Best photo of a Vintage christmas tree....has to be now..not off an archive somewhere....

I know you're already doing the holiday pic contest, but how about one with the best duplicated picture? Of course, Lolita would probably have this one in the bag already with her and her grandmother's photo!
But just members duplicating old family photos, Elvgren prints, movie stills, and the like.

I like Ohaira's idea!

 

[Ada Veen]

you could do best duplicated picture of another lounge member's avatar

 

[ohairas]

I like this idea too! Good one LD!

Makeover a non vintage (human) friend.

Best Pompadour Contest (M or F can enter this one)

 

[Miss Brill]

Hmmm...well this has only garnered a few responses so far.

Maybe I shouldn't bother to post things? It seems that almost no one is interested in the items. I am particularly surprised only one person responded to the recipe contest for a 1937 Cookbook, value $36. I can just donate them to charity and not bother anyone on the Lounge.

Thoughts?

Your hats are always too small for me.

What about movie quotes? You could choose lines from certain movies & see who can guess the movie?


Or a word scramble of the name of a star, movie, or song?

What about "guess the designer" and post a picture of someone wearing a designer gown?


You could make a puzzle of a picture & we'd have to guess who was in the picture. You know, like on I'm Not Obsessed where they show the eyes, lips, and nose of someone famous?

Some great contest ideas so far.

I had an idea that your "Traveling Hat" contest inspired.
I collect vintage evening purses and thought a traveling evening purse variation of that contest would be fun.No one has to be a particular size for an evening bag to fit.(I can supply the purse,too)

The premise would be to plan an evening out that is inspired by the Golden Era.Cocktail attire requested.It could be cocktails out with the girls,a romantic dinner,or an event.Your creativity is all that it will take and it doesn't matter if the rest of society isn't in on it.lol
We would also want to know what makes it "vintage inspired" to you.Is the building historical?or is it the band playing old jazz favorites?

Let me know what you think.I think I'm suffering from a bit of cabin fever and looking for an excuse for a night out myself.

[Atterbury Dodd]

1. Most mysterious Fedora Lounger photo contest

2. Strangest story contest (could be mystery or noir
) --set in the 1920's-1950's

3. Best time travel story contest

4. Strangest ended Ebay auctions contest

I would prefer 2, 3 would be next.

To-bad I didn't know you were giving away a 30's cook book. I could have got my sister cooking all kinds of 30's dishes!

I need to count the entries so far in this thread. I am counting by PERSON, not by suggestion.

Want to do it for me?
