So….I’m home sick with the flu and I had this overwhelming desire for new earrings.  I think it’s due to my lack of new purchases for myself since I started selling vintage.  I decided I would make myself some, since I used to dibble and dabble in jewelry making.  I ended up reconstructing/re purposing some jewelry findings that I had from damaged vintage pieces.  These little tribal beauties are what I came up with! I think I might make a few more while the spirit moves me.  Waddya think?

Okay…something a little lighter than the previous videos.  So…I’m an avid thrifter and besides the clothes that you see me reblog from my vintage blog Thelma’s Vanity, which I get in part from thrifting, I also find awesome vintage home goods and other random ephemera that my inner hoarder won’t allow me to leave behind.  I’ve been thrifting since I was about 13 with my mother and her fellow professor colleague and I’m in my late 20’s now, so you can imagine the craziness that I’ve accumulated.  Thought I would share some of that with you all in addition to the fashion stuff. 

Here we have a vintage table lighter by Haegar from the 1960’s.  It’s still in working condition and I could fill the fuel container and offer to light someone’s cigar, but I think I’ll just use it as decor instead.

Me and Korto Momolu backstage at Africa Underground this past Friday at the National Museum of African Art in DC.  I was a MUA for Cote Minou, but I had to get a snapshot with my fellow Liberian!  I’m wearing a vintage ball skirt, with a beaded vintage belt, and a lace body suit from Forever 21!
