TWW JANUARY LETTER

2012-01-01T10:58:00.000-08:00

Welcome dear guests to Time Warp Wives! We are delighted to have you over.

We hope that you have been enjoying a wonderful month of January. I know can you believe that we are starting a new year! Whatever happened to the slow days of Summer when we had time for everything and when time seemed to last forever? That is why here at Time Warp Wives we love to take time to flavor and savor the simple and meaningful things of life. And we want our guest to also enjoy those little things that makes life worth living.

And what more than to enjoy those little things of life than to attend the 35 Art Deco Weekend. Yes, folks The Miami Design Preservation League Celebrates 35 Years of ART DECO WEEKEND! If you happen to visit Miami Beach Florida through January 13-15, 2012 you are sure to enjoy a fun treat for you and your family. For more information of the event please visit: Art Deco Weekend 2012.

And for all those fashionistas out there last year Vogue looks back 120 years of their magazine covers. It's interesting to see how taste in fashion has evolved over the years. And it's funny how some old styles have inspired many styles today. This month Vogue has an article about Downton Abbey: Edwardian Inspiration. The new season two of Downtown Abbey started this month of January on PBS. And if you would like to catch up on last seasons episodes you can by watching it online for a limited time at: Masterpiece: Downtown Abbey.

For several years I couldn't wear perfumes, but recently I am able to enjoy a small dab around my wrist. I have never owned a bottle of Chanel No. 5. I felt that because I just turned 40 that I should be entitled to indulge on a small luxury that I haven't enjoyed before. So before I could spend $100 on a bottle of Chanel, I first wanted to make sure that I was really a Chanel girl.

So last month while visiting the mall I wanted to test the fragrance out. So I went to the counter and sprayed it on a piece of paper. Then after smelling the fragrance several times I knew that I was a Chanel girl. But then I remembered the recent commercial of Coco Mademoiselle. I was curious to see how this fragrance compared to Chanel No. 5 So I sprayed Coco Mademoiselle on another paper. And you know what I said, "I think I love this one better."

Although I do love Coco Mademoiselle better I am divided. The reason being because Chanel No.5 is not only a wonderful and lovely fragrance as well. But it is a classic. And you know how I love classic things. So before I could spend money on any one of these two perfumes I have to decide which one I should go with. In the meanwhile I could enjoy a whiff of these two fragrances from a piece of paper, until of course it fades away.

Don't forget to drop a line once in a while. We would love to hear from you!

See ya later toots!

Your Hostess,

Carmen Johnson

Bring me sunshine in your smile!

TWW SEPTEMBER LETTER

2011-09-01T20:08:00.000-07:00

Welcome dear guests to Time Warp Wives! We are delighted to have you over.

I have to say that I am totally excited that we are in September! Yay! This is when we start getting our fabulous outfits out from underneath our beds, attics, or basements and we start sneezing like crazy. I mean can somebody please pass me a tissue because I am having a sneeze attack here. Isn't Fall just great?

So about a week or so ago I saw the Missoni for Target commercial, which I thought was fantastic and super chic! I have seen the Missoni collection for many years and I have even seen interviews of the Missoni family in magazines and on the T.V. Although they have been around for about 50 years I never personally considered it's design brand my choice of preference. But then when I saw a few things from Target I thought, "Humm this looks a bit like a mod 60's style."

Last week my hubby's mom was visiting. So while hubby was at work us girls took a day off and went shopping. Mom wanted to go to TJ Max, which was next to Target. After we spend about an hour there. We both felt that it was about time to go and get a bite to eat. But because it was so boiling hot I suggested that we should past by Target and get some H2O.

While mom sat on the pizzeria place I grabbed our waters, some bananas, and a thing of California Sushi. While we were resting I thought about going to the Missoni section of the store and check things out. But it turned out that mom was ready to go and have some real food. So we ended up going to Golden Coral. I figure that I would pass by Target some time later.

Well, as you have probably heard there is hardly any Missoni things left at Target. Some crazy people went Coco Flakes and ransacked both Target stores and their website. You would thought that people were getting supplies for a Hurricane or something. But it wasn't. It was the zig zag designs that had them hypnotize and unable to think clearly.

