TIME WARP LIVING
Time Warp Living
Is a retro movement where both men and women have taken radical action to escape what they see as the hectic grind of modern life. Past eras had their share of difficulties. Could it be that these timewarpians have overly romanticized the past, or were those times really better than our own? You decide.

TIME WARP WIVES LETTER
July 2009
We are delighted to have you over at Time Warp Wives. We thank all for your emails and your many comments!
Summer is here and it seems like everyone is outside having fun in the sun! Time to pack the bag and run to the beach!
And while your at it, don't forget to pack that Coppertone Nutra Shield. This new skin protection lotion promotes natural skin repair and also prevents premature aging. You don't want to look like a prune after being in the sun, right?
It's been several years that perhaps you haven't worn your swimsuit. You always dread this moment. You take out from your drawer that awful looking swimsuit that is so out of style. You realized that is time to go swimsuit shopping. You then go through your short list of what you want.
You want a swimsuit that is:
* Stylish, Retro and Unique
* Proper and Modest
* Fits Perfect
* Flattering for any figure
And the winner are Delia's and Retro Bathing Suits! At Delia's you will find brand new and affordable bathing suits. And at Retro Bathing Suits you will find vintage bathing suits from different decades. This time finding the right bathing suit will be exciting and not dreadful!
Make sure also to bring you swim cap. That way your hair will be nice and dry later that evening for your drive-in movie date. Now you will be ready to take that plunge!
We are thrilled to announce our latest interview guest Charlotte! This nostalgic woman longs for great music, fantastic movies, beautiful clothes, and times when men where gentlemen and women behaved like ladies. You can read more about Charlotte at our Time Warp Wives interview page!
Have you read our latest interviewees? We had such a delightful interview with Lady Estelle Barada! You will love to read about how this true Victorian Lady lives and her passion for life! Meet Trevlin, a passionate and adventurous man who appreciates the old-fashioned upbringing and family values. If you haven't yet read our previous guest interview you are welcome to do so at our Interview Page.
Here at Time Warp Wives we are always looking for inspirations. In July we want to share our Working Woman of the month: Gabriela Hernandez founder of the Besame Cosmetics. You will be so motivated to embrace your own dreams when you watch Gabriela's Lifetime story!

Special Guest
Interview with Joanne Massey
When Joanne Massey aka Lola Lamour was approached by the producers of the “Time Warp Wives” to be part of the documentary, she was promised lots of coverage of her singing career as Lola Lamour. Instead the show concentrated on the housewife aspect of her life and nothing more. Joanne was not only disappointed but also felt misrepresented in the documentary and so she wants to set the record straight as to who she really is.
