1920's Radio Network
Since I found it quite some time ago, I listen to the 1920s radio network almost all the time, it's wonderful. Great choice of songs, no annoying blah blah hosts - just simple good ole music (lot's of big band, swing, jazz, but also a bit of later pop music) I stumbled upon quite a few... -

thanks! All those tin cans are actually of no real use to me. The cigarette boxes I use for candy drops, only to justify the purchase :o (I don't really eat candy) I'm in love with the little bowl and pretzel stick holder. Can't wait for my first party to really use them. Being a little...- wahine

The Middy Thread
I tried 3 different hair dressers now, always equipped with photos, sketches aso., asking them for a middy. Can you believe I got the best result when I did it myself with the instructions of C-Dot?! Why is it so hard to find a hair dresser who's capable of just doing that. The last one even... -

Having moved to a new place, I get the chance to work on my long dreamed-of mid-century interior. *yay* What I got so far: For my kitchen a table (actually a living room table but I think it works for the kitchen almost as well) two chairs which are supposedly from the 70s, but they'll do...- wahine

Ladies show us your best.
You look so wonderful, it's so classy and still sort of unobtrusive. I wish I'd be ever able to get such a look, it seems just natural on you. Thanks for posting.- wahine

Are you modest on the beach or will you wear a bikini?
I totally second Miss G, I also love the fifties style and if I had a swimsuit like that, I'd definitely wear it. I also don't like those "dental floss" bikinis, no matter what shape or age you are, it's just not...um... classy? Not sure what's the right word. I'm in my mid thirties, not too...- wahine

Sometimes, I was sort of envious of the US thrift stores which we don't have in Germany (or at least verrry seldom). I always thought you often get chances to buy nice vintage stuff at reasonable prices, and I don't. :rolleyes: But now, I'm quite satisfied with some finds from the local...- wahine

Show us what you have Crafted!
Those snoods are really cute, did you use a pattern? The other day, I went to my grandma's birthday, all dressed up. My cousin called me "a dream from the fifties" - yay :D. But one thing was bothering me. While my outfit and all accessories were vintage (or at least vintage inspired), I was...- wahine

The Golden Era's *ugliest* clothes
Here's another photo that's not quite as awful IMOH. (sorry for the size, too much attention for that dress!) And here the dress without her. Though I must say I love Marilyn and think it's hard to find pics that are unbecoming (even the famous potato sack dress does look kinda cute...- wahine

Thank you, I love it too. It was sewn on by hand as it seems. Only bad thing about it: it's not as white as the pic shows but kinda grayish. I'm not sure if I should try to bleach it or just leave it as it is.- wahine

Today, this slip dress arrived in my mailbox. Although it's a little too big and the color is much more peachy than in the pic, I adore it. It goes almost perfectly under my new black dress. :) plus, it was a bargain (from ebay). and, finally: :D- wahine

Beauty Complaints
My man likes me best all natural. He does like it when I'm going vintage but he doesn't seem to understand that chique clothes and set hair just don't go with a naked face. So, when I think I look fabulous, he'll raise his brows and say "you wear too much make-up" (although it's still little... -
Pale or Tan?
I like fair skin and avoid the sun as much as possible. Since I was a teenager, I don't get a tan easily and the older I get, the more I think my skin's a sissy when it comes to sun (allergic to sun!). Well, anyway: the other day my auntie brought me a nice sixties skirt in black, violet and... -

Show us your vintage knitting and crochet!
That bolero looks splendid, I guess I need one, too. First, I gotta improve my crocheting skills, though ;) Just need to start: Yesterday, my grandma gave me her old crochet hooks. I was surprised how many she has, there are several of each size and some of them seem to be quite old...- wahine

Thanks Drappa, I hope to wear it often! Katinka, I know what you mean. It definitely has too much fabric around the shoulder / collar bone, that's what my auntie will alter for me. The other parts were fine for me, though. Guess, I was just lucky this time. (After dozens of shopping tours...- wahine

Berlin, great shoes! And they look quite comfortable, too (esp. the 2nd pair). Yesterday, my auntie got me an easter present. I was looking for ages for a basic black dress that I could wear for many occasions, depending on the accessories I combine. It was practically impossible to get any...- wahine
