Vanity Fair Ice Blue nightgown in a larger XL/XXL size!



NOS “Play Bra”



Just for FUN! Cute Enid Collins purse and a pink 50’s “portable” hairdryer.

Photbucket is back up. Here are the pictures of my newest patterns.

~gah~
I really wanted to show off some chic new vintage Vogue patterns
that I have listed on ebay, but photobucket does not want to
play today.
All in large sizes, B38 and B40, with free shipping.
I'll try to put up pics later, but for now all I can do is
point you in the direction of The Zaftig Goddess Vintage.
Go take a look, you won't be disappointed.

Mommy wars, anyone?

Sheesh, when will we stop eating our own? Why can't we just let other Mom's live their own lives? Why is it anyone's fucking business if a mom chooses to put her kid in daycare or not?
This is an older post from Reb on Home-Schooled by a Cackling Jackal. She had recently posted that her little one would be going to day care ~gasp~ two days a week so she could get some WORK DONE! The comments are not all positive.
That is too bad.
I see part time daycare as a win-win situation in many cases. Moms, especially stay-at-home moms who are also working from home, can really use a day or two ALONE.
I have a teen, that I homeschool, and I promise you I dearly love those days when I get a call from a friend asking can The Boy come hang out with Alex for a few days?
Hello? I've probably loaded him the van before she got all the words out of her mouth.
Look, no matter what we do, we are all gonna screw up our kids in one way or another.
Stay at home vs. not stay at home, homeschool vs. public vs. private school, no matter what if mom is driven insane then the kids are fucked.
Think of the children. Please.
Don't drive yourself batshit crazy trying to be everything to everyone and don't watch Dr. Phil....he makes baby Jesus cry.
And stop worrying about how other moms are raising their own kids...it really is none of your damn business.

I really love this Vogue Special Design pattern that I just listed in my eBay store. Very smart and perfect for the summer. A versitle dress that you can dress up or down with your fabric choices and how great is that neckline?

I have an obsession for vintage shoes, so shoe-incons.com is almost like porn.
What makes the site even better are the folks behind it.
Last week I was still feeling just a bit iffy about those Charles Jourdans below so I sent an email to the folks at Shoe-icons (which is THE SPOT on the web to drool over the best vintage shoes) and they were kind enough to validate my circa 1960's date and to point out that those shoes are featured on
the Charles Jourdan website in their history section for the 1960's.
~gah~
How did I miss that?
I was all over that website.
I feel so unworthy of the title of Goddess and even more unworthy to have these truly fabulous shoes at my humble abode for much longer.

This week's damn good vintage auctions at The Zaftig Goddess Vintage:

Just a few, but they are special.
Vintage 60's Charles Jourdan pumps!!! How wonderful are these shoes?
A 50's Catalina pin-up swimsuit and a wonderful rayon 40's swing dress.
Don't forget to also search VBO on ebay to get the last of the great specials.

Get thee hence to eBay for the Vintage Blow Out sale through the 31st!
Just search VBO, all items fixed price/Buy It Now, nothing above $19.99!
Tons of great items from your favorite vintage sellers.

Vintage patterns make me so happy.
Here are two I have at auction right now.
And in larger sizes!

On my eBay watch list, how can you resisit chiffon and polka dots?
Go take a look....

On my eBay watch list:

God, I want this LAMP!!!

I'm lazy.
~gasp~
NO really, I am. Sooooo lazy at times.
Look at how often I update this blog.
I'll be sitting in the bathtub, thinking of great new posts about things like I don't get American Idol or why do I find Johnny Knoxville sexy even though he looks like a guy who only changes his underwear once a week or you should see the MCM glass ashtray I got this weekend, it has orange fish on it.
Have you read those posts?
No.
Which brings me to one of my recent auction listings.
I bought this dress with the full intention of making it pretty again, selling as a wedding dress and getting uber bids on it.
~sigh~
Got so far as cleaning it and really that was a chore. The thing was dingy and now it is lovely. Unfortunately either it already had holes in the english net OR I created them. Either way it has sat in my room now for two months and I have come to the conclusion that I will never do it justice and am selling it.
So since I am lazy the dress is listed and someone is going to get a great buy on a beautiful tulle and lace evening gown.

On my eBay watch list:

I have a weakness for antique and vintage corsets.
Must be all the historical romances I read in my youth. The heroine more likely then not had "lush, heaving breasts above her corset".

Well no matter, the seller linked below consistently has some of the sexiest and lush vintage lingerie listed. The corset below makes me wish for a 19 inch waist and a dance card to be filled.
Plus the pics are fab.

They are just movies folks....

That's all I'm saying.
You and your kids will survive not seeing The Greatest Game Ever Played this weekend.
You do not need to get all huffy because the video store won't let you rent another DVD until you pay that $35.00 late fee. How hard is it to return a movie to the drop box?
Yes, you do need two forms of id to open an account. Don't glare at me about it, I don't make the rules, nor do I own the company.
People get way too serious about renting movies....

When Mannis attack.

This auction for a vintage mannequin on eBay is a HOOT!
Go look and see, the 1st pic is your link.

On my eBay watch list:

I do have other loves besides all things vintage.
There is the Mr. Whom I have been married to for over 20 years.
Yes, that is an amazing amount of time.
And I am the unschooling mom of a 14 yr old who will hence forth be referred to a "The Boy".
But I have some deeper secrets.
Hmmmm, looking back over my posts I realize that I have not yet outed myself as the geek I truly am.
So I admit to all who read, that yes I am a Harry Potter fan. I read fanfiction and have an unhealthy obsession with Professor Snape.

Let's just say I would not turn down a chance to serve detention in the dungeons with The Potions Master.


I also am a Neil Gaiman stalker fan...another of my unhealthy obsessions. How can one not be?

This wonderful Vogue pattern can be found in my eBay store. I love the crisp, cool look of it and the adorable curved bolero.
Very chic.
Very "new look".
1953

Do you not love these shoes?
I wish they fit me...they would never leave my house.
Smoking hot Levine Stilettos and a cute pair of mod shoes.

Go and drool.
