A real estate agent has revealed how she's amassed a $10,000 vintage clothes collection - because she's obsessed with living like she's in the 1940s.
Gwendolyn Erin Patterson, 25, from Dallas, Texas, says she's so fixated with wearing wartime fashion that she now refuses to leave her house unless she's sporting glamorous attire from the Second World War era.

No kidding. Fortunately, immigrants are propping up our country. FReepers may not agree with me but we are going to need even more immigrants with the Baby Boomers generation aging.
It would be nice if our birth rate is higher but every nation in the West and East Asia are having this problem. Israel is the lone exception because they are the "chosen people".
Probably due to believing Dr. Benjamin Spock.
Peggy carter look, Captain America’s girlfriend!
Very tasteful. Being a reenactor can be a way to make a living, if one is thrifty, or just pick up a little extra gelt while doing what you love. There are always advertising campaigns, historic commemorative events, etc., that want people who look authentic.
P.s., the 08-19 sticker on the truck window is not authentic.
But can she do the Boogie Woogie?
Lucille Ball was a classic beauty with a wonderful, dancer’s figure. Her career as a comedienne (also very classic) underplayed how lovely she was.
I’m still going with Miss Kitty on ‘Gunsmoke’. Now THERE was some fashion.
My kinda Gal!
Yup,
You got a point.
She looks great! Very sporty, feminine, sexy but modest.
Interesting,
Thanks!
Lol, if I were single.....
I love the things my wife wears, smoking hot
I think that’s sweet. Clothes back then were really classy!
Geez man, can’t you just enjoy the look? I don’t care if she’s a commie..... she looks great.
Nom nom...
I respectfully disagree. The Greatest Generation raised us right. As Baby Boomers, we pushed the envelope, we wanted more and more, and we wanted it NOW. We took advantage of our parents generosity without really learning the lessons they learned growing up and living through the Great Depression, and going off to war.
How could we really understand? We didn’t live through the hardships that they did.
They didn’t run the country off the tracks. We did, with lots of help from the commies who were just waiting.

Hard men make soft times.
Soft times make soft men”
So it is said.
Beautiful, stylish and classy women back in our mom’s day.
Yes they were. Nice story.
