    Who Did You Just See Live?

    I just saw the Cherry Poppin Daddy's 2 weeks ago, they were awesome. After the show I got to meet the entire band and chatted with them with my friends for a while. I originally saw them back in 1991 in a little bar in Portland.

    Not able to dress vintage?

    I have a few pairs of Danskos too, a pair of Mary Jane style in red and a couple of the slip on style with the closed in back (the professional style). I do wear them with my vintage at least a few times a week because I suffer from a lot of foot pain and they really help. Also I have to mention...

    What decade most flatters your figure?

    The 20's and 30's suit my flapper-esq type body the best because I am short and thin (5 foot 2 and 103lbs. just like Louise Brooks was during her hey day). The 20's and 30's is also my favorite era's.

    Cardigans, cardigans, cardigans!

    I have several of these myself and I love them too. As far as care goes I use dryerell on them when they need cleaning and freshening along with an occational steaming. As far as storage goes I keep most of my sweaters in a big 1920's steamer trunk with cedar blocks and handmade herbal sachets...

    A skirt for this sweater

    I am with RR on this one - to go with a pencil skirt. When you accessorise and pull the look together go for a late 40's early 50's look.

    Draw the shades!

    I live in an old apartment building pre 1930's, I think it may even be a hundred years old. I do not know how I lucked out because all of the other tennents have ugly mini blinds but I ended up with these really cool Roman type shades. They are a really thick Linen, cottony, canvas like...

    Pomade in men's hair, ladies?

    I like pomade in a guy's hair - I like the way it looks (like old time movie stars) but I am not one for running my fingers through men's hair so it works for me.

    Rompers

    I had to wear one in the mid 70's which was the worst because it was a cotton polly blend (not good for sweating in)! Mine had tiny blue and white stripes.
