Pie Makes Everything Better
I made a Derby Pie yesterday minus the pecans.
Fang really wanted some and The Boy said I should give her some.
I said no "pie is not good for crazy big head dogs" and then my teen said;
Pie is good for everyone, pie makes everything better.
No truer words have been spoken.
Like I said he is a budding philosopher.
Mr. Kitty says;
More Pie

I've discussed my love of the 40's Noir look many times.
Of all the eras I sell I would be happy if all I had was 40's Noir vintage clothing and, of course, vintage shirtwaist dresses.
What makes me sad is that my luck in finding those dresses is not so hot.
It may be that my area was pretty poor and conservative during that time and that style was just too "fast" to be acceptable.
I need to get an estate of a gal who lived "loose" during that time, a gal who was a mobster's moll and went to swanky clubs then retired to Arkansas with all her "stuff".
Anyway, I do have this great dress listed now:
Yummy.
Love the sheer smocked bodice and the ruched cummerbund.....and I just like black.
Also this pretty sheer Peggy Bets blouse to be worn under a nice nipped waist suit.

Cat Macros Make Me Happy
I don't know if any of you have ever read Smart Bitches, but they are a hoot, mostly making fun of bad romance novels (they like good ones) and cheesy covers. Recently they had a contest using cat macros and acceptance letters for LOLuz novels.
Cat macros as cheesy romance novel covers.
OMG, I just spent 15 min or so laughing so hard I was crying.
For your enjoyment:

Mad Men
Of course I am in love with Mad Men on AMC.
Set in 1960 New York, the daring new series is about the lives of the ruthlessly competitive men and women of Madison Avenue advertising, an ego-driven world where key players make an art of the sell while their private world gets sold.
The booze, the smoking, the smarmy sexism and good God, the clothes!
Sexy secretary dresses, full skirt cocktail dresses and everything in between.
I think my favorite would have to be the body enhancing outfits Joan (Joan is on the right in the picture above) wears and the more "good girl" garments of Betty Draper.
Joan would have loved this Suzy Perette (which were copies of Paris designs that the working girl could afford) wiggle dress or worn this great pinup sweater from Darlene with a really tight skirt:
Betty would wear this perfect pink shirtwaist dress or the ice blue vintage cocktail dress below:
Of course you can feed your inner Joan, Betty, Peggy and any other character you find compelling at Damn Good Vintage.

And it ends....
If you have NOT read Deathly Hallows you are about to be spoiled:
I just finished my 2nd reading and I am even happier with the book then I was on my 1st reading.
I will admit that the only thing I did not like in the book was the use of "Sev" in the Prince's Story. That annoying nickname is now canon.
Ugh.
To me the deaths, even Snape's are all about the randomness of violence and how even after you have devoted your life to something you just might get screwed in the end and die alone and unloved, but I'm pretty cynical that way.
He was always gonna die. Would I have preferred a more glorious one for Snape?
Well sure.
But he was a man who never grew up, who could not get past his horrible childhood nor his 1st love or his childhood rivals.
He was not even close to being a nice person.
He was a bitter git who was ruled by his insecurities and petty hatreds.
Which is what makes him so compelling...plus he could fly.
I like Dumbeldore much more now that we know his shades of gray could be quite dark.
There is a nice tension between Dumbeldore growing and learning from his insight into his flaws whereas Severus never could.
He could not see why Lily turned her back on him, he could not see why it was NOT ok with her that he did not think she was a "mudblood", but all the rest of the muggle borns were, he could not understand that he was making the wrong choices that she could no longer support.
Tough love, eh.
He only turned aganist Voldemort because of his obsessive love for Lily he could care less about Harry or even the fight between the dark and the light.
Though I did like how he told Phinius not to call Hermonie a "mudblood".
I like that JK makes it clear in her interview that he was "immensely brave" but not really a hero. I also like it fits in with the whole "don't judge a book by its cover" theme that runs though out the books.
BUT she does throw us a bone in that we do not have a funeral or a headmaster’s portrait on the wall.
No one will ever make me believe Snape was not prepared for Nagini ...well at least until she says "he is dead" or puts a date of death in her encyclopedia.
While I wish Neville had killed Bella (and really he could have never beat her and in the end he was a hero by killing that damn snake) I thought Molly was made of awesome and deserved to seek retribution on those who had decimated her family.
Plus one of the main themes of the books was what love, a mother's love, could accomplish.
It turned Narcissa into a traitor (and how much I love the fact that in the end the only thing the Malfoys really cared about was Draco), made Molly a warrior and saved Harry's life.
On a forum someone was upset that Molly "who has not done anything for the Order" all of a sudden turned out to be this bad ass and that she did not deserve the glory of killing Bella.
I disagree that what Molly was doing was not useful to the order.
She provided a warm place in a cold world for order members, a place to meet, a place to find sustenance and companionship and proved once again that there is no such thing as "just a housewife".
Of course all the deaths made me weep.
Though I think Dobby's was the most unexpected and tragic....but we should have known Bella liked to play with knives. I actually cannot think of Fred without tearing up.
War is cruel.
I could go on and on...I feel drained and happy to see that Harry goes on to live a life of joy with the family he always wanted.

