    Features on Men

    For the purely superficial reasons, he must be tall, swarthy, and handsome, with mischievious eyes and a dashing smile. Fortunately, I found that plus a silly goofball who makes me laugh and is also smart as a whip. Oh, and he's a snappy dresser. I'm a lucky girl...

    THE DERBY memories

    I was a regular at the Derby from its opening until around 2000 or so. We'd go when Royal Crown Revue was the "house" band, then when Big Bad Voodoo Daddy was the Wednesday night band. In fact, it was on a BBVD night that I met my husband in 1996. He's also in the Derby scene of Swingers...

    For the love of coats!

    I am in love with vintage coats and jackets! Living in L.A. it seems a little counter-intuitive, but our coat closet (my husband is the same way) is filled to overflowing with gabardine coats, strollers, swing jackets, car coats, Pendleton '49ers, and more! We should live in a colder climate. I...

    Vintage Fabric and Notions

    Fabric question For those ladies who sew, where do you find your fabric to complement your vintage patterns? Large-city downtown fabric marts, local sewing stores like Jo-Anns? Do you scour eBay for non-rotted vintage fabric? I'm getting an itch to sew, but I'm way out of practice!

    Darn moths!

    First of all ladies, I apologize for being absent of late, but work is getting the best of me... In honor of the fall equinox, I'm changing out my summer wardrobe for the winter. I pull out my vintage suits, and I find that moths have gotten to some of them! I'm soooo angry. I hate moths! I...

    Vintage Daily Wear

    Doe--Will you please let me know if you find a good sewing class? I'm also in the L.A. area, and it's been years since I took a class. I've done a few of my own alterations, but the last thing I made from scratch is a pencil skirt in 1993! I believe the Singer store in Burbank offers/offered...

    Vintage Shoes

    I too love the Olvera Street wedgies! I probably have 6 pairs of them. Does anyone remember when they were $15? Then the word got out around the swing scene and suddenly they were charging $25, then $35. I don't know how much they're going for today; I don't need any right now, thank goodness...
