Hell Robin, I'd give my right arm to see you dressed like that and I'd give my left arm if you could get paper to dress like that.laugh


i'd think he's more interested in taking my clothes off, rather than putting them on. laugh


Come on Paper aren't you just a little curious to see him in tights?laugh


So what do you think of any sorts of vintage clothing, Chrissy? I thought I'd ask to prevent this thread from derailing into a personal conversation. ;-)






laugh laugh laugh good luck on that

no one here has figured out how to prevent that yet

Oh, it's typical in any forum environment with lax-moderation. I'm big on forums, I've seen some Nazi-like enforcement that bans someone after two hijacks of a thread... and then there's Mingle. lol. I don't like being the Nazi-forum-mod-type, but making one aware of it is always the first step to preventing it, right?

So I asked a direct question. :)

by the way, I think you would look great in a Matt Deckard custom tailored suit.

I want to get one of those on the top of the page:

I am a Huge Fan of the styles from the 30s and 40s. All my friends even know this. I was in a couple of shoe stores my last trip to Post Falls, Idaho and was quite surprised and delighted to see footwear reminiscent of the 40s. The elegance of back then has yet to be matched, as least in my eyes. Days when women actually got dressed up and men looked so stylish. Think, Kate Hepburn, Bette Davis, Lana Turner, Clark Gable, Gregory Peck, Rock Hudson. If I had an opportunity and reason to wear those old-fashioned fashions, I would in a heart beat.

Bring back the 30s and 40s!!!!!!!!

You have the opportunity as long as you live and breathe. What's stopping you? Public opinion?? c'mon.

My reason for wearing them is "I want to". isn't that as good a reason as any?

of course, save the real good stuff for formal engagements.

Reminiscent is always good, but vintage works well too. You'd be surprised to find many wing-tipped shoes and fedoras, etc on eBay in their original boxes from factories and hatters that have struggled to make ends meet and finally went flop in the 21st century.

I highly reccomend you become a member over at www.thefedoralounge.com. (can't use a free e-mail like gmail, hotmail, yahoo, etc. to sign up with)

There's a lot of women on there with your taste and you might enjoy it. Often times this vintage stuff is re-sold or put up for offer on their forums as it no longer fits someone, or something.

Touchee! Well, wing tips and fedoras are not really for me, but do you have any suggestions as to where I might source out other clothes?

here's what some of the ladies on that website are wearing.. :)
I'm sure they have the shoes, etc. to match. :)

I personally can't tell you where to shop for actual vintage, but there is a lady's clothing store called Anthropoligie that makes new stuff vintage-based. http://www.anthropologie.com

It's more of a golden-age based website than just Fedoras and Wingtips. :)

God,

I love the way people looked back then. Woman in those "oh so tight" @ss skirts, and way tall pumps, with pale skin, and bright red lipstick and nails.

And the men in those rockin suits and hats, and shiny shoes.

People were so classy and elegant back then.

love it!!!!!!!!

So what have you got? What're you buying?

In a small way, another point of my posting this here was to alert some of you who are into it, that... these clothes are still available and some of us still think it looks good.. so I encourage you to do some shopping. :)


Kansas City Confidential is one of my biggest persuasions into the 30s/40s/50s world. haha

John Payne, Preston Foster.. yah.

Kind of nice to know that a sense of style ain't dead out there.

Good for you bro.

If I am going out..(not to work)

I kind of dig being around the kids today....

they got no clue what a belt is for....
they all think that they are the only ones who wear thier hat like a retard.....

Next to them...they make me look GREAT!
