    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    Mysterious Provenance I bought these shoes at a DSW in NY and for the life of me can't find any info about the maker! The label and box both said Crown Vintage. Ebay comes up dry. When I try to Google it, I get a link with other confused people talking about how they can't find the...

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    I have those Aris Allen's. Verrrry comfortable if you're going to be dancing... there's so much cushioning in that shoe's it's unbelievable :) The only word of warning is that you'll probably want to change the laces on those shoes. If I recall, the ones I got with them were really thick...

    "Defiance" in December

    I saw this trailer before There Will Be Blood and I was excited because Liev Schreiber is in it... I think he's an underrated character actor. Really looking forward to it.

    Altering Vintage Finds?

    Sure, there are exceptions with historical vintage... I think I'd be hesitant to do any alterations on something pre-1920's just because I personally see that as something that wouldn't be worn practically on a daily basis... BUT... It's always been my belief that vintage clothing could...

    Shearer's plastic purse & other goodies fromNYC trip

    I hear you on the camera issue. I got to the point where I hated my point-and-shoot so bad that I finally broke down and bought a big ol' digital SLR. Of course it doesn't fit in any of my nice looking bags... :rolleyes: Oh well, it's worth it. But the smaller the bag, the better... just...

    Shearer's plastic purse & other goodies fromNYC trip

    Thanks! I, too, am in love with the colour :D I get so tired of seeing the huge, jangly, Olsen Twin modern purses... why can't they make plastic purses like this again?! But I love when I meet people with deeply rooted (sometimes scary) passions! lol I've cornered/hoarded several of...

    Shearer's plastic purse & other goodies fromNYC trip

    BUMP For all the Lucite fans out there... Unbeknownst to me, my boyfriend had been plotting behind my back to get me my second choice in Lucite purses from this photo. I was gifted at Christmas with the red Lucite pocketbook directly in front of me, and I love it. Here it is in photo form...

    Steampunk, Dieselpunk, etc.

    That's really beautiful Story! I'd be tempted to change the band, myself. But I'm really digging the tiny studs on the crown. I don't think I have the heart to guess at a pricetag ;)

    It's magic....

    I have a special Irene as well! How funny... I wear a WWII sweetheart's ID bracelet that's engraved with "WIN... Love, Irene '43." The bracelet always seemed very special because of all the romantic sentimentalities Irene could have written to her sweetheart as he went off to war...

    I'm diggin' British Battledress

    atthefront makes a pretty good tanker for the price. http://www.atthefront.com/us_uni_jackettanker.htm The tanker is a LOT sturdier than the M41.

    Amy Winehouse

    I'm glad dr greg brought this up. If anyone's interested, the fabulous band that backed up Amy Winehouse on Back to Black is Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings :)

    Amy Winehouse

    This may be true in some cases, but I think it's become impossible in regards to Amy Winehouse. I'm a fan... I love her voice, I think she's a great talent. But the truth is, she canceled her tour for a good reason. At times, she's barely mumbled her way through a few songs before leaving the...

    New Star Trek

    Domo Arigato, Mr. Mugatu Boing Boing posted an article today concerning Star Trek's cheesy creatures. Not cheesy, I say! Rather, they're awesome! Enjoy! (Link to original Wired article.)

    Transform Yourself!

    What great fun! Thanks for sharing... Of course, I had to do all the weird ones. Here's the original, an old avatar: Drunk: (yes, I do smile that big under the influence of gin) Ape Woman!: Alphonse Mucha: Baby: I'm disappointed my Manga character didn't turn out too well. Why...

    Vintage Ads - Safeguard Your Daintiness!

    Read the ad again with the context that Lizzie brought up! It just puts they copy writing on a whole other level: "Kills germ-life on contact..."

    Hello darling Cherie...lets see your best Evening Wear

    I'd like to think so! :D Green dresses get me in a tizzy! I've been on the lookout for a deep emerald dress for a loooong time - Miss 1940's, the color on that dress is stunning. I found this dress on eBay (did NOT buy it, but I wish I had an excuse to) and always thought that it...

    My vintage Maxfield Parish print, "Daybreak".

    That's really neat, Nick! Parrish is one of my favourites, along with Waterhouse. Congratulations on your treasure!
