HELLOOOOO!!!! I am so excited to be here as a member. Just getting around to poking through the new areas of the site, and hoping I can add value for everyone. I'm located in snowy Syracuse, NY, which also happens to be the birthplace of the fellow in my profile photo. His name is "Kenneth"...just Kenneth...and he is the originator of the bouffant hairstyle. I've got reams of material on him, and hope to offer an essay sometime in the near future.
Oh, and I've got some cool vintage, as well. I've been collecting since I was a teen (and I'm a retiree, now, so...it's a lot). I thrift, go to estate sales, visit flea markets and antique stores...and I sew from vintage patterns. My favorite part of collecting and selling is what I learn along the way.
Nice to meet you all!
-Gina.
