    What Are You Reading

    Harry Potter! I'm only 100 pages in though. I haven't gotten a good chance yet to really sit down and get into it. I actually may go read right now...

    How Was Your Day?

    My day was busy busy busy! I went in early to my internship with Revamp and started stripping the dress forms for our booth at Costume College. I wasn't supposed to end up going today, but we ended up running late, so I had to drive to Van Nuys with the other gals and help set up. It's, no joke...

    Been dropping the pounds.

    Congrats to everyone who's been getting healthy! I've started really watching what I've been eating (I wouldn't call it a diet, per se), and walking more, occasionally exercising and have lost 4 lbs. I want to get down to 110, what I was in high school. I was getting a little pot belly, and...

    Frustration with necklines

    I don't have a large bust, but I'm not completely flat either, so I can get away with lower necklines usually. However, my favorite form of the low neckline is when it's paired with a high, but non-turtleneck, (like those Chinese dresses, I forget the name!) or up-turned collar on a button-down...

    Laughs, when you can't stop

    Story of my life! Especially when I'm with my boyfriend. He's one of those people that finds everything funny, and when he starts to laugh (he has a ridiculous girly giggle), I start to laugh, and then it just gets worse from there. Sometimes we try to have contests of who can not laugh for...

    How 'vintage' is your name?

    Meredith - Means: Protector from the Sea It didn't even really rank until the 40's, but it was most popular in the 80's. How fitting that I was born in 87 then! Even then it wasn't too popular! I totally hate my name.

    Frustration with necklines

    Ugh. I haven't had a problem with low necklines in my clothing, but with sheerness. Nearly everything I own is sheer, even print tops, so I wear a tank under everything. Or, even worse, it's cut just a wee bit short, to the point where if I don't stay completely still, my hips and tummy are...

    Dick Proenneke, Survivalist of Twin Lakes. Could you do it?

    I could never do that. I know my great-great grandfather went into the wilderness in Alaska with other men and lived in a snow cave for awhile. I forget what they were doing there, but we have a photo of the snow cave and the men standing in front of it, and it's crazy. Just this large expanse...

    Sewing Lessons & FAQ

    Okay ladies, I have a question for you! I'm VERY short-waisted (I swear, I look like I grew from my legs and not from my middle). Along my side, from the lowest rib I can feel to the top of my hip bone, I've only got about 2 inches! I've had to get a lot of vintage dresses altered for me...

    Question for why you're here?

    First, I think it was the history. I've always loved American history, especially from the 1800's to the 1960's. I've had this fascination and nostalgia for the past since high school. Next, it would have to be the fashion. The first time I seriously wore a vintage outfit, down to the hair...

    help needed with big model shoot

    I belong to the Dita messageboards, and I know she said she uses only hot rollers and hot sticks, no sort of wet set/pin-curling methods. It certainly depends on your hair type and the products you use, but I've only managed to get Clara Bow poofy hair out of pin curls, never soft waves. For...

    Old fashioned guys

    I think my boyfriend is the perfect gentleman. As well as being chivalrous, he shows kindness and respect to everyone. It's really amazing actually. We have a group of couples that we hang out with constantly, the guys are friends of his from high school, and though he's very much a man's...

    Show Us Your Purchases!

    Just bought this really cute pattern: I figure I could make an adorable blouse out of the bodice too. When I go home this summer I'm going to learn how to sew for real (finally!).

    Changing one's look.

    Okay, here's a before (my senior year of high school when I was just getting into the more rockabilly look -- peep the muffin top!) This was the day that I decided vintage was THE way to go. And thank god, look how bad I look! I'm embarrassed to even show you all this picture...

    Apartment necessities

    Do you plan on living there for a few years, or do you think you'll be moving around much? When you're young, you tend to move around a lot, so as much as you'll want to be filling your apartment with nice furniture, dishes, etc. it will become a tremendous hassle once you need to move. So...

    Life without moderators

    There have been things that people have said that have really bothered me because they have been really sexist, but because those opinions are "traditional" and "conservative" (therefore family-friendly, perhaps?) no moderator bats an eye. However, I feel like when stating my opposing opinion I...

    Raffle people

    That's great that you do all of that! My parents actually met in Ecuador. My dad lived there for about 4 years after college, he was a bit of a hippie and loves the culture and speaking Spanish. My mom was working in the fashion industry and met him there on business. They have always...

    Keeping Cool: Fans and Parasols

    GoldwynGirl, you are too cute! That tiki/Hawaiian 50's look is one of my favorites, it's so hard to come by dresses like that. You totally pulled it off! I have one vintage fan that belonged to my great grandmother when she was in high school. My grandma gave it to me when I graduated. I have...
