Soooooo it's no Madonna behind-the-tour documentary (I can watch Truth or Dare over and over and never get bored), but this mini-doc still gives us some insight into Katy Perry's 2011 tour. Like, there will be a cupcake dress. And a "colossal hot dog."

? Day 67 of Vintage 365 ?
While there is undeniable much to be said for photos (and illustrations) of vintage fashions (and indeed, I love such things with an immeasurable passion!), it's also fantastic when you get a chance to see video of clips of yesteryear clothing, too.
Fashion show film clips provide a tantalizing look back at how vintage clothes appeared from all angles, how they draped on the wearer's figure, and (often, assuming the model walked around) how they looked when someone was moving about.
I find vintage fashion show clips to such a stellar glimpse at the past. The models in such films usually sported very au courant hair and make-up styles, in addition to the latest garments, hats, shoes and accessories - which means that they can be the perfect source of inspiration if you want to very accurately recreate a vintage look from a certain decade or even, in some instances a specific year.
Today's clip is definitely a winner for many reasons. Not only does it show an array of beautiful 1930s fashions, it features commentary by each model on the respective outfit she's wearing, and perhaps most delightfully, it's in colour. Colour (Hollywood) movies were fairly rare in the 30s, and film clips of fashion shows from that era (especially the early part of the decade) true are an uncommon site to behold.
This engaging two and a half minute 1930s fashion show film is sure to appeal to fans of the decade, as well as to vintage clothing lovers in general, as it really does feel like you're right there with the models as they describe their pretty (and may I add, entirely wearable) outfits (many of which would be perfect for the spring and summer season we're heading into now).

On tonight's American Idol, we'll learn who is going to end up in the Top 10.
We see that Marc Anthony was their mentor this week, giving them some feedback about how to use the stage and the in-ear mikes and all kinds of stuff. (We also see that he didn't always agree with wife Jennifer Lopez's feedback. Hmm.)
The group sing follows with the Motown theme from last night with "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," though there seem to be a few technical issues (Lauren and Casey's part, when they're in the stands, is quite quiet in the middle). Then a door opens, and there's Stevie Wonder! He sings "Signed Sealed Delivered" with the Top 11, and I think it was a bit of surprise for the judges because they look pretty stunned. Love it! Speaking of surprises, Stevie makes Steven Tyler stand up and they start singing "Happy Birthday," presenting him with a painting and a cake.
Ford music video, blah blah, let's get to the results:

Spring - if only in name - will be upon us less than a week, my wonderful dears! This year, as it does in most, spring launches on the 20th of March. My mind, however, has already been filled with thoughts of spring and all of the marvelous fashions it entails for many weeks already.
I think it was around the middle of February, when my husband and I were kept awake for yet another night by the horrendously loud, screeching wind that rattles through our metallic balcony doors, that visions of light-as-air spring dresses, Easter candy hued cardigans, peep toe shoes, and dainty white wrist-length gloves began to waft through my head.
It's funny, in a way, there was a time when I preferred cold weather fashions to their warmer season counterparts, however these days I'm all about dressing for spring and summer! (Ok, truth be told there are pros and cons to both warm and cold weather fashion, but it seems that with each harsh-as-sandpaper Canadian winter I get through, the more I want to kick off my snow shoes and run barefoot - in a vintage sundress - through a field of wildflowers!)
Luckily my modest sized wardrobe is comprised of several dresses, skirts and tops that work wonders for spring. Yet that doesn't mean I'm not continually on the prowl for vintage springtime fashion inspiration - and where, when one is seeking such inspiration, is the amongst the best sources to turn to? Why, the French of course!
{Richly pretty vintage Le Petit Echo de la Mode magazine cover via april-mo on Flickr.}
Masters for centuries of all things divinely stylish, the French have long had a certain fashion je ne sais quoi that has been marveled at, adopted and adored the world over. Such was definitely the case when this 1952 copy of Le Petit Echo de la Mode magazine first appeared, sporting a cover adorned with two immensely elegant women in New Look-esque springtime styles.
From the feminine lines of these two womens' outfits to the chic little handbags, black and white polka dot gloves (*swoon*) to the bright red nail polish, everything about this gorgeous French magazine serenades the viewer with a hearty dose of stunning vintage European style and inspiration that is equally worthy of both spring 1952 and spring 2011.

? Day 83 of Vintage 365 ?
There is something undeniably magical about the subject of typography. A great deal of the material we've read and written - on the most ordinary of things like cereal box packaging to incredibly important documents like marriage certificates - in our lives has been printed, and thus had a typeface of one kind or another. Many fonts are fairly mundane; they're beautiful and handy workhorses, but they're not not exactly the typographic equivalent of Elizabeth Taylor's diamonds.
I'm fascinating by fonts - especially antique and vintage ones, or those modern equivalents that look as if they could have easily appeared on a billboard sixty years ago. Delving in the art of scrapbooking last autumn really stirred up my interest in typography and the world of fonts again, and as one might imagine, I went hunting for a trove of vintage fonts.
Numerous websites provided lists of free fonts that have an old school bent to them, but by far the best list I encountered was one called 40 Free Fonts Ideal For Retro And Vintage Designs on the site bluefaqs.
Don't let the word "retro" potentially put you off of checking this page - which comes complete with a colourful example of each font in use (such as the classically lovely "Diner Regular" below) ? out. Though some of the 40 fonts are a bit better suited to the 60s and 70s, many of them truly look as though they really could have been plucked from the rip-roaring 20s, art deco 30s, fast paced 40s, or chicly elegant 50s. (All forty fonts are delightfully free and can be downloaded from various free font websites.)
I look at this collection of vintage fonts and my mind goes into creative overdrive! I'm struck by the urge to suddenly print personal stationery, create cover pages for everything I type right down to my grocery lists, knock out scrapbook page after vintage font adorned scrapbook page, send my pen pals letters in old school fonts, and escape into a typographical haze in which I forget entirely that such commonplace fonts as Times New Roman or Arial even exist.
Swing by this great list, my dears, and treat yourself to a bevy of gorgeous free vintage fonts - I can promise you that you'll come up for tons of wonderfully creative uses for oodles of them.

