<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">A feast for the eyes. Some of my favorite vintage circus and theatrical photos and posters, circa 1880-1950. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">With
Halloween just around the corner, skip the costume in a plastic bag and
go for vintage threads. Channel miss
tightrope and trapeze, Lion tamer, sideshow wonders, and circus dancers
styles.
Seek-out vintage fabric and test those sewing skills! Find the perfect
excuse to grow a handlebar, hipsters gents. Halloween costume
inspirations are abound. </span></span><br />

Restoring Chrome Mid-Century to its Finest<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I just love Chrome! And if your into the Mid-Century Modern aesthetic, you'll find that it was used everywhere from cars to kitchens and baths and even in clothing and accessories.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="http://images.photovisi.com/fd917363-e1fe-486c-8a10-a662f4429daawallpaper.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://images.photovisi.com/fd917363-e1fe-486c-8a10-a662f4429daawallpaper.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">More often than not, the chrome pieces I find are covered in rust. Here's a cheap, effect, and fun way to remove the rust and polish vintage chrome.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The cola & aluminum foil method - used on a freshly picked 1930s Sunbeam Model T-9 Toaster:</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="http://distilleryimage8.s3.amazonaws.com/bc8383a63d6a11e2965422000a9f18cc_7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://distilleryimage8.s3.amazonaws.com/bc8383a63d6a11e2965422000a9f18cc_7.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1. Wad up a larger piece of foil. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="http://distilleryimage7.s3.amazonaws.com/4e6ebbe63d6b11e298dc22000a1f9257_7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://distilleryimage7.s3.amazonaws.com/4e6ebbe63d6b11e298dc22000a1f9257_7.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2. Dip the aluminum in coke (water does the trick too) and rub the aluminum in a circular motion. A fine 'paste' will form. </span><br />

the gunk off, you can use a new piece of foil to
get
as much shine as you like. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Don't waste your time with a severely pitted pieces as the rust
has likely eaten down through the chrome to the bare metal. Smooth it
down as much as you can with steel wool
then use the aluminum foil method to remove as much rust as
possible.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The aluminum foil method also works pretty well on steel. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">How it works: Aluminum oxide is harder than steel, and the
microscopic grains of aluminum oxide produced during the cleaning
process creates a fine metal polishing compound
which, mixed with the coke you added, a mild acid, creates a paste that smoothes
and polishes the chrome surface. This gets rid of surface rust
very quickly and is a trick that's been used by
vintage bicycle and motorbike enthusiasts for years. Also tested and proven effective on Mythbusters. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">With the
weather getting warmer every day, it’s time to start channeling the tropics
into your wardrobe. Whether you’re throwing a Tiki Party, having a picnic at
the beach, or going out for cocktails, vintage garb with an equatorial feel is
sure to be king again this summer. This
season designers from Dior, Versace, Marc Jacobs, and Stella McCartney are
going bold with tropical patterns, colors, and shapes to capture the summery
island feel. </span></div>

I am not recommending that women start
donning the classic collared short-sleeved Hawaiian shirt, which is difficult
to wear unless you’re Elvis. Same goes
for the layers of pattern seen on the catwalk this season suitable only for the
editorial world. So how, you many ask,
does one realize this tricky trend with ease, evading the fresh-off-the-jet
tourist look? </div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">First and foremost
with any vintage or retro ensemble, fit is key. Whether you’re looking for a
piece to make you look like a bombshell or more of a Mod Barbie, finding a
flattering vintage or retro silhouette for your body type is not as difficult
as it seems. Tropical styles from the 1930’s, 1940’s, 1950’s and 1960’s rank
high on my list of tropical must-haves as the classic cuts that come from these
decades make it easy to find the perfect look for any body type as well as make
an eye-catching, graphic, and deliberate statement. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">On finding
the tropical vintage or retro piece for your body: For a curvy vixen, the
Sarong style dress is my hands-down favorite. This cut and Hawaiian dress
incarnation in itself first entered popular culture with Dorothy Lamour's films
in the 1930s. Often made of luscious rayons in the 1930’s and 1940’s and in
light and airy cottons in the 1950’s, the Sarong cuts as well as the full skirt
and nipped waist dress often came in strapless, halter, and spaghetti strap versions.
The Sarong and full-skirted tropical dresses are the perfect shape for
bombshell pinups as they accommodate a full bust with elastic backing and room
for full hips. For those looking to amp their curves, 1940’s tropical prints
dresses with pockets, 1950’s wiggle skirts, and dresses featuring mermaid hems
are sure to make traffic stop.<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> </i>If
you’ve got legs for miles, show them off with a fun short playsuit. Other classic tropical favorites are the Pake
Mu'u and Cheongsam, but be careful girls: these style dresses often run on the small
side. The Mod baby doll shapes from the 1960’s and 1970s’ can do wonders for
the long and lean among us.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Paying
attention to complimentary colors for your skin and hair color is a big factor
in making a vintage or retro piece shine for you. Pairing bold prints with
complementary colors is also essential. Be bold in classic Hawaiian floral,
atomic abstracts, Mexican novelty prints and make it your single statement
piece. One is all you need! Play with neutrals and complimentary single tones
to highlight and accent your statement piece. Pairing your bold piece with
something subtle and chic, from a simple vintage, retro, or repro piece is
always an easy means to looking classy. </span></div>

