    The grand style & traveling heavy

    Great thread as I'm getting ready to head to New York on Friday :D I usually roll up and try to pack light. I tend to under-pack since I know I will probably end up wearing the same things a few times in a row, and if I need to I can always launder clothes (I always pack extra underwear and...

    Everyday Bags

    I am currently using a vintage purse and a vintage camera bag for work but I find that the camera bag is too small if I want to carry my larger lens with it, and it doesn't fit a notebook or my tablet. So Monday I'm treating myself to this bag (with my birthday money!) Keri is a local-to-me...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    Today I was covering an event celebrating my city in 1911 and I got lots of funny comments. I was told i looked 20s, 40s and 50s, that my hair looked so nice it had to be a wig (I took that as a compliment) and had a nice chat with some older ladies about the pains they went through for beauty...

    Iron Sky and the real question about Nazi experimentation with flying discs...

    I am so incredibly excited for this movie! It looks absolutely phenomenal, regardless of any truth behind it.

    A Cocktail that has really grown on me: The Bloody Mary

    I certainly perfer the Canadian version - the Caesar, made with Clamato juice (that's tomato and clam juice) instead of straight tomato, it really gives it quite the extra oomph. Add a pickled asparagus or a hot pickled jalapeno... delicious! I like mine extra-spicy.

    Show us your hair do's....

    I finally did successful victory rolls! I'm so proud of myself, although my hair has nothing on you lovely ladies :D (ignore the goofy photo...)

    Going to the doctor in the "Golden Era"?

    Hells yeah Tommy D! (Sorry, that's the Saskatchewan in me talking). Back home in my small town things seem to be changing a lot. My sister was discussing on Facebook about how bad it is - you can't schedule something in advance unless it's a pre-op. Instead, you call the day of at 9am and hope...

    New Series "The Hour"

    Hmmm, as a reporter AND a vintage-lover I'll have to find it somewhere to watch too, even if I am disappointed. :/

    A hat fit for a future king

    Kate was also fighting to keep her dress down - maybe they were scared that they hats would take off? (which the more snobby Canadians would think just as horrible, I'm sure). OT: *waves from Alberta to JohnnyCanuck​.

    Now this is more like it! - Duchess of Cambridge in Canada outfit.

    Here's a photo collage from the National Post: I loved the outfit fourth from the left - so stunning! As someone who wasn't really around when Diana was alive, I don't understand the comparisons. She's her own person - who never knew Diana - and I'm sure W&K hate it. My only wish for this...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    At my cousin's wedding this weekend, a few (intoxicated) people asked me and my boyfriend if we were time-travellers [huh]

    Show Us Your Purchases!

    Bought some new (FREE) specs from ClearlyContacts.ca! The glasses were free (originally $88) and I only had to pay for shipping, insurance, lens coating etc, which totaled to $66. I'm very pleased with them :D It's hard to tell in the photos, but they're tortoise shell and pink with...

    The Great Beer Thread

    We did a breakfast theme last week: Oatmeal stout, maple porter and a smoked bacon beer. Coffee beer is coming up on the agenda soon :D You are from Quebec, aren't you? I know Crabbies is hard to find outside the UK, I'm shocked I could find it in Alberta. If I ever visit Quebec again I'll...

    The Great Beer Thread

    Fruli is one of my faves, BlackDahlia! In my native Saskatchewan it's also only $2 - cheaper than pop! I've really been digging Crabbie's Ginger Beer lately, it's so perfect for summer. It has a very strong ginger taste, so beware! I'm also a beer blogger and we're on the look out for...

    Thanks for this! As a vintage and pin-up novice, I look forward to going through these pages. And RockyHorror, you are so gorgeous!

    Show Us Your Purchases!

    I bought my first real vintage item! I picked this 1960s dress up at my local vintage shop for $35 today. It fits like a dream and now I need something fancy to wear it out to.

    Would You Have Said Something?

    Although I highly doubt it, he also could have been a Jehovah's Witness. They have been known (or, at least in my grandmother's parents' case) to not Pledge Allegiance or rise for the national anthem. Of course, I don't really think that was the answer, it's just a though. I agree that it's...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    I was told I looked like a pin-up the other day :D Not only that, but a co-worker later told me that the lady who said it rarely gives compliments, so I must have made quite an impact.

    Show us your hair do's....

    Love the hair RodeoRose! It will feel so nice and light for summer, I'm sure. Yes, I meant Making Faces. I have Face Forward as well. Both great books for learning about anything and everything in the makeup world!
