    girls in guy's garb

    Women on the cover sure are attractive! Thanks for sharing. Was there an onset of controversy of women donning men's clothing at the time? I have heard that there was a lot of experimentation with crossdressing in the 20's.

    What would you not be seen dead in?

    I've wanted to vent about this issue, but have never found a good opening for it. This happens all. the damn. time. I have even had people say "nice suit" or "why are you wearing a suit" when I don't even HAVE a coat on. Also had a friend sarcastically say "nice suit" when I only had an...

    A couple of fashion pet peeves...

    Who thought this was a good idea? At that point, the groom might as well show up in work clothes, which would probably be more formal than this corny yee-haw garb

    What Was The Last Radio Program You Heard?

    I found the entirety of Orson Welles' War of the Worlds. It was a very captivating radio drama, and it's no wonder some believed the news briefs were real. Very immersing.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Just finished The African Queen, starring Hepburn and Bogart as the two dynamic stars. Glad I could finally see this one before it inexplicably gets removed from Netflix, as they did with Blazing Saddles. Nonetheless, you see Bogey in probably one of his best roles in this one. There was never a...

    Advice Needed: Buying a Tuxedo

    https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F111894834316 I thought this cummerbund set seemed cool, not that I'm sure it would interest you particularly :). I haven't needed a tuxedo yet, but I fear my process will be pricier than yours, because I would be...

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    What Are You Reading

    This I may have to look into. Thanks, Lizzie! Unfortunately, I have not had much time to read lately. However, I want to peep out Lord of the Flies eventually, many friends of mine have read it and presented positive feedback.

    What Are You Reading

    And you would be right with that. That's what I can appreciate about the book. The rest is, frankly, too boring for me. Huxley's writing style is peculiar, at best.

    What Are You Reading

    Currently reading Brave New World as a mandatory read for school. While I do find some pleasure in some of the commentary from author Aldous Huxley, it's not my kind of style. Prior to this, we read Animal Farm as a class, which I thoroughly enjoyed.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Today I watched Shadow of a Doubt. The movie was great, I was engaged all throughout the story. The maniacal and mysterious attitude of Uncle Charlie reminded me of Bruno from Strangers on a Train, another Hitchcock classic. I bet a lot of other murder mysteries follow this trope as well. I've...

    Wearing Vintage Shoes

    How much experience have you had wearing vintage shoes? if any, was there any positive aspects of it? This is more or less off topic, but a neighbor of mine, a former serviceman that avidly collects WW2 militaria, claimed that pretty much all clothing from this period is impractical and...

    Boater faction!

    Can any boater owners tell me how long one in good condition would last me when worn almost everyday each summer (assuming it'll last more than one, which I'd hope)?

    A couple of fashion pet peeves...

    Well, I always thought larger men looked great in three piece suits. There is a stigma around them, though, generally that they make you look too conservative. I would personally love a 1930s double breasted vest.

    Here is why there are so many tiny and so few large vintage hats

    I've observed this as well, and I always wondered why there wasn't more of an abundance of sizes over 7 than under 7. My size is a 7, the gray area in my view. Interestingly, I've heard that American GI's during WW2 were of smaller stature at the time, partly because they were the generation...

    I sometimes question if pinup ties were actually meant to be worn.

    They seem to have a diverse and colorful stock. Are they reputable? How do I go about making an exchange with them?

    Wearing Vintage Shoes

    My, my, thanks for this observation. I was wondering why these haven't already been swiped. It's funny because the seller uses "museum quality" to describe them. I wonder why these babies haven't been sold yet: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/332499970962...
