eVintage BLOG TAG WEDNESDAY!~Slip of a Thing~

I've been tagged by SYDNEY'S VINTAGE FASHION RUNWAY for the eVINTAGE SOCIETY Wednesday Blog Tag.

1) Show us your favorite vintage slip in your inventory ....

I've got several new vintage slips listed and more to come, but for something different I'm showing this cool green half slip with ruffled pleated chiffon hemline in gradient shades....

2) Lace trim or chiffon trim? Whats your favorite?

Chiffon....something about the way sheer vintage chiffon creates an ethereal, dreamy glow against the skin.....sultry!

3)Colors or neutrals, whats your preference?

Color! I love unusual colors in slips...like the green above, or a lavender one I just listed.

4) Favorite label in vintage lingerie? (Vintage Vanity Fair, Vassarette, Movie Star, Barbizon....)

While Vanity Fair is always quality, I love the label "Movie Star" just for how glamorous it sounds! I've also had a slip by "Miss Flashee" and loved that one too.

5) Full slip or half?

Full. The half slip has its usefulness but a full slip makes you pretty top to bottom!

6)Slips worn as dresses in public…..yea or nay?
Love them as dresses.....out on the town with a little cardigan (layered of course for modesty over a nude slip!), the brightly colored and funky detailed slips look every bit just as fab as any new cocktail dress in a department store!

MARLENE DIETRICH, In The Round

..........I'm in love. Not exactly with MARLENE DIETRICH, though she was an amazing beauty and rumor has it she showed up once to FRANK SINATRA'S place whilst he was in the middle of a poker game and merely looked at him, he left the table to join her in the boudoir, and then she left. That's Rat Pack era hot. Digression....I haz it. Anyway......got my lamp today, and I am smitten. Behold.

Click to get to Paul's store on ETSY, and see his other creations! It heats up and SPINS! Marlene, in lingerie, spinning through glorious 20s & 30s designer paperdoll ensembles.

This lamp brings together the sentimental happiness of my childhood spent watching spinner Christmas tree ornaments on my Grandmother's Christmas tree, as seen here (and going for some big bucks on eBay, no less)...

and my love of glamorous chicks/vintage apparel.

Marlene! Paperdolls! Vintage dresses! The glamour of smoking! Heat-up spinner dealies! Atomic lighting! I'm spent from the gid. Check out Paul's other lighting creations and enjoy. And dig some Marlene while you're at it.
