This year for my 39th it was <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/503556406/1950s-style-cigarette-pants-true-vintage?ref=shop_home_active_2">Piplotex's cigarette pants </a>in gold lame. </span><div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I figured I should celebrate the beginning of my last year in my 30s with something a bit wild and outside my comfort zone, and gold lame pants are definitely perfect for that!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">These pant's are just amazing, I adore them. They are cut just like the 1950's originals with a high waist and slim cropped legs. They look like they came straight out of a late 1950s Frederick's of Hollywood catalog</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">except they are much better. Piplotex sells the in a range of sizes but they will also custom make them to your figure. Since I'm short that is the option I went for.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I don't usually wear anything as fitted as these pants so I was a bit nervous ordering them, however <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/Piplotex?ref=search_shop_redirect">Piplotex </a>has absolutely amazing customer service ad worked with me. The pants arrived amazingly fast and while they are fitted I was pleased that they are not skin tight and they are super comfortable. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The gold lame version of these pants has now sold out and I'm so glad I nabbed them when I did, but they are still available in a wide range of fabrics and beautiful colors and for a great price just $64.00, which is amazing for a hand made garment.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It combined to of my absolute favorite things vintage (in the form of cheesy old movies) and sci-fi, in one cute and quirky package. In fact I'm so crazy about MST3K that for Weasley's 5th birthday one of his gifts was a Gizmonic jump suit like the one MST3K host Joel wears. </span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">and would you believe I don't even have all of them! Some are really hard to find. So it wasn't easy picking 5 essential episodes and these aren't even necessarily my favorites, they are just 5 I really like (this blog feature may have to be ongoing). Here they are in no particular order:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">1) <b><u>Manos The Hand's Fate:</u></b> The uninitiated bad movie viewer who asks the questions How bad can a movie really get? and How funny can a bad movie be? Needs to watch this crazy thing. It was made on a bet by an insurance and fertilizer sales man, he also plays father in the film. I guess he won the best because the movie is pretty famous now.. The resulting film is completely incoherent and totally hilarious. It also features a black toy poodle though he comes to a tragic end.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This episode also features the hilarious Chevrolet short, Hired! <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Mystery-Science-Theater-3000-Manos/dp/B0055CP9UY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1491241785&sr=8-1&keywords=mst3k+manos">Manos The Hands of Fate is available on Amazon for $12.99.</a></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">2)<u style="font-weight: bold;"> Cave Dwellers </u>This 1984 Italian fantasy film was featured in the first episode of the third season of MST3K. It is a swords and sandals type film and a pretty dreadful rip off of Conan the Barbarian, but boy is it funny. Along with a brain dead hero, a mute side kick, and heroine that looks like she is on the way to the mall, it features a snake that growls. That alone makes it worth watching. Here is Joel introducing the episode for a Turkey Day special he did in 2013.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Cave Dwellers is part of the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Mystery-Science-Theater-3000-Collection/dp/B000087EYI/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1491407939&sr=8-2&keywords=mst3k+cave+dwellers">volume 2 set of MST3K and is now horrifyingly </a>expensive, but you can rent it from Amazon prime for a reasonable price. Also Cave Dwellers is part two of a trilogy, yes there are three of these dreadful things, and part 1: <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=riff+trax+ator&oq=riff+trax+ator&aqs=chrome..69i57.2974j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8">Ator, The Fighting Eagle is now available on the Riff trax website. </a> It does not disappoint.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">3) <b>Laser Blast-</b>This 1978 sci-fi film was aired during the 7th season of MST3K.