This June, Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe will receive The Trevor Project's Hero Award for raising awareness of the non-profit group dedicated to supporting gay, lesbian, transgendered and bisexual youths.
The 21-year-old told The Associated Press: “It’s fantastic. The fact that they think of what I’ve done by promoting awareness of the Trevor Project itself and the issues that it works to promote and help is a great honor…the people that are doing the heroic things are the people answering phones 24 hours a day in the Trevor call centers. I think that out of everything that I have done so far in my career, I think this is absolutely one of the most important, if not the most important, thing that I’m associated with.”
To learn more about Radcliffe and his work with the Trevor Project, there’s a great video available here, or you can join the Trevor Project on Facebook.

British comic actor Hugh Laurie was always a regular face on the BBC’s Comic Relief charity specials, and he went on to co-found the Band From TV, a charity musical group composed of TV stars. The band’s charity trust provides funding and resources to projects including the Pediatric Epilepsy Project, Save the Children and The Art of Elysium.
But as a sometime sufferer of clinical depression, Laurie’s charitable passion seems to be mental illness. Laurie and the supporting cast of House, in which he stars, are selling t-shirts featuring the screen psychologist’s truism “Everybody Lies”, and donating the profits to mental health charities.
The National Alliance on Mental Illness is a primary beneficiary, and is dedicated to improving the quality of life of mental illness sufferers, and to researching methods of prevention and, ultimately, cures for mental illnesses.

? Day 77 of Vintage 365 ?
Ok, let me try this again...You see, I had just finished writing today's post and was moments away from publishing it online when the desktop application (Window's Live Writer) that I use to write Chronically Vintage's posts in suddenly crashed. Despite having saved the draft I was working on a few times during its creation, it seems to have been lost completely! (Computers, can't live with 'em... 
)
As the days tick closer to spring's return, my mind seems to be focusing ever more on the joys of a warm weather vintage wardrobe. Though I wore more of my spring and summer dresses through the colder months this year than ever before (aided by sweaters, blouses, tights, etc to help keep winter's biting chill at bay), certain frocks haven't seen the light of day since early autumn and are eager to breath in the soothing spring air once more.
I know that many of you (and your wardrobes) are equally jazzed about the fact that we'll soon be able to trade in our snow boots for sandals, and are likely looking to add a few new members to your vintage springtime clothing family.
It's scarcely a secret that's really only a small handful (way too few!) of sellers out there that deliver plus size vintage and vintage reproduction fashions, which is utterly nuts, if you ask me, given the gorgeous range of sizes and shapes vintage fashionistas come in!
Fortunately there are a few reliable sources of plus size vintage (and vintage reproduction/inspired) clothing to be found, one of which is (well-known chain) Torrid.
While Torrid's pieces often veer more on the of-the-moment trendy meets rockabilly inspired aesthetic, some of their pieces are more classically vintage inspired - such as today's lovely black and white cherry and anchor print dress.
This marvellously feminine frock features a playful - yet wholly elegant - cut and pattern, in two colours (black and white) that are endlessly easy to dress up or down to your heart's content. This sleeveless, pretty dress features a generously full skirt, fitted bodice, charming cherry and anchor print pattern, and is made from 97% cotton/3% spandex.
Available in Torrid sizes 0 to 4 (size 0 is 10/12; size 1 is 14/16; size 2 is 18/20; size 3 is 20/22; size 4 is 24), this delightful 1950s pin-up inspired dress (which sells for $79.00 on Torrid's website) would be equally amazing on the first day of spring (worn perhaps with a cardigan and stockings) or on the toastiest August afternoon with a pair of vintage sunglasses and an ice cold drink in your hand.
Just think of this wonderful frock as your new, old-fashion inspired LBWD of spring and summer 2011!

All I can say is, FINALLY!
Two years after "the incident" with Rihanna, Chris has been trying to rebuild his career and image. His latest album F.A.M.E is said to be heading to the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 charts.
If sales hold up, it would give the singer his first No. 1 album, Billboard said.
Chris had apologised for his recent outburst at TV talk show where the host quizzed him about the assault on ex-girlfriend Rihanna.
"When the interview proceeded, I was thrown off," Chris told a radio station in a new interview. "I felt like, OK, they told us this to get us on the show and exploit me. I took it very, very hard. I kept my composure throughout the whole interview...And when I got back, I just let off, like, steam in the back. I didn't physically hurt anyone. I just wanted to release the anger inside me. I felt like I worked so hard for this music."
Looks like your hard work is paying off... now just don't go screw it up again.
