Favorite Couple Friday

Herman & Lily Munster

Most of us can only dream of having the ideal relationship that Lily and Herman had. Mr. and Mrs. Munster are my favorite couple because never have I seen a couple as well suited and as simply adorable as Lily and Herman. They are both wonderfully wacky and yet never try to change the absolutely endearing quirks of the other. They are best friends and they are completely in love, Herman and Lily are a couple that people can only aspire to imitate.

Maila Nurmi A.K.A. Vampira A.K.A. The First Punk

Maila Nurmi, who also went by Vampira, shall always be remembered and celebrated as a beautiful and daring women, but I think she was so much more. Maila has been noted most for her extremely small waist, which I believe was 17", and her remarkably morbid attire. 





I believe Maila to be so much more than a tiny wasted women with long dark locks and skin tight dresses. Maila was truly the first punk rocker. 










All these photos were taken in 1950s, the 1950s I tell you! She is so punk rock it hurts. All I can do is marvel at this women who was so wildly ahead of her time. I am literally speechless so I will leave you now with more exquisite pictures of one of the most amazing women to grace this planet we call earth with her existence.

Vintage Hats Are Where Its At!

I have long been bewitched by any sort of head wear and with summer approaching at a rapid speed summer hats will now once again be broken free from the top the closet and sported around with pride. With this in mind we shall now embark on a picture show of simply awe inspiring vintage hats!













Now that you have seen some fantastic hats I encourage you to begin the hunt and begin building your own collection of unique vintage head wear. With that said I myself have been shopping around and recently found two very fun hats that I will be, without a doubt, sporting this summer.



I was actually very excited about this hounds tooth floppy hat because of this picture I found from the 1960s!







 This hat was a fun find, it is a Parkhurst hat but it captures a time that past us long ago.

The Hour

So I have been known to became quit obsessed with TV programs and my for a little bit now I have been very into The Hour. Its about a news crew in 1950s and of course there is mystery, affairs, and plenty of drama. I was very said to see that BBC has decided it will not return for a third season but alas that tends to be my luck. But the show, because it is set in the 1950s, has wonderful costumes that quit look like many of the clothes in my closet. So I thought the show deserved a post for the extraordinary actors and so I can drool over the costumes/hair/era.














The world needs more shows set in the 1950s.
