Yes, Anon modeled two tuxes and a dinner jacket belonging to Guttersnipe that I sold for him as a favor, and one tux that is actually inventory. And the man can wear a tux! (I'm glad things are recognizable - its one of the reasons I decided to go the modeling route for men, so everything would...- pdxvintagette

I've been trying to hold myself back... but, I can't. The lounge's own Anon is now modeling for my business! For those of you who haven't seen him without his beard - well, quite frankly he's kind of a looker. Don't razz him TOO much for it. (pretty please!)- pdxvintagette

Favorite Non Red Lipstick Shades
My "everyday" shade that I use for outfits that can't handle red is Mac's COSMO. It is a pink that has a slightly natural look to it. Has a little more gloss than I normal wear and I sometimes lightly powder it. Definitely wears differently than it looks, worth a try-on the next time you're at...- pdxvintagette

Cute Vintage-y Shoes
Oh my god! My shoe lust just jumped up about a thousand degrees! The COLOR! It's perfect. As to the peep, it is a little more 1950's-esque but somethings must be forgiven when we're talking about green-suede ankle-strap heels!- pdxvintagette

Formal Wear Primer
Terminology help? Okay fellas, what is the name of that feature on dinner jackets for the closure - two buttons attached by a long string? They can be worn closed normally or with buttons through both sides of the jacket. Thanks for your help! Cheers, Julie- pdxvintagette

the leopard can never change its spots
I LOVE this thread, and every new photograph makes me just SWOON! There's been a couple of those "no real fur" comments, so it makes me hesitant to post this. No flames, alright? I wear VINTAGE fur and love it, and I'm just posting to make a personal contribution. This coat was purchased as a...- pdxvintagette

Vintage Desecration - Things Altered/Repurposed, and a Vintage Treasure Lost Forever.
You know, you should be careful what you post. Some of us having just eaten. That is nothing short of appalling. Tomasso, I think it is the folks that did that horrid job you ought to be putting the match to! Burning them at the stake would be an incredibly traditional, vintage way of dealing...- pdxvintagette

Crazy driving in 1939!
A Portland FLounger just turned me onto this thread... but I see that no one else in Portland has actually made a comment! It is really wild to see this when you actually know the intersections and drive 'em on a daily or weekly basis. Have to say, 6th and Yamhill still is heavy with nutty...- pdxvintagette

“Return to the Hundred Acre Wood"
I know this sounds funny, but is there any slight inflection or different way of pronouncing "Pooh" that sounds different from "poo?" Try saying it like it has German umlauts or something. And I gotta say, it's your own fault... should have just stuck with "nummer two" Thanks, Tim. :)...- pdxvintagette

How Are You Shopping for Christmas This Year (and What are you Buying?)
It's Black Friday. I thought it might be nice to see how Loungers like to shop for Christmas... or even if your shopping habits are changing this year. I find that I feel the need to buy less gifts each year. My friends know I appreciate them, and besides, they drink my liquor year round...- pdxvintagette

Etsy
Wow! I just learned a new trick. For those here who are selling on Etsy, are you aware of etsyhacks? I had no clue... it's a freebie that only works with Firefox, but has some nifty little applications to help smooth out the listing process. "Copy Listing" "Edit Listing" - from the actual item...- pdxvintagette

To tailor or not to tailor? When cost becomes the question
I think the shift in focus on this thread has been rather interesting, if unhelpful. The OP asked for evaluation of whether the high cost of a quality alteration would be worth the final product. But somehow, it became about the ethics if the alteration. I find this a little odd, since some of...- pdxvintagette

Vintage Desecration - Things Altered/Repurposed, and a Vintage Treasure Lost Forever.
Reetpleat, you wouldn't believe the things that woman takes apart. I've been in her booth and seen PERFECT white 50's prom dresses - that she just layered upon layer things onto. In fact, one had only one thing added to it, and I think it could have been removed... but the dress was $350...- pdxvintagette

Is that one color black? If so, you have the pick of the litter of everything ... the best things always come in black. Thanks for your comments, I had no idea so many people on the lounge were already aware of my shop! Gives me all sorts of warm fuzzies.- pdxvintagette

Vintage Desecration - Things Altered/Repurposed, and a Vintage Treasure Lost Forever.
The new term for it is "upcycled" - trying to put a positive spin on the destruction. They see it and market it as an "improvement" to the item. I can't really afford to trash on Etsy sellers, since I make my business there, but this local gal gets ALL my ire and hatred for those who destroy...- pdxvintagette

How to avoid looking like emo / rockabilly / scene ???
Keeping Warm 40's Style While I am a big fan of cardigans, there are many that don't look good on me. There are some very flattering styles, but they are much harder to find. So what I often use instead is orphaned ladies suit jackets over my dresses - they are usually wool, or sometimes...- pdxvintagette

Was there such thing as comfy clothes???
Utter comfort? The button front house dresses are great, but I am shocked no one has mentioned 40s and 50s swirl wrap dresses! There's a whole thread about them, but I am posting from my phone, so I can't grab the link. Cute as can be, and without a doubt the vintage equivalent of sweats...- pdxvintagette