I've been awfully busy at work and of course when I'm not working I want to spend quality time with the dogs and cats. I've been thinking I'll have to scale back on posts to this blog to once or twice a week, maybe less, but I just had to do today's post because I wanted anyone interested to now about the great deal on <a href="https://besamecosmetics.com/">Besame's website. </a>Their <a href="https://besamecosmetics.com/collections/lipstick?page=2">sweet heart lip glazes are now $5.00 each!</a></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Anyone who reads this blog probably knows that Besame is my favorite cosmetic's company. In fact with the exception of my <a href="http://www.burtsbees.com/product/bb-cream/VM-792850893740.html">Burt's Bee's BB crea</a>m it is the only cosmetic's brand I use. First off they make gorgeous vintage inspired cosmetics that really look like the orginals right down to the packaging. Secondly they are cruelty free, no animal testing, which is a cosmetics must for me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I am already fanatical about Besame's lipsticks, I love their opaque one coat coverage and era authentic colors (see these posts: <a href="http://retrorover-vintagedogs.blogspot.com/2016/02/modern-purveyors-of-vintage-besame.html#.WN-_bW8rKM8">post one</a>, <a href="http://retrorover-vintagedogs.blogspot.com/2014/07/modern-purveyors-of-vintage-besame.html#.WN-_9G8rKM8">post two</a>, <a href="http://retrorover-vintagedogs.blogspot.com/2016/10/product-review-besames-blood-red.html#.WN_AI28rKM8">post thre</a>e) I tend to prefer a semi-matte lip stick, and naturally glosses are well, glossy. Still when I saw them on sale for $5.00 It was a bargain I couldn't resist and I decided to spring for th<a href="https://besamecosmetics.com/products/lipstick-1">e Rose glaze</a>. Naturally like all Besame products the lip glaze arrived beautifully packaged.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">You can see the Rose glaze is opalescent and sheer with an purple tinge to its pinkness. I found the color almost invisible on my lips when applied alone, it just gave the faintest hint of shimmer, I didn't bother to take a picture. Then I decided to follow some advice on the Besame website and tried layering it over my Besame Exotic pink lipstick one of my favorite colors which unfortunately is no longer in stock. It is subtle but I really liked the effect.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I admit to having some issues regarding the whole aging thing. I think it is mostly because I enjoy life so much I'm not to crazy about the passing of time. I'm also not big on maturity, I may be 39 in body but I'm about 19 in my mind. I think I get sillier and less serious with each passing year, which isn't a bad thing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was also lucky to have an absolutely fabulous birthday weekend. I had a delicious breakfast at Tops Diner Saturday morning </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">and then we went to the The New Brusnswick Kennel club dog show to see the Toy Group breeds. I wore my Mischief Made me 1950s style dog tee since it seemed appropriate for the show.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> The best part was we got to see the Chihuahuas which is a breed I'm very interested in owning one day and the main reason I attend the show. The Chihuahua breeders and fanciers where lovely and let us attend their meeting, they where all members of the Central NJ Chihuahua club. They were so kind and gave us lots of information about the breed. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The accepted show size is 6 lbs and under and the good breeders breed to get dogs in about the 3 to 6 lb range. So tiny, but some unscrupulous people try for much smaller, crazy! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The main breeder we met also rescues large dogs and she recommended a dog 4 lbs or bigger for us when the time comes which I agree with. It was wonderful to see breeders who love their breed so much and are really working to better it. We also met the most adorable 4 month old puppy. I was completely in love.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">but for his public profile that was always so kind and generous. He was patient and appreciative of fans, and I really think used his celebrity status for good. I really enjoyed reading his autobiography <a href="https://www.amazon.com/I-Am-Spock-Leonard-Nimoy/dp/142335835X">I Am Spock</a> and learning about his career and life. It remains one of my favorite books, and certainly my favorite autobiography. