    Are You a "Serious" Collector? The Categorization of Fedora Loungers.

    I don't know what I am. I like the popular culture and history more so than the fashion, but I do love the fashion as part of it all (if that makes sense). I own several vintage items, but like Lizzie Maine, I only buy it if I can USE it. Like my buffet table, my S&P shakers, various...

    Myths of the Golden Era -- Exploded!

    THIS is the kind of stuff I like to know about the "Golden Era" - FACTS. The fact that not everything was a Hollywood movie, but not everyone was a racist, sexist, chainsmoking wifebeater. Both my grandparents worked in the 30s. I have handwritten letters from my grandmother dated 1937 to...

    Feels like fancy dress.......

    lol I don't wear stockings -- I was a socks-and-flats kind of gal. My husband didn't mind that, but he also dislikes the long skirts. He's British and was dead-set against me dressing like his "gran." He told me she dressed EXACTLY like the way I used to and it was a serious turn-off for...

    Do you see a time when you stop wearing vintage?

    I've never had a bad experience on FB, Flickr, or Pinterest. Of course, I keep it vintage and don't really post pictures of myself (I'm not that interesting lol). I keep some things "private" on my FB (nothing is really private there, though!), but most of my pictures and updates have been...

    Feels like fancy dress.......

    For me personally, there is a time and a place for full-on vintage. I don't like wearing it to work because I'm not taken seriously. I don't like wearing it around my friends, either, because I just want to be relaxed around them. My husband is not attracted to full-on vintage so I do not...

    The Lawrence Welk Show

    My husband and I always catch ourselves watching this. We love it. He loves the women and I also love the old couples dancing! :D It's good, clean fun and we always get a kick out of it.

    MAC to Launch Marilyn Monroe Collection in Autumn 2012

    I agree with this. When you become a celebrity, you ultimately become merchandise. And I can't WAIT for this line to come out -- just hope I don't miss it (damn collections come and go so fast!) lol

    Do you see a time when you stop wearing vintage?

    Yea, I can agree with you on certain points here. I never liked real vintage -- too expensive, never fit me, and too fragile for my clumsiness. So I began to sew from vintage patterns, which was fine until I gained a bit of weight and began to rack up a biggish fabric bill. I sew every now...

    Besame Lipstick sampler available

    Haha! This was me! I clicked the little X in the corner and closed out. I tried Besame in 2007, but wasn't really impressed. I was all set to give them another shot until I saw that shipping charge.

    What are you listening to?

    I usually just put my iPod on shuffle. Lately it has been playing a lot of Al Bowlly. And rockabilly. Al Bowlly and rockabilly is what my iPod likes right now :) I can get with that.

    Movie Characters You Fear You'll Become

    I consider it a GOOD thing if I end up like Tugboat Annie or Norma Desmond!! Personally, I hope I end up like Alice Brady in a lot of her roles -- airheaded. Already there, though lol

    Other than red lipstick

    Alright....I just bought Nicki Minaj Viva Glam lipstick today and it is my new favourite. It's a very bright orangey pink. It's very NEON and makes my lips look they are are photoshopped on lol The texture is perfect for me -- not as greasy as the Lady Gaga lipsticks, but not overly-dry. Not...

    Things you bought because they appeared in the Fedora Lounge

    I love looking at pictures of other people -- especially those who have similar interests. I love reading their blogs, too, as a little glimpse into their lives. I don't think this is "creepy" -- I find it inspirational. I've found better self-esteem, too :D
