How about a vampire air-raid warden? "PUT OUT THAT LIGHT!" carries a whole new air of menace...

I knew it could! lol
The revolution has been a bit slow starting then, when The Chap just turned ten and I believe the Fedora Lounge is of similar vintage?
I have noticed more hats on men and more women wearing 'vintagey' dresses in the two cities between which I share my time. There may also be a growing acceptance of a more traditional mode of dress, I haven't been called a 'fag' in at least six months.

There was a TV show a few years ago about a vampire who served in WWII (before his wife turned him into one). It was a good show that some of us Loungers enjoyed--cancelled after one season, of course.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but the current mode of dress is just a passing fad. The people who called you names now dress like you. Next season they will be wearing whatever is hanging on clothing racks and be back to calling anyone who doesn't look like them names.LordBest said:
There is little enlightenment to be found in modes of dress.

For a type of style to last you need a few people who follow it. Which is why places in the UK and here on the East Cost in America seem to have a larger vintage subculture, then other places.
That and there seems to be arise in people who simply enjoy one piece of vintage clothing, whether that's just hats, or bomber jackets.
I do think the vintage subculture is growing though. If people start calling us something (as one thread here discusses in great detail) we will have come a long way.

It has been suggested to me! But I'm sticking to my guns. NO ZOMBIES or VAMPIRES in my novels!!!

Actually, I think the market for historical fiction (which a lot of publishers don't seem to think WW2 fits into) remains very strong.

I hear crazy hat people, but that sounds a bit to long. I don't see it catching on.

I agree. Saw the episode of fringe that had a story line and costuming from the 40.s Very impressive and the characters were all wearing fedoras.

We could be the crazy hat and elegantly attired people! Or CHEAP. lol It kind of fits most of us are thrift store shoppers.
"Look out here comes those CHEAP people again."
Wait till they find out how much we spend on hats though. lol
Somehow I prefer the vintage label... connections with wine or not

I saw the episode too, and while it wasn't strictly a forties homage, it was funny to see the film noir elements crashing into seventies music from Walter's... er, ah... smokey story telling. Plus computers, answer machines, and "cell" phones, all jumbled up with fifties automobiles and Twister dots of color scattered here and there.
