    Can you help me date this item??

    I'd go more with the 60s. Reminds me of a hat I once saw Jane Russell wearing in the 1960s.

    web rip offs?

    Lucky me -- no one in this town cares about vintage but me! And the Salvation Army, which is slightly "skankier" than the Goodwill, has the cream of the crop for really OLD clothes! I have my pick and it's all so cheap. There's also a LOT of "God's Thrift" type shops around here. Again, if...

    web rip offs?

    I don't like ebay and avoid it as much as I can, both buying and selling. I used to get vintage dresses from ebay, but now whenever I see something I like it's usually so bidded-up that it's too expensive for me to afford. I also don't like to buy clothes without trying them on first...

    Remakes and Sequels: Then And Now

    Waterloo Bridge (1931 & 1940) is the first classic remake that comes to my mind. I prefer the 1931 version. I don't know if these could be considered sequals or not, but The Broadway Melody series went on for over a decade; 1929, 1936, 1938, and 1940. Also all of those Gold Diggers films...

    Modern Movies Made To Look Old

    Awww. I love Man Of The Century and I think it's one of the very best modern films (1970-today) out there!

    What are you listening to?

    "Lillington High" by The Lillingtons :o Currently "cleaning" out any CD I haven't touched since the 90s.

    Modern Movies Made To Look Old

    The first few minutes of Man Of The Century (1999) are done in silent movie style. The rest of the film is in black & white. Bettie Page: Dark Angel (2004) also has a very 50s look to it. The colours were amazing. And the little B&W Bettie loops were made to look authentic, too.

    Your Wardrobe Range.

    My oldest piece is a gown that belonged to my grandmother's grandmother. It's a gorgeous black mourning gown, probably 1880s or 1890s. It's a bit wrinkled from storage, but other than that it is in perfect condition. I have a dress from the 20s in not-so-hot condition. I'd guess 26-28. I...

    Besame cosmetics

    Today I'm wearing the Pistachio Green eyeshadow and I love it! I'd call this colour "Army Green," though. It's not too dark, either; it's just dark enough to be a bit mysterious and exotic! I'm so used to cheap drugstore makeup that goes on all dark and cakey -- I should've known that this...

    Besame cosmetics

    I just got my samples today and I'm going to say the same thing about the pistachio green eyeshadow -- it's a LOT darker than what's shown on the website. I've been looking for a neon-y green and thought the pistachio as illustrated on the website would be perfect. I'm going to give what I got...

    Let's Be Gorgeous!

    I hope this doesn't sound too strange, but I've never felt so lovely as I have since I've been reading and participating on this forum. I am actually taking quite a bit of beauty advice from here and it's working out all for the better. And getting in touch with other vintagephiles makes me...

    thinking of a person who never saw you...

    I do this a lot. I remember once I walked past a girl at the mall in the early 80s. I must have been about 7 or 8. She had red feathered hair and one of those early 80s metal t-shirts on. There was NOTHING spectacular about her. I don't know why she's always stood out in my mind, but...

    Your Past, Present, Current and Future Concerts

    LAST = Legendary Shack Shakers/Rev Horton Heat. Wasn't impressed. I don't like The Rev at all. The shack Shakers were pretty cool. We met them and they were nice guys. Some of their music is good, but for the most part it's too crazy for me! FIRST - New Kids On The Block in 1989. I'm...

    Maybe you were around back then?

    Like many of you have said, it's FUN to maybe think it's for real, but I can't say I belive in it 100%. Here are some examples of why I think it might be a possibility for me: -When I was very very young (maybe 4/5/6) I used to play with my mother's makeup, wigs, and discarded silky nighties...

    If You Could Meet The Original Owner

    I often wonder who originally owned my vintage clothes, especially my dress from the 1920s. I'm always making up stories about who owned it and what she did in it. Unfortunately, the armpits smell very bad so I make up stories about her doing the Charleston in it all night! :) And like...

    Powder Room Pets?

    Lola (my Dal!) is sooooo good! When she was a puppy she was a terror -- if it wasn't for her being so darn pretty I think I'd have given her away! She used to chew my furniture and she once chewed up a whole section of carpet!! But as she's gotten older (she just turned 8 in February) she's...

    Bloody depressed

    I'm with Lady Day -- bring vintage to you via online shopping! That's what I do for the most part.
