I most definitely know what you mean!!
That awkward gap at the waist comes from having a shapely body and is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of! Most of today's low-waisted pants are shaped like men's pants, straight up and down. I remember total frustration and embarrasment when I was young...
I've never heard of STEAMPUNK either Ohairas! But I LOVE the link you put up! I think I have to go back there and try to find info on the 1912 one pictured on the right! It's gorgeous!
Changing out of the BLACK look
I've never gone through a BLACK phase but I can say that some people just don't feel or look good in the lighter pastel colors and I see no problem with that! I wear primarily earth colors; my skin is darker (Native American/Italian) so those light yellows...
I think other women judge women much more critically than men do, at least here in the US.
I, personally, try to dress comfortably and in a way that suits me and is pleasing to the opposite sex.
Obviously, there are times when dressing just to please your man has its...

I tell you what... if you get a good set, no one will know you have them on! In earlier years, when I was smaller in the bust than I am now, I tried wearing those 'chicken fillets' to try to match my top, to my small waist and way too ample bottom. They worked like a dream! I found that the...
I agree totally about the low neckline comments! Being big busted myself, I think that popping out of my shirts not only looks trashy but sloppy as well. I've found that some of the REAL vintage camis are perfect for covering up! I have a flesh colored one that fits like a dream, so any...
So do I! Doesn't matter what's in them, men's or women's clothing will do just fine for me. I especially enjoy the graphics around the clothing!

Brown Derby CEREAL?
Do you know what I just realized?
Take another look at that BROWN DERBY barrel... the ad is for Brown Derby TOASTED CEREAL -The Family Favorite! How do you like that? I didn't realize!! I'm not sure that I would go and purchace some Brown Derby Toasted Cereal though!
End of Catalog
Ok, that's all....
I'll go there again next year and just ask to take pictures of the book, carefully. I would have done so this year but I had 4 boys in tow and I think it would have only caused the owners to panic ;)
I hope you enjoy the catalog! The artwork around the suits...
Another Scotch ad
A barrel, presumably for holding Derby hats, with Derby ad
A very small ad, maybe 3x5"
A few pair of women's shoes that were hanging up
This is a cupboard type of cabinet, with the add on the front door
I'm not sure what this one was about.... it is...
Hello all!
Recently, I was home in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire and stopped at
one of my favorite old stores, the Moultonborough Country Store. While there,
I realized that they had added to their one room attic 'museum', so I decided
to go and take a look.
Upon entering the...
Job app. for your new lyric writer
MATT DECKARD!!!!!!!!!
I clicked on your MySpace link, then went to get a cup of coffee... when I came back my 3 boys were all snickering and looking at the computer. They recognized the 'song' as something I play on the piano, however the lyrics coming out of...
