with vintage jackets. I am a smaller person and I think it fits my frame more, does that make sense? Maybe not, but does anyone else do this? Lend me your...

    Help! Shoe Repair in Seattle!

    Well there is no quality shoe repair store in Juneau, Alaska so my next bet is to send the pair to Seattle but I do not know which shop to choose! Any folks living in the area know of a good shop to send my shoes? They need the leather soles replaced.

    John Carter (of Mars)

    I am not sure what it is that excites me about this film, I've never read the novels, but there is something about this movie that seems really epic... I love the fact that they set the film in the early 1900s as when the pulps were written and for some reason the music in this trailer is...

    TINTIN! The Motion Picture!

    I didn't see anyone else posting this thread, and I must say I am very impressed by this CGI film's visuals! It's stunning! Plus they decided to make a comic book film (Tintin is a very famous comic in Europe) set in the era that it was written (the Golden Era, good news for us, eh?) See...

    They've done it again! A new silent film set in black and white and Golden ERA!
