Do You Get Easily Obsessed?
My biggest obsession is 20s/30s movies. I can find an old movie reference in ANYTHING, even if it's not intended. I'll just make something up! Whenever I get into something new, I get obsessed with it and want to know all about it. It usually fizzles out, though. The 20s and 30s are the...- Amy Jeanne

I get this all the time: "You look like you're from the 70s!" "That dress is really cool! Is it 70s?" "Are those glasses from the 70s?" "I like that headband! It's very 70s!" Anyone else get mistaken for "1970s"?? And people are ALWAYS asking to take pictures of me and my...- Amy Jeanne

Modern Film - Vintage Fashion
Even though these movies aren't super-recent, they still have a VERY GOOD 1930s look and feel to them: Cabaret (1972) - I was happy to see no trace of the early 1970s when I watched this movie! Annie (1982) - Everything is perfectly 30s, even down to the white shoes on the extras! Victor...- Amy Jeanne

"The Wild Party"
I've seen it; I blindly bought the DVD in Borders one day. You're right -- it's good a flick, but I didn't care much for that O-T-T scene towards the end!- Amy Jeanne

If I had to pick one guy from the golden era. . .
I've had the hots for William Haines for years now. His life story was so awesome and I'm so glad he got away from the dragons of Hollywood and did what HE wanted to do!! All in the name of love! Not too shabby: Dick Powell Buster Keaton Harold Lloyd Edward Everett Horton...- Amy Jeanne

vintage music!
Just today I got my Frances Langford CD in the mail. I've yet to hear this wonderful songbird, but I'm sure I will not be unimpressed since I'm a HUGE fan of female singers from the 1890s to the early 1940s. In my purse right now I have: Dick Powell Jane Green Lee Wiley Busby Berkeley...- Amy Jeanne

(a former co-worker aged 26) "Your style is old. It shows you like the old days." (random people, usually cashiers...- Amy Jeanne

What Magazines Do You Read?
I read old Photoplay magazines. It's my favourite. As many as I buy off ebay, I guess you could say I have a "subscription"!! Hehe! I was once sent a free copy of a zine called Bloody Beautiful. It was all about 20s and 30s culture and it came with an album of 30s music! I have no idea...- Amy Jeanne
