Obsessed!

Well, as you can see I haven't posted anything in a while. It's because I'm OBSESSED, obsessed I say, like a person that's gone MAD. Insane that is with making my own t-shirt dresses and tops from old t-shirts purchased at the local Thrift. I just can't get enough of the quirky iron-on's and all the ways I can refashion a tee. I'll post my creations here once I get a good amount to post. I've got so many ideas I can't even sleep at night! Look for them coming soon in the next couple of weeks. Who knows, it might inspire you!

GLAMOR...WHERE HAS IT GONE???

Does anyone miss Glamor like I do??? I mean old fashioned glamor that the everyday person personified. The full 50's skirts, the 60's tight wiggle with pointy sassy shoes. Oh, it seemed to be back full swing in the 80's. Glam big hair, Lot's of make-up, Avaunt Guard styles, bright strong colors..Fifties flashbacks in big full strapless sundresses. Why is the glamorous life more of a fantasy for a modern girl and not an everyday reality??? Why am I more comfortable in jeans and a t-shirt than in a full skirt and pointy high heels??? Maybe because everything is just so casual now. It seems little glamour fits into my everyday life now. And believe me, I try! Every once in a while I love to dawn a vintage wiggle, some long gloves and high high pointy heels, pearls and go to tea with a friend or two. It reminds me that I am woman, hear me roar, and yes because of the strides that women like my own Mother and many other fabulous women made in the 70s workplace, I can bring home the bacon and fry it up in a pan!!! (Even though currently, I am a domestic goddess.. and loving it!) and all in my wiggle and pointy pumps and pearls no less! All you VINTAGE VIXENS please keep the GLAMOUR alive and keep working those full 50s skirts with style and grace and keep purring in those oh so sexy wiggles!! You know you've got a fan and friend of vintage fashion in me.

For right now, I'm just going to keep enjoying all the glamorous eye candy in "De Lovely" keep it coming. I need to decide what my next time warp movie will be...possibly "All About Eve"? any suggestions??? Time warp movies on a Saturday night...almost perfection!

By the way.. Check out the 50s inspired swimsuits! Glamour spotted in modern day U.S.A! OMG!!! it's like seeing a U.F.O.... Love em! I went vintage swim crazy last week before a trip to Miami and bought 2 vintage inspired swimsuits. I felt quite glam in them I must say! I tried and tried to find a true vintage beauty in my size but atlas, it wasn't in the cards. I'll keep looking, just might get lucky someday. In the meantime, I've gone vintage pattern nuts on Etsy. Take a look at my favs. you'll see the ones I bought. They say, SOLD! don't know if I ever get around to making all of them, but I'll certainly try!
