Hahha, I have no shame, I AM trying to look like Dita Von Teese! And when people say I do I am just tickled pink! I figure since I never tried to look like someone like Britney Spears in high school there's no harm in trying to look like my idol when I'm in college! ;)
And Decobelle, I would...
I only tip in restaurants, but that's only because I don't have enough money to be getting new fridges put in or getting valet parking! I used to put my change in tip jars at coffee shops and the like, but now I always need change to do my laundry. Tipping can be a pain in the neck, I really...
Personally, with vintage, if I can't wear it, I don't want it (of course there are exceptions -- I've been holding onto a pink satin 1940's high-waisted girdle in hopes that my waist will magically grow longer and it will fit!). That's why I don't want to buy a vintage bathing suit.
I...
I have a comb, brush and mirror, all heavy silver that my mom bought me. They are beautiful! Unfortunately I don't have much of a bathroom (I have a sink and mirror in my bedroom), so I don't have anywhere to display it. I also have a Depression Glass powder jar that is too cute.
I can't...
Hahah, the crazy thing is they were Buy It Now for only $25! I had been watching them for a few days too until I decided to splurge today. I can't believe no one snatched them up before I did!
I feel the exact same way! Vintage actually flatters my figure, as opposed to modern clothes, where I tend to look a lot more shapeless. Therefore, I usually feel a lot sexier and prettier, and I know I stand out! I may be dressing like my grandma used to, but I definitely don't look dowdy! ;)
Just wanted to add that all the stockings are going be ending in less than 24 hours, so get your bids in now! A ton of them are still are at a very low price!
I can't do a thing like that! I'm totally useless, except I can bake without the use of an electric mixer (I actually hate those things and would rather use some elbow grease and go without -- everything turns out just as good!), and I can work all types of film cameras and print color and black...
Landgirl, where are you finding these short dresses? I'm 5'2" and normally I feel like I'm 3'2" because everything is so long on me! ;)
For some odd reason, there's no one around to take full length pictures of me, so here's my late 1930's dress in parts. You'll have to use your imagination...
Lately I've found some cute vintage-esque tap pants and nighties that could be used as slips in Target. The tap panties I bought are not quite like vintage ones, though if I didn't mind them being super short, I could wear them at waist level. They are meant to sit around your hips I think...
I just bought a new girdle (a Rago open-bottom, not sure of the style number) and I adore it. It comes down much lower than my old girdle though, so I've got to get used to the feeling on my thighs a bit, but its somewhat a nice feeling in a bizarre way!
I still haven't worked myself up to...
1. Drink on the beach in Mexico at night with the love of my life.
2. Have my artwork displayed in a gallery.
3. Take a road trip through California to Idaho with my boyfriend.
4. Have a home that's perfectly decorated with a big backyard and a pool to throw tiki parties on summer...
Wow, I absolutely love the blue dress Miss Sis!
I've always strayed from decades earlier than the 40's because, though I love the fashions, I've always thought they would never look right on me. Recently I bought a late 1930's dress, and I love it, even though I am far from "long and lean"...
For my interview tomorrow afternoon with Revamp I'll definitely be wearing vintage, but considering it's a vintage reproduction company it makes sense! I'm scared for when I'll eventually have to interview to get a "real" job, or an office job. I've never had a formal interview before and...
My grandma gave me the tip (after a good half-hour spent with her struggling to get zipped up into my vintage prom dress with as few tears as possible) to rub the lead of a pencil along both sides of the metal zipper to make it smoother to zip. Of course, she remembers this after we nearly kill...
I only have three hats, only one of which I actually like. I also have a vintage 1930's/40's hat mannequin (with the face and molded hair and everything, just gorgeous!) that my dad gave me, so I put my good hat on that, and keep the others in my closet.