I on the other hand had no idea what all the crazed was about. And I still can't get it. Perhaps because this kind of design has never been my favorite. So I had to put myself in their shoes. "If Coco Channel was still alive and if she would have design something for Target well I would be the first one at the front door of Target at 5am in the morning and ready to run my way through the aisle."

But then as I browse the Missoni section online I realized how pretty was that zig zag 60's throw. And what about the Women's Comfort Bike? So stylish, but it is also out of stock! Unbelievable! These people didn't even leave that cute beanie hat for me to buy! Now how am I going to keep myself warm doing the winter? Oh, I forgot I live in Florida. For crying out load are these people paying in cash? I thought we were still in a recession?

By the way I did hear that some folks are reselling these Missoni items on Ebay. Why didn't I think of that? What a great way of making a little money!

I have to go now. All of this stuff got me a little dizzy!

"'This... stuff'? Oh. Okay. I see. You think this has nothing to do with you. You go to your closet and you select... I don't know... that lumpy blue sweater, for instance because you're trying to tell the world that you take yourself too seriously to care about what you put on your back. But what you don't know is that that sweater is not just blue, it's not turquoise. It's not lapis. It's actually cerulean. And you're also blithely unaware of the fact that in 2002, Oscar de la Renta did a collection of cerulean gowns. And then I think it was Yves Saint Laurent... wasn't it who showed cerulean military jackets? I think we need a jacket here. And then cerulean quickly showed up in the collections of eight different designers. And then it, uh, filtered down through the department stores and then trickled on down into some tragic Casual Corner where you, no doubt, fished it out of some clearance bin. However, that blue represents millions of dollars and countless jobs and it's sort of comical how you think that you've made a choice that exempts you from the fashion industry when, in fact, you're wearing the sweater that was selected for you by the people in this room from a pile of stuff."

"I am sorry Miranda. I didn't mean to call that stuff stuff."

Oops, time for a Kit Kat bar.

Have a swell time!

Carmen Johnson

TWW AUGUST LETTER

2011-08-01T17:51:00.000-07:00

Welcome dear guests to Time Warp Wives! We are delighted to have you over.

How are you all doing? We hope that you have been enjoying the lovely month of August. Although for many of us the heat of the Summer have been almost unbearable, we all seem to find some time to enjoy the great outdoors, even if it is in the evening for a minute or two to grab a pair of dry socks from the clothes line.

And talking about the great outdoors you all are cordially invited to attend one of our favorites Summer events of the year! Yes, I am totally excited to let you all know that the 27th Annual Gatsby Summer Afternoon event is just around the corner!

On the second Sunday in September the Art Deco Society of California hosts its annual Gatsby Summer Afternoon at the historic Dunsmuir Helman House in Oakland California.

The Gatsby Summer Afternoon lets several hundred aficionados of the 1920s and 30s step back to a time when elegance was a way of life and the Charleston and Fox Trot were all the rage. This is not a spectator event; every guest is part of the scene in their vintage best. From 1-6 p.m. the panoramic Dunsmuir front lawn becomes the stage on which all participants play, picnic, dance, and sip champagne; reminiscent of a scene from The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald's famous novel of 1925.

For more information about the event and how to Gatsby you are welcome to visit: Art Deco Society.

Have you seen the new commercial for the new ABC show Pan Am? Being that I have worked in the travel industry and love all things retro I was intrigued about the show. So I went ahead and read and saw bits of the pilot episode. After I had made my assessment I concluded that this show is not that all family friendly.

It is so unfortunate that more and more T.V. networks are pushing away shows that all the family can enjoy together. Whatever happened to movie nights when parents and kids can come together and watch a wholesome fun show?

Okay so the show wasn't meant for the whole family to watch. But when we do watch some of the other "family" shows I am in shocked but what these T. V. people are getting away with. Some of us that do still enjoy clean entertainment find it almost impossible to find a show that doesn't have some explicit content. Oh, because cable networks have had success on such shows now the regular T. V. network decided that they too could push the envelop as well.

Call me old fashion or antiquated, I do appreciate a great story that has love, drama, and adventure. But do I or any other decent human being have to be entertained by shows that makes us women look cheap and indecent. What are we teaching our children? No, it is unacceptable! Let's bring back some R. E. S. P. E. C. T. folks!

See ya all later! And don't forget to drop us a line once in while. We would love to hear from you!

