Name's Cat. I'm an L.A. gal who loves everything from classic movie queens to pinups to classic horror. My likes vary a lot. Having said that, I refuse to fit in a box or apologize for being me.
My inbox doesn’t work most of the time.
Please do not message me about following or promoting your blog or ask me how to get more followers. You are spamming people. And since we have nothing on common, the answer is no.
I’m Italian, Syrian, German and Swedish. Born and bred in L.A. Happily married.
The image in my icon/avatar is Traci Lords in Cry-Baby (1990).
The sidebar gif on my main page is from Disney’s Fantasia.
I have no interest in following people who just want to be popular. I follow blogs for their individuality and content.
I zero tolerance for drama queens and cliques on here.
I make my own gifs with photoshop.
Please do not repost other people’s edits, scans or gifs.
Some of us on here, take the time to BUY books, magazines, and other materials to scan and edit so we can share. Re-blogging is fantastic and please feel free to share! But saving the images and uploading them as you own is just rude. If you feel the need to blah blah blah about copyrights then you obviously don’t pay out of your pocket for anything you clearly don’t understand the frustration, and can therefore exit my blog.
If you have questions about this subject, send them here.
No I do not ever wish I could live in vintage eras. The racism, homophobia, medical practices, lack of women’s rights and many other HORRIBLE atrocities make it very far from “the good old days”. Though I do love the films, music and fashion I can’t abide the society and “social norms” of those times.
I don’t have twitter or facebook.
I’ve always been interested in vintage stuff. It stared with watching classic films and tv shows with my grandparents. I started buying books, vintage magazines and stills to scan years ago and continue to buy more every week to scan and share.
Favorite Stuff
Favorite types of music: Old punk, deathrock, industrial, some old goth, 80’s, old jazz and blues are my favs but I listen to everything. Well - except for newer music.
