1) WHAT ITEM DO YOU CURRENTLY HAVE FOR SALE THAT COULD HAVE BEEN WORN IN A MOVIE?

Film Noir is one of my addictions, besides vintage clothing, of course, so this incredible 30s BLACK LACE DRESS!










2) WHICH MOVIE STAR DO YOU SEE WEARING THE ITEM?

oooh! the fabulous Louise Brooks, of course!



& IN WHAT MOVIE?

Pandora's Box



3) WHAT MOVIE STAR QUALITIES DOES YOUR ITEM HAVE TO MAKE IT PERFECT FOR YOUR STARLET?

This dress has that old black magic, romatic breath-taking in a net of lace, it is cut on the bias so it falls on the feminine form with grace. The lace is gathered in a bustle effect at the back worthy of a red carpet appearance.

1. What is your favorite piece of spring vintage wear in your inventory?

My pick for spring is this sweet green polka dot maxi dress from the 70s, appropriate for St Patty's Day as well.

2. Why is it your favorite?

Because it is ultra feminine. Maxis are so versatile, they go from day to night with ease and you dont have to worry about shaving your legs :)

3. What is your favorite spring flower?

Lilly of the Valley, it is also the official flower of my birthday in May.

The bulbs in the garden began sprouting the end of last month.

Life of a Jersey Girl

My models

My latest find is in her 50s and still looking great. She has glass eyes and beautiful thick long lashes.






She has a glass stand just like my other vintage 1/3 girl from the 60's by the same maker; Greneker. Some of her fingers need repairing, I will be following Holly's guide to fix my mannequin:


Fix Your Mannequin with BONDO Plastic Surgery

Painting a Vintage Mannequin

I passed one of my mannequins to a young single mom just as someone helped me when I was starting out.

This was my 60's 1/3 Greneker girl






I love her face, she belonged to my friend Robin who studied design in NY and worked as an apprentice for designer Richard Tyler in Hollywood for a time.

I met Robin when we both first moved to Florida, she was my co-worker's roommate, we had similar tastes, and became best friends, she was my shopping buddy we became inseparable, the cute neighborhood where she had purchased her home in Gulfport Florida sadly began a slow decline, there had been some break-ins and my friend lived alone, she decided it was best to sell and move back to Ohio. I miss her terribly. The mannequin sat in her home for many years, when she moved back to Ohio she asked me if I wanted to adopt the mannequin, it has been with me for about 15 years, it was my muse when I began selling on ebay.

My models don't complain that its cold/hot, not feeling well, tired, hungry or demand an hourly wage.