to spend your currency on a tangible holiday to the tropics rather than a
vintage collector’s piece is no obstacle to tropical fashion success. Look for tropical
styles from the late 1950’s into the 1980’s, sure to be abound this season in
vintage stores around the globe. Pay particular attention to those that mimic the
classic tropical silhouettes discussed above. Support one of the many etsy
vintage style garment makers or craft your own piece with a vintage tropical
print fabric and pattern. </span></div>

<div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">
When the United States entered World War II, unprecedented numbers of
women entered the ranks of factory workers, helping American industry
meet the wartime production demands for planes, tanks, ships, and
weapons, as well as filling non war related positions. It was here that the most famous
image of female patriotism in World War II emerged, Rosie the Riveter.<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"></span> In 1944, 37 percent of all adult women were employed and comprised 35.4
percent of the civilian labor force. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">
Rosie the Riveters were largely responsible for
keeping the American economy moving forward, and often, these women did it with style. Working male-dominated jobs, many with a labor component, required that many working women don pants, denim, hats, and boots for the first time. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">
Many women's work wear outfits consisted of altered civilian clothing. Most women found a way to incorporate their personal, often feminine identity into their work-wear. Some women wore latest hair style, accessory, and often heels. Others preferred to adopt the styles of their male counterparts or sometimes wearing their husbands clothing. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">
These working women changed the norms of fashion forever. The masqulization of feminine styles and feminize-ation of traditional male clothing created classics that can be found in every woman's wardrobe today. For the first time, women working in factories and doing other forms of "men's work" wore trousers when the work demanded it. Most importantly, these working women shifted the trajectory of women into the workforce forever. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">
While skilled female workers made
an average weekly wage of $31.21, skilled male workers earned $54.65
weekly. Regardless of obvious wage divide, between 1943 and 1945 polls
indicated that 61 to 85 percent of women workers wanted to keep their
jobs after the war (see Hartmann, <i>The Home Front and Beyond: American Women in the 1940s</i>, 1982). </div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>post-war</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">After the war, the American woman was ready for a change. In 1947, Dior introduced the </span><span style="font-size: small;">New
Look</span><span style="font-size: small;">, featuring longer hem lengths and fuller skirts. Woman</span><span style="font-size: small;">'</span><span style="font-size: small;">s
fashion shifted to a soft, feminine and romantic image.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Many varieties of peplums were in vogue: butterfly, bustle
and gathered peplums were just a few. Ruffles found their way to skirt hems,
necklines and waists. Gored, gathered and A-line skirts were topped with soft,
feminine blouses. Blouses donned bows at the center-front neckline and might
sport full or puffy sleeves. Collars were cut generously full, in peter pan and
traditional pointed shirt-collar designs. Lace also accentuated blouses around
the neckline.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">An emporium of vintage it was indeed! While the <a href="http://www.vintageglamporium.com/vintage/Welcome.html" target="_blank">Vintage Glamporium</a> was dominated by amazing designer fashions </span><span style="font-size: small;">from the 1960's-1980's, </span><span style="font-size: small;">from shops like <a href="http://feathersboutiquevintage.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Feathers</a> and <a href="http://www.lacedwithromance.com/" target="_blank">Laced with Romance Vintage</a>, spectacular finds from the 1900's through the 1950's were the real highlight for me. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I'll
let you in on a great secret...amazing vintage can be found in Texas! But where to look for it? I always let history be my guide. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The
wealth of vintage designer garb at the glamporium relates directly to the history of
"big OIL money" in Texas. Follow the growth of
big oil in Texas and it will lead you to amazing designer goods.
The big money folks flocked to Dallas and Houston. </span><span style="font-size: small;">And with this gusher of money came grand parties and balls, and fabulous garments to feed the growing elite.</span><span style="font-size: small;">
Take a looks at another glamporium headliner, <a href="http://www.vintagemartini.com/" target="_blank">Vintage Martini</a>. Just on
the outskirts of Dallas, this lovely duo finds some of the best vintage
in the country. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">What I really love are the early quality piece reflective of the roots of the "oil boom" starting in 1900 and catching speed in the 1940's and 1950's.

Just why Halloween has become the favorite holiday for juvenile men is no big secret...no one wears this little clothing for any other holiday. </span><br />

</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;">Risqué costumes go back nearly 100 years. Features of the many contemporary indecent Halloween costumes have roots in history - shortened hem lines, for instance, date first to the mid-1920. Yet the 'sexy' most women are channeling these years are not that of the classic yesteryear.</span><br />

First choose a theme and period of vintage that best fit your body type.
