LA Time Machines: Where to Wear


July 29th, 2007

Los Angeles Time Machines is a site that we have been watching for awhile that we think our readers would enjoy. It focuses exclusively on pre-1970s restaurants and bars that are still in their original state. Occasionally, there are updates on when folks can make a big difference in saving a historic vintage landmark so stay plugged in!

It mainly focuses on the many sites in Los Angeles, California, but has extended to includes spots in Nevada, Maryland, Washington and beyond.So, go look up a historic place and show up in your vintage clothing! It would make a great retro photo!

Another great place brought to our attention recently is the KFC in Marietta, GA. Lizzie wrote about it recently, and if you are driving through, go take a look!

Here is the ultimate gift for that special gal!

The iconic black dress Audrey Hepburn wore is going on sale.

According to stylist Phillip Bloch, the most memorable black dresses of all time are:

  • Princess Diana’s strapless dress that she wore for her first public appearance with Prince Charles in 1981.
  • Audrey Hepburn’s Holly Golightly’s dress in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.”
  • Marilyn Monroe’s sequined, spaghetti-strap dress that she wore onstage to entertain U.S. troops in Korea in 1954.
  • Betty Boop’s skimpy dress that barely covered her Mae West-inspired curves in the 1930s’ cartoons “Red Hot Mama” and “Stop the Show.”

    • Now that you are considering the dress….
