New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

New Lady here

Hello! I´m a new lady and I´m so glad I found this place!

I´m 18 years old, graduating hairdresser.

I have always loved the styles of particularly 30´s ,40´s and 50´s,
but I have just now started to wear vintage styles and manifest my passion in my appearance.

I am looking forward to getting to know all of the wonderful ladies and gentlemans of The fedora lounge.

Leaving My Card...

August Ladies and Gentlemen of the Fedora Lounge,

Hello all! I'm Trevlin, originally from Richmond, recently from Chicago, and currently in Frankfurt, Germany, where I'm living, working, and trying to decide on whether or not to return to America. At present, I'm a writer for a big ol' ad agency. Before that I was a graphic novelist. Before that I was just trouble.

I've worn vintage since '02, when I discovered that there was an option for a small, slender man besides the boy's department. My girlfriend recently pointed out that in the year we've been dating she's seen me dressed in something other than vintage exactly once, and I can be excused for that, since it was an emergency.

Other notable personality quirks involve books, tea, old cars, the Charleston, tandems, hookahs, Krazy Kat, and secret, guilty trips to White Castle by the dark of the moon.

And I'm not as stuck-up as I look in my photo. I was just sedated with lemonade and summer.

There you have it,

Trevlin

Thought I'd just say hello to you all, having lurked here for quite some time now, so: Hello all!

I live in Norway and have spotted a few others living here as well, so a special "Hei hei!" to you.

So with that process all taken care I'm looking forward now to participate in some of the threads spread around here!

Hello! Another Newbie, here! I'm Misty. I have always been fascinated with the 40's and 50's...not so much the 60's. My grandmother was a young woman in the 40's and there isn't a "causal" picture in existence from that time period. I adore that women were always on point back then and that you wouldn't be caught dead without "something on your lips" (As my grandfather would say!)

I am just starting out with the look. I am a complete novice but people have always told me I had a classic face so here I am finally here after all these years. I am green but I can tell you what I learned as of last night...brush rollers were designed by the devil, to be used as some archaic torture device and is cleverly disguised and marketed as a beauty tool. I will never use another brush roller..ever!

A bit about me; I am closer to 30 than 20 these days. My husband has been a Marine for 15 years and I have three very active, very adorable children. I own and operate a Marine Wives website/support community and we are currently station in San Diego but I will always be a mid-west girl at heart.

Tusen takk!
I live in Oslo. And you?

 

[Smithy]

I live up in Trondheim Djupis, although I'm actually a New Zealander.

Used to live in Bodø the first time I lived in Norway.

I think we've got a couple of people from Oslo here and there's one from Bergen. There's also a few Danes and Swedes on here as well.

Hey Ya'll

Ive been randomly chiming in here and there in the forum so i guess i bes introduce myself. My name is Madison. I'm a 22 year old fashion designer from North Carolina. I absolutely adore anything and everything vintage from music to art and of course fashion. I tend to be more attracted to looks from the 50's and 60's Mod.

I know where Pinehurst is located, as well as Fayetteville. Being AWAY from Fayetteville is a good thing.

Again, welcome to the Lounge.
