Could be environmental. But my mother was (and still is) very modern. I could have easily gone that route, but I didn't.
When I was a kid I was scared of older things. They freaked me out in an "I'm-actually-fascinated-by-this" way.
I can remember so many experiences of me being...
My maternal grandmother has always been interested in history -- particularly family history. She was born in '29, still alive, still loving the "good old days."
My father was also always into older things. He was born in '41 so he was a teen in the 50s. He's always kinda been "stuck"...
Chiffon dresses = many have broken my heart! The weight of the dress on the hanger was enough to tear it. I decided to sell them on ebay to someone who knows how to handle such material properly.
But this dress is perfection.
AM radio is awful here, as well. Nothing but a sports station, one or two Mexican music stations, and Disney radio. The rest is a bunch of static.
I'll stick to free Internet radio and my CDs for now.
I watched The Kid From Spain (1932) last night.
I LOVED the opening musical number! So naughty! Eddie Cantor was wonderful -- and cute, too! And Robert Young as a "Latin Lover" = LOL!!
Overall, I wasn't disappointed. It was funny.
I hit the antique shops yesterday and found these:

I'm with everyone else. Where what YOU like and WHO CARES what other, lesser people think! :D
Bandanas are super-cute. They make the wearer always look more open and adorable. I don't get it why anyone would be adverse to that [huh]

Tons of cylinders online from 1890 to 1929. Lots of pre-1923 here!

As for myself, I quite like The Peerless Quartet, The Original Indiana Five, and Fred Van Eps.
My tattoos don't have meaning. I just got them because I liked the way they looked. I've always loved nice tattoos on women -- especially those of us with our own "looks." Same for placement -- I just got them where I think tattoos look best on other people.
I plan to get more. Lots of...
