  7. Stand out with a vintage dress…

    April 4, 2013 by 16stone

    Hello out there! I just wanted to show off one of my favorite vintage pieces in my closet. I wore this vintage Saks Fifth Avenue dress earlier this week while working on a new pilot for the CBS network. Check out me and my friend Shay who played a press reporter in the scene. Vintage wardrobe really makes you stand out. Because of this dress, I was put directly in the scene with the main actors just because the director wanted to make sure the dress was seen on camera! Make an impression, don’t forget to visit our etsy shop for rare vintage finds.

  8. 1957′s Duke Men’s Magazine

    March 29, 2013 by 16stone

    In the summer 1957, Duke Magazine was released featuring pin ups and articles centered towards African American men. The magazine targeted their consumer experience and encouraged them to take a look at the life of luxury. It featured short stories, poetry, and full fashion spreads. Notable writers like James Baldwin contributed to the magazine and Sammy Davis Jr. modeled suits. The Chicago based magazine only lasted 6 issues before eventually folding. Below are covers of all 6 issues along with pin up feature of Elenor Crews, “Duchess of the Month.”

     Many people don’t know that Jet Magazine actually started to do nude pin up calendars after a while. The advertisements included order forms and usually appeared in the first few issues of the year as well as the last issues of the year. The calendars were in full color and for adults only. Copies of the calendars are extremely rare.
