Lets talk halters!
1)Show us your favorite halter dress or top in your inventory (if you don’t have one, show us one another eVintage member has!)
Here's one I made ! it's on etsy. the long straps go around the neck and come around and tie

2)Marilyn rocked the halter bodice back in the 50s, but it came back big in the 70s…..which is your favorite era for the halter?
Well what's not to love about Marilyn...but in the 70s I was young and good looking...and wore this! it's also on etsy....

3)Bare backs are vulnerable, what’s your suggestion for protecting skin from the sun?
I'm gonna try some of that new Spray On sunscreen.....and lucky me, I have a husband that will be pressed into service...but those who go stagette, I suggest shade, a tall cool drink and shine when the patio lights come on.....


4)Halter as top or dress, whats your preference?
I like tops and dresses.....

5)A bra can be a challenge…..best suggestion for support?

I only wear a halter if it has a bra inside...of some sort. boobs are nice, but the girls must stand up and not slump....not an attractive look !

And on we go to Vintage Bulletin . Mmmm, I can't wait for next week's goodies !! on eVintage blog go-round!

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

*************************
this rather explains it> We won't be like alan's little Alandom......we are unorganized and pay little attention to convention......
we have decades of antique/funky stuff/party giving experience.....and boy, it feels good to be going back home again.....the 2 main partners have all been downtown for years but were on hiatus.......
As we get our act together more next week I'll just keep blogging and announcing what the Hay is going on......
we're making it up as it goes along!

Some Men

I bought a big box of well-worn jeans.....lots of wear.....lots of work had to be accomplished to get them in this condition......
and I have a few pairs of polyester slacks for your granpa moments.....
Tons of T shirts......
And here's a few pics of some shirts....
I've only got 2 pair of cons left in size 12...pink No Sweat's in a 10...

Mod Mod Mod 60s Desk

So turquoise and white...so thinking of Cubes and Mondrian..
and only a mere 35. bucks......

I need to find a chair now.....but you get the idea.....

The Last Days Chronicles

So I am asked why aren't I open more.........Because no one shows up except Friday or Saturday......
I've sat here all day ...... all by myself !
Sadly, I'm closing.....not for lack of business but for lack of Room !!
Weird huh?
I don't have enough room for all my stock.....well, I don't need to display all my stock.....
Just most of it !
You would not believe what landlords want for rent !!!
So, I'm scaling my business back to internet only.
That's what happens when landlords think they're in A Big City....
Tacoma isn't ......not yet.
And the rents landlords want for crappy marginal space is INSANE !!
They have this crackhead idea that just because The Glass Museum is in Tacoma...
And because SOMEDAY the LeMay Museum will come.........
That justifies the HUGE rent jump in the last 2 years.
So Tacoma Small Business will suffer.
And now you know why new small businesses are rare....
In areas you want to shop in, in areas you will shop in.....that is.......
That's why you get corporate....and landlords are content to be empty for years........you've seen it.......you've driven by it.....
There's no way you'd come to the areas where the rent is affordable.....


If I was selling Booze, Beer....or Food......I'd be rich.....
Oh wait......I did sell Beer And Food......
well, root beer and Food.
I started STEILACOOM FORGE DELI
People will Go ANYWHERE to get drunk....and eat !!
But I'll keep looking around town.....
So Bye Bye!!

New old stuff .....

Rat Pack !
1) Show your favorite Rat Pack look in your inventory (early 60s suit, fedora, tie, cufflinks, loop collar shirt…..)

I can't keep anything in my hands that's Rat Pack..it sells immediately..here's a sharkskin suit...that sold for a pretty penny or 2.

tho I'm not a big Frankie Fan, I do love "That's Life!" it is the story of my life...more down than up....but I pick myself up and get back in the race.....



3) Favorite Rat Pack member? (Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Joey Bishop, Sammy Davis Jr. or Peter Lawford)

Joey Bishop.....most ignored.....most underated
and most unknown....Angie Dickinson.....


4) Best Sinatra “era”? (40s young & skinny, 50s swingin’ crooner or 60s Rat Pack suave?)

40s young and skinny...he looks like the "rat" he later became !!

5) Favorite Sinatra wife? (Nancy, Ava Gardner, Mia Farrow or Barbara)

Mia Farrow.....way to have a Mid Life Crisis !

6) Been to Vegas, how many times and best Vegas story (keep it clean!)