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Despite his ubiquitous link to his Vulcan alter ego, Leonard had an interesting and varied career that spanned that later half of the 20th century. One aspect of that career did surprise me somewhat, his 1960s and 70s status as a heart throb.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">While it makes perfect sense that Nimoy's nerdy outside character Spock would appeal to angst ridden 1960's teens (see below this touching letter Nimoy wrote to a young fan struggling with her bi-racial heritage, Spock of course was also bi-racial being half Vulcan and half human)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana";">Still, from the minute Star Trek appeared on the airwaves in 1966 it was Leonard Nimoy as Spock, rather then the more traditionally handsome William Shatner playing the womanizing Captain Kirk</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">who got the majority of female fans attention. Something that Shatner has admitted irked him a bit at the time.<br />
<br />
So surprising was Nimoy's popularity with female fans that none other then famed science fiction author and Star Trek screen writer Issac Assimov wrote an article about the phenomenon. You can read it<a href="https://www.tvinsider.com/1686/mr-spock-is-dreamy-issac-asimovs-1967-look-at-how-leonard-nimoys-star-trek-character-changed-sex-appeal/"> here.</a> It is a great vintage article and dream reading for any vintage loving pop culture geek like myself. In the article, Assimov explains that his teen daughter finds Mr. Spock "dreamy" and speculates that this is because smart is sexy. Personally, I think Shatner might have been more on the nose when he said that Spock's appeal lay in his inaccesability and the general human desire to want what we can't have. Both are probably correct.<br />
<br />
Personally, I love both Kirk and Spock, and possibly Kirk a teensy bit more. I think the character get's less attention then Spock in general and I've always had a thing for the underdog. Regardless, smart and nerdy is always best in my book.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Maybe there not everyone's cup of tea, but to me these delightfully kitschy 1950s and 60s poodle images just put modern dog graphics to shame. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> So ubiquitous was the mid century poodle that I was actually shocked to learn that according to the AKC poodles where only the decade's <a href="http://www.akc.org/content/news/articles/top-ten-breeds-of-the-1950s/">7th most popular breed. </a>Regardless of the ranking, the poodle and the 1950s are forever linked.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Sadly today, I feel the poodle has fallen a bit out of favor. Doodles are popular but poodles don't seem to get the same respect they used too. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I am also troubled by the modern trend to groom a poodle into looking like some other breed of dog. I have written before about how I want Mr. Tuvok to be groomed in a t<a href="http://retrorover-vintagedogs.blogspot.com/2016/06/poodle-pride.html#.WMgLam8rKM8">raditional pet poodle style</a>, and that can be a challenge. Groomers have told me that most people tell them to make their dogs look less like a poodle. A sentiment that really kind of angers me, poodles are a wonderful breed, why would you want to disguise that? Smart, companionable, athletic affectionate, and in a range of sizes, they really are fantastic. Let's have some poodle pride!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">With my love for dogs and vintage I can't get enough of dog themed vintage clothing, so when I saw that my favorite novelty skirt designer, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/girlinawhirl/">Girl In A Whirl</a>, was adding 1950's Mexican style tourist jackets to her wares I knew I wanted where my poodle pride on my sleeve with a poodle themed jacket. I messaged <a href="https://www.facebook.com/girlinawhirl/">Girl In A Whirl designer</a>, Rebecca and told her I was dreaming of a jacket with little black poodles on it. I wanted the poodles to have the classic well groomed 1950's look and to be wearing red berets. Rebecca understood exactly what I meant and my new Girl In A Whirl jacket is perfect! </span><br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I've been wearing it at least once a week since I got it and I never get tired of it (and yes Mr. Tuvok has a red beret, it was actually part of his pug sister Ping's halloween costume a few years ago.)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; text-align: start;"> The picture's here are from two different occasions.

