Vintage Image of the Day
Scrumptous.
Are these not the most
adorable shoes? Babydoll
oxfords, in RED. Now this is a
pair of vintage shoes I would
love to own.
DeLiso Debs, 1947

People are Strange....

OK I was tagged by Carol over at Dandelion Vintage to reveal 6 weird things about myself. I think my obsession with Neil Gaiman, Professor
Snape and The Dr. #9 are pretty clear so I'll have to dig deeper.
Why she wanted to torture me is beyond me, but here goes:









#1
I write all kind of comments on blogs and Live Journal and Fandom Wank
and never post them. I'll write a big long post with all my quite intelligent
reasons why Anne Rice is nutty as a fruit cake and then not post it.
Why do I do this?
I don't know why.

#2
I eat peanut butter and A1 steak sauce sandwiches. I don't know why,
but the flavors go together and make me happy. Comfort food from
my childhood.

#3
I hate Rachel Ray, man she gets on my nerves, but have a girl crush
on Helen Mirren.
I don't know why.

#4
I love movies, but do not like dragging myself out to the movie house.
I'd rather watch them at home. It drives my husband crazy. His
favorite thing to do is going to see a movie.
Of course I love to shop I just don't like having to drive anywhere
to do it.
Maybe I just hate to drive.

#5
I desperately want Harry Potter to be real.
...and no not so I can shag a certain Potions Master...you all have such
dirty minds...sheesh folks.
No, it is because I want magic to be real.
I sit and whisper "Accio phone" with all my might, but not a damn
thing happens.
I'm sure I'll spend time in purgatory for that.

#6
I want to be the crazy cat lady when I get old.
I will wear vintage gowns and cat eye glasses and shuffle around in
Daniel Green slippers whilst throwing kitty food around and
yelling "kitty kitty".

What I Found

If only all my finds were like these Dior shoes.


Do you love them as much as I do?
Are the colors not just sinfully yummy?
I had them sitting on my desk for days just so I could look at them.
If only they were Viver's.
Alas they are not.
Sexy cut to show the sides of a woman's foot, long toe box and
that scrumptious rosette make them the best vintage shoes
I have ever found.
So there you go....Vintage (early 60's) Dior D'orsay Pumps.

Vintage Images Has Returned!

The picture on the left is the one I choose to feature on Damn Good Vintage, but really both images are so delish I had to add the other part of the layout here.

Nipped waist suit from Adele Simpson and a perfect little sling cape over a pure silk printed surah sheath dress. These ads appeared in the Feb 1, 1951 issue of Vogue.

Bad Mommy

or how to screw with your teenager.
So The Boy and I were sitting here and a commercial came on for some
movie with the "frequency" that only teens can hear.
The Boy begins to just freak out.
I thought he was just fucking with me...doing some bizarre dramatic
"OMG! It is killing me!!!!!" dance.
So I went here and downloaded the 17KHz mosquito cell phone ringtone.
Then I hit play.
Hahahahahahahahah....
Ok, so it really does bother The Boy.

Dude, the power I have over him is UNLIMITED!
He will now empty the dishwasher when I ask, take out the trash at
the 1st suggestion and just basically be my minion until he is unable to hear
the demon sound any more.

I love technology.

"bow your heads and pretend to be serious"

This has to be the funniest damn story of the week.

Mooninites have invaded Boston.
Glad I don't live there....the stupidity hurts my brain.
Of course we were watching the news last night and feeling all
sorry for the folks in Boston about the scare.
That was until they showed a picture of the said device.

That was when I spit out my drink and my teen fell on the floor
in a hail of guffaws and yelling "Dude it is a Mooninite...muwhahahahahahahah".

Man what a clusterfuck the authorities in Boston have made this. Here is a great quote:

“It had a very sinister appearance,” Coakley told reporters. “It had a battery behind it, and wires.”

Well of course it looked sinister. We all know how sinister cartoon characters can be.

The Mooninites are NOT sorry, not sorry at all....
Of course if you lived in Boston and were smart you could have found one and
nabbed it for yourself or to sell on Ebay.
