music video features me [wearing vintage!]
I don’t know if I’ve mentioned here that my boyfriend is a musician; he plays bass guitar, guitar, drums, and sings.  He also produces and mixes music.  Recently, he did a cover of a Michael Jackson song, “Remember the Time”, and made a music video with the help of a friend of ours studying film.  I’d like to post it here (despite the aspect ratio being a little less than flattering) because 1) It’s an awesome video and you should watch it, and 2)I’m wearing previously-unseen-here vintage in it!

Vintage Clip Monday
Hi all!  Unfortunately, in the mayhem and mess of moving, the scanner isn’t set up yet, so no Vintage Mag Monday this week (but keep an eye out for a Vintage Mag Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday…), but there is a consolation prize: I’m throwing a charming, entertaining vintage video clip into this post to keep you entertained.

I’ve been looking for one for ages, and while the outside is a little beaten up, the inside is in great shape.

Vintage Mag Monday #3 features 40s hats!
For your viewing pleasure, from Glamour magazine, January 1942, (I promise, different magazine next time!) a double feature: First, several gorgeous hats: I love the one on the bottom left of the second page, the swirly one.  I miss the days of decorative hats!

Vintage Finds in Wisconsin
When I went on my whitewater rafting/camping trip Labor Day weekend, I wasn’t really expecting to find any vintage.  Happily enough, that assumption turned out to be false.   It so happened that while we were on our way from Chicago to the Wisconsin/Michigan border for a 3pm rafting trip, we realized we had somehow ended up 20 minutes away from the rafting place but with about 2 hours to spare.  At this point, while we were wondering what to do with ourselves and considering a pre-raft hike, we passed a giant, wooden ice-cream cone on the road and the decision was made for us.  I’m not one to resist giant, wooden ice-cream cones.  As we pulled into the parkin
