    Thanks! I'd been after one for a while myself. :)

    Show Us Your Purchases!

    I haven't posted here in ages, but I thought I'd come out of lurkerdom to share my latest purchase: Bakelite cherries are finally mine!

    Besame cosmetics

    My jaw practically dropped when I saw everything that was getting discontinued, but on the bright side, the great prices gave me an excuse to go on a small shopping spree. Now I'm just afraid I'll end up loving everything I bought and have no way to repurchase when it's all gone! I do have to...

    Lucite purses

    Oooh, great pictures -- thanks for sharing! I started collecting lucite purses a few years ago and I'm absolutely crazy about them. I've been lucky enough to buy all of mine from flea markets and garage sales, so they've cost a fraction of what the ones on Ebay bring. Here's a picture of my...

    Goldwyn Girl, your house looks absolutely perfect! I can't wait to see more pictures. :)

    Enchanted

    I just saw it earlier this week and loved it! (Of course, I was crazy about Disney princesses when I was a little girl, so I may be biased.) It's really a lot of fun, and so much better than the last recent musical I saw (Hairspray).

    TVLand; Going the way of A&E and AMC?

    I have been mad at TVLand ever since they stopped airing I Dream of Jeannie a few years ago, and it's all gotten worse from there. At this point it's hard to believe they ever featured '50s shows, since nowadays it seems like the same five '70s and '80s shows (and Andy Griffith) are all that's...

    Victoria Beckham, has gone all 1940s on us

    I think she looks great in the photo. She always was my favorite Spice Girl!

    Precious...

    I'm going with AllAboutEve on this one too. (Great post by the way!) I would applaud anyone who at least has enough of a sincere interest to make an effort at vintage style. Are there particular things I would never wear? Well yes, but I wouldn't begrudge anyone else's right to wear them...

    Number of handbags and pairs of shoes?

    I have a hard time finding shoes that are comfortable and/or don't fall off my feet (mine are super-narrow!) so I "only" have 15 pairs or so. Purses on the other hand...I really don't want to think about how many I've accumulated over the years. I collect lucite purses, but I refuse to pay...

    Show Us Your Purchases!

    Ha, I wish they were that interesting! The six secrets could basically be summed by the last sentence of the article, which was that husbands should not confide in their wives, because the man's confessions (he may not want a house in the suburbs, or he's been in love before) would upset them...

    If you were told "pick one album to explain what being in love is"...

    Presenting the Fabulous Ronettes, no question. On a somewhat unrelated note, it's nice to see other Magnetic Fields fans here. Stephin Merritt is my favorite current songwriter.

    Vintage Jewelry

    Mojito -- that jewelry is absolutely stunning, and the fact that there's such a nice story behind makes it even better.

    who mixes it up?

    I always tell myself that when I'm wearing '40s-style shoes, my '50s glasses and a '60s coat. Unless you're wearing something costumey that screams a certain era (like a poodle skirt and saddle shoes), I really don't think the average person knows the difference between a '40s or '50s outfit or...

    OUT OF THE PAST

    It's one of my all-time favorites. The dialogue is fantastic!

    That is a lovely set, Joli! I particularly like the vanity.

    Lace it up - The true Corset thread

    I've wanted a corset ever since I was 16 and working at Frederick's of Hollywood. The price of a real corset put me off for years, but I finally bought my first one in December, and absolutely love it! Unfortunately, I only have one not-very-good photo of it, though this thread may give me an...

    Bad Vintage Movies

    I'm a lady and I love Something Weird as well! In fact, I've been planning on making another order with them soon.

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    I have to agree with everyone else here about the comfort of Re-mix shoes. The vast majority of shoes hurt my feet (or fall right off of them -- I have very narrow feet), but not my Re-mix wedges. For reference, I have the "Gloria" ones. I wore them to a huge comic convention last summer...
