Vintage JoAnn

Lately I’ve been amazed to talk to so many really young kids and young adults who are into the old classic movie stars and recording artists.

I enjoy chatting about them in the shop and let me tell you- some of these kids know their history.  I’ve sold pictures and memorabilia from Marilyn Monroe, Sinatra, Elvis, Bette Davis, Sophia Loren, Lauren Bacall, Audrey Hepburn, Humphry Bogart, Judy Garland, Joan Crawford, Fred Astaire and many, many others.

Last week a young customer brought in an autographed picture of Lauren Bacall to show me. She brought it in because she knew I would appreciate it it.  And I did!!

I also carry and sell a lot of books on stars and old hollywood too.

I think people long for a little glamour in their lives.  I always encourage them to create a little glamour in their lives.  It really doesn’t take much money,  just creativity and the self esteem to realize you are worth it!!!

Any how, I’m feeling a flash of fabulousness coming on right now  and I think I need to kick off the flip flops and slip into my maribou mules for a while.
