    when you dress in Vintage do you also think & act, talk like they did from the era?

    to fully get into vintage I think you also need to have the same thinking, behavior, mannerisms, talk, etc the same as a person from that era to fully look the part no modern slang or anything, only old fashioned manners and etiquette, morals, etc

    do you think donating items to a MUSEUM is a good idea? have you ever donated?

    I have some historical military items I was thinking of donating to local museums so it helps preserve it for future generations to see, instead of sitting in private collections never to be seen by the public. I heard some museums end up reselling items to raise money for the museum?
