    To save or not to save: 1930's dress in need of rehabilitation

    I deffinatly agree here. They are part of history--and not just any history, movie history. Its sort of sad that the studios didn't take better care of these gems. They might not have been worn by Jean Harlow--, but they are still movie history.

    I both collect and wear vintage pieces, but most of my collection is wearable, bought or tailored down to my size. My collection spans form 1900-1970, but the bulk of the dresses I have are from the 1920's-1940s, with most of them being from the 1930's since I think that is what looks best on me...

    To save or not to save: 1930's dress in need of rehabilitation

    I came accross two very cool 1930's dresses at a local shop here in Burbank. These dresses orginally belonged to Paramount Studios, and have now been bought up by this store and put on thier racks.

    Something For the Loungerette with Everything

    This looks like one of those items they used to sell at tourist traps in the 1950's. Probably hit by a car, then turned into a purse. I'll have to pass on this one. I like animals too much.

    "When baby moves in... dog moves OUT"

    I adopted my little doggie ( 5 pound maltese) from a lady who had two children and was dumping her pup after 9 years! I can't understand people like this! When you get an animal, it is a serious commitment.
