Cool! These were extra popular & quite pricey in tourist trap towns in the late 70's. A lot of them sold at dockside boutiques, the beach towns, etc. Even Vegas, Baby! So ya may wanna add cruis' and or beach to yer auction somewhere. I always wanted one of the back then. I've had a few...

How about Outkast Groupie Just a thought...and to me they look too precise to be madras. my 2¢ worth leisa

Embroidery Embroidery Embroidery! And be sure to mention those "train" thangs & the hangie downie things at the bottom of them. Also maybe the "extended vee collar". ('cause I can't think of what else to call it) Also - what's that hem/edge effect called? It isn't scalloped, but there...

I absolutely Love 40's Suits. You know - the Joan Crawford tailored style with all the cool details. tailored looks especially great on me for some reason. My daily "look" is usually a 40's jacket worn with newish jeans. And cowgal boots. Even in summer, I wear the boots at work. They're...

I don't remember that - but I DO remember tying them to my shoelaces around 1960(?).

Swade = Suede I kid you not - I've seen it more than once. Cordoroy or Curdaroy = Corduroy I'm sure I've seen more, but the escape me at the moment.

Theresa - The food in Nawlins is the best in the universe! As is the music. A word of advice. If you decide to hang out for a day or two, the best music isn't on Bourbon street. Oh - it's good there, but the music Uptown at the Maple Leaf Bar & a few others close to it is a Lot better &...

You LUCKY Girl!!!! Wow - my luck is that those kind of things only show up for me when I'm totally broke. I could do with finding a few fab things to finance my trip to Nawlins, too! I'm really happy for you & Can't Wait to see MORE!!!

Hey Theresa; I only know about New Orleans. And I haven't been there is almost ten years. There is a store called "Value City" on Canal & Carrollton. Close to the freeway. It's large & it used to be cheap. Also there are tons of little junk stores in and around the French Quarter. The...

#1 - I absolutely hated the 80's fashion then & still do. However - I still have 2 pair of bodacious earrings that my Mom gave me. I'm not really fond of either pair, but she thought they'd look good on stage & I just never have been able to discard them. Everytime I see them, I think of her...

Wow!!! Look at all the new folks! This is GREAT! I'm Leisa - my eBay name & vc-mall name is nowandthenfashion. My website - which is pretty much a train wreck right now - is nowandthenfashion.com. Actually, I was just seeing what all I could do with it, so I started it on Bravenet for...

Man! Carolyn - I sold the same dress last year. I think I called it dark chartreuse. It was a toss up between that & Exorcist Green. ;) But yours has a bolero with it! Lucky girl, you! I can't remember what I got for mine - I think it was in the $25 range - maybe $30? I DO remember is...

Oh boy. In my case, I think it's more like "What DON"T you collect?" LOL I also collect Fiesta. I have the new to eat on, but only Gray, Chartreuse, Indigo, Turquoise & Terra Cotta. I had to put the lid on that obsession somewhere. ;) I also love Boxes - the smaller & more ornate, the...

Shall I add my logos here, as well, Justine & Gayle?

Oh wow Kari... I just got all sweaty thinking about June, New Orleans & much preggo. You'd be sooooo miserable in that heat & humidity! Aww well, I'm hoping we can all make this an annual event!

Did I count 54 pieces? I gotta show this to evie. If I know Jonathan, everything is in pristine condition! oooooh aaaaahhhhh... lil l

Oh..... I Want!!! ;) They are all scrumptious. I can't find any snazzy ones around here - everyone is sooo conservative. And I think the thrift stores have "regulars" they save this type of thing for. Seriously, I do need two RS buttons for this fabulous dressing gown we got at an estate...

what? nobody's going??? ;) ;) ;)

Set for June 24-26 in New Orleans, y'all!!! Quite a few of the VFG members of us are planning to meet there & we hope to hook up with y'all, too if you're going! Flights & Rooms can be found for reasonably cheap on Orbitz. And I know some of the other VFGers used other online services to...

A bit off base here - like that's new from me. ;) But when I first moved here, we went to a thrift store & they had like 4 Pullitzer shifts & a couple of Vested Gentresses. The guy put them back for me, but I didn't find a job in a timely manner & he had to put them back out. So I missed...

I simply can Not be uncomfortable. My jeans are snug, not tight. As much as I love detailed tailored 40s & 50s suits, I don't want to wear them to work & ruin them. Plus, it's hard to climb a ladder & move clothing rods & racks around in a pencil skirt. heh The other side of that coin is that...
