Fascinating article! As a vintage clothing dealer, I’ve sold plenty of Lillys (from the real deal days). I wondered when this whole thing came about how many people would bother to hunt down actual 1960s Lillys. And I can only imagine that the Target versions will be lower quality. The prints are fun, the vibe they…

Things like this happen all the time in the little town I grew up in (and fled from immediately after graduating) in Iowa. I’m not sure what has happened to stunt the maturity levels of so many humans at what seems to top out around 15, but these people seem unable to let go of being a teenager. They’re either at bars…

Her Instagram is fantastic! Girl has exquisite taste.

Love this look! My friend, lover of vintage and client Laura McLaws Helms wrote the book mentioned above and did a fantastic job with it! I’m pretty sure a caftan and casserole party is imminent in my yard...

So....vote for who, then?

“Iowa” problem? Only with conservatives, and any Dem would have the same. Liberals here, Progressives even more so, may not be enthused right now but the alternative is terrifying. She’ll be fine.

As an Iowan, I was impressed that this happened at all...that said, what I really wish is that we could just leave religion out of politics altogether. But with the influx of GOP and the primaries coming, it will only get worse. Everybody's going to be gunning for the Jeebus vote. They're already running anti-Rand ads…

Bizarre, yes. Completely normal for Rand/Ron Paul devotees.

Sorry, I'm in Des Moines, IA! But I do have a website!

Very cool! I got started in vintage by collecting vintage slips (and wearing them in the riot grrl fashion in the 90s), then for extra cash starting selling them off. That started my vintage biz! I agree on quality and craftsmanship, the difference is astounding. I recently sold a 1950s Pierre Balmain wool dress and…

Indeed!! Believe me, in my vintage shop I get that stuff ALL the time. 20s is all flappers, 30s is Jean Harlow, 40s is either Rosie the Riveter or Vargas pin up, 50s Marilyn or more pin up, 60s mod and 70s hippie. Oh, yep, 80s....Madonna. Each of those decades had a pretty wide range of looks but people tend to get…

That sounds fantastic! I just got a pastel rainbow crinnie, love it.

They make fake lashes that have this effect, but you can do it yourself as well. http://www.cosmeticsandskin.com/bcb/eyelash-be…

Oh, you mean crinolines!! Well, a lot of my clients wear them and don't care who thinks what! The current "skater dress" trend sort of picks up on that, but shorter and with a higher waist. And yeah, I wish my sister and I were more like Roseanne and Jackie. But I'm more like Roseanne and she's more like Nancy Spungen.

Haha! I love Jackie chic, hope that's what you're rocking.

Me too. I've been digging but can't find any more!

I would love that!

I found this, but I don't see how it would "shape" the cupid's bow. "1920s cupid's bow lipstick: For the perfect Cupid's Bow, cosmetic icon Helena Rubenstein released a "self-shaping lipstick that forms a perfect supid's bow as you apply it." This self-shaping lipstick usually came in red and was sometimes…

Her artist clearly needed this! "Max Factor takes measurements of the actress Marjorie Reynolds' head and face with his 'Beauty Micrometer,' a device he developed to aid makeup artists, 1934. (Keystone-France/Getty Images)"

I thought the same thing. I'd at least like to see that!
