    when you dress in Vintage do you also think & act, talk like they did from the era?

    . No, I don't try to: it comes naturally, no matter what I wear. Given that my mother was raised in (then) old-fashioned countries --France and Brazil-- by old-fashioned French parents, and that my father was brought up by his Victorian-era grandparents, I was raised to adopt the Golden Era...

    Amazing 1930s knitwear dress on ebay

    Apparently, it's repairable. We'll see. I still think it'll sell for a wad of money. :)

    The 1919 Win the War hat - war conservation effort

    And Oscar Wilde was, perhaps, an early adopter. Here he is on an American tour in 1882. Is this one of the first fedoras, or is it an American "slouch hat" descended from the Civil War-era ones? I'd say the latter. For all we know, Wilde saw a slouch hat for sale in an American store and...

    The Lawrence Welk Show

    An eight-year-old girl who hates frat boys. Such good sense for someone so young. ;) The video shows that it's just a silly, gimmicky 'novelty' song with a kid in it. Every country in the world has its own gimmicky kid-sung songs: they usually come out in the summertime, along with other...

    The Lawrence Welk Show

    Yep. The key question is not whether Mr. Welk knew, but whether his show's target audience would know. It's pretty safe to bet that most of them wouldn't ... so Mr. Welk's show was 'home free' to play the song. (Apparently, the censors were asleep on the job that day.)

    The Lawrence Welk Show

    Go back a few posts. Turns out that Johnny Cash's dope-smoking tune, "One Toke Over the Line", was sung on the Lawrence Welk Show.

    The Lawrence Welk Show

    Easy. Just tell Mr. Welk. And when he protests, reply that champagne is just fermented dope with bubbles.

    Show Us Your OVERCOATS

    Just a hunch: U.S. WWI military garb does not thrill Japanese buyers. I could be wrong, though.

    Ok, so some things in the golden era were not too cool...

    ... which is an improvement over what it was a few days ago.

    Does wearing vintage Get you noticed by the opposite sex?

    It was and is extreme. The only dancers I knew who'd act that way were those who "didn't want to waste a minute of [their] precious dancefloor time" with newbies. Ridiculous.

    Hair cuts

    With a bit of Steve ("Michael Scott") Carell mixed in.

    Does wearing vintage Get you noticed by the opposite sex?

    More than a popularity contest: money was involved. Some of the best (and/or most ambitious) Lindy Hop dance couples made pretty good dough via "Lindy instruction camps" held all over the world, TV/film/video appearances, live shows (on Broadway, at the Hollywood Bowl, etc.), instructional...

    Teenage Photos of YOU - If You Dare!

    Now, now. A few years ago, Lincsong posted a photo of you as a teenager, wearing a "Guess?" varsity jacket. It's around here somewhere ...

    1930s Stetson 5X Clear Beaver Quality western

    That's an insanely great hat of any kind. And $37.50 was an incredibly high price for a felt hat in the 1930s. Congrats!!!
