Heads up Wisconsin! Vintage Fashions Exhibit
Although I doubt I would have chosen "BLING!" as a name for an antique & vintage clothing exhibit I believe it would be well worth the visit.
An exhibiton of dresses & more from 1869-1969
The exhibition includes items from the estate of Jessie Jack Hooper who ran for Senate in 1922.
Link to information about Jessie Jack Hooper's platform.
Women's suffrage in the United States

PAN AM
Being a huge fan of just about everything 60's fashions, music, architecture, automobiles, decor...I was intantly hooked when I began watching Mad Men. Memories of my chic mom & dapper dad, growing up in NYC. Unfortunately, as the characters of the series, my parents separated around the same age Sally Draper was when Don and Betty did. I even had a little baby brother. I could somewhat identify with the character.
I was so disspointed to read, as were thousands of other fans, that there were problems with production and news that the show may not return to AMC until 2012.
Now there is a new show coming Sept 25th starring Christina Ricci on ABC set around the same decade named PAN AM, the elite airline that set the standard for the industry in the early 60s.
I was lucky to have been one of those people who flew PAN AM as a little girl. I was in awe of the stewardesses, they seemed so glamorous just like movie stars! That's what I wanted to be!
Through the years I have always researched Pan Am collectibles on the internet. I wonder if after the show begins and it grows in popularity it will be even harder to find original vintage PAN AM memorabilia.
Magazine ads, ashtrays, wings...even cocktail napkins are sprouting on auction websites these days more so now than ever.

Pan Am has been listed as #6 Most anticipated tv show of 2011
I hope it is as juicy and entertaining as Mad Men.

Fashions at MTV's 2011 VMA's
Kudos to Beiber for wearing vintage YSL.
Loved Adele's Barbara Tfank dress.
I think Katie Holmes looked pretty cute although I think the OP of the Chicology article was dead on when she asked "What is she doing at the VMA's?"
Adele
Justin Beiber
I am not a prude but am I the only who thinks a patch of fur, fringes...etc...does not belong at crotch level on any garment?
Kelly Rowland
