SWEDGIN!!! An original set of promotional Deadwood playing cards that feature the main characters as the court (face) cards. all 52 are still in there (the deck looks like it’s never been used). It was provided to someone who worked on set. This one sits on my bar cart - it’s a big hit at parties because who doesn’t love Deadwood? If you don’t imma change your OF nickname (they let me do that to y’all on my end!) to a hoople head cocksucker. Wanna play poker with me? I’ll bring the canned peaches and unauthorized cinnamon. (if you play with me, Bullock wins any time regardless of traditional poker rules. I have the biggest, irrational crush him.)

What people think owning a vintage shop is like vs. what owning a vintage shop is actually like 😅 It’s my one year anniversary! Thank y’all so much for being here. As a token of appreciation, I sent a little something spicy to your inboxes 💋

“adds two inches!” they knew 😏 this is a measuring tape from the 1960s, manufactured by K&E (a company famous for their drafting and architectural tools) that was used by Tums as advertisements. we see a lot of items like this in the shop: midcentury household items that were given away by companies as advertisements. I’ve seen everything from pocket & table lighters, ashtrays, pencils, or in this case, tools. ps size doesn’t doesn’t matter 💋

a quick little behind the scenes tonight: working on a series of “Get Undressed With Me” sets through different eras, from Victorian to the 1970s. I’m trying on a pair of 1880 “pantaletters” which were the precursor to underwear. They’re cotton or linen tubes of cloth, often with a lace or detailed hem, connected together by a string that’s tied around the waist. After the Interview with the Vampire team bought out most of our Victorian & Edwardian pieces while filming here last year I’ve had to restock slowly. I’ve got my hands on some cool pieces and am shooting in a neat location next week for a full (more authentic feeling) set. Stay tuned for the full set in a few weeks. There really is something about a breeze flowing in parts you don’t normally feel it. I’m both cold and hot at the same time 💋 PS Choker is also Victorian

Abbie Hoffman 4 President ✌🏻 An ultra rare 1970s Abbie Hoffman t-shirt from his time in hiding. Abbie Hoffman was a political and social activist in the 1969s and 70s. He founded the Youth International Party (they called themselves Yippies) and was integral in the Flower Power movement of that time. The movie The Trial of the Chicago Seven is a good primer if you’re not familiar. He published a book as a revolutionary survival guide (pictured is an original copy - this version from 1970 isn’t allowed to be printed anymore that way due to the content!). It’s dog eared and falling apart from the number of times (I’m assuming) it was stolen and used. Instead of stealing my book, you can have my panties. I took the liberty of taking them off for you already 💋✌🏻

a little local interest: wearing and not wearing a 1940s/50s work apron (couldn’t decide which edit I liked better) from Hibernia Roofing & Metalworks. Check out the phone number which contained numbers and letters (CR-5155). Phone numbers typically had two letters followed by 4 numbers until about the 1960s. hope this abates your Sunday Scaries 🙃💋

is snatched the right word for this outfit? got a 70s perfectly worn Sears bellbottom workwear coverall in the shop and if the hem was longer I’d be wearing it all day every day and permanently incorporating the word “groovy” into my daily vernacular. I’m short (5, 3”) and 75% of that is my legs so this jumpsuit is headed back on the rack. Sorry I’ve been MIA - it’s been a hell of a few weeks (all good - just crazy busy). I still have a huge (huge!) box of pieces from clothing to playing cards to other neat pieces to model for y’all so next week I should have a chance to get back in the shop where my tripod is. Thanks for hanging in there 💋

SOMEONE ACTUALLY SPENT MONEY TO HAVE THIS COSTUME MADE FOR THEM Mardi Gras in the 1970s was a wild time (if it adds anything to your visual on when this ghost costume was worn, it came from a French Quarter home of a guy who had an indoor pool instead of a living room so you can imagine the parties when he wasn’t working in the film industry. it’s also where the leather Tarzan loincloth costume came from) ps I threw in a few other photos of stuff I pulled out of the costume box to hold y’all over until after the holiday 💜💛💚 Happy Lundi Gras!

happy Valentine’s Day y’all 🌹 everyone kept coming into the shop to ask about this jacket so I took it home to try it on before it goes right back out the door wearing a rare, 1960s Minnesota Twins varsity souvenir jacket that found its way into the shop. it’s heavy wool with hand stitched lettering and was likely owned by someone who traveled with the team. The “TC” stands for Twin Cities, representing both Minneapolis and St. Paul (who up until that point had been in an ongoing baseball team rivalry). to my ex partner leaking my OF nudes, this one’s for you 🫶🏻

not back in the shop just yet but we came across these super rare “Frogskin camouflage pants” from WW2 and I couldn’t not them before I shipped them out (they sold in like 0.2 seconds) They’re made of Herringbone Twill (HBT) which is a cool textile. This specific pattern (frog skin) is reversible with a five-color jungle pattern on a green background on one side and a three-color beach pattern with a tan background on the other side. They were first issued in 1942 to Marine Raiders, and only used for about two years, mostly in the Pacific theater. They were briefly used in the European theater until more than a few accidental friendly fire occurred because of how similar the uniform looked to SS uniforms. Only about 150,000 were made so there aren’t many floating around nowadays. They’re high waisted, cropped to the ankle and have large thick pockets and it’s impractical for me to keep them but boy they are cool.
