How did you find the lounge?

[Tony in Tarzana]

My wallet and Amex however, hate you:rage:

Yep, mine too. I don't think vintage hats are the best 401K plan. lol

 

[Wild Root]

Darn you Matt Deckard!!!

Yep, it's his fault... ALL OF IT! lol

I was friends with him before there was a Lounge... he ran into MK and then he started hanging out with him and other members at the Pub and other gatherings... he then twisted my arm to join pretty good... so, I joined.lol

So, here I am, over three years later... crazy stuff!

I recall reading the internet menu of a French-Vietnamese restaurant
here in Chicago, and somehow just stumbled in.

 

[ArrowCollarMan]

I found the lounge by looking up "double breasted vest". I found a thread, looked at the site and said to myself, "This is my cup of tea".

 

[Lady Day]

Found out about it when Atomic magazine ended.

Same. But I didnt find Atomic mag till a few months ago.

Newbie here! I found the Fedora Lounge while googling vintage Make-up and it directed me here. I looked around and I liked what I saw and I joined up right away, I did not even lurk, I just started posting! Everbody is so cool here!!! Luv Ya All.

Brooksie

Smile it will make people wonder what you are up to!

 

[Rosie]

I don't remember exactly, I think I was googling vintage makeup or hairstyles and came across a thread, I jumped right in with positng and haven't stopped yet.

 

[RedPop4]

My friend Spiridon drove over to New Orleans to watch the Super Bowl, and had a brand new custom hat he wanted to show off. I complimented him on it, and he told me he had three wool hats in the car he wasn't going to wear anymore since he got his new hat.

Did I want them? Sure, I'll take them. I started wearing them, and he told me he visited this site, that seemed a lot like Cigar Weekly where we met, and that I'd like it. So I joined, and have been posting where appropriate and reading in other spots.

I'm a regular over on The High Road. A thread popped up about vintage holsters a while ago and I followed the link. Used to date a swing dance instructor and I've liked hats for a while so I've been lurking intermittently, soaking up the vintage.

Finally, y'all being such a nice community, decided to bite the bullet and join up. What's one more forum after all? :eusa_doh:

I too am working a new line (vintage) into my budget.

 

[Samsa]

Hm, I actually don't remember the exact circumstances. I had just bought my first fedora (a new, non-vintage stingy brim) from a local hatter and was researching hats in general, and somehow came upon this site. Maybe through the Golden Era site?

 

[FedoraGent]

Conflict..

I'm in conflict over this one. It was either Atomic or a search engine that I did on Google eventually brought me here. Either way, I'm glad that what ever the heck it was...it was good.

FG.

WWII

I came by this site while looking for WWII era items, little did I know it would lead me further, Movies, Golden Era, Hats...I'm just hoping we remain "Fedora Lounge" some times we go off topic, other eras, its fine, but... you catch me drift Guess thats why there are monitors, but I've learned quite a bit from many here, grateful, carry on gang.

 

[LizzieMaine]

I'm pretty sure I came across it in a Google search sometime last fall -- I was getting bored with my hairstyle and was looking around for period-appropriate inspiration, and that led me to the Powder Room. Having been a solitary vintage-living kind of gal for most of my life, I was amazed that there were actually *other people out there* who were the same way.

I lurked for a while, to make sure I hadn't stumbled onto some kind of sinister hat-wearing plot for world domination (I'd just read a detective novel revolving around an evil retro cult, and had a hard time shaking it), and when I was satisfied that all was on the square, I joined up!

 

[fortworthgal]

I'm a regular over on the WWII Reenactor message forum, and was looking for information on period hairstyles to go with my uniforms. Denise (D Day Doll) directed me over this way. I had previously lurked here in a couple of threads, but hadn't registered.

 

[Cousin Hepcat]

coworker (heard me talking about the 40s)

 

[imoldfashioned]

I'm not sure I remember...

It was definitely through a link from another site, probably 1940's fashion or hair related. It wasn't that long ago, so it's odd I can't remember the source exactly.

 

[DancingSweetie]

My sweetie johnnydnh used to get the Atomic magazine, then found this and got me started on it.

 

[waingirl]

I was doing a yahoo search on vichy water for my Casablanca themed wedding and found tons of interesting stuff here! I am so glad I found it, now I'm addicted.

 

[Caledonia]

I think I was looking for vintage hair style info. But can't remember exactly. But, whatever, I'm really glad I found it.