Both time's I wore my red <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/ChatterBlossom">Chatterblossom </a>hair flower and of course my poodle purse.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I also added gold tone poodle scatter pins to the neck of the jacket. I have had these forever and I forget where I got them but they only cost a couple of bucks and they are perfectly at home on the jacket. Proof that it always pays to take advantage of a vintage deal even if your not totally sure what to do with the item.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Weasley is the first dog I got after starting blogging and it really reminds me of why I love blogging so much when I see the record of wonderful memories I have. I almost can't read his <a href="http://urbanhounds-tubby5dog.blogspot.com/2012/05/welcome-weasley.html">welcome home post on my old blog Urban Hounds </a>because I get so emotional seeing it, and really emotional seeing him with Tubby and Norbert. Then I remember how incredibly lucky I am to share my life with these amazing creatures! I'm truly blessed. Five is certainly not old, but it's not exactly young either, and Weasley is now definitely a man pug!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Is not so little anymore. In fact he grew to big for his collar. I kept finding his grey break away collar around the house and when I went to put it back on him I realized it was a bit tight on his neck, so he was rubbing against thing's to get it off. (Of course we only use break away collars on our cat's for safety.) All our cat's are strictly indoor only, but Spot is the only one of the four to show any curiosity about the outside world. He has gone out the door a few times and of course we always bring him back immediately, but I still feel he must wear a collar in case he escapes. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">15 years ago our now 16 year old cat Baby opened a screen in our Brooklyn basement apartment and was missing a week. We papered Bay Ridge in fliers and miraculously found her but the experience has made me a maniac about preventing cat escapes. (Interestingly it has also made Baby terrified of the outside world and she never even goes near the door.) I never open windows, even with screen's, and I'm very careful about the door. If a delivery person is coming the cat's get locked in a room. I'm constantly checking on the cats, particularly, Spot, to make sure they are inside. So the second I realized Spot's collar wasn't working I knew he needed another one.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Luckily I found a cute larger collar in the adorable etsy shop Furocious Kitty and bonus! It's a Star Trek collar, Spot is named after Commander Data's cat on Star Trek The Next Generation:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I really recommend <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/FurociousKitty">Furocious Kitty</a> if you are in the market for a cat collar. They have ton's of collar's with adorable charms in lot's of different themes Holidays, animals, food, etc. I can already see myself purchasing some Holiday collars. It's also nice that the shop caters exclusively to cats. I think that's partly why the collar fits so well. The collars are very reasonably prices, between $10 and $12, Spot's collar was $10 and the seller was very nice about answering my questions. </span></div>

I spent it doing my favorite things spending time with the dogs and cats, eating, watching Star Trek and Mystery Science Theatre 3000, and of course dressing up. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As I mentioned in previous posts I have been selling off a lot of my clothes in order to fund new ones. I have decided that in order for me to keep it an article of clothing needs to fit several criteria:</span><br />
<br />
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It must be fun. I'm old enough I'll dress as I like and I only want fun, happy clothes that make me smile.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It must be comfortable. Despite what people thing full skirts and petticoats really are comfortable. Nothing, not even sweat pants, are more comfortable then full skirts.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Preferably it will be something I can wear while biking. This isn't a total must but its a big plus. Thankfully, most things can be biked in. I find biking in high heels easier then walking in them and petticoats are a breeze to bike in.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I have to love it.</span></li>
</ol>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Most of these outfits I have featured on here before, but some I have, the one's I haven't will get their own posts eventually but I thought it would be fun to record the week (actually 9 days with the two weekends.) This was a very unusually warm February with temperatures in the 60s, hello global warming, so that is why so many of these outfits are spring like, and no I didn't wear them any place special. I wore them to go out to lunch, to get bubble tea and to bike with the dogs.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Outfit Number , Saturday: Jumpsuit from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/MariaGuyeClothing">Maria Guye</a> and Mexican Tourist jacket from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/girlinawhirl/">Girl In A Whirl:</a></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I bought this jumpsuit to wear to the NYC commicon but then we wound up not going due to massive lines that meant even ticket holders like us would have had a 3 to 4 hour wait in the rain. I was very upset, but at least I love the jumpsuit! It, and the jacket, will get their own outfit post eventually.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Considering the platinum goddesses's devotion to the cosmetic I figured the anniversary of her birth would be a good time to do a review of my own personal favorite powder.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://besamecosmetics.com/products/vanilla-rose-brightening-powder">Besame Vanilla Rose powder. </a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Now Harlow was tragically young, only 26, when she died of kidney failure, so she never had to contend with the problem that has made me leery of powders: aging skin. In less then a month I'll be 39 and powder is one cosmetic that gets tricky with advancing age. Powder can settle on wrinkles and dry patches making the more noticeable. For this reason I used to avoid powder completely. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">However, I wear a very creamy foundation, Burt's Bees CC cream. I love the creaminess and lightness of this foundation, but it can sometimes get a bit greasy and shiny or rub off completely. That's why I decided to give the Besame Vanilla Rose powder a shot. I love Besame, but I had previously tried their Lavendar Brightening Powder and it was the only one of their cosmetics that I underwhelmed me. I really felt it left a chalky texture on my skin. So I wasn't prepared to love Vanilla Rose, but I do!