    The Closet Door is Open - Lavender Ladies & Gents of the Golden Age of Hollywood

    Ah, Liam Lacey. I spill my tea on his column every Saturday on purpose. I prefer to think of those men as "homophobic" ;)

    Do Ladies notice a Man's shoes?

    That's British slang for running shoes :)

    Does vintage clothing attract a rude/violent response?

    This is true! I once had a customer attack me while working as a cashier, and I was too stunned to think. However, my reflexes have improved since then with all the purse snatchers I've come across lol

    Do Ladies notice a Man's shoes?

    Subways and 5 inch stiletto heels do not mix! I change into smart ballet flats though. I hate seeing a woman in a sharp suit wearing white Nike's on her feet. I agree about men's shoes, but honestly, when I look around the train platform waiting for the 8.40, it's as if its casual Friday...

    Vintage Bathing Suits

    I'm no expert, but its more likely from the UK if it is labelled a War Emergency Suit. I couldn't find any information on them, but the USA did not suffer the same effects of war (air raids, rationing) as the UK, so it's unlikely to be an American product. Over to repro: It is obscene how...

    Does vintage clothing attract a rude/violent response?

    OT: I hope you rearranged his face! That's exactly the kind of horrible reaction we're talking about...

    Does wearing vintage Get you noticed by the opposite sex?

    Our vintage wardrobes may indicate a heightened sense of confidence and happiness with ourselves, since we aren't afraid to stand out :) I like how they go hand in hand.

    The Middy Thread

    That gives me a fuzzy feeling inside :D Thank-you sweetheart! I just complimented your hair in another thread, so I'm happy to know you use it!

    The White Stripe: a hair dilemma

    That 'do is fantastic! I like how long your streak is, and your waves are great. :) The best OTC bleach I've tried (and believe me, I've tried 'em all) was Clairol L'Image's Maxi Blonde, but of course they discontinue it. If I don't find a new bleach that works as well as this one, I'll keep...

    Does wearing vintage Get you noticed by the opposite sex?

    Not at all, you didn't sound harsh :) I understand what you mean, and you couldn't be more correct! I would've paid to see the look on his face lol

    Talks of "Christine" remake

    That's a great picture, thanks for sharing! Somewhat related: The car Harry Dean Stanton drove in the movie was a 6th gen Fury (1975-78, not sure what year) which were popular police cars at the time. It was a Machiavellian machine that controlled private lives and exploited professional...

    Talks of "Christine" remake

    It might be a style thing, as well as the calibre of actors. Jean Harlow was 22 when she made Bombshell: Her comic timing and breath control are amazing. These actors in 90210 are the same age ('nuff said.) Also, you could never mistake Harlow for Joan Crawford, or Gene Tierney for Ginger...

    SewRetro blog access

    Hear, hear... I went to the Sew Retro main website, and found my way to this page. There is a copy of the blog there, so perhaps she moved it to this domain. If not, emailing that address should solve the problem. :)

    Does vintage clothing attract a rude/violent response?

    I choose to believe this is the reason behind the dirty look. Personally, I don't fall prey to envy unless the other person has what I am lacking (doesn't happen often, thank goodness.)

    Does wearing vintage Get you noticed by the opposite sex?

    Or if you're me (and thousands of other females), you're sticking around and hoping your boyfriend will fall in love with you and want the next step, because you already are with him. I agree, but I find with some people, this will never be enough. I know you should keep your happiness in...

    Do Ladies notice a Man's shoes?

    That's too bad! I keep my shoes pristine, and am good friends with the local cobbler at that.

    The general decline in standards today

    People seem to lack the ability to place themselves in the opposite end of a situation. Phones cost money, and all of your contact numbers are saved in it. You may even have photos or videos in it with sentimental value. No one wants to pay to replace their phone, change their number, or lose...

    What's on Top - Bras, panties, garter belts, slips, & stockings

    Makes sense. I've got a small back so everything on me is compactly spread. It ain't fair.