Your Hostess,

Carmen Johnson

TWW JULY LETTER

2011-07-01T07:27:00.000-07:00

Welcome dear guests to Time Warp Wives! We are delighted to have you over.

It's July and it's time for family fun activities! Yes, folks get your tickets for the coming Summer events that are coming near you! Don't you just love Summer time! I know that I am enjoying every moment of it!

For many years folks here in Florida have dreaded the Summer heat. Sometimes the heat is so bad here that it seems like the air-conditioner seem not to be cooling enough. I always wondered how people back in the old days were able to cool off when there were no air-conditioner.

Here are several things that folks did back then:

*Many people sat on their porches to enjoy cool evenings. And sometimes people slept on their porches.

*Similarly, those who lived in apartments often slept on the fire escape.

*Refrigerating bedsheets in the daytime.

*Hanging wet laundry in doorways. (Now I could see Lucy do this one!)

Now that most of us do have air-conditioner in our homes the challenge is how to keep the cost down of our electric bills while keeping our homes cool. So here are some things that we have started doing here at our Time Warp Wives home:

* Keep heat from coming through the windows by doing the following things: Cover your windows with heat and UV blocking film. The same concept of covering your car windows with film works wonders in your home. Also you can buy beautiful energy saving window panels that will helps block 99% of outside light and the same time it helps to block outside noise which could be a bonus if you live in a noisy neighborhood. And of course we can't forget the basics that of just closing the blinds and pulling the drapes over the windows.

*Adding more insulation to the attic helps keep the heat from entering through the roof. We have noticed that we have a couple of rooms in our home that just don't seem to get cool enough. My Paris room and my husband's office are located where the sun hits the most. So we figure that if we added more insulation to these areas that we can keep these rooms a bit cooler and comfortable.

* Every morning after I have breakfast I go around my house and close the blinds and pull the curtains a bit in order to keep the baking sun from baking my home. And you know what it actually works!

Oh, I almost forgot to let you folks know that Vintage at London's Southbank Centre is coming up July 29-31. It will be a fun retro weekend of music, films, fashion, art, dance, and design from the 1920's era to the 1980's. For more information visit: http://vintagebyhemingway.co.uk/.

See ya toots! And don't forget to drop us a line once in while. We would love to hear from you!

TWW JUNE LETTER

2011-06-01T13:56:00.000-07:00

Welcome dear guests to Time Warp Wives! We are delighted to have you over.

We hope that you all are having a fun great month of June! Some probably dream of having a nice vacation somewhere in a private island soaking up some sun. But sometimes just doing nothing is a vacation in itself!

Here at Time Warp Wives Headquarters we usually like to take time to do just that, nothing. Folks everywhere pay big bucks to go to an isolated retreat and relax and do nothing. Now doing nothing for free in the convenience of your own home is the best deal ever. And you know that is exactly what we have been doing, and you know what we are loving it!

Trust me sometimes it is not easy to kick back and relax. Especially with all of these modern devices that are constantly fighting for our attention. Don't you feel that we somehow have become overly preoccupied with all of these things and that we have no real face to face interaction with family and friends like we use to?

By the way your cell phone is ringing. Alright you can go ahead and answer it. Oh it's your aunt, she is calling from Hawaii. Well that's nice. Tell her that I said hi too.

As I was saying sometimes these modern conveniences can become such a nuisance. Like for instance here you are trying to talk to one of your friends about something very important. And you couldn't wait to tell her about it. And when you are about to break the news to her, her phone rings, sing, vibrate, and tut. This little unseemly inoffensive little thing just took away your thunder, your big news, your moment, and you can't take it back. Do you know what I mean?

Oh, the girls just text you about going to the movies tonight. They wanted to see if I can pick up Peggy Sue. Okay sure.

Anyhow as I was saying I decided to limit my cell phone use, computer, and T.V. viewing. I will not allow such things to interrupt wholesome time with family and friends. Instead I will use my time in worthwhile things that will enrich my life and that of others. So what do you think?

Hello, are you still there? I hate when that happens. I am so ready to change my phone company. Wait a minute, would you please excuse me? I just received a text message: What did you wanted to tell me?

Oh well, I guess I will just have to tell you all the other main reason why I am limiting myself from these electronic devices.

