MICHELE OBAMA IN HER VINTAGE NORMAN NORELL

Courageous Michelle Obama has done something no first lady has ever done before – she actually wore a second hand dress to a major event in Washington! She wore a 1950’s cocktail dress designed by American designer Norman Norell to a Christmas in Washington concert. It’s believed to have come from the shop New York Vintage. Vintage designer fashion has been quietly growing in popularity because celebrities want something different and these glamorous fashions are beautifully made and one of a kind. How delightful to have such a hip and imaginative first lady. This will be the talk of the fashion world.

Elizabeth Taylor Liza Todd Vintage

VINTAGE ELIZABETH TAYLOR AS A CONCERNED MOTHER

Our astute friend Stephen Saban at The Wow Report discovered a treasure trove of old celebrity photographs from sometime around the 50’s and 60’s, and we have never seen this one of Elizabeth Taylor looking concerned about her daughter Liza Todd on the set of some movie. Poor Liza inherited more of her father’s looks (Mike Todd) than her mother’s, but she grew up to be an artist and sculptor and now lives in upstate New York, far from Hollywood.

Dita Von Teese Fashion Supermarket Vintage

DITA VON TEESE: EXTRAORDINARY PEOPLE IN ORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES

We were shopping at the Mayfair Market in Hollywood this weekend when we saw a beautifully dressed woman perusing the magazines. It was Dita Von Teese and she looked amazing. No supermarket sweats for her – she was dressed in a gorgeous vintage fitted within-an-inch-of-her-life grey tweed belted dress with ¾ sleeves, a full skirt and fifties heels. Her hair was up in a perfect twist and her makeup was flawless (even in supermarket lighting!) We couldn’t resist telling her she is a favorite on our website and urged her to visit. We loved it when she said sweetly “I DO visit your website!”

Fifty year old Brad Garrett’s mid-life crisis is paying off. The “Everybody Loves Raymond” actor divorced his wife in 2006 and became the proud owner of this mint green 1956 Jaguar. (And a sweater to match!) At 6’8” we imagine the vehicle’s a tight fit for him. The vintage car appears to be a chick magnet – take a look at his gorgeous girlfriend.

SIMON COWELL AND HIS FIANCE CONSIDER BUYING A VINTAGE CAR

A car salesman gave Simon Cowell and his fiancee Mezhgan Hussainy an earful at the vintage car lot, “Hollywood Classics,” in West Hollywood. The couple spent over an hour inspecting the cars, and they concentrated most of their time considering the assets of two Jaguars and a black and red classic Corvette.
