    I should definitely do that. I want to use the camera too, as far as we can tell, it's still working! Battery sizes have changed since then though, so you have to push in the battery compartment the whole time to get it to work!

    Vintage Sizing

    Oh gosh, I have the weirdest problem with bust sizes. I'm lucky because my measurements are exactly 33/34-26-36, which is a vintage size 14, I think. So I'm lucky on one hand, because a lot of dresses come in those sizes. However, they aren't all made for petite gals with short waists like me...

    Your Past, Present, Current and Future Concerts

    Os Catalepticos sings in broken english! They are more metal psychobilly though, they don't have really any discernible rockabilly or surf influence, just a really amazingly fast bass player! I love Nekromantix too! I've seen them probably three or four times. I heard their new album that's...

    Your Past, Present, Current and Future Concerts

    The last concert I attended was the final show for this Brazilian psychobilly band Os Catalepticos. They are one of my favorite bands, but the way psycho shows are set up in LA make it impossible to enjoy the headliner. They have about a million awful local bands play, a few good ones, and then...

    Such strapping gentlemen on this page! :)

    Summer Camp- Help!!

    Clay or Fimo is always fun! I think it's something boys would really like as well. You could just let them go crazy and make whatever they want. For a cheaper method you could make salt dough and dye it different colors with food coloring.

    Unfortunately I don't have anything really special seeing as no one in my family kept things around. Terrible! Well, actually, I do have family photographs and a vintage mannequin head from the early 40's that my dad gave me, so those will have to do! Oh, and there's a Super 8 camera that was my...

    To wax or not to wax ????

    Aww, for some reason I find that really endearing!

    Show Us Your Purchases!

    I changed my mind and bought a mid-50's - early 60's bikini yesterday! I'll have to post some pictures soon. It was from a great vintage store in the Bay Area and was very reasonably priced, only $39! It's too cute and perfect for hanging at the beach in.

    To wax or not to wax ????

    I used to wax my eyebrows at home (I still sometimes do, but I usually keep up with plucking a lot more now) and I also wax my bikini area. For some strange reason it just doesn't hurt! Then again, if you wax enough you become totally immune to the feeling. The first time always hurts the worst...

    Show Us Your Purchases!

    Kim, if I could ever find any of them I totally would! Though I really do prefer actual vintage to repro or anything like that, because I wear all my vintage it's nice to have a few pieces that can handle a little more wear and tear! To me, wearing an 80's does 40's dress is the same exact...

    Gaining/maintaining weight? Slowing down metabolism?

    Yeah, I realize that now! It's hard though when you lose a lot of weight (to the point where it's unhealthy -- I was on a medication that made me lose my appetite) and then gain it all back. It's strange having to adjust! The point of the matter is, we should all try harder to love and accept...

    High Waisted Pants & Jeans!

    I've got a terribly short waist, so all high-waisted jeans and skirts practically come up to my bust for me! Oh well, it's a more dramatic look than I want, but I'll have to deal.

    Strange questions about your town

    Some kid from the east coast once asked me if I surfed to school. First of all, this was when I lived in Northern California where the water is shark-infested (well kind of at least) and FREEZING! Of course I said, "Yeah, you didn't know that? Everyone surfs to school in California!"

    Besame cosmetics

    Well, I finally gave in and bought a lipstick in Red Velvet and the matching lipliner. I've never had to use lipliner before, but for some reason Besame bleeds a bit with me, but they are too cute to not buy!

    Vintage Sizing

    I don't know what size you are, but I know that I, a modern day 4-6, am a size 14-16 in vintage clothing, so perhaps that's why people are advertising not-so-plus-size vintage clothing as such? I think a lot of people who aren't familiar with vintage can get pretty confused by the sizing...

    I guess there's some good in being 'eccentric'

    Hahha, you're quite welcome! Glad I could clear up the mystery! :)

    Don't try this

    Anything with dark rum makes me ill! So does any flavored vodka. But being that I'm still underage, beggars can't be choosers and I must suck it up! ;)

    I guess there's some good in being 'eccentric'

    Well, I used to be "pigeon toed" in the sense that my toes pointed inward when I walked for a long, long time (curse of the flat feet!). Now I just like pigeons! :)

    I guess there's some good in being 'eccentric'

    My mom thinks I'm totally insane, but she still lets everyone know to hang onto any vintage they're going to get rid of and let me poke through it first. The funny thing is, in the 1980's she would dress in 40's and 50's vintage, yet she still thinks I'm crazy!