And it begins...
The next few weeks will be fun as the Harry Potter fandom explodes with movie wank and then, OMG!, the last book wank.
I'm gonna need tons of popcorn.
On our way out the door to meet friends for food and fun and then the midnight showing of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
Batshit crazy Bella.
Snape.
and Lucius.
In leather.
ETA:
~meh~
There is NO bigger Potter dork out there then me, but I was so sadly disappointed (and I am never one to complain about what gets left out, except for the Snape stuff).
I kept thinking "Jesus will this never end?".
That's pretty bad.
I can't even put why I thought it was just ~meh~ into words.
It just was.
Lat 30 min was great though.
Bellatrix was awesome.
Lucius in leather....yumm.
Lots 'o Snape.
Oh, and Mack Daddy Sirus in his velvets.
But I still am just ~meh~......
I have a feeling I will be alone in my opinion since everyone we went with last night thought is was all "OMG AMAZING".
EETTAA:
To show what a Potter dork I really am I actually went today and saw it AGAIN (yes a movie I was not happy with) and I am happy to report that on a 2nd viewing I like.
It could be that I was just too tired and old to go to a midnight movie, or that I needed to pee, or that the seats lean back and it kills my back.
I might of been focusing too much on stupid stuff left in (Garwp), added (Minerva being scared of Umbridge) or left out (hello, the screaming picture which while small added tension and emotional conflict to a flat start)....it seemed very flat at the beginning.
But I enjoyed it soooooo much more this time.
Ummmmm Lucius.
So view.
Enjoy Lucius in leather, Sirus in pimp velvets and lots 'o Snape.....
"We don't have many problems with our blacks."
I live in the South and even I can't believe this shit still happens.
Even in Bush's America.
Amazing.
Even in Bush's America.
Amazing.

What I Like Today
Today I like vintage shirts with cats on them.
Wearing bows.
With rhinestone eyes.
The cute is killing me.
It is made of all kinds of awesome.
Kim over at Fast Eddies Retro Rags is selling it on eBay.
She has tons of cool stuff right now.
~meow~
Saturday; Clean Dogs and New Vintage
The dogs (all 4 of them) are all hiding from me at the moment.
It was wash day.
I hate washing the dogs, but I love when it is warm enough out that I can hose them off on the deck and not have to put Fang (all 80 lbs) in the bathtub.
Plus, I get the deck nice and clean too.
Nico, one of the cats walked by and looked at me saying (yes she can talk with her eyes) "Bitch, you better not be thinking about washing me..." .....not in a million years.....
I'm also getting ready for the next load of vintage dresses and tops I'll be listing in the store this week.
Here is a fast preview for ya.
Got a nice little haul of pretty vintage cotton tops, a last gasp of summer for me since after this I'll begin listing fall and winter items.
A pink vintage shirtwaist dress and a really great 40's pink and gray day dress.
I could sell nothing but shirtwaist dresses and I would be a happy camper.
Pretty salmon vintage prom dress and a larger size cocktail dress.
I LOVE the striped dress, very cool and the middle dress in a snappy wiggle dress from Suzy Parette.
They should all be listed at Damn Good Vintage soon.

