    The Pinup Thread

    The links you attached are great examples. I would say use old photos like that as inspiration. That is what I am doing with my new art series. But yes, keep it classy.

    Wow! That leather suit is amazing!

    Nice. That Elvgren-esque telephone girl is a cutie!

    Show us your Vintage Office Supplies.

    Nice fan! I'm more of an Emerson Silver Swan type of guy myself, but I love seeing any vintage fans in use. And I'm sure there were isolated cases of kids hurting their fingers in fans, but in general I bet they had more common sense than kids today do. I just hate the CYA policy businesses...

    Show us your vintage home!

    This is a great thread! Tatum, I just noticed the phonebooth -- Ahhhh, I would kill to have a phonebooth in our house. Kidding of course. I saw one years ago at an antique mall for something like $1500. Nice natural wood panels and all, probably 1930s, but way out of my price range. Years...

    Favorite Historic Buildings or Places

    Route 66 -- That is a great choice for historic place/building -- and that little motel is so cute. I hate when perfectly good buildings are leveled like that though, especially when they survived intact for so long.

    1920s Paint Colors?

    Oh, I would love to find an old stucco exterior, streamline house for sale -- that I could afford! I would probably paint some of the walls a steely blue grey. Agreed though, for an early 20s house, it was much more common and likely to have wallpaper up.

    Let's go for a drive...Billboards of 1932

    Agreed, Shorpy is a great site. I have a penchant for the lovely girls of the 20s, so I always have to check in there for any "new" photos with female subject matter. Funny how some of the Shorpy commentators fall in love with those 100+ year old gals!

    traveling in the golden era

    Interesting topic. I found a four piece Wheary suitcase set from the 30s awhile back, which would lead me to believe a couple should be able to pack all they need in 3 or 4 pieces -- if they packed well.

    Myths of the Golden Era -- Exploded!

    Oh man, love it!

    Let's go for a drive...Billboards of 1932

    So interesting! I love to see things like this that are fleeting, and rarely documented. I was struck by the images showing huge signs on the roofs of relatively small buildings.

    Does your vintage wardrobe have to match your vintage house?

    Well, someday I would love to own a vintage 30s Tudor style home, but the only ones we could afford barely had 1600 sq.ft., so we ended up in a newer home with vintage furniture and clothing.

    I'm not sure she was ever a "girl", but I could only choose Garbo...

    Let's See Your Watches! The Vintage Watch Thread.

    I felt the same way, but because I have so many watches, I decided to take the plunge and bought a fairly nice watch repair kit for around $30 on ebay, I believe. The only tricky part is some casebacks are harder than others to pop off. Otherwise, it was money well spent.

    My Finest ART DECO Item

    I'm going to take some photos of some of my deco stuff over the weekend. I found a really neat 1930s dentist cabinet a few years back that I really like. In the meantime, keep this thread going, I love it!

    Barbie photos

    Wow, I was just minding my own business, doing a search for vintage swimsuits for art reference and up pops this older topic Johanna had posted. I just had to say -- I have no interest in Barbies personally, but I do know enough to recognize that she is a dead ringer (as everyone else here has...

    What was your first car?

    I looked at the sky high prices for 59 Caddy's recently and thought about what could have been. The 80s were a great time for picking up old classics if you had the cash. Too bad I was a lowly student back then...

    The Artist

    To me, George and Peppy sort of paralleled Garbo and John Gilbert. She came to Hollywood as a relative nobody, while Gilbert was probably the #2 leading man, under Valentino. After she successfully transitioned into the talkies, Gilbert's career was on a downward spiral, so she tried to help...
