A Visit to The Foundation

November 24, 2013, 18 Comments on A Visit to The Foundation

In making my Dixie Cousins costume, I came to the realization that the undergarment I was planning on wearing was just not working out, and I felt that a true underbust corset would be better suited towards my needs, as well, as, heck, I just wanted one.  So I returned to The Foundation: From Billie…

15 Vintage Essentials

June 12, 2013, 28 Comments on 15 Vintage Essentials

Awhile ago I was contacted by a reader who recently noticed a fashion trend, 15 essentials for your wardrobe.  She liked this idea, but felt that the contemporary trends didn’t help her in building up her vintage wardrobe, so she suggested the idea to me! Just remember, not every piece has to be vintage! Several…

How To Travel with Vintage

December 16, 2012, 15 Comments on How To Travel with Vintage

When vintage is all you own, traveling can be a bit of a burden in a way. Between getting folds in garments, worrying about damage on the road, not to mention all of the other travel anxieties, it can get a little hectic. Your Suitcase I travel using vintage luggage.  This is for a handful…

The Foundation

December 1, 2012, 9 Comments on The Foundation

Recently my dear friend Angelica introduced me to what has become one of my new favorite shops in town. The Foundation: From Billie to Bettie. It’s a little shop located at 4831 SE Davision here in Portland that sells everything (and more) that I included in my Vintage Must Have Foundations Series (Read more on…

Sizzling Vintage

July 16, 2012, 6 Comments on Sizzling Vintage

This past weekend brought one of my favorite events of the year…the summer antique show at the Portland Expo Center.  Hosted by Palmer Wirfs, the summer Expo has over a thousand dealers selling various items ranging from fine furnishings from the turn-of-the-century to vintage clothing to collectable toys. I attended all three days of the show…

Vintage Must Have: Girdle

June 16, 2012, 4 Comments on Vintage Must Have: Girdle

In the last segment of my “Vintage Must Have” series I tackled bullet bras. Now let’s go a little further south and discuss girdles.  The girdle was the mid-century answer to the corset. And while it can take a few inches off your waist, I find them more necessary for holding up my stockings and…

Instagram post 2198069001656047657_12728186 #flashbackfriday to when I ran the Jurassic World 5k. While I am a massive Hitchcock fan, the Psycho house holds an extra special place in my heart because it was also used in one of my favorite episodes of my favorite TV show, The Adventures of Brisco County Jr., “Bad Luck Betty.” The episode is a homage to Psycho in a lot of ways, and highlights the steampunk elements of the show wonderfully. Swipe to see screen caps of the house as it was seen in Brisco. .

Instagram post 2197596989632459899_12728186 Looking at vintage Knott’s Berry Farm on Etsy is dangerous. I just bought myself this amazing tablecloth. I love the fact that Deadwood Dick’s tombstone and Goldie’s leg are on it. Plus the map in the middle makes it extra special.

Instagram post 2188316514954973109_12728186 How did I spend my Black Friday? Picking up trash. Green Bird is one of the greatest things about Anaheim. This group of people care about their community, history, and environment. Seriously my kind of people! If you live in Anaheim, I STRONGLY suggest following @greenbirdanaheim and joining the next clean up, December 14. You’ll meet swell people, get a small walk in, and help your community. It isn’t a big commitment either. Make it to what clean ups you can, no minimum required, and the clean ups only last an hour.
