    Yes it is, a very soft, lightweight suede.

    Show Us Your Purchases!

    Though I've not gotten photos of all my latest acquisitions, yesterday at the vintage market I impulsively snapped up these two hats. I love hats, though don't always have the hair to wear them correctly. These, being green, were just irresistible. (Forgive the model's condition; she had a...

    What's on Top - Bras, panties, garter belts, slips, & stockings

    A few years ago I went to a local lingerie boutique to get a 'proper' fitting, after reading so much about women often wearing the wrong size. Perhaps I expected too much, but it was a somewhat disappointing experience. The woman measured me as I have measured myself - around the ribcage and...

    What Happened to Chivalry?

    The only thing I see as fact is that the potential is always there; an attack can conceivably happen anytime, and to anyone, as can an out-of-the-blue accusation of inappropriateness. I can honestly say I do not spend much (if any) of my time living in fear, despite having a home in the midst...

    Grow hair out for 30s 'do?

    Or there's the wig option. With your super short hair, there'd be no problem with throwing on a wig in a '30s style when the mood strikes.

    What Happened to Chivalry?

    I will second Miss 1929, as the mother of a young woman who has recently been taken advantage of in a way that has changed her life and turned 'friends' against her (friends who were upset that she reported the 'incident' to the police). That phone call at 3:30 am and subsequent hours in the ER...

    What Happened to Chivalry?

    While I do not believe that men, in general are 'scary and dangerous', when I am out and about alone, I make a point to have my wits about me, and be aware of who is in the vicinity. Head up, eyes ahead, a determined step, and all radars alert is how a woman has to be. I won't even bother to...

    Want to trade - your train case for my train case?

    If you haven't got a good offer by Sunday, let me know. I'm looking for a train case, but haven't found one that utterly trips my trigger yet. Red sounds very tempting. :) I'll be visiting a few large antique malls this weekend, where cases are plentiful. I'll be happy to look for one in a...

    The Treasure of the Sierra Madre: Question

    Yes. He wasn't likable but he certain evokes pity, the poor fellow.

    The Treasure of the Sierra Madre: Question

    My question is this: what were the 'tigers' they kept referring to? Mountain lions?

    Actually Wearing Vintage Makeup?

    Lizzie, I have that book! I snagged it at the annual (amazing and massive) library book sale, along with so many other charming old volumes most people wouldn't look twice at. :offtopic: Another is "Censored - The Private Life of the Movies", which talks about the censorship boards, and...

    Mixmasters

    Last month I bought a Model 7, on a bit of an impulse. Over Thanksgiving, my mother was lamenting the loss of my grandmother's vintage mixer, and seeing as I've never owned a 'real' one, figured this opportunity was a sign for me to snap it up while I could. I don't yet know what to do with...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    We brought a friend home from an art opening last night, and after a bit of wine and a fine taste of Patron coffee tequila (gorgeous!), we showed her "Romance and Cigarettes." John Turturro and the Coens, along with James Gandolfini, Christopher Walken, Steve Buscemi, Susan Sarandon, a very...

    Vintage Desecration - Things Altered/Repurposed, and a Vintage Treasure Lost Forever.

    I like the cut and fabric of this dress, but would I wear it with all that painting on? Of course not. :(

    Suspenders for Women

    The look I was trying to replicate for the Arts Council's "works of art" float in the Halloween parade: While I don't have the 'well-endowed' problem, I'm awfully short-waisted, which makes it hard to tuck in any kind of top that's not tidily tailored.

    So what did you wear to ring in the New Year?

    A Marilyn-style halter dress, topped with a Betty Boop t-shirt, for my job of face painting at the big downtown shindig. I only worked till 11, but didn't feel the need to change once I got home. The Mr. and I had a wine toast at midnight, and went to bed shortly after. Oh, I also wore my Dior...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    The day after day, night after night, video footage was boring to me. I sat through more than an hour before my sis-in-law telephoned and kept me talking in the other room for over twenty minutes. When I returned to the tv, my Mr. said, "it's getting scarier". I guess the girl had become...

    Beauty Complaints

    That gives me an idea; maybe I'll name my next cats Dior and Givenchy.... ;)
