I lovelovelovelove reading about deadlyvintage.com & my clothes in ze blogospherre.
Sometimes, though, I arrive at the party months late....

A recent websurf-derailment led me to an early Spring of 2010 Tumblr post I had somehow missed :
my bust-hugger, early 70's ALLEY CAT red-bird sweater was featured in Fuck Yeah Ugly Sweaters" >>> http://fuckyeahuglysweaters.tumblr.com, a tumblr by "five kooky kids, living in Berkeley, California, and buying ugly sweaters like they're going out of style..." <<< the name of which speaks for itself.

A short time later sentiments regarding my redbird sweater were delicately reiterated/defended by I Eat Buttons For Breakfast http://ieatbuttonsforbreakfast.blogspot.com.

Under the heading "Ugly for some, cute for meeee", said blogger giggled,

Yahoo-o-o, I've been blogged by http://chichiandthegreek.blogspot.com. AT LAST.

According to miss chi chi…

Thank you so! And vice versa... because after you drew me into your clutches I spent about an hour wandering and salivating over your vintage delectables. Junk & sugar, indeed!

Alright --- coming up this winter: recycled packaging, modelz!!, and the occasional editorial e-spread. Love, Betsy

Alert: march 14-21 will see deadly v's mad mad mad vintage denim sale: jackets, jeans, and one jeans jumpsuit (all dating from the 1940's to the 70's) *also* campus boots, a 50's lacey-Cinderella party dress and the most adorable 60's era Mickey Mouse "pin-up" sweater --- all items start at $9.99.

I've a number of 70's jumpsuits to be listed here soon. Also, a Swirl wrap dress & more 40's pieces. I've committed to men's TIES now --- come see the tie parade snake through my site. And… lots of early-70's, 30s-inspired maxi dresses to come.

Occasionally, as regards my collection, I have a revelation of feeling. A cold disdain for those I once loved..….

I've j-u-s-t zipped through my inventory, slashing prices a zig zag.

Voil à the saving s! Please, push a few buttons & make these garments yours, treasure them as they deserve. Love, Betsy

Thanks for a-l-l your patience during my revamp --- especially to those who stayed with me during my month-long clothing blackout.

Things are working now, I have a new shopping cart, a new digital camera (yay, color precision!), and have started listing again. Plans for the spring include: switching to 100% recycled packaging materials & a donation pledge. I'm planning to donate to a garment-industry related cause + by all means drop a line if you have suggestion/s.

Items to be listed soon: Missoni print chiffon dress, prairie tops & teddy bear sweaters, a 70's unbleached formal, 60's mini dresses, a late-40's angora/boucle sweater, David Crystal & Cyn Les items & more 80's kitsch.

We are undergoing a design revamp --- page by page --- and staying open for business.

Please bear with me. I will bring you a more streamlined and delicious shopping play-time… soon.

No new items will be added the next few weeks, but I continue to run auctions on eBay.

Up right now, one pair of banana & electric blue Converse sneaks from the 70's!!!

I love spirited bidding thus all my eBay auctions start at o-n-e l-i-t-t-l-e c-e-n-t. Last week I auctioned off the beautifully embroidered Frye boots you see in the start page.

Good luck bidding. Dv will return to normality by early December.

Welcome to the beginnings of deadlyvintage.com.
I'm delighted you've stopped by.

I choose all my treasures carefully. Everything in the shop has been hand-picked by my nose for the love of Texture! Pattern! Theatricality! & Nostalgia! & every piece celebrates an e-x-t-r-a-v-a-g-a-n-c-e of one of those traits. I heart fashion kitsch. I'm color-mad & chase down bold textiles and graphic construction details. I adore the exquisiteness of a beautifully-crafted pattern and the individualistic perfume which comes so sweetly off anachronistic/historically-outmoded designs.
Follow me into my rabbit hole, darlings, and you'll find that your closet will never be the same.

What I have listed is just a smattering of my collection. Please bear with me as I fill the shop. Soon to come: a 50s Mary Martin cardigan, ridiculous 80s Victor Costa gowns, minis & maxis, lots of 60s-era British Hong Kong stuffs, Lanvin, mod Jonathan Logan, Missoni, 80s retro sundresses, slips & neghligees, 40s crepes & rayons, menswear and other yummys.

Questions? Preferences? Spare thoughts? Send an email to me, won't you… Love, Betsy