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It's a very, very faint pink that suits the fairest of skin tones. The website says it corrects green and blue tones, I find I have more redness, but I still think this works well for me. It really doesn't impart any color, just brightens and sets make up!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The video below is from <a href="https://besamecosmetics.com/">Besame a</a>nd shows how to apply the powder and then set it with their finishing brush:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I take lighter approach. I don't have the finishing brush so I just tap the container, </span><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">while closed of course, against the edge of the sink and then pat on a tiny bit with the puff. I'm very careful not to overdo it. I certainly don't follow Harlow's advice and count my whole face, and no way am I following her step 2 press powder into tiny lines! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The effect of powder application is definitely subtle, but I think I see a difference:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Here I am minus powder (and yes I was taking a selfie with a can of Spam, I occasionally love to indulge in some spam):</span><br />

I'm certainly not giving up vintage, rather I want to fund new outfits, and I wan't to make sure everything I own is something I really love. That's how I feel about this amazing 1930s style Drindl that <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/TheBlackPinafore">Deborah From The Black </a>Pinafore made me. It just couldn't be better.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I emailed Debora some pictures of 1930s and 40s Drindl's I found online </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">and asked her to make something similar, but with a hooded capelet, lately I've been really into hoods (see my amazing <a href="http://retrorover-vintagedogs.blogspot.com/2017/01/vintage-outfit-post-glamorous-new-robe.html#.WLC27G8rKM8">1930s hooded robe)</a>. The result is wonderful, very 1930s or 40s Disney Princess, or Hobbit!, in the best way possible.</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The artisan-ship on the Drindl is amazing. The hooded capelet is hooded brow velveteen. The sleeves are trimmed in the same velveteen as the cape and have zip closures. The apron ties on and the white section is faux blouse trimmed with brown ribbon. The entire dress zips up the back. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Perhaps I should have left the pug life button though because it may be a bad influence on Fry and Weasley as they could be embracing their inner thug. On Wednesday there was a drive by shooting less then a block from our home and I was in the back yard with all of the dogs. Tuvok was terrified and ran toward me, but Fry and Weasley ran towards the gate and the sound of the shooting. It was very scary but we got inside safely and no one was hurt. (The bullets missed whoever the intended target was.) There are definitely downsides to living in the city, but Mitsuwa Market is an upside.</span>tubby3pughttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01315017048832512111noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6338431669668255034.post-48373840913157807632017-02-22T08:51:00.000-08:002017-02-22T08:51:16.164-08:00Second Cross Stitch Done and Mr. Tuvok Get's His Teeth Cleaned<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I finished my second cross stitch.</span><br />

We had made an appointment for Weasley to do the same but our vet said his teeth weren't that bad yet and we could wait a year. I love my vet he's very honest and saved us 800 dollars. He did say Tuvok had lots of tartar for a two year old dog and would be needing lots of dentals over his life time. We expected that though since he is a toy poodle. Tuvok isn't happy about it though.</span><br />

Thankfully, I've found a way to make it work! The lovely Deb from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/Pugpossessed">pug possessed</a> made Mr. Tuvok an adorable poodle (and dog) print fleece coat for Christmas and I've realized it is a great match with my pug and poodle skirt from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/GirlinawhirlUK">Girl in a Whirl </a>(featured on the blog before).</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Despite the saying on the adorable 1950s Valentine above I have always been pretty neutral about Valentine's day. I like vintage cards and who doesn't love candy, but I'm not one to make a big deal about the day. However, I'm perennially a sucker for seasonal dressing and Valentines is no different.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">About 6 months ago I was perusing Etsy when I came across the most amazing 1950s Novelty circle skirt depicting Romeo romancing Juliette on the balcony.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The skirt was beautiful but it was also tiny and astronomically expensive, think major veterinary bills price level. Still I liked it so much I kept thinking about it and I decided to ask my favorite 1950s reproduction seamstress, Girl In A Whirl, if she could make me a similar skirt. We decided on a different color scheme, lavender and pink, as opposed to black and pink, which would have shown to much pet hair anyway. The resulting skirt, is like all of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/girlinawhirl/">Girl In A Whirl's </a>creations, beautiful, in fact I think it really is prettier then the original.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The details she included in the skirt are amazing: the figures, flowers, hearts, and leaves are all cut from felt and hand stitched. The skirt is light and comfortable and like all circle skirts it is beautifully full when paired with a crinoline.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I've learned over the years to not limit my online handbag searches to traditional adult hand bags, but rather to look outside the box and search for things like travel cases, sewing bags, book bags, lunch boxes, hat boxes, and most of all children's bags. That last search item is how I discovered Miss. Ponytail. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Miss Ponytail, and Miss Traveler by Ponytail, are Barbie like teen queen character who appeared on diaries, record cases, travel bags, purses, and lunch boxes in the 1950s and 60s.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So using my 1940s style pinafore dress from The Black Pinafore (you can read about it in <a href="http://retrorover-vintagedogs.blogspot.com/2015/02/pins-and-pinafores-valentines-day.html#.WJjDrGQrJz8">this post)</a> I put together a cute 60s sort of look </span><br />

While everyone else is watching the big game I'll be curled up in bed with a good book.

