LADIES of the LOUNGE
Just me... I used to be a redhead (my natural colour, see avatar!), but recently went black. I also bought myself some new clothes, but I will never part with that pink sweater!- Amy Jeanne

Do I have to curl my hair to be vintage accurate?
I read somewhere that straight hair was seen as "old maid"-like whereas curly hair was seen as softer and more "fertile."- Amy Jeanne

It's magic....
My apartment is the exact same. It was built in 1926 and there have been very few renovations over the years (I posted photos in the Display Case a few weeks ago!) My imagination goes completely WILD in here. Just the other day I was standing in my bathroom putting on makeup and I thought...- Amy Jeanne

It's magic....
I totally understand where you're coming from! I collect old movie magazines and I always love it when someone has written their name on it. Or if an address label is still affixed. I really like it when they write comments within the magazine! In one magazine from 1932, someone wrote "I...- Amy Jeanne

HOw are the New Year's resolutions going?
I resolved to watch more of the movies I've been recording and stockpiling and so far it's going great! I'm about to watch Finishing School (1934) with Ginger Rogers in a cute art deco school "uniform." lol- Amy Jeanne

Show us your vintage home!
A new "Waterfall Buffet" that I picked up at a thrift shop in Jersey today. I fell immediately in love with it! And the price tag was outrageous (in my favour, of course!) The same piece would probably go for AT LEAST $300 in Philadelphia. Behind that little mirror in the center is a...- Amy Jeanne

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
I just finished watched Loretta Young in the 1931 flick Big Business Girl. It wasn't anything spectacular, but I really enjoyed it. I swooned every single set, object, door, outfit, whatever in the entire movie.- Amy Jeanne

Thinking about a tattoo, but is it what good girls did in the 1940's?
I have very visable tattoos and I go for the 20s/30s/schoolmarm look, but I like the clashing of the two "looks." If you're more of a 1940s glamour purist and you're questioning whether to even get a tattoo, don't get one. Just my 2 cents.- Amy Jeanne

Bad Vintage Movies
You don't know how much I agree with this. I consider myself a "fun" film fan and my Live Journal reflects it. I've been shunned and spoken down to by these types of film fans via email so I know exactly who you mean. I remember making comments on old message boards about how I actually...- Amy Jeanne

What would you love to wear but have not?
A real pair of 1920s rayon stockings!! I have LOTS of vintage hats from the 20s to the 60s, but never wore them out because 1.) they don't go with anything and 2.) they don't really fit properly because I don't have enough hair to keep them on my head. And a corset. A REAL one from the...- Amy Jeanne

Thirtysomething woes
I'm glad I'm in my 30s. I'm more awesome now than I was at 19. When I was younger I was always so self-conscience (sp?) of stupid things (incidentally, I've recently been reading old diaries from when I was 19/20/21 -- lol.) Now I just don't care. I feel I "get" it now. For once in my...- Amy Jeanne

Lee Tracy
Another Lee Tracy fan here! I've enjoyed him in everythin gI've ever seen him in and he was quite versatile. To me, he, along with Allen Jenkins, is the epitome of the 1930s "wiseguy."- Amy Jeanne

Vintage Discovery Monthly! Historic places to Patronize and visit!
The Broadway Theatre in Pitman NJ. It's almost exactly the same as it was when it opened in 1926. And it's still in operation. It's also one of the few movie theatres in the WORLD that still has it's original 1927 organ - http://www.robbender.com/gallery/albums/broadway/P5234534.sized.jpg...- Amy Jeanne

Bad Vintage Movies
My thoughts exactly! I tend to adore the "bad" B pictures over polished Hollywood products because I just feel that the "B" movies are cozier and have a more "homely" feel to them. I absolutely LOVE classic exploitation flicks and I have a big collection spanning the 30s to the 60s. Alpha...- Amy Jeanne
