Who are you and where are you located?
Vintage Heaven in Northeast PA. I live in a cottage style home circa 1900's. I wear vintage pieces everyday & have had people literally buy the clothes off my back! What can be more fun than that?
What is your shop's specialty?
1950's Rockabilly is my fav but I do have everything from turn of the century to 80's and current high end designer pieces. I like an ecclectic mix of funky and refined. I select my vintage by asking myself, ''Would I wear this?'' If the answer is YES, I know it will be fabulous for you!
List your favorite fashion designers, decades or looks.
Schiaparelli & CHANEL. Nanette Lepore, Tom Ford, Stella McCartney, Alexander McQueen, current indie DIY labels like Bettie Page, Mod Merr, EC Star, STOP STARING, Revamp, Steady, Knuckleheads, Ed Hardy.
What favorite items are currently in your closet?
My collection of vintage Enid Collins Purses & her papier mache jewelry, pencil skirts, and heels, I am a pipsqueak so...the higher the better...
What will your new shop feature?
Hopefully my new clothing line, original designs from the 40's and 50's, vintage clothing and jewelry, and a few vintage kitch items for the home as well as vintage fabrics and trims. I will also sell select vintage reproduction in limited quantity.
Here's a bit more about me...
Just a small town gal who loves the unusual, the unpredictible, the majikal...I live so many lives, but for now, I am a mum, vintage clothing dealer, and friend.
I am a Heinz 57, I don't fit any category. I like the simple good stuff...my princess Bea... my cat Taco 13, kona coffee, music, nature, art, designing & selling vintage clothing, travel, LUSH Black Pearl Bath Bombs, vintage hot rods, pin-up photgraphy, entrepreneurial spirit & philanthropy, coloring outside the lines, cowboys, shaking things up, animals, rockclimbing, vintage sailor art, power tools, cooking, tapas, roadtrips, affection & love on demand... (kidding...or am I?) All around know-it-all and smart a**!
The country on the farm, poetry, black & white photography, Barcelona, tattoos, birds, books, sleeping in, soft jeans, natural light, romantic notions, boldness, laughing till my sides hurt, true words, star shapes, and vintage fashion & design.
Self proclaimed geek. I have alot of nicknames. Thanks for my favorites... Runway, Hot Rod, Harlot, Snow White, and Biscuit.
I love terms of endearment, if I like you, I will rarely call you by your real name. My burlesque name is Kitty La Rue. I love burlesque, its so sexy.
I take my time letting people know who I am. I already know who I am and what I want, do you? I am a tough cookie...driven, and successful. I am not impressed by anything other than being your true self.
I adore good natured, quirky, flirty, people with heart. I take friendship seriously. Ladies should be celebrated! I am an envelope pusher. Life is all about the little things. I want my questions answered with more than one word. I am justice driven. Mental foreplay is better than any other.
THINGS I'll do without: Organized religion, bigots, liars, jealousy...it makes the most beautiful people ugly, bad kids, ungenuine anything, suits, drugs, words that mean nada, masochists, wolves in sheeps clothing, back hair, watches & what they tell, spying, passing the buck, empty boxes, chocolate milk, sanity, sloths, passive agressiveness, melancholy, hangovers, people who collect people, living in the states (Spain...here I come!), toxic people, people just getting by, indecisiveness, meat markets, low self worth, headaches, and question marks.
REMEMBER:
The greatest expectation is not to have any.....Be kind to people who cross your path... have patience & empathy... do good...and always have passion & love for something bigger than yourself. If all that fails, f*ck it.