To all of our Time Warp Wives Fans: Due to some electronic sensitivity and health concerns that I have been experiencing lately in regard to the cell phone use, computer, and other electronic devices I would like to take this moment to encourage all of my fans to take preventive health safety measures against such modern devices. Now you are welcome to send me a message at anytime using Morse Code or smoke signals. Though at this moment I am limiting myself from email message, until further notice.

Take care,

This message was brought to you by your hostess,

Carmen Johnson

Serving the best in retro fun!

TWW MAY LETTER

2011-05-01T15:57:00.000-07:00

Welcome dear guests to Time Warp Wives! We are delighted to have you over.

We hope that you have been enjoying this lovely month of May! Here at our Time Warp Wives headquarters we have been enjoying a quiet and restful time. Oh how refreshing it is to just kickback read a book (Entre Nous a Woman's Guide to Finding Her Inner French Girl), relax, watch some baseball, and not to have a worry in the world. Until of course you hit your toe with the edge of the chair. That is when you realize that you can't escape the inevitable. Ooo, don't you hate that when that happens.

We all get aches and pains once in a while. And what best than J.R Watkins Liniment ! Yes, J.R.Watkins Natural Liniments products have been used and trusted for pain relief for over 140 years! And for all you die hard baseball folks out there, did you know that these products have been helping athletes since 1868? And not only that but J.R. Watkins carry an array of home made products that we are sure that you will absolutely love!

Like for instance they carry personal care products like body creams, hand, foot, face, and face creams. For remedies besides the liniments they also have natural sun care, cough syrup, pain relief burn cream.

Are you ready to do some Spring cleaning without the dread of chemicals products. Well J. R Watkins have a line of all natural cleaning products for the home! Are you ready to dot these down? Well here we go: All purpose cleaner, dish soap, laundry detergent, bathroom cleaners, furniture polish, window cleaners, room sprays.

And for all of you gourmet cooks out there J.R. Watkins also have something for you! Ready, set, go: Organic and natural seasonings, extracts, sauces, oils, snack and dip seasonings, natural soup and gravy bases, and baking essentials.

Are you about to travel and want to take along a nice variety of J.R. Watkins products? Well they have these cute kits of their products in miniature size. Swell! Can you tell that we are excited about these products! And the best part of it is that they are all natural!

Talking about natural and healthy things did you know that women had been playing organized baseball in the U.S. since the end of the Civil War? And in the early 1940s, as World War II depleted the ranks of men's major and minor baseball leagues, Chicago Cubs owner Phillip Wrigley decided he could rejuvenate interest in the sport in his area by forming a four team of a women's professional baseball league: All-American Girls Professional Ball League. The 1992 movie A League Of Their Own was based on the AAGPL.

And now that Baseball season is in full swing. And what best to encourage fun sports and exercise into our family's activities. Or why not take the whole family to a ball game. And while driving to the game you can all sing:

Take me out to the ball game,
Take me out with the crowd;
Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack,
I don't care if I never get back.
Let me root, root, root for the home team,
If they don't win, it's a shame.
For it's one, two, three strikes, you're out,
At the old ball game

See ya toots! And don't forget to drop us a line once in while.

Your Hostess,

Carmen Johnson

TWW MARCH LETTER

2011-03-01T12:22:00.000-08:00

Welcome guests to Time Warp Wives! We are delighted to have you over.

We hope that you all survived the harsh Winter season. Well soon you don't have to deal with it any longer because Spring is on it's way!

And here at Time Warp Wives we are very much looking forward to enjoying the beautiful variety of colors, smells, and flavors of Spring! Just being outside and soaking in the sun makes us feel happier. And the health benefits are great as well.

Yes, we all need that extra Vitamin D because we have been indoors way too long. And for those of us that haven't taken much sun there is always the good ol' cod liver oil. Yes, folks Orton's Cod Liver Oil from the pristine waters of Iceland is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamins A and D. And what makes this our favorite cod liver oil is that it doesn't have that fishy aftertaste. Yummy indeed!

Have you heard about the Royal Wedding? Well of course you have! And I am sure that you too were not invited. Now you shouldn't feel bad about it, you wouldn't want to ruin that sunny disposition of yours. Instead why not take the Uninvited Royal Wedding occasion and make it your own royal day.

