I was born in the wrong era....perhaps we all were

I can't decide whether it's a shame or a blessing that vintage has become so ridiculously hip. (Actually I'm not sure if it's technically hip anymore because pretty much everyone is on the vintage bandwagon..hmmm...what are the rules about these things?? I kind of feel lame and sheepish about loving it because it seems so...cliched and wannabe lately. But I do..I confess...in my very soul I do.)

This is one of the reasons why everyone is gaga for vintage. (All of the lovelies I am drooling over can be found here.).

The clothes were made to make the most of a woman's body. (I may be a tad biased since they are especially kind to my figure type). They were elegant and modest.

I would love to go out on a fancy date with my husband wearing this. But alas, there is a dearth of fancy date places around here and it may be a bit over the top for our local Panera.

(Happily, this particular line is very much back in vogue). Actually, I could swear I saw something like this at Target recently) I have boat neck fitted shirt that I love with this design.

Sweet and feminine. ( Now this line would take a little more gumption to wear to the office in 2010..but if I had it in my closet, and I had an office to go to..I think I'd find the gumption)

Incredibly flattering. (Why don't I get invited to things where I get to wear red silk frocks?? Why!? Maybe there is a White House party I could crash...)

And often just magical. No wonder the song "I enjoy being a girl" came out in the 50's.

(Although just so we are clear, there are several things about being a girl in the 50's that I'm quite thrilled to be doing without.).

So listen lovelies....

Tomorrow I am going to be Unplugging in solidarity with the movement you see here to your left, as we discussed here.

I am ghoulishly interested to see how the withdrawal will affect me. I'm wondering if it's going to be more of the twitching and frothing, or heavier on the crying and the begging, maybe the glassy eyed staring, or perhaps, the rocking and the tuneless humming? It is possible we're looking at an all day fetal position situation. Ohhhh....*rubs hands together with glee*..it is going to be interesting.

This means that the ULTIMATE WINNER will only be announced on Saturday. I know, I know, but think of it as an exercise in self-control and delayed gratification. It also means that there will be no Friday for my Fabulous and Faithful Followers to be rewarded (eeps). On the upside this gives the rest of you casual clickers the chance to jump in on that action. So what say we get a little crazy and move that happy event to Monday? It can be Marvelous Monday for my faithful followers instead. Not quite the alliterative event I was hoping for but it will do. Excellent!

More things to come back for: Photos of my new kitchen! A report on how I survived The Unplugging (assuming of course that I do survive the unplugging), including what I managed to accomplish! Pretty pictures of the Springy things growing in my garden! And... some other awesome stuff which I will come up with during all that empty unplugged time!

Also, tomorrow night I am having a Tastefully Simple party for my sweet dear friend Claire (she is donating some of the goods to our Ultimate Prize Package too. And hey, if that link does not take you directly to her site enter: Claire Goberman for the consultant name).

If you are in the area, and we have you know, met, and yet I failed to invite you, it is not because I do not like you, because I do, oh so much! Truly! It is because I have a raging case of Adult Attention Deficit Disorder (what's the latest on Octomom btw? and also, it is not so much Spring weather today-shoot, anyone got a good chocolate croissant recipe??) so e- mail me for the deets and then come on dooooooown. Because there will be food. And....well really, do I need to say much more? If you aren't in the area and you wish to procure some yummies too, (because you don't like to be left out of stuff, and it's completely awesome), let me know, I shall hook you up. And I will do it with a smile.

So that's the scoop. Unless I come up with something else between now and midnight I shall bid you a teary Adieu and see you soon...xoxo

And OH! If you are hoping to be the winner of the Ultimate Prize Package, there is still time ('til 11:50pm Friday 27th). Just click HERE. I am totally rooting for you.
