Glamour, girls. It's all about glamour. Here is where I will share those feminine things that I find so special
about being a woman in the 1950's and the 1960's. From my private collection and on display in my home, here you'll
find glamorous Pin-Up Queens like Bettie Page, vintage full-fashioned hosiery displays and advertising memorablia; selections
from my collection of over 300 pairs of shoes and 4,000 pairs of vintage nylon stockings including some rare fetish and
collector's items (as featured in Leg Show Magazine some years ago!); vintage corsets, girdles, lacy garter belts and
bras; miniature collectible shoes; and of course, my favorite 1950's fashion trend -- leopard print clothes,
handbags, shoes and accessories! Which just happen to be coming back into style! This is all for fun.
Here's hoping you enjoy it as much as I do!
Shoes, Shoes Shoes...what can I say...I just love them. There's nothing better than a classic
stiletto to exude class and style and attract the attention of at least 50% of the men of the world. Walking in stilettos
feels like nothing else I can describe. There is a fluid, gliding movement, a swaying of the hips, an upright and
proud posture and the knowledge that you will make a statement no matter where you are. The girl who has mastered her
heels has attitude and confidence that all can see. Rest assured, stiletto heels will turn heads
and make your legs look great. Check out the Shoes and More Shoes page and use the link
to see even more fabulous and sexy shoes at my other website including Polly of California mules and
the always sexy and seductive Spring-o-lator! There are even photos of glamourous pin-ups wearing
these classic shoes from the 1950's and 1960's!

They call it "Good Girl Art", the pinup art style of the
WW II and post-war era. Most notable was the Vargas pin-up that appeared in Playboy magazine, but it was preceded by
Vargas' and others work in Esquire Magazine and "pulp" magazines. Some of the famous and collectible artists that
I like include George Petty ("the Petty Girl"), Peter Driben, Fritz Willis and my favorite, Gil Elvgren.
Elvgren's art was featured on calendars, advertising blotters (pre-ballpoint pen days), playing cards and numerous other promotional
items. His style most often featured the fresh-faced girl-next-door in a situation that revealed her stocking
tops, garter belt and high heels. Good Girl Art flourished in the late 40's thru early 60's, and has been reprised
recently by female pin-up artist Olivia who is now featured in Playboy.
First Time Visitor?
If you happen to have surfed or Googled your way here, I invite you to look through the site;
after all there must have been a search word which brought you here that we share a common interest in! But the "Dear
Diary" section probably wouldn't be of any interest to you; for all I know it probably is of no interest to anyone else who
visits here! If you are a to-die-for fan of vintage shoes, especially Spring-o-lators and
Polly of California mules, then go to Shoes and More Shoes and find the link
to my other website devoted to those precious and sexy mules! If you are someone I have met and invited
to come and visit, just sit back and enjoy this time-capsule of the 1950's and 1960's from my perspective.

Style-Sighting! There is nothing sexier than the famous "little black dress"
and a pair of black stiletto pumps. Are weddings held in Pittsburgh's downtown hotels providing eye-candy at the nightspots
or competition for compliments and more? We'll just have to see if this trend continues.
Rating: girls in little black dresses & F-M pumps *****
Style-Sighting! Driving thru Pittsburgh's Night Club Mecca "The Strip District"
while on my way to go dancing at Lucky's always has its share of hottie eye candy strolling the sidewalks. But
the best yet was the couple riding a motorcycle down Penn Avenue at 1am in the morning. The young lady was
wearing a flowing dress and stiletto high heels while stradling the back seat of the rice-burner. I tried to get their picture
but they sped away! Rating: You GO Girl! *****
Style-Sighting! Continuing Kudo's to Macy's fabulous shoe departments at
Ross Park, Robinson Town Center, Monroeville and Century III Mall. I must plan for a day out and a visit to one
of these stores for some Robyn quality time.

Style-Sighting! A recent (2005) issue of Vogue has
a section devoted to what's hot and what's not. Now in the middle of 2007, it is still going strong,
especially in shoes! Animal prints are Hot! And they are classic. Are they just finding that out?
DUH! As you may well know, I am not a slave to fashion. But in this case, I guess I will just have to wear my
animal print outfits and shoes for any and all seasons!

WHAT'S NEW
IN VINTAGE GLAMOUR
What's new is BIG NEWS! I now have DSL and it's Good News and
Bad News! The bad news is that I will close this website by the end of December or
January at the latest. There may not be an immediate replacement for my Vintage Glamour website so I
encourage all of my readers to bookmark the Yahoo 360 link below and also the Flickr! site link on the Dear Diary page.
I will be using those for the forseeable future while I first rebuild my internationally famous shoe website (it really
is!) at a new Windstream URL. Looks like I will have to learn HTML code...so nothing is going to happen
overnight!
"Dear Diary" on this site and on my Yahoo 360 is
updated weekly with photos and recollections from each weekend night out with the girls and guys here in Pittsburgh. Stop
by the page called "Shoes and More Shoes" that has a link to my website devoted to Spring-o-lators
and Polly of California high heel mules! And check out the sexy and glamorous pin-up photos there, too!
(those admirers with a foot fetish shouldn't miss the Satan in High Heels pix!) And a special welcome to
all who have stumbled onto this site via a search. This site's purpose is to present a variety of topical items,
including transgenderism, in good taste for both the uninitiated and those who share in this lifestyle. Better
to learn about us here than from that trash on daytime television! I hope you enjoy your visit, but don't
let your "I.T. Police" see you spending all day here! --Robyn
As this is a free site hosted by Earthlink, it tends to reach its maximum allowed
visits well before the end of each month. Make a note of my Yahoo 360 address below where I also post Dear Diary,
in the event this site is down. And hopefully it will be reset on the first day of the next month.
Do you love sexy shoes, both contemporary and vintage? Check out the
new "Shoes and More Shoes" section. It really is a "link page" for my new website featuring Spring-o-lators and the very sexy shoes known as Polly
of California glamour mules! Look for the link...in pink!
Why didn't I think of this sooner! Dear Diary will now have a
listing of what's coming up in the 'Burgh including drag shows, guest DJ's and theatrical events that might be of interest.
Even if I can't go, maybe you can!