Yes, why not pamper yourself for a little bit that day. After all you have work hard to keep your house nice, tidy, and cozy. You prepare lovely meals for everyone to enjoy. You do the wash and the dishes. For crying out loud you deserve a day off!

And if you want a more elaborate occasion why not throw your own party. Yes, why not invite your friends over and have kind of a Retro Royal Party. You can all get dolled up and get yourself a pretty dress and one of those handsome looking fascinators that all the girls will definitely be wearing for the Royal Wedding. And while enjoying some old fashion tea cakes why not pop in a classic Royal movie like Roman Holiday with Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck. Now how fun would that be?

Want to enjoy some great retro event for the coming weeks? You are welcome to visit our: Event Calendar.

Hope that you have a wonderful Spring season! And don't forget to drop us a note once in a while.We would love to hear from you!

Best Wishes!

TWW FEBRUARY LETTER

2011-02-01T17:53:00.001-08:00

"Hey, Cindy do you want to help daddy to shovel the snow?"
"Yes, daddy!"

Welcome guests to Time Warp Wives! We are delighted to have you over.

Didn't January come and go in a flash? It was just the other day when we watched the Rose Parade and now we are getting ready to watch The Super Bowl. Can we have a do over? "If I can turn back time. If I can find a way."

For the last several months I have been wanting to start fixing and organizing our garage. We even planned to do a garage sale when all of the sudden we were hit with one of the biggest Winters ever! Even right here at our Time Warp Wives headquarters it felt more like Massachusetts than sunny Florida.

But being that we are not used to all this cold weather we hardly wanted to venture outside. Unless of course we ran out of food supplies, and even then we still didn't want to leave the house. If we had a hard time here in Florida, we can't even imagine how you folks up north are dealing with this Winter!

So for the most part we stayed indoors snacking all day long while wearing warm P.J. and watched tons of episodes of The Twilight Zone, Happy Days, and Laverne & Shirley. And boy we sure had a lot of fun!

And talking about the Laverne & Shirley I recently discovered something about that show that I didn't get when I was younger. You see for many years I loved the outfits that Laverne & Shirley wore on the show. But it never dawned on me that this show was a actually a spin off of the Happy Days and that it was set in the 1959- 1967. So all of this time I thought that these girls had a great sense of style which was different and unique to what everyone back in the 70's was wearing. It's no wonder that I always prefer wearing retro clothes of that era!

For all those vintage Fashionsitas that reside in New York The Manhattan Vintage Clothing Show is on this Friday and Saturday February 4 and 5. So if you are bored, brave, and bold why not bundle up and bring your pocket book. You might be able to find a lovely warm vintage scarf that you will definitely be using for the cold weeks to come!

Want to enjoy some great retro event for the coming weeks? You are welcome to visit our: Event Calendar.

Hope that you have a safe winter! And don't forget to drop us a note once in a while.We would love to hear from you!

Best Wishes!

Your Hostess,

Carmen Johnson

TWW JANUARY LETTER

2011-01-01T19:30:00.000-08:00

Welcome guests to Time Warp Wives! We are delighted to have you over.

We are happy to be back from our Winter break all refreshed and ready to go! We hope that you all had a wonderful Winter break and that you are keeping yourself warm and dry while weathering the snow or rain.

Can you believe that it is 2011! Doesn't this year sounds so futuristic? If you lived lets say 50 years ago you would think that by this decade folks would be driving their flying cars (good thing we aren't because that would be a big mess) and that every home would have robots to do the cooking and cleaning. I personally don't mind borrowing Rosie from the Jetsons once in a while so that she can help me with some of my house chores!

Although we are not driving flying cars and have robots in our homes, yet. This past decade can be defined as the communication boom decade. No matter where you go in the world, somebody is either on their cell phone or on the internet. Yes, we have come a long way from the days of buying the newspaper from a paper boy to being able to read the news, make a phone call, and find an address on this one little device.

One of the best things in living in this era is that we can enjoy both the modern conveniences and vintage styles at the same time. Here at Time Warp Wives we are a big fan of the Steampunk concept. We totally love to see how folks are able to transform a generic modern gadget to a more appealing and workable piece of art. For instance at Gizmo Watch they posted 13 stylish Steampunk phones: gizmowatch. It would be totally swell if the cell phone company start making phones like these!

