    Show us what you've made!

    Everything looks good! :eusa_clap Had to go back a few pages because I haven't looked at this thread in a while. :( Too much inspiration and not enough time. GG - I wish I could wear satin-y materials and not look like a sack of potatoes in them! LD - Love the undies. I'm going to make...

    My Mother Says...

    My mom doesn't care what I wear -- never did! I did the whole punk thing when I was a pre-teen and teen. I even used to cut and shave my own head. And dye it with food dye lol She would just say, "Hey, want that new Siouxsie album?" She just let me go through my phases naturally and never...

    Who are your Role Models?

    She's one of mine, too! When I think I have it "so tough" I just think of what she had to do and it gives me more strength to do my "tough" duties! Both my grandmothers. One I never met and she was the aforementioned Depression/wartime housewife and factory worker. I only have letters from...

    The Job Interview- how vintage can you go?

    Unfortunately, interviewers *do* judge you by how you're dressed. I can do my job blindfolded and I've won awards and dinners because I've excelled at it so much. And I dress in my vintage creations every single day! I seriously doubt they would have hired me if I wore one to the...

    The Middy Thread

    "The top and sides were kept shorter than the back hair for easy styling of rolls and bangs, the back hair was grown as long as desired and cut in a "U" shape." I can't help it -- I keep picturing a mullet!! lol. But seriously, can you give us an example of your hair not styled so we can...

    Vintage Youth Fashion

    Very little girls wore the short dresses with no defined waist and poofy sleeves. When they got a little older they wore a defined waist with short skirts just above the knee. "Tweens" began dressing like little adults: I actually bought this pattern because I liked the orange dress so...

    Vintage Desecration - Things Altered/Repurposed, and a Vintage Treasure Lost Forever.

    I *LOATHE* the destruction of anything vintage, unless it is hopelessly lost and useless in it's orginal form. I *ABHOR* stuff like this...

    Was there such thing as comfy clothes???

    I think all the clothes from the 'day were pretty comfy! At least all the ones I've made myself from vintage patterns are! What went underneath, though, is another story and I admit I don't wear ANY foundation garments. For lounging around the house, yes, the good 'ole cotton house dress...

    Show Us Your Hair Set and Results

    Thanks chicas! I don't do my pincurls in any certain direction -- just wherever they fit! Sometimes they aren't the neatest, but they always give me the same result. This takes me about 20 minutes to do. I used to put two pins in each and every one, but one day I thought one should be...

    Advice on choosing a vintage style or decade.

    Well *I* think you look great Paul! I actually think the 20s looks best on you.

    The Golden Era's *ugliest* clothes

    When I first saw those monkey shoes that photo of Gloria was the first thing that popped into my mind. lol Monkey fur is beyond ugly -- it is repulsively revolting.

    You Had It, But Sold It (and now You're Sorry)

    I sold a bunch of original 1920s and 1930s movie lobby photos because I was unemployed. I regret every second of it.

    I put these in the pincurl thread, but I'll put them here, too: I pincurl my whole head and sleep on it. Coming out in the morning! How it usually turns out.

    Quirky things that people have done 'in the day' that people would gasp at today..

    I've seen people in 30s movies spritz perfume in their mouths. Red Headed Woman comes to mind. I always thought it was just for comedy!

    How to avoid looking like emo / rockabilly / scene ???

    Mine was Jean Harlow. Now I love the "ordinary" gals like INKY, Lolita Haze, Miss Amanda Lee, Fluer de Guerre, Lisa Freemont Street, Lauren, Michelle (sixsexsix), Psycho Sue (her style rocks!) and so many other gals on here and the WWW that I would be here all day if I tried to name them.

    How to avoid looking like emo / rockabilly / scene ???

    My 2009 2 cents: If you don't prefer the "rockabilly" look (or any specific look for that matter!) chances are you won't look like it or be mistaken for it if it isn't within you. I have all the markings of a "rockabilly" chick, but I always look more "30s." It's within me. My friend...

    Quirky things that people have done 'in the day' that people would gasp at today..

    Actually, a family recently had their children taken away from them because a Wal-Mart worker deemed their children's bathtime photo as "child pornography."...

    Quirky things that people have done 'in the day' that people would gasp at today..

    My dad let me have little sips of his beer when I was a kid! And he let me take little puffs of his cigar once. lol. This whole thread reminds of this photo from square america: Could you imagine THIS photo being printed in Wal-mart today?? No doubt, CPS would be knocking on the...
