Zoot Suits?
Also, many modern WASP types think of non-zoot vintage as being "like Grandad", or as someone said, "gangster wear". Zoots seem, to many, to be the "cooler" option compared to Grandad, but less of a cliché than the pinstripe "Capone" suit. Films like "The Mask" and the retro revival of the...- Angelicious

How horrific do you think postage to half-a-world-away would be? :confused: I'm not sure I'd want to risk posting glass or ceramics across the Pacific, but matchbooks would be good if the postage wasn't crippling. Oh, and the exchange rate... I'm sick of living on the edge of Vintage...- Angelicious

Attention: all vintage sewers!
As far as I can figure, you've got an early 1921 model made in Elizabethport, New Jersey. What decoration does it have? The common ones are the Art Nouveau lillies (earlier) or by 1921 it's more likely the Egyptian acanthus/palm design. Or you could be lucky enough to have a rarer pattern...- Angelicious

Authentic Hair Troubles
Hi everyone... I'm very new here. Thought I'd just jump on in... Well, I can get nice big rolls without either rats or backcombing... Maybe I just have a lot of hair? Come to think of it, I can get (I don't know correct terms) big back-sweeping side rolls with no rats, no backcombing...- Angelicious
