Brooching the subject with Babs Walters

I didn't know that young Babs Walters was so chic! Girlfriend definitely knew how to rock a brooch and a Mary Tyler Moore kicky hairdo! 

Proof:

The outfit that launched a thousand (or one) inspirational blog posts.
WHAT A NECKLACE.

Ooh that minty green shift with gold brooch looks fabs, Babs.

I'm not American so I'm assuming this is some kind of First Lady she is meeting in a
sensible double-breasted wool suit dress in charcoal.
Very chic, Babs.

Very patriotic and matchy-matchy, Babs.

Classic necklace and brooch on the shoulder of a basic shift.
Your move, Gene Shalit.

This is probably my favourite look of Babs'.
Digging the red scoop neck with the funky glasses and medallion brooch.

Questionable bangs, not so questionable brooch.

Girlfriend liked red.

Love this graphical look.

Proof that Babs' still rocks a brooch from time to time.
Along with the somewhat questionable bangs.

So, now you know it wasn't always beige pant suits and matching mules.

Shirley Visions of Reality

This looks beautiful in its simplicity. The colours, the minimalism of the sets and costumes definitely evoke the ennui and disparity of Hopper's portraits of women in the 1930s.

PFS Vintage Office Holiday Party

We had our first annual office party to celebrate PFS Vintage! We got dressed up in our finest and partied like it was 1965. Even our intern Lupin who is normally a pretty big Grinch got in on the fun! Enjoy!












Thanks to Jackie, Cha-nese, Germain and of course Lupin for modelling! Happy Holidays, y'all!

Understanding Your Body

Emma and I were having a look at an old book that I have in my collection. It is filled with lots of information and nice colour pictures.

Emma, about to learn to finally understand her body
Hopefully we can be this confident after reading this book.
I don't understand what any of these images have in common, but then I can't really read so...
Step 5 in understanding your body: smoke a huge blunt everyday
"...and that's why Mommy has to leave you here on the beach for the rest of the winter."



The porniest breast exam I have ever seen
How 'planking' can help shed those unwanted pounds
'HI!'
The inscription on the inside (translated from French) reads: 'Thinner, thinner, thinner, there will always be something left. Good luck. Happy Workers Day.' Wise words from a caring friend.