Now for those vintage folks out there that own a website or a blog MediaBoom is an award winning developer in web design that know a little thing or two in vintage design concepts. Their own website is one of our favorites: http://mediaboom.com.

Lately at our Time Warp Wives headquarters we have been enjoying our new old fashion turntable. We have been listening to our vintage records and old T. V.shows on cd while lounging in our Paris room. At night before going to bed we love to turn on to one of our favorite old time Jazz stations while enjoying some quality family time.

Oh and by the way some of these vintage modern turntables not only plays record, but also cd, and radio. And some also play tape. Here are some of the latest turntable models at: Jcpenney.

Want to enjoy some great retro event for the coming weeks? You are welcome to visit our: Event Calendar.

Hope that you have a wonderful month! And don't forget to drop us a note once in a while.We would love to hear from you!

Best Wishes!

Your Hostess,

Carmen Johnson

TWW DECEMBER LETTER

2010-12-01T12:49:00.000-08:00

Welcome guests to Time Warp Wives! We are delighted to have you over.

Hello to all of our wonderful friends out there. How did Black Friday and Cyber Monday treat you? Did you survive the shopping craze with dignity? Where you nice and polite with others as you frantically ran through the aisle while looking for that last pair of Mary Janes shoes?

When stressful situations arise the least and hardest thing that one might think of is etiquette. Our emotions can get the better of us when we are stressed out. Trying to hold our compulsion when dealing with a rude person can become a real challenge.

Isn't it true though that being kind and respectful at all times is what etiquette is all about. Yes, it is in such situations that our good manners and etiquette can be tested. In a way going through such challenges can make us equipped to be able to handle whatever thing comes our way. And at the end one the most valuable gift that we can give to our kids, neighbors, and family is the gift of good manners. Now that is priceless!

And talking about shopping, how are your tootsies and fingers doing? Are they still hurting? Perhaps it is time to treat yourself for a much needed pedicure and manicure. Oh yes just the thought of soaking our hands and feet in warm soapy water can be so relaxing.

And after we are all relax and happy why not add some colour to your pretty nails. Jane Bryant costume designer for Mad Men have collaborated with Nailtini and now she has her own nail polish collection. The colors in the Jane Bryant Collection was actually inspired by vintage fabrics. Aren't the colours of these nail polishes scrumptious? We are sure that you are be wowed this fantastic collection.

Have you checked our new Time Warp Living Network? Come visit us today at our new home: TimeWarpLiving.Com

Hope that you have a great and safe winter. And don't forget to drop us a note once in a while.We would love to hear from you!

Best Wishes!

Your Hostess,

Carmen Johnson

Time Warp Wives Mail Box

One of our Time Warp Wives readers recently email us a question:

I’m having a retro wedding next new years eve (Dec 31, ’11). Was wondering if you have any starter ideas – I’m in the initial stages of planning. I will have big band era music, and all things vintage. - Kelsey

Dear Kelsey,

Congratulations on your wedding! How wonderful that you want to do an all vintage wedding! For starter ideas I recommend The Knot website on Vintage wedding: http://vintage.weddings.com/

Here are some ideas of in making a vintage wedding:
http://vintage.weddings.com/.

One of my favorite things in planning any wedding is choosing a theme. I absolutely love the idea of staging a wedding theme around your favorite old movie, music, or era.

I for instance love the Art Deco era! Can you imagine the men wearing hats and women wearing beautiful feather hair pieces? It would be just like in the movies!

If you can afford renting an antique car on your big day would be great! Taking black and white photos while you are in the car would be absolutely fantastic! The best memorable vintage pictures that I have seen are of the couple seating in the antique car as they leaving to their destination.

I hope that you find the articles in The Knot useful. Best Wishes! - Carmen

TWW NOVEMBER LETTER

Welcome our friends to Time Warp Wives! We are delighted to have you over.

November is here and the fall season in the western hemisphere is in full swing. And what a great time to invite your friends over your home for some cocktails and Hors d'œuvre. Good company and great food always warms the heart in any season!