After all time flies (I can't believe I'll be 39 in two months) and this year really flew buy, some of these pictures feel like yesterday. So here they are: my 10 favorite 2016 looks.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This is an authentic vintage piece and one of the only 1960s pieces in my wardrobe, as well as one of the few evening/cocktail dresses. I got the dress from<a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/FabGabs"> Fab Gabs</a> for a friend's wedding and accessorized it with a<a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/ChatterBlossom?ref=shop_sugg"> Chatterblossom</a> hair flower, lucite box purse, and <a href="https://remixvintageshoes.com/">Remix vintage shoes.</a> Sadly this dress was very delicate and it really only survived one evening before the lurex started to tear. It was a vintage tragedy because not only is the dress beautiful it fit like a glove.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This dress is a reproduction from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/SewVintageSeamstress">Sew Vintage Seamstress.</a> It has a classic late 30s silhouette with puffed sleeves and a notched collar. The best part is the fabric, thick warm Burgundy colored corduroy. This is a warm dress. I accessorized it with an authentic 1930s hat I've had for year's and a 1940s ice follies brooch. The gloves are a thrifted pair, I think from the 50s, and the shoes are from<a href="http://www.american-duchess.com/"> American Duchess.</a></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This skirt was my 38th birthday outfit. I wanted something that would combine a sci-fi element with vintage, and thought of space travel. I've always admired the optimism that pervaded space exploration in the 1950s and 60s. <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/GirlinawhirlUK">Girl in A Whirl </a>can take any image and use felt to put it on a 1950s style circle skirt. So I asked her to put the cover of the <i>This Is The Way to The Moon</i> by M. Sasek on a skirt. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is a really nice casual dress from <a href="http://www.heydayonline.co.uk/">Hey Day Vintage</a> that definitely demonstrates the power of a print. The casual tie on style of the dress is very comfortable and easy to wear and reminds me of dresses from the 1950s and early 60s. The print is super versatile and lends it self to accessories in lots of different color combos. I wore 1950s gloves and a head scarf in bright aqua and lots of bakelite bangles, but plenty of other colors would look smashing too. The shoes, like most of my shoes, are <a href="https://remixvintageshoes.com/products/playtime?variant=1280574432">Remix again, playtime canvas wedge</a>s. My favorite accessory in this outfit though is the purse it is a 1940s or 50s children's doll shaped purse. This is my second one, the first one a cow girl broke sniff, but I think I like this tropical lady with her big sun hat even better.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My friend Kim Clark made this 1940s style sun suit and placed it up for sale on the Facebook <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/20s30s40smarketplace/">1930s and 40s costumers group.</a> As soon as I saw the amazing lime green vintage Mexican fabric I knew it would look amazing with the 1940s style Mexican sun hat I had, had for awhile. Seriously these pieces look like they where made for each other! The pay suit consists of a halter neck sun suit and a boxy over jacket with a tie waist. The lime green 1940s style sandals are from Remix and I've worn them so much I need to replace them. The final perfect touch was the 1940s style brooch of a Mexican man in a Sombrero from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/MrsPollysLucite">Mrs. Polly's Lucite</a>. This is pretty much my ideal beach outfit, covered up, flattering and fun!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I'm always saying vintage style doesn't have to mean dressed up and this outfit is proof of it. It's just a simple 1950s style gingham top from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/SwellDameBoutique">Swell Dame</a> and 1950s style Pedal Pushers from <a href="http://www.freddiesofpinewood.co.uk/">Freddies of Pinewood. </a> The hat is one of my favorite things ever, a foldable 1960s beach hat, and the cat's eye sunglasses are fun too. I got the sandals from <a href="https://remixvintageshoes.com/products/penny">Remix</a>, like nearly all of my shoes, and I've had the cherry pin since I was a kid. The purse I'm holding in the second picture is one of the most amazing novelty purses I have ever sen it has a horse on it! I think I wore this outfit more the anything else this summer.</span><br />

