Be nice to your wife. My husband wasn’t nice to me and look how I turned out.

— 

From Thelma & Louise.

Currently watching said film and learning to be outlaws on the road. Sort of.

We're Watching Thelma & Louise. Right Now.

Right now. 10:50PM. We ordered [or clicked for?] Thelma & Louise on On Demand.

Thanks, Comcast.

Why? Because I’ve never seen it.

Why again? Because our professor [well, he used to be mine — but either way, he’s Darla’s now, and the relationship exists] said that Darla & I can’t be the modern day Thelma & Louise.

He was right.

We need a third.

So why, WHY again? This is inspiration. Not only because of Brad Pitt as a youngin’ [see below] but because we can see what NOT to do [kill a man in the south, that’s what]. But maybe a bit of what to do.

Be women on the run. Be a bit crazy. Live the joyride.

But please don’t call me Thelma. And please don’t call Darla Louise.

Cause we’re getting our third.

YO S-Train,

The beginning of an email to me from a new mentor.

Love the nick name.

The little engine that could, yo.

Moxie has taken on the meaning of “courage, daring; energy, vision

— 

Moxie.  My old favorite word [it used to be my screen name in middle school — MoxieGirl]

Taking it on again, age 23 and aging. Toward Moxie.

The house

The art/gym/pool house. Yes, POOL.

Nature!

Nature!

Nature again!

Definitely NOT 125th Street.

Definitely NOT 125th Street.

All of the above is where I am currently staying - at Darla’s country abode outside Philadelphia.

This ain’t no Harlem, baby.

Can you say A-MA-ZING?

One last blog post before Darla and I do a running-and-jumping leap into planning for the DS & SD road trip, Vintage Threads & Vegan Eats.

Which over the course of the next few hours, may change titles.

But we’re open to it.

We hope you are, too.

I’m about to eat breakfast from Wimer’s Organics, a fully sustainable and organic farm in Lancaster. My hometown. The irony? I’m outside Philadelphia. I never would have had this in Lancaster. Yes, poor result of a slightly uncaring upbringing about the quality of food.

En route to Philadelphia for a huge creative planning session re: DSD. Or is it SDS, Dar?

Who cares. It’s happening.

1950’s fashion (via ΔSabine DavisΔ)


I love love love this, but its not realistic. That’s the first thing I thought when I looked at it. The girl is just too pretty and she can rock the dress just too well. And in looking at this, I’m doubting it’s a vintage picture at all. I’d be interested to know if this was just a photo shoot.
Either way, here’s how I’d rock this outfit, the SDV way.
Remove the hat. Way too costume-y for the average girl. Especially if you are going to wear the rest of the outfit …
which I would limit to just the top. LOVE the top part of the dress - fitted, professional, sexy. Like Victoria Secret clothes in the catalog. A little too sexy for the office but you just want to wear ‘em anyway.
The skirt? Well, if you could remove it completely, I’d make it A-line. A nice sleek pencil skirt.
And then add in some fabulous round-toe pumps like these, below [NOTE: must be round toe. It gives you a feminine chic that no pointy-toed-slut-shoe will ever give]
And you’ve got yourself a 2009-going-on-2010 version of a 1950s professional working gal.

If this was where your heart was, you would blow it up, he knows that - I’ve always said he was a smart guy! I think it’s affirmation of how skilled you are to carry out your vision for Sammy Davis Vintage. There is a line in the Little Women movie where Jo March (played by Winona) says, “I could have been a great many things.” She chose to be a teacher. We could both be a great many things…but greatness only comes from choosing the one that makes you happy and let’s you contribute something to the world in a way that no one else really could.

Thanks to my friends for their strength.

MarketPublique.com: 50s 60s Tie-Front Bow Black Cocktail Wiggle Dress M →

The always-awesome founder and stylista Pamela Castillo shared this little itty double-bonus LBD with me over email this morning. And the more I look at it, the more I love it!

I mean, it has a jacket IN the dress. Oh cool is THAT.
