    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I just watched In The Year 2889 (1967). Ha! It was terrible! I loved it! It's was so awful I really wanted that rain to come and kill everyone. lol But as I said, I loved it. Despite it's rep, I didn't think it was that bad. It wasn't dull in the slightest. Everyone was so terrible...

    How to be a Good Wife in the 1930s

    This. When I read things like this I think of similar things from today that most intelligent women get a good laugh out of.

    Can you help me date this item??

    I have a sewing machine almost identical that was my grandmother's from 1938. http://www.searsarchives.com/history/files/sewing_id.pdf This list gives all the model numbers and the years they were produced. You should be able to find it here.

    Add to the vintage pattern Wiki!

    How on earth do you add? I know I have some that aren't on there. I signed in with my Facebook account and see nothing that says I can add something?

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    The Flaming Urge from 1953 starring Harold Lloyd, Jr., who didn't inherit any type of acting talent from either of his parents. The movie itself is, um, interesting if you know what it's REALLY about ;)

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Swing Hostess (1944) with Martha Tilton! Oh boy, now I want me one of those automatic hostess jukeboxes! I've also been watching the Ivan Besse(?) amateur movies from 1938 of ordinary people walking down the street in a small SD town. My friend and I teased and said they must be "fake"...

    I can't find any mention of anything being named after Joe Penner on google. But I know I've heard the name! Maybe I'm having memories from my past life!! :)

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Thanks, LM! I always like knowing about celebrities that have associations with this city. I know I've heard his name many times throughout my life, possibly on news or local tv shows. I'm wondering if something was ever named after him? And that's why I always associated the name with...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Last night I watched The Life Of The Party (1937) with Joe Penner, Harriet Hilliard, and Gene Raymond. Also fabulous appearances by Margaret Dumont and Ann Miller! Can someone tell me more about Joe Penner? Did he live in Philadelphia? I've heard his name thrown about as a local...

    Is style something you are born with? I think I am missing the gene!

    Yeay!! Those books look great! Much like the ones I started out with! Also, if you happen to stumble upon REAL women's magazines from the 1950s -- SNATCH THEM UP! (if they are in your price range, of course!) I even recommend "wordy" ones. Read them and you'll start THINKING vintage!

    Listen to Lolita! Here's some sites for "regular" people from the olden days: http://squareamerica.com/ http://duryeapa.com/ When I started vintage there were no resources like this on the Internet. There were barely any old movie star photos (where I got most of my early...

    Recommendations for a 50s look makeover

    Those hairdos are easy to achieve. You'll need a layered haircut. Then while your hair is wet, part it to the side and do pincurls on yourself. Sleep in them. In the morning take them out and brush your hair. Don't panic if it's frizzy -- it will be. You'll have to brush quite a bit...

    Everybody's Doing It (1938) with Preston Foster and Sally Eilers. Cute, but very weak script.

    Recommendations for a 50s look makeover

    Bangs are a bit of a commitment, though I think everyone who has them looks great. Maybe I have a "thing" for them, but I think people look better with them. I have them right now, but I grow them out every now and again. They really aren't that hard to work with if you want to go bang-less...

    Recommendations for a 50s look makeover

    I would go for "Bettie" bangs and a ponytail for hair. It's not overly-complicated to achieve nor is it too "flashy" for someone easing into the look. If you think Bettie bangs are too bold to start try longer bangs instead (to get used to it). I tend to go over the top with makeup and...
