Blog Lovin....

I had just currently got home from a wonderful lunch date with my beau, when I turned on the tv. Another film noir movie was on TCM which fits just perfectly for the Halloween season. I noticed that Jeanne Crain was in it and I thought to myself, I know of someone who looks like her!


Jeanne Crain

So, with that I thought it was time to show some blog lovin to a lady that could use some recognition. Her name is Ashley and you can find her at miss1940sdarling.blogspot.com. She's a wonderful lady with amazing vintage style and taste! So, please go show her blog some love!

Update...

Wow, I haven't realized how long it has been since I last posted anything and I though you all deserved alittle something from me even if it is really just nothing. But since I have been feeling under the weather, this gives me plenty of time to chat with all of you.

If you haven't heard me mention this before, I have been planning on moving as far as possible from Pa. Well, several months ago I put my house up for sale and began planning on my move to Arizona. I haden't gotten anything positive from it so I finally listed it with a realator. I've had serveral prospects with hopes of someone finally buying my house. Within all this time, my beau and I have broken up and have since gotten back together. This time, he came to me with moving to San Diego, Cali instead.

So, I am happy to say we've been planning on buying a place together and making Cali our offical home!

Goodbye for now...

Pinup and Glamour all rolled into one...

I am so very happy to anounce that I had my first photo shoot in 2 years about a month ago. But not in any way shape or form my very first ever. In all actuality it is only my third with the very well known Viva Van Story! If you've been living under a rock for the past couple of years, she is the pinup photographer to go to, that has worked with all the big names in the pinup industry such as Sabina Kelly and Masuimi Max. The very woman that has since published her very own book.

It all started several years ago, when a beau of mine had decided he wanted some perfessional pinup pictures of myself for a birthday present. I, of course, obliged! Sadly, many years later, we are no longer together but none the less, he gave me the push I needed to do what I love.

So, here we are present day...

And the book you should go buy!

Playing catch -up...

I know I've been incredibly busy lately with all the wonderful vintage adventures I've been having this summer. But with summer slowly coming to an end and with August coming up rapidly, I wanted to start sharing some of these adventures with all of you.



Today we're going to to start with the 20th Annual World War II Weekend that goes on every year in Reading, Pa. This year, all the magic happened on June 4,5,and 6th at the Mid Atlantic Air Museum. This year had to have been the biggest and most amazing one I have experienced!



During my time there I got to see all the wonderful aircrafts, experience a Live 1940's radio show, the 1940's fashion show, flying demonstrations, swing dance, and buy some outstanding vintage items.



Unfortunatly, my pictures are lacking! When I got there, I realized I had left my camera at my house...so my iphone camera had to do!


Gas Station!


Our Camp!


The Nazi Camp!



Yes, my hair was 2-tone!

It's Summer...

An when it comes to summer, it means beach time! All the fun in the sun...palm trees! Well, maybe not palm trees unless you're lucky enought to travel somewhere that has those. But for most of us that just travel to the local beaches, it's about the sand between our toes.



When it comes to great beaches, it also means bathingsuits! What suit should I bring?..etc.



Well, I have put together a great bathingsuit and accessories to keep you inspired for the summer. (psst!) They are also currently available for purchase!!

My Arizona Vacation!!

Ok, so now that I have totally slacked on actually writing this post. I've finally decided to give into it and just write it. Having not been myself lately, being non-vintage, I've just been avoiding this. I'm not sure what has gotten into me, but for some reason I've just been feeling a lack of inspiration vintagely.

Over Arizona!

Anyways...my vacation was wonderful! It was everything I needed, which was complete r&r from my daily life. Now being back home, I can't help but miss the place and long for the time to be back there! But I think that is something we all go through after such a great vacation.


The hotel!

Fish pond in the hotel!(the turtle is in the red circle)

While I was there, I stayed at the Embassy Suits in Pheonix. They were amazing, like nothing I have ever seen. When you first walk up to it, you see beautiful palm trees and all kinds of tropical goodness. Then you walk into the actualy hotel, and it's like stepping into another world. The lobby was normal with the front desk and everything, but then you notice that there is a pond with fish and turtles through the whole thing. And, you have to walk over mini bridges to get to different areas. They also had complimentary breakfast every moring from 6am to 9am. Which was also amazing simply because the one lady made home made omelettes.

My most memorable highlight of my vacation, was our trip to Frank Llyod Wright's Taliesin West which as designed 1937 to 1959. It was the house that was created after the famous Falling Water that is actually located here in Pa.
