Hand me the popcorn…Show me the clothes.

October 15, 2010 by Auntie Kate of Too Good to be Threw

I love old movies. I don’t care if the plots are predicable or the film grainy.Ah, the bias cut, the silks and rayons, the glamor!

I watch old movies for the clothes. Consider it research for your consignment or resale shop. (Maybe you can expense the cable bill?)

Doing fashion research for your consignment shop? You'll need fuel.If you, like me, cannot get enough of Hollywood’s (past) glamor, here’s a blog you’ll adore…much less caloric than that butter-drenched popcorn.

 

See retroplanet.com for all sorts of wonderful goodies. That’s where Mr. Popcorn came from.

    I agree! I love the old Hollywood Glamour clothes. That is why I opened me store. It is a marriage between current high end clothing and vintage high end clothing, hats, gloves, purses and accessories.
    They sure knew how to dress then hmmmm…..
    Loved this years conference!
