It's the story of canadian womans working in a bomb manufactury starting 1941.

We follow them during their housewife life or love stories, everyday life, during their fights for more rights and we see a piece of what was life during the WWII.

I found the actors great, the story follows the…

Ohhh Lulu is a brand that has been on my radar for quite some time.  Unfortunately for me, I was under the impression that Sarah’s wonderful underthings wouldn’t work for my full bust.  That was until I saw some pictures on her site that clearly featured a larger chested woman.  Curious I contacted Sara and asked if she could make a set in my size.  Sarah agreed under the condition that she could not offer her regular fit guarantee since she has never made…

For me, it all starts with the movie White Christmas.

My Post War Up Do

It's only fitting that I chose to style my hair in a popular 1940's hairdo widely known as "victory rolls".  The hairstyle got it's name post WWII and after my own hair battles, victory it is!!

Long time, no post! 

Gosh, I've been such a lurker these past few months - but I've never really felt that I've had something to contribute. Well, I've got news for you!

My fiance and I finally have our own apartment, and I've supplied myself with a nice little makeup battle station in our bathroom. 

I've taken the plunge and invested in a vamp dress! I bought it off eBay, and from what I can tell, it's an older version, but I absolutely LOVE…

Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekend is just around the corner and it seems that I always have the same problem every year, looking for the perfect comfortable shoes for the occasion. If you're going this year you'll find out you spend a lot of time on your feet whether its shopping, standing front and center of a stage watching your favorite band (La Cholita and The Creeps are performing 9:30…

  Being a vintage gal is a pretty demanding kind of thing. Curling and styling your hair, the anything-but-natural makeup, hunting out rare vintage styles and sometimes wearing clothes that are 80 years old, not to mention the ordeals of garters, stockings, high heels, corsets, jewelery, hats – there’s a lot involved!

Now imagine, that on top of all that, you weren’t only going to style your hair, do your makeup, and wear uber-feminine vintage style clothing, but you were going to do…
