In other news, thanks to Frock Talk and Allie Murphy for the shout out to Vintrowear.  Both sharing our love of costuming, Frock Talk is dedicated to reviewing costumes in tv and movies, and has great interviews with costume designers, including our friend Susan Lyall.  Allie Murphy is a Renaissance Woman who can sew, illustrate and play the mandolin.  Oh, and she likes cowboys as much as we do!

Silver Moon Beam Hostess Goddess Mumu: As Seen at Holy Name Thrift Store

Read original post.

Someone needs to light up the night this New Year’s Eve in this sparkling get-up:

Silver Sparkle Hostess Gown

It’s long, it’s got rhinestone buttons, and it’s something Endora might wear if she were visiting outer space.

Would you like a closer look?  Make sure you’re wearing your 2012 sunglasses.

What are you doing for New Year’s Eve?  The Vintrowear family will be knocking back champagne and thanking our lucky stars for the phantasmagorical 2011 we just had.  Many thanks to the gods and goddesses (you know who you are!) who made the Vintrowear store possible.

Chris Isaak: the ultimate cowboy shirt spokesperson

Chris Isaak

Chris Isaak opines to the Honolulu Weekly about Eyes Wide Shut, Stevie Nicks, and Hawaii.  And of course western shirts:
I love snap shirts. I always stop at Rockmount Western Wear when I’m in Denver and end up buying a bunch of cowboy shirts. I guess my taste in shirts has been the same since I was a kid.
Get your Rockmount vintage cowboy shirts at our Vintrowear Etsy store.

And speaking of Chris Isaak and Etsy, Bandito Rockabilly’s Etsy store sells custom cowboy shirts in cool prints, modeled here by none other than Chris Isaak himself!
