update
Seller claims he could sell it in Asia and make a lot more money but wants to give it to Ebay buyers FIRST! Lapels are supposed to have what looks like leftover blood stains. By the way, hate the new Ebay look.
I met Rita Hayworth at a party once. She was in her early sixties and was still beautiful but what was captivating were her eyes. They were a warm brandy color with gold flecks in them. When you saw her eyes you knew why everyone fell in love with her. She was very sweet and polite.
A kind of funny and at the same time sad thread. From the vantage of age one can look back and realize how much time was wasted in all the worry of -how do I look, what do I say etc. I feel sorry for the current generation because there is so much pressure on them. They have so much exposure...
I can't believe I missed the 1939 Worlds Fair cufflink/belt buckle auction. I have been looking for them for the past year. Damn! I ended up last week on getting two glass WF buttons (identical to the Ebay items) and putting on cufflink backs. If I could figure out how to post photo from...
tie him up
Go on Ebay and do a search for vintage neckties. You can find really great 40s ties and he can wear it casually without having to do the whole suit thing. A tie is almost one of the first things you see on someone and it screams vintage.:)
Hope this works
Never did a photo attachment before so I hope this works. Photo is of a 'regular' Brook Bros. shirt. The button was removed and a second opening replaced it. Works exactly as I wanted. Thanks again Slim Portly.
I am searching for a 40s (grey or navy) pin stripe suit (not DB) 38S -waist 31, inseam 30. This would be my first vintage suit purchase and thought I would try the lounge before Ebay. Thank you. Lagunie
Try hunching and rolling your shoulders whenever you feel discomfort. Also, before you go to bed take an Aleve. Your sleep position has a lot to do with how your body feels. Hope you feel better soon.
Binkie - one of the biggest changes in the last fifty years has been the loss of space. Up until the 60s - Wilshire Blvd still had many empty lots. And little traffic. A drive from Hollywood to the beach along Santa Monica Blvd. took about 30+ minutes and you could find parking once you got...
HELP
Bought a pair of cufflinks off Ebay and they are exactly what I wanted - EXCEPT that the swivel backs are loose. I know I'm stuck but has anyone any suggestion on how they can be made 'tighter' so that they don't slip out of the shirt cuff? Any help would really be appreciated. Thanks...
for Martini
I took an acting class at UCLA (history major but I later ended up working in television) and I did a scene with George Takei. We weren't friends, just classmates and I only saw him after on television. Small world. Got 20 years on you. If you tell me you were also in the Coast...
response to Martinis at 8
Actually, that was the only time I didn't go to school in southern California. I spent my jr. high school days in Oakland at McChesney Jr High - which I really hated. When I returned to Hollywood and entered HHS I also started working at Grauman's Chinese as an...
Heaven calling
Grew up in Hollywood and graduated from Hollywood High when it was beautiful. Drove by it a few years ago and gasped! Lived mostly in the West Hollywood area. Now live in (please don't hate me) Laguna Beach. Died and went to heaven.
re: Gross
I think the internet makes people forget their manners when they are asked opinions or given a chance to voice one (or type in this situation). One may not approve of having a suit made for a young child and there is no harm in saying that. It's an opinion. But to use the word...
