Saturday, March 23, our very own Wildroot and Miss 1940's are tying the knot at the Church of the Recessional, Glendale Forest Lawn. I'll be there as Matron of Honor, and will post pics later on. But please drop by here and wish them a long and happy life together! Such sweet kids!
Hello Ladies of the Lounge - I hope you can help me to keep a look out for the items in this picture. It's a long shot but with many people watching Ebay, Etsy and Craigslist, we might catch them. They also stole 2 flatscreen monitors, 2 guitars, and worst, a Jaguar XJ6. So sad.
I will alert...

One of the first, and longest-published, womens magazines was the Delineator, which was invented as a monthly catalog for the Butterick pattern company as a vehicle to show the fashions.
It started in the late 1880s, and ended in 1937 when it merged with Pictorial Review.
I have the entire...

These things are all on Etsy, where my user name is Miss1929, but you can also contact me directly through the FL. However, more info, measurements, and more pictures of each are on Etsy. I hope it's OK to mention that here! The sticky doesn't say not to.

For the crisis in 1939 and 2009!
Goodness knows I have bought enough over the years...time for Ebay to pay me for a change.
You can find me on Ebay also as Miss 1929, with a space, just as written.

Hello gentlemen -
My nephew, who is 12, has expressed a desire for the Monopoly Man outfit, for a school play, and then for Steampunk role-playing use after! So I am on the hunt for either the striped trouser/cutaway/ascot look, or white tie and tails would work well too. Or even a frock coat...
So says this new book:

Yesterday afternoon, I was having a conversation with someone about how even a fax is exciting now that we mostly get email. I posited that the best of all is a real letter, but that I hadn't gotten one in years.
Then the mail came!
And in it was the sweetest typed fan letter, with lots of...
I have a pair - sadly, they run not wide enough for my wide feet, so even though I am truly a 6.5 EEE, only an 8 would let me into the shoe. Of course, it was stupid, it really doesn't fit. The arch doesn't match up.
So if any of you want them.. give me a PM and we will talk about price. I...
Vents are NOT attractive!
One of the nice things about pre-war jackets is the lack of vents.
If you need room when you sit down, you unbutton.
Vents, either single or double, say 1970s to me in a loud voice - if you like the 70s, you probably have to live with them opening, or perhaps buy the...
