BLOG TAG

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

1) Show your favorite Rat Pack look in your inventory (early 60s suit, fedora, tie, cufflinks, loop collar shirt…..)

I looooove this fantastic plaid 60s dinner jacket! Has a sort of Jerry Lee meets Rat Pack vibe....

2) Favorite Sinatra song?

Thats a pretty tough one. I love "Violets for Your Furs", "Wait til You See Her"....his version of "Bewitched" is fantastic as well. I can't pick just one!!

3) Favorite Rat Pack member? (Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Joey Bishop, Sammy Davis Jr. or Peter Lawford)

Frank wins! But Dean's a close second.

4) Best Sinatra “era”? (40s young & skinny, 50s swingin’ crooner or 60s Rat Pack suave?)

I love how cool he became but I ADORE him as a young, skinny kid from Hoboken with that surprisingly deep baritone coming from such a little scrappy looking guy!

5) Favorite Sinatra wife? (Nancy, Ava Gardner, Mia Farrow or Barbara)


Nancy. She inspired him to become who he became (though my daughter is named after the beautiful and glamorous Ava Gardner!).

6) Been to Vegas, how many times and best Vegas story (keep it clean!)

I did go to the rockabilly weekender one year, Viva Las Vegas.....yeah. I went to it. Thats all I can say. ;?

Wednesday Blog Tag....I'm It! 60s Mod or Mad Men?

Wednesday blog tag questions as posed by the eVINTAGE SOCIETY......I've been tagged by SYDNEY'S VINTAGE FASHION RUNWAY!....

MOD OR MAD MEN?

Mad Men.......early 60s sex kitten in a wiggle dress anytime over big eyed waifs!

FAVE PIECE IN YOUR INVENTORY FITTING THE BILL?

Superb turquoise silk chiffon 60s cocktail dress on the website....

ICONIC EARLY 60s STARLET?
Liz Taylor. While gorgeous in the 50s she really came into her womanhood in the 60s, a little more jaded, a lot more attitude!

LATE 60’s?
Edie Sedgewick.

SINATRA OR THE SWINGIN’ 60s SCENE?
Sinatra. I'd have killed to hang out with the Rat Pack!

New Year's Chic....the MacLaine Look

..................Dressing for New Year's Eve is a very different event than dressing for previous holiday soirees. Christmas parties are often family oriented, subdued and elegant. Dressing for New Year's gives you the opportunity to add a little sass to your party wear! Cocktails or no, the cocktail dress is THE perfect look for New Year's Eve, and no one worked the cocktail dress better than SHIRLEY MACLAINE. No, not known as a classic beauty or a Marilyn-esque bombshell, Shirley had (has) a pretty face and a lithe body, able to just fill out those fitted silk & sequined knee length dresses that epitomize early 60's Rat Pack era glam.

Appropos, no less, as Shirley had a superb role in the film OCEANS 11 along side her pallys in the Rat Pack. The film is about a heist to take place in Vegas casinos on New Year's Eve, and MacLaine's flamboyant personality is perfect for showing off this turquoise sparkler and over the top fur wrap....

Something similar and in every way perfect for New Year's at Dorothea's Closet Vintage on eBay.....

You may not be hanging with the Rat Pack (and if you're sad about that, I'm with you!), but you can look as sassy and sexy as Miss MacLaine for New Year's in a vintage cocktail dress!

Bottoms up!~ Ang
