Lingerie or Linger? The Art of Vintage Intimacy

Have you ever noticed how Lingerie is Linger with an 'ie'? Gotta give them something to linger over and in the old days we did exactly that. I mean, there are the rip-your-clothes-off moments, but then there's the slow undress...

More Than Just Fabric – A Timeless Romance

Let's take a moment to pay our respects to Nylon Nostalgia, a site that's more romantic than a candlelit dinner in Paris. I've spent countless hours browsing through their slips, each one whispering stories of elegance, each stitch a symbol of artistry. It's an addictive collection, just like the wisdom in your grandma's stories.

Grandma's Closet – A Portal to Elegance

Speaking of grandma, I found this exquisite slip in my own grandmother's closet. She's 101 now, and the slip's not much younger. Isn't it beautiful? Don't answer; just linger over that thought. The intricate leaves, the delicate shades of pink, and the timeless charm take you back to a time when elegance was not a statement but a way of life. My grandmother had cut the bottom of it off which I hemmed back up so it is shorter than the original,

The Legacy of Lingerie – A Philosophical Undressing

Lingerie. It's not just about what you wear but how you wear it. It's not just about how you look but how you feel. And vintage lingerie? It's a timeless embrace, an elegant tease, and a lesson in history, all sewn into one delicate piece of fabric.

Let the vintage romance take over, and remember the era when we didn't just wear lingerie to show skin; we wore art, emotion, and a little bit of our souls.
One of my favorite online stores is of course Nylon Nostalgia.

How Not To Look Frumpy

Finding Fashion Anarchy in the Age of Gray: The Elliott Way of Maximalist Fashion Turning 57, I found myself stuck in a style rut, feeling less than attractive and frumpy. My once vibrant fashion sense had been swapped for sweats, creating a disconnection with my fashion instincts. A friend, Snow, introduced me to her  old acquaintance Elliot, who was setting Instagram on fire with her vivacious style. One glimpse at Elliott, a woman roughly my age looking like she'd walked out of a fashion fever dream – and I was immediately hooked. Elliott wasn't just strutting her style; she was sprinting a damn marathon with it. I thought to myself, "Holy guacamole! I need to know her secret." I decided to reach out to Elliott for a conversation about her unique fashion perspective. Meet Elliott: She Puts the 'Max' in Maximalist Fashion Elliott's style evolution didn't start overnight; she didn’t just wake up one morning, raid a technicolor vintage store

Hecate: A Patron Goddess for Aging Women

Image
  As we age, it can be challenging to feel seen or valued in a society that emphasizes youth and beauty. At Bitter Threads, I am celebrating aging women and challenging societal expectations that lead to feelings of invisibility. That's why I have chosen Hecate as our patron goddess - she embodies the strength, wisdom, and resilience we hope to inspire in women of all ages. There are several qualities and associations that make her an ideal representative for us. Wisdom and Experience As a mature goddess, Hecate represents the wisdom and experience of age. She is often depicted as a guide or mentor, leading others through dark or difficult times. For aging women, this representation is powerful and vital, as it reminds us that our age brings a wealth of knowledge and insight that should be celebrated. Independence and Self-Reliance Hecate was often associated with independence and self-reliance. In ancient Greece, she was worshiped by women living alone or outside traditional famil

Jacki Gethner | Matter Of Fact Approach To Aging

Image
During my brief but memorable encounter with Jacki Gethner at a local writer's café, I was drawn to her candid style of communication.   Our conversation covered a range of topics, but what stood out to me was Jacki's dedication to helping people affected by illness to become advocates for their own health. Jacki faced the challenge of living with Hepatitis C and spent many years trying to access medical treatment. Unfortunately, her efforts were unsuccessful due to her age and state restrictions. It wasn't until she reached the age of 65 and became eligible for Medicare that she was finally able to receive the treatment she needed. Despite the struggles with her own health, Jacki has dedicated her career to supporting and educating individuals with a wide range of health challenges. As a licensed massage therapist and Reiki Master, Jacki specializes in somatic therapy and teaches individuals skills to overcome barriers specific to their population. Her expertise has been p
