NicolettaRose-
I was so intensely watching that '30s housedress, it was my dream in plaid! I sniped it ten seconds before the close, and you must've popped in after me. Still, good to know it went to a Lounger, 'specially one who looks so exceedingly lovely in it as you! :)
(That hat is...
Pigeon Toe--
We've only just started writing songs, so won't be out & about for a bit! The only things we're playing now are our friends' parties, but give us about three months & a homemade album will probably be out. Mostly Woody Guthrie & Bessie Smith covers, along with our own songs of...

That's the Streamliner diner, one of my favorite places in town. It's originally from Massachusetts, but SCAD brought it down here & landed it smack in the ghetto, in a parking lot on Henry street.. Being owned & operated by the college makes for odd hours & mediocre food, but...
Oh my. The Thirties is absolutely my decade; & I rarely stray from it, in terms of collecting/wearing/listening. Primarily the late '20s to around 1937, when hemlines got shorter and music went into big-band mode (which I'm not quite fond of). It's perhaps my favorite time in general history--...
LadyStardust: I wanted that dress so bad, but ended rationalizing because summer weather's just over the hill!
My Newest:
Rayon early 40s. The waist has some fabulous ruching. I've got a huge thing for '30s plaids going on, buying like there's no tomorrow.
And--
'30s with lots of red...
I got them along with a black pair at a local shop in Savannah, which was probably looking to restock their store. An amazing stroke of luck, for sure.
... Just high off winning these two adorable '30s shirts for a song:
The peach has cute little bakelite ball buttons.
And also this, for 6 bucks, w/ French knots & embroidery:
Love! But I'll be singing a different tune trying to scrub the stains out!
Finally, these...
I love CHowards' lemon & violet mints, and have certainly acquired the taste for the gum. Just so wonderful to see a product keep its original packaging.
This is amazing, utterly realistic, and gorgeous. I love how all the structures are gently worn, dirty; real. As a historian studying vernacular American architecture & municipal deco, I'm impressed!
Yes, the SAV is all about giant bugs which descend out of trees and land in your hair. Flying palmettos! Thank heavens it's cooler now and most have died off, they are a holy terror. You set one foot on the sidewalk and five of them scatter. I'm in a groundfloor downtown apartment, so they like...
Savannahian for four and a half years! I moved here for school, and truly love it, even those 90+ degree summers. Next year I'm heading up w/ my boy to Brooklyn for work & grad school.
My current routine:
Mornin':
-Coffee & scrambled eggs on rye toast / cornflakes in jadite cereal bowl (how vintage!)
- Peruse the internets, sew what needs sewing, finish schoolwork.
- Shower with Philosopy's Cinnamon Buns.
- Wash/scrub face with Cetaphil plus a bit of baking soda.

... Lately, I've gotten pretty obsessed with Seychelles' shoe line, which are reletively decent-priced and SO 20s-40s inspired.
Such cuteness--:
... I wear these in black as my everyday shoes; they're so comfy.
... And bought these also, to go with a few '30s gowns. Quite...
... My boyfriend & I found some amazing places on our drive to Charleston from Savannah, & took unplanned advantage of them. Luckily I was already wearing a very Dustbowlish dress, circa 1931!
... Speaking of the 3-hour sweater pattern; I'd coerced my mum last year nto knitting it, and it turned out nice, if a bit big--
... Being that she hadn't knitted sweaters for 20-odd years (my baby-sweaters!) it took about a week of sporadic knitting, rather than 3 hours.
She's in the...
