    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    Last week a lady (a very stylish lady I will add but not vintage wearing) at my work came up to me to tell me she really loved my 1940's look, she said to me you dress in vintage every day don't you? My reply was thank you so much and yes for the most part I do - except funny thing was that I...

    In Praise of FL Lurkers

    I was also never a lurker as soon as I stumbled upon the joint I signed up but that was because I did not know anything about forums or much about computors at that time. B

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    I got a very nice comment from a young guy I work with today (I just started a new job and about 25 of us are in 6 weeks of training with week 2 down). It was requested that we dress really nice today because we had executives from back east in, I always dress very nice but I stepped it up a...

    Part of the reason that men in certain communities may be wearing a three piece suit and waistcoat because they may believe that it may give them an edge to getting and keeping a job (sets them apart from them pack and they appear to be a serious contender in the job market), the way I look at...

    Advice on choosing a vintage style or decade.

    Paul, I am agreement with most of the others here: I think first and foremost the 20's suits you very well with the 50's as a close second. I think you would look very nice with a warm chocolate brown fingerwaved wig with your 20's outfits IMHO. Brooksie

    It isn't Christmas Till you Have Heard This Song!

    For me it is not Christmas until I hear Bing Crosby's I'll be home for Christmas...I always have a vision of a WWII soldier expressing this sentiment to his sweetheart or bride. Brooksie

    Ladies, What kind of vintage car would you love to cruise in?

    I am with Lillemor - I like the Studebaker but for me it is not just any ol' Studebaker it is the 1950's Starlight Coupe. I actually saw a beautiful black one wizzing through downtown Portland about 6 weeks ago now and I thought wow what is that car, cause I gotta have one someday. It is funny...
