Collecting

[haha_on_me]

As 'promised' Kimono embroidery detail. It's only partial but you get the idea. The back is the most ornate . On this one it's currently facing the wall . Might seem strange but to me the front is far more interesting with it's physical contrasts in form and with the lining etc.

That is absolutely stunning. The Japanese do stunning work on their traditional items. I agree with you, the front is very ineresting with the pipping and buttons. I've always love the collars.

Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful photo.

Your collection is both amazing and unique . I have a respect for a genre I had never considered until now. Thank you.

Isn't it just the neatest thing?

I did! The San Francisco Chronicle's picture of Yvonne De Carlo was in her Munster wears. I don't like her as Lilly Munster... my grandmother mailed me the obit from the LA Times with her from a much earlier beauty shot. she really was a spectacular actress. thank you for calling my collection unusual and not sick (that's what i get a lot.) it means a lot to be among friends/people who can appreciate collecting things.

Yvonne was a rather beautiful woman. I loved her as Lilly, but I've seen photos of her when she was young, and she was absolutely beautiful. I'm glad you were able to obtain a suitable obit for her.

And I wouldn't think your hobby is sick at all. It's quite interesting. It's no different than someone collecting old movies or autographs.

Yeah, I suppose that would be a major coup, and quite the conversational piece to boot.

Eight years have passed since this thread was last replied in. I read through it, wondered about the beautiful people, and their interesting collections. Are they still here? Are they still collecting? Have their tastes in collections changed? Do new contributors want to chime in with their collections?


Me? I still collect what I did then, just not as active. I suppose the newest item for me, would be small animal traps. I am currently collecting them, taking them out of service, and plan to weld them together and make a gate for my fence.