It's a simple 1950s sundress in a western novelty print with rick-rack trim, I'm crazy about rick-rack. I really love the neckline on this dress.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I have quite a few <a href="http://berniedexter.com/">Bernie Dexte</a>r dresses but this one is really special. It is a popular print and it was sold out in my size for a long time but I finally nabbed it and on sale! I'm not sure if you can call this a traditional vintage look but I don't care. It's such a fun print and so festive and the skirt is made for a petticoat. I wore it with a <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/ChatterBlossom?ref=shop_sugg">Chatter Blossom</a> hair flower of course, sparkly silver tights, <a href="https://remixvintageshoes.com/products/babydoll">Ivory remix pumps</a>, and my lucite purse.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I love clothes but there are two aspects of vintage style dressing I'm particularly crazy about: seasonal dressing and stuff with dogs and cats on it. This skirt has both! <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/GirlinawhirlUK">Girl In A Whirl</a> made it for me based on pictures of vintage Christmas skirts we found online and she made the cat look like my darling Spot.</span><br />

He arranges a meeting with an auto executive to show off his new tires, but naturally it doesn't go as planned. Bisbee's idea is to shoot at his tires with a gun, demonstrating the impenetrability, but unbeknown to him a police officer has moved his car and an identical car with normal tires is in its place.</span><br />

Not me, I've failed at knitting and crocheting and can't even sew on a button, but I think I've finally found the craft for me. Something so simple and basic that a six year can do it well, which means I can do it ok:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Cross stitch.</b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I decided to give it a try whenI saw that there where lots of geeky sci-fi and fantasy patterns available on Etsy. I started with a really simple Star Trek The Next Generation inspired pattern from the etsy shop <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/quotestitching">Quote Stitching. </a> This pattern was perfect because it referenced my beloved Spot, who I named after the cat belonging to the Android Science Officer Data on Star Trek The Next Generation.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">People are rightly concerned with warmth and safety and if your like me and bike or walk every day you need clothes you can move in. Also if your like me then your clothing choices are pretty central to your identify. I'm just not willing to give up my vintage style in the winter, and so I'm always on the look out for practical vintage winter style inspirations and I found a stunning one in the 1934 Hitchcock Film <i>The Man Who Knew To Much.</i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Most viewers are probably more familiar with the 1956 version starring James Stewart and Doris Day, but if you ask me the 1934 version is far superior, and not just for Peter Lorre who is amazingly creepy as the vilian:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The entire look of the film is better, and that includes the fashions. The film takes place in Switzerland and the look that really got me swooning was worn by the young girl, and kidnap victim, Betty played by Nova Pilbeam. While she watches her glamorous mother Jill, Edna Best, participate in a clay pigion shooting contest. Betty wears some kind of adorable wool suit, maybe a ski suit, and the cutest crochet tam hat and gauntlet gloves I have ever seen.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">(I also love the monogram or insignia on her father's scarf and bonus points for the cute dachschund, but I do wish he had a sweater too.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Though Betty is obviously a young girl I definitely think this look would work on a women of any age and it certainly looks warm. One of my most treasured items of clothing is my own 1930s wool ski suit:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">and I can attest to the fact this it is very, very warm. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The gorgeous fashion doesn't stop in the shooting scene though, the movie is choc-a-block with beautifully shot noir moments. </span><br />
