    Ooh, that's one spectacularly gorgeous buckle!

    Boater faction!

    It fit my husband, and I'm kind of hoping to convince him to wear it to the Gatsby Picnic (though that'll be in October - perhaps past boater season?). I figure if he doesn't take to it, I might just make it mine.......

    Boater faction!

    I reckon you people in the know can tell me if this boater is worth the money; it's on offer at a vintage market and I'm considering going back tomorrow to get it. The dealer said she'd take $25, is that a good deal?

    I found a big box of magazines that included this 1943-44 Butterick pattern book. Trying to mind my budget, I chose 4 magazines and asked if the guy would take xx dollars for them. He said, "for a little more you can have the whole box." He meant it too, and the whole shebang has come home...

    Discontinued!

    The way you said that, it sounded as if the entire company is gone, which put me in a momentary panic, despite having received a catalog just the other week. It is frustrating, though, how they regularly introduce a product only to discontinue within a year or two. I adored their Extreme...

    More 'vintage' beach dress

    J. Peterman always has some wide-legged, classy-but-casual trousers in the ladies' department. I know it's a pricey joint, but checking the clearance and last chance offerings can turn up some sweet bargains.

    Any ladies still sporting a pixie cut?

    Just when I was starting to experiment with wave clips and figuring out some 20s looks, I got my annual haircut; though I showed the stylist a photo of short, wispy, flat, pseudo-Audrey hair, at some point she got out a boatload of product and the blow dryer, causing me to go home looking like...

    Churchill's cigar air-brushed out...

    Six members when I joined, and me, the man, and a pal have increased the volume by 33%. Talk about activism! ;)

    Churchill's cigar air-brushed out...

    Indeed. While it's not in the top ten of "things that get me riled up", the situation is curious enough, and I'm game enough to join the group. Ditto my Churchill-admiring, British Mister. ;)

    Has anyone some thoughts on this skirt, regarding era or purpose? The white part above the pleats is satiny, like a crinoline lining would be. It fits snuggly over the hips, with the pleated part beginning at the lower hip/upper thigh. When wearing it, all I can think to do is add a long...

    Too true, and I be this exhibit won't fizzle out by one point in the final second. ;)

    Hollywood Costume Design

    I wasn't sure where to post this, but it has me so excited I had to share it somewhere. Look what's coming to the OK City Museum of Art next week! http://www.okcmoa.com//sketchtoscreen

    Is this a 40's type cut?

    I'll defer to the style pros when they appear, but my first impression is more 50s. It reminds me of Liz Taylor's hair in "Suddenly, Last Summer."

    Zelda : The Magazine of the Vintage Nouveau - Issue 2 Now Available!

    Looking forward to it! A photographer pal of mine did an epic project for Oklahoma's centennial in 2007, searching the state for centenarians, taking their pictures and collecting their stories. Doris was one of the most popular ones, and you should see the gorgeous sepia photo of her posing in...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Tonight we watched William Castle's "Shank", with Marcel Marceau, that I recorded from TCM a few weeks ago. Not an easy film to describe at all, though words like weird, bizarre, haunting, otherworldly, mime, zombie, black humor, and "ooh I want that morning coat" come to mind.

    What Are You Reading

    I am finding it enjoyable. Though I haven't read "Flapper", I've gone through most of the Scott and Zelda biographical material, and things like "All Night Party": So, as you mentioned, it is nice to get the British perspective which was both very similar and very different. Of course...

    family members on the "wrong" side

    All I have to add is this: one of my longtime friends had a German mother and a U.S. serviceman father. She said to me (yes, with a bit of irony I'm sure) - "my German grandfather looked so handsome in his SS uniform."
