Coffee...YUM!

i was reading this cute little blog post today about a funny little book about not being wasteful (from the 50s) and it gave the idea that instead of trowing out your old coffee you could put it into ice trays and freeze it for iced coffee on hot days..well since we won't be having those any time soon I thought it would also be a great way to cool down your coffee (if you're a baby about hot drinks like my hubby) without adding more creamer or milk diluting the coffee goodness...or you could use it to spice up another drink without overpowering it with coffee flavor, like eggnog! Anyways...just a thought I had.

The 12 Days of Deals

Going from Dec 14-25th in my Etsy store I'm having 1 randomly selected item 50% off for 24 hours at a time. So far we've had the red pea coat the hot pink peingnoir the avant garde navy cape, the brown and white cardigan and 80s crinoline sundress at 50% off! Still 7 days left of deals so don't get discouraged if you missed out on the first few days. Such great deals, the 50% off puts most items at around $2o or LESS! Thats a great deal for quality vintage and NO ITEM WILL BE DISCLUDED FROM THE SALE but keep in mind they're all random so even I don't know which piece will be up for sale on any given day. Check my FB Fan Page for the post or go directly to my Etsy Store and it will be in the featured listings section.

Ebay listings are all about suits this week. Sorry, no pics until tomorrow. ;) Gotta get you to come back some-how now don't I?

oops i almost forgot about the blog...

well i know its been quite a while since I posted anything. I just don't know what to say. I could talk about my newest vintage pieces, sales and listings. I could talk about vintage fashion. How-to style vintage fashions with modern ones. Which vintage pieces i'd love to have...oh geez, I could say so much...but I don't really have much to say. I've been reading more vintage blogs, most of them already cover these points. So how about saying something different...but what?hmmm i'll have to think about it...

oh and incase you were wondering I got a rating of 3.2 last time I looked at the zombie pin-up contest..not good. It pretty much discouraged any thoughts or dreams I had of pin-up modeling. oh well....we can't all do what we want.

Business has been good with ebay and etsy. 9 items sold on etsy...lots of ebay sales...but its the holidays now so ebay sales are slowed. No one wants to buy vintage for christmas.

ZOMBIE ME!

I've wanted to be a pin-up model since I first discovered pin-up. I quickly grew obsessive with Bettie Page (cult pin-up legend) Dying my hair dark and giving myself bettie bangs. I was told I looked like her (YAY!!!!!)So that made my passion for modeling grow and grow. Right after highschool one of my girlfriends and I modeled for each-other for fun. I loved it. We grew apart after lying to one of my other friends and blah blah you know how that goes. So I've been out of the lens for a while....and I've let myself go with age, boredom and a sedentary job. I'm trying to take more pictures...nothing really below the waist (unless I have to) and facebook has helped me re-gain some of that lost confidence. I've discovered this adorable web site MyZombiePinUp.com. <3 it! And right now they're having a contest to win a spot in their next calendar. I know I won't win...cuz I'm much too heavy to be picked....but just the thought that I COULD win makes me feel giddy. I keep going back and forth because of my overweightness whether or not I want to enter...but my friend convinced me to do it....Here's hoping... :) I'll post again when i've sent in my entry...it probably won't even be considered for the contest...LOL

New Inventory Preview!

Some amazing pieces this week. I was very excited! I've been going later in the day than I used to go so I'm always afraid that I won't find anything. Gold lame pellum cocktail dress, silk 50's sailor girl dress, purple prairie dress, pink and black lace lolita dress and brightest pink peignoir set!
