    Ercelle Tisby?

    Is anyone familiar with the doo wop singer Ercelle Tisby? Google had little to offer other than a few songs. I'm hoping there may be a doo wop fanatic around here that can help. Thanks!

    costume party scenes?

    My daughter and I are looking for 30's - 40s movies with costume party or masquerade ball scenes. Can anyone think of any? They don't have to be available for rent or purchase. I know I've seen several, but my mind is just blank now that I'm looking for them. Thanks!

    1949 Plymouth for sale Los Angeles area

    This is our 1949 Plymouth Club Coupe. We had hoped she would have her "debut" this summer as the baby sister of all the other Plymouths around here. She was bought as a restoration project and future car for my daughter while we were living in Washington, but now we find we just don't have the...

    Happy Birthday Benny Holiday!

    Today, April 15th, is Benny Holiday's birthday. But in a way, he is going to miss it. He flew out of Los Angeles yesterday. April 14th. Because of the time change he arrives back in Australia on the 16th, basically skipping over the 15th. However, here in L.A. it is still the 15th. So...

    Trench Art: Rank & File Art Work From the Front Lines

    I didn't want to hijack the Hobo Nickels thread so I decided to start a new thread regarding trench art. I was just wondering if anyone collects or owns any trench art pieces. I haven't really started collecting yet, but it's something I've been interested in for a while. The only pieces...

    Cancer fundraiser. How much can Fedora Lounge help?

    I know there is an event topic about the 24 hour danceathon, but this post is about the donations rather than the where and when of the event. So I hope I don't annoy the bartenders by posting a parallel thread. Anyway, I'll get right to the point. The topic of cancer has been in several...

    40's repro ladies pants for sale plus more

    Hi Girls, I'm doing some closet cleaning and have a few goodies for sale. First up, a pair of ladies 1940's style side button pants. I got them not long ago, but they just don't sit right on me. I have the same problem with vintage pants most of the time, too, but am occasionally lucky...

    My dear friend passed away today

    Those of you who know me probably remember that every November I knock myself out dancing in a 24 hour cancer danceathon to raise money for cancer research. And you probably also know that one of the people I danced for was my dear friend Nikki. Today she lost long battle with cancer. And...

    My eBay account got hacked

    Has this happened to anyone else lately? I've re-claimed it, but it was a pain. When I couldn't log in, at first I thought it was a glitch on their end. But when I tried the "forgot password" link, I got a secret question I would never have picked. I checked our email account that we used...

    The School Bully

    So...I was poking around online last night and stumbled across the guy who tormented me mercilessly in high school. I was a sophomore and he was junior. Anyway, he threw things at me, made rude noises when I walked by, or yelled things at me, and more. He intimidated and embarrassed me so...

    Washing seersucker?

    I just bought this seersucker shorts set on ebay. I don't know anything about this material, other than that my kids hate how it feels. Does anyone have experience with washing it? [huh] Any specific do's or don'ts? Any information would be most helpful. Thanks! Trix

    Western Rope Dance

    Just wanted to share one of my favorite old movie dance numbers. It's from the Red Skelton movie "I Dood It". For a dancer, Eleanor Powell's rope work is pretty impressive.

    About Kirk

    Hi Everyone, I decided to repost this it on it's own so it doesn't get lost before people who asked for updates can see it. I hope that's okay. Thanks also, to the people who saw this already and sent their best wishes. Thank you all. Trix

    40's plastic wall tiles

    Just thought I'd share. I found these in a thrift store a few weeks ago and bought the 6 boxes they had. The box lettering caught my eye first, then I recognized the tile from an ad in my 1949 Sears catalog. They're plastic wall tiles that were sort of a "do-it-yourself and save money" thing...

    Those that pray, please pray for my friend.

    Vintage Manicures

    I searched last night and saw that a small amount of recent discussion here was on nail polish/doing nails. I hadn't really noticed the unpainted 'moon' in my films or photos, but I did notice that unlike today's squared off, really long nails, ladies had their nails more of a medium length...

    Vintage Christmas Decor

    Hey there, Well, some of the girls here were asking about my vintage Christmas decorations so I decided I'd display some of them here in the Display Case. We do our tree with mostly vintage ornaments ( 40's and 50's ) plus a handleful of modern ones that have sentimental value. We also have...

    Classic Holiday Foods

    I know we've touched on the golden era foods, but a funny incident at our house on Thanksgiving got me thinking about vintage era holiday foods AND their presentation. Here's what happened while I was getting ready to serve Thanksgiving dinner. We were having Wild Root over, and as always...
