I have an opposite one:
RED HEADED WOMAN (1932)
The movie is outstanding so I bought the book it was based off of. The book is dreadful. Lil Andrews is whiny and annoying -- which doesn't make her sexy in the least. I'm glad Hollywood trashed it up :D
It's about time it came back, I guess lol My sister has a prom picture from 1993 where she has on a frilly black dress with Docs. Her date has on Converse sneakers and an over-sized 70s blazer he got from Goodwill. It's hilarious and incredibly NINETIES!!!
I have pictures of me with ugly...
Especially the early 90s -- it was still kind of the 80s. Women wore shoulder pads, had big bangs, frizzy perms, they wore mannish button-up shirts tucked into "mom jeans", sometimes with cowboy boots. Then there was the "alternative" fad of babydoll dresses, dirty hair, and Doc Martins with...
Am I the only one who can spot 90s fashion from a mile away? Granted, it's not as dramatic as 1962 to 1982, but stuff from 1992 is very recognizable to me. I seem to have a talent for "dating" stuff and I'm usually right, give or take a year. I'm actually starting to recognize stuff from the...
I have been giggling non-stop for about three days now (must be hormonal!) and this just set me off. I can only imagine. A sing-along would horrify me, too. I'd be embarassed if I were in either situation.
Everyone's hair looks good!! Retro_Gi_Jane = NICE BARBIES :D
I bought Belle Blossoms "mini" roses and they ain't very mini! I was happy with their hugeness -- I was expecting much smaller....
I sometimes talk like movies from the 30s just to goof around -- my favourite is a big loud "OH, YEA!" Winnie Lightner style! lol Adrienne Dore called a guy a "fresh egg" in the movie The Wild Party (1929) and I say that all the time to be goofy, but otherwise I am me and I fully admit to and...
Same here.
Look at our avatars, too!
As for Wikipedia, I find it handy to look up a celebrity's birth/death date or maybe get a band discography or cover art for my iPod, but I don't use it for heavy school research.
I follow my heart. Luckily for me, I love late 30s/pre-War 40s the most and they happen to look the best on me, too. I don't dress vintage-y everyday, though, and what I do wear I make myself from real patterns (can't stand real vintage clothing, sorry lol)
Early 30s skirts make me look...
I've waned in posting here over the past year. I've said all I can say, I guess.
I still contribute when I can -- especially picture threads. I'm the vintage picture queen. lol
But the love for vintage will always be there. People have come and gone over the 5 years I've been visiting...
