Dont let the external blind you to the internal.

She could be very modern progressive liberal.

Dont judge a book by its cover. Especially a female book.

Well I’m 76 and I think she’s beautiful! Reminds me of my beautiful Aunt Phoebe who was for a short time a Powers Model.

Because she’s married?

>“Vintage” <> “Goodwill”

Back in the 90s we used to drive to from So Cal to the Goodwill/SA in Phoenix because the snowbirds would pass away and leave unbelievable vintage clothes. Untouched 30-40 year old Levis, brand spanking new Nikes from the 70s, tailored suit jackets and wacky neckties.

We’d buy the stuff for a couple of bucks each and then resell them at vintage stores in So Cal for $10-40.

Used clothing is cheap.

Retro clothing is out of sight expensive.

Women were so feminine then. I think women’s fashion in the 40’s was the best. I feel like I was born into the wrong generation. I guess I’m a transgenerational man.🙄

As for simpler times, hows your ice box ? About time to dig a new hole for your outhouse yet ? There were no women realtors in the years around WWII.

Refrigerators were around, indoor plumbing had been around even longer and yes, there were.

Watch agatha christie’s Hercule Poirot for the most beautiful vintage fashion ever! A delight for the eye. Heck in the 80s and 90s we had beautiful hand made suits.

Absolutely love the look. $10,000 on a hobby over time is not outrageous for some people. I hope she is enjoying herself as much as that lovely smile suggests.

Spent a lot more than 10k on my hobby farming that’s for sure. But I will get some back at the sale

When my dad died we found a picture of my grandparents from the roaring ‘20’s. She was wearing some sort of mink thing called a Stoll or something like that.

He had a very natty suit on.

My dad still had the mink which I now have.

I’m all for it. I love that era (although I would look, and do look, laughable in dresses — not to say I don’t dress well. I do not have what you’d call a feminine shape.)

Way back when I lived in London, I used to go to the Imperial War Museum — and they had an amazing display on 40s fashions. The Dior New look was so beautiful.

I am all for a return to nicer clothing. Men used to wear suits — I love that.

She is hot, but I bet she isn’t a complete throwback. I’ll bet she has an iPhone in her 1940’s purse