Vintage Shoes
For some reason vintage shoes just seem to be better made and more comfortable.I guess it has to do with the materials and attention to detail that is lost on today's third world manufacturing line.
~sigh~
I've got tons of vintage shoes listed at Damn Good Vintage, the ones above are early 60's Diors.
Here are just a few others:

Freecycle Retro Score
Ok.
Freecycle is a great idea.
Unfortunately people are involved.
Normally I only give away...I think I have gotten 3 things from Freecycle; printer ink, an ugly recliner that my hubby loves and today's score.
I'm a giver.
I throw stuff out on the drive and say "first comes, first served", which I can only do on the metro Little Rock list and not the local Saline County list since the county list won't let you just leave the stuff out because, get this:
" Curbside or "porch" post are not allowed on Freecycle. With the high price of gas these days, if more than one member heads that direction to pick up your item, the other is out more than just the item, they're out the gas that it took to get there. Then I get angry emails."
Do I come across as someone who cares?
I leave it out on the driveway because people some people are stupid and rude and if you make arrangements they don't show up and they don't call to cancel. And then after you have given it away they are upset that you did not wait for them to just "show up" someday.
There are also the folks who want to tell me how hard up they are and why I should save my crap for them.
Or the folks who have a problem finding you even with a map and call and call and call and call.
Don't care.
Just want it gone without much to much contact.
What? You say bitch like it is a bad thing.
I'm also not one of those folks who care what they will do with my old stuff after it leaves my house; sell it, burn it have wild monkey sex with...I.Do.Not.Care.
All that being said freecycle does come in handy when you are looking for a 50's or 60's record/radio cabinet for your living room and don't want to pay money.
So.Fucking.Happy.

Vintage Finds
It is the cocktail hour and my cran juice and vodka looks great in this vintage 60's tumblers I got while out poking around at thrift shops and antique malls yesterday. Love the martini outline....says "anything goes".
Very me.
I also got these two atomic teacups. I plan on collecting one of these sets, I really need new plates and all, just not sure which I like better....and which will survive the occasional dishwasher cycle.

30's Glamour
When I think of the 1930's I think of bias cut gowns and slinky pajama sets and cigarettes in long holders. This is one of the reasons Sunset Boulevard is a favorite movie, besides Gloria Swanson's sadly sweet batshit crazy turn as Norma Desmond, the clothes and lingerie that she wears from her days of fame really are spectacular.
The 2 vintage bias cut gowns, though not as fab as Norma Desmond's, above are listed over at Damn Good Vintage.
Now just yesterday a friend got a lot of lovely 30's vintage pajama sets along with this Munsingwear box.
Here is a close up of the quite glamorous gal in her slinky pajama set.
I love it.Love the Deco background, love the green and really love the red and black set.
I bet Norma would have worn it.
If you love the 30's you might want to watch Dorothea's Closet for the next week or so for some really amazing 1920's and 1930's (one set has the best red and black Scottie Dog button...squee!) vintage lingerie.

New at Damn Good Vintage
I love a good vintage shirtwaist dress.
They can be worn for many occasions and are easy to dress up or down. The shirtwaist has been part of the American woman's wardrobe since the 30's, with straight or full skirts, and I am glad to see they may be making another come back.
I also like black.
I wear a lot of black.
You NEVER go wrong picking black.
So this black shirtwaist dress makes me happy.
Nice skirt and a braid accent on the bodice.
This vintage organza dress is also new and I think it would make the perfect wedding dress for a casual wedding.
I also listed this fun Hawaiian top from Royal Surf.

New Blog and Today's Sale Finds
As if I don't have enough to do I have begun a vintage sewing and vintage patterns themed blog:
Sew Vintage Sewing
I think I'll mostly post "coming soon" vintage patterns I'm selling on Sew-Retro Vintage Patterns, cute patterns others are selling and vintage sewing stuff.
Today I could not resist the call of the local estate sales. No vintage clothes to be found, but I spent money on some barkcloth (to sell), a few patterns(to sell), a sewing box like grandma had (keeping...needs work), Stockings (to sell), a really cute sewing theme apron (can't decide if I am keeping it), vintage strawberry table cloth (keeping) and a girl scout paper doll set (not sure about it, the clothes are super cute) with some Jane Powell dresses thrown in.....
Here are some pics.
