    What should I pack for the Queen Mary Event?

    Bless you dear! One less thing to worry about.

    What should I pack for the Queen Mary Event?

    Oh, purses! The only one I have is from the 50's; inappropriate for 1939 but there you are. I'll just say I was ahead of my time. ;) I've got to run out and get some nylons tomorrow--hopefully seamed. All this last minute stuff!

    wartime photographer-gerda taro

    I went to this exhibit on Mr. Bern's recommendation and it is superb. If you're in the NYC area please make an effort to attend. I'm really looking forward to the day I have some time to spend in that museum generally too-it's a hidden gem.

    What Movie Haven't You Seen?

    Good question. I took a look at the AFI list of 100 "greatest" to jog my memory. http://connect.afi.com/site/DocServer/100Movies.pdf?docID=301 Raging Bull and Taxi Driver (odd because I love Martin Scorsese) The Searchers Bridge on the River Kwai Bonnie and Clyde Unforgiven I've walked...

    Christmas Films….

    "Remember the Night (1940) with Barbara and Fred MacMurray. He plays a D.A. prosecuting Barbara for shoplifting (if you see the bracelet she pinches, you can’t blame her) who ends up taking her home for an old-fashioned Christmas." One of my all time favorite films, that. The credits on...

    Handsome Fellas!

    I got a new one! (I posted this on another thread where it doesn't really belong...) Lee Pace is on the show "Pushing Daisies" (very Amelie-esque, watch it!), playing a pie-maker with a special, but distancing power. He was on the wonderful-but-canceled-early "Wonderfalls" a few years back. Lee...

    What should I pack for the Queen Mary Event?

    Oh, I'm so glad to hear you're coming after all Lauren! Hurrah! I'm picking up pretty much every vintage dress I own from the dry cleaners tonight; tomorrow night is packing and Thursday morning I'm flying to CA--I can't believe it!

    Show us what you've made!

    I wish I could post a picture of my dress for the Queen Mary but I want to keep it a secret until the event. I had a heartstopping moment when I thought I cut one of the pieces the wrong way (shiny side up not down) but thank God I did it correctly because I had barely enough fabric as it...

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    I lost my head a bit during my lunch break today and bought some gaudy, gaudy shoes for the Sat. night dinner on the Queen Mary. The heel is too thin to be really vintage (and I hope I don't break my neck in them!) but the front and back of the shoe is vaguely 30's looking. I'm wearing a...

    What are you wearing today??

    Ditto! You look lovely--your makeup is flawless Ms. McGraw!

    Show Us Your Purchases!

    Great stuff! That Fashions in the 40s is one of my all time favorite books--I picked it up at a used bookstore in college.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    It's so Disney but I love The Rocketeer too--great movie poster, I used to have a copy. Great cast and feel for the era. Terry O'Quinn as Hughes stands out particularly in my mind.

    OT: weightloss bragging inside

    Good job! Slow and steady is the way to go (however frustratiing it might be at times). You'll have your hands happily full taking in all your clothes.

    Dare I start a doll thread?

    I loved loved loved those Estelle Ansley Worrell books as a teenager--I wonder if she's still around? Her book on making dollhouse furniture is fun too. I made some of the stuff from her books and I remember the patterns going together very well but that it was designed for barbies (tiny...

    What should I pack for the Queen Mary Event?

    I'm in a blind panic about what to bring; I'm tempted to just pack every vintage thing I own and sort it out on the boat! I've got about 4 vintage dresses that need to go to the dry cleaners tomorrow. My evening dress is mostly done but I need to finish the hem. I'm really thinking of...

    Dare I start a doll thread?

    I was WAY into Gene at one time (though only on the second hand market--far too expensive new). I've got a couple of the Silkstone Barbies (does Robert Best still design them?) and I love the Brenda Starr series by Robert Tonner. I've got a couple of the Daphne Dimples dolls from that series--I...

    Dita Von Teese/Frederick's of Hollywood

    It sure does! It looks like one of those 1940's paperdolls where they stuck the celebrity's head onto a body. I was going to post about this catalog too; drove me to theivery it did (I feel somewhat better because the girl it was addressed to in my building had moved out, but still...)...

    MEN of the LOUNGE

    I love this picture--too funny. Is the gal a Lounger? She looks amazing, but I especially want those beautiful shoes she has on (looks like she had tiny feet; bet she's got an amazing shoe collection).

    Looking for Retro Linoleum, 1930s-40s can anyone help?

    I covet all her stuff--it's beyond fabulous. I've always meant to go there when I'm in NYC but I haven't made it there yet.

    Golden Era Yearbooks

    I have my grandmother's yearbooks from 1926-1930--a great peek into small town America. My grandmother and her best friend, Aggie Oleson, are standing/sitting next to each other in every club picture--it's very sweet. I'll try to scan a few pictures sometime. It's very true that you can pick...
