    I just got home from watching Malcolm X, which has beautiful period costumes (40s-60s) to this! As a woman who loves and collects vintage, this is like a night in heaven for me!

    I'm so proud of my Grandma!


    She and her sister were forewomen at the Leslie Fay factories on 7th Avenue right up through the 70s when they retired.


    Those women were hardcore. They would wake up before everybody, make breakfast and lunches for the whole house, clean the house, make the beds, get everybody off to work and school, then they'd go to work. After work, they'd make dinner, clean up, do the random other housework, washing, ironing, look after the kids and husbands, etc etc


    My grandma's salary provided for my dad and uncle's private school and for 'pocket money' for herself. Grandma saved her pocket money and bought a house in the country all on her own. Seriously. Go grandma!

    Why does it always seem that everything was better in the 60s?

    My sister has decided that my new haircut makes me look like I'm from the 60s. She says I should pursue this style as inspiration.


    It's not a bad idea at all.

    My first job in NYC was working at a costume/puppet shop off of 7th. I was told on my first day to watch the guys with garment racks on the street: they will run anyone over. I made costumes for the Macy's Parade!


    Also, I think is Kennedy on a horse.

    Anything and everything that has to do with 60s fashion always reminds me of the movie "Funny Face" with Audrey Hepburn is a model. It's really an underrated movie...maybe not epically classic or brilliant, but a fun and thoughtless way to spend two hours and yet still refrain from ingesting crap tv.

    Dammit I have got to get in my heada that Jezebel commenter Kruschev is NOT a former world leader.

    On second glance - and full reading - I really, really need an organza hood so I stop getting mascara on white shirts when I put them on too quickly. If only there was something to make it easier to pull on a hoodie when you already have your hair up in a messy bun.