And while we enjoy some indoor activities we can lounge near the fire place with Lesly Blume's newest book Let's Bring Back. This nostalgic encyclopedia celebrates forgotten objects, curiosities, pastimes, fashions, words, landmarks, and personae from bygone eras! This book will be released on November 1, 2010. Can't wait to get our own copy!

Some of our readers that have enjoyed our Time Warp Wives website have also enjoyed our Time Warp Living network and our first Retro Fashion Week event. It was so lovely to meet hundreds of folks from all over the world that love retro living!

Recently we had to move our networks from Ning because they started charging for their services. Then we found Grou.ps which offered and promised to keep their free services. For four months were were happy guests at their home until recently. Grou.ps started charging, which caught us by surprise.

Although Groups paying plans are somewhat more affordable and made more sense than the paying plans that Ning had offered, we wouldn't want to stay with them because of a matter of principle. We not only felt duped by this network but we also have lost trust in them. There are so many ways networks can make a platform in today's economy without having to make drastic changes. Facebook for instance is a great example.

Do you have any ideas where we can move our networks to? We would love to hear from you! We appreciate your suggestions to help us find a new home for our networks! You are welcome to leave a comment below or email us at Timewarpwives@yahoo.com. Thanks!

Do you enjoy watching retro T.V. shows?

Here at Time Warp Wives we are big fans of retro sleuth shows! We have enjoyed the latest Masterpiece Mysteries from PBS. Our favorites are: The sweet little old Miss Marple. The daring Hercule Poirot. And the astute Sherlock Holmes. You can watch some of the latest episodes online or on your PBS local station.

We hope that you will have a great month of November!

Best Wishes,

Your Hostess,

Carmen Johnson

Welcome our friends to Time Warp Wives! We are delighted to have you over.

We are finally back from our Summer hiatus! We have missed being here and in sharing our passion for retro living with you. Now that we are all relaxed and totally refreshed we are ready to hit the pavement once again!

With this new season we decided to do some remodeling here at Time Warp Wives, starting of course with our brand new website! We are so excited with our new stylish website! Our new design reflects our love for both retro fashion and design. All of this has been possible thanks to Blogger!

With the new layouts that Blogger is offering it is not only easier for us to design and add content (don't have to deal with HTML), but we can now make changes, add new sections, or even add an extra column whenever we want, but without all of the fuss! This will save us both time and energy, which any busy housewife surely appreciates!

So let us know what you think about our website. And if you have any questions about how you can make your own website let us know. We will be more than happy to help you!

Would you like to be on T.V. and talk about your passion for retro living? We were recently contacted by two major network companies! Both of these networks are looking for guests to appear in their show. If you are interested please email us at timewarpwives@yahoo.com for more details.

The latest news of bed bugs here in the States has made housewives everywhere run for the covers! Yikes, not the covers! "The Invasion of the Bed Bugs" is being felt everywhere! We feel for every housewife or househusband out there that may be going through such an ordeal. We know how hard you have worked to keep your home clean and tidy.You are not alone! These little pesky critters are attacking major fashion shops, luxury hotels, and even governmental offices.

What to do if you suspect a Bed Bug infestation in your home? To help you to keep your sanity it is advisable to call a professional. If you opt to getting rid of these pests on your own you might make things even worst. Such an invasion could be overwhelming both physically and emotionally.

The other day on the news this lady was so distraught with these bedbugs that she had developed a OCD problem. It's amazing how these little creatures can have such an impact on people! So think twice before taking care of these pests on your own. For anyone going through this we have your back. Fight to the end! Go ahead get rid of your old torn out bed and replace it with a brand new bed sets! After all you deserve it for putting up with those bugs!

So stay tuned to Time Warp Wives third season as we bring to you new interviews and segments that we are sure you will definitely enjoy! Oh, and don't forget to drop us a note or leave a comment below. We would love to hear from you!

Best Wishes,

Your Hostess,

In January of this year we attended the 2009 Art Deco Festival. It was nice to attend another year at the festival with the purpose of this time meeting an interviewing talented artist.

At the festival we filmed many hours and labored through out that whole week. It was a lot of work, but we had fun. Everything was just perfect, until we came home and started to edit our film. And that was when the party pooper decided to show it's ugly head.

You see, here at that Time Warp Wives headquarters, we are a 100% made from scratch materials. In other words we work with what we got. So when our computer saw a big editing movie file, it decided to pack it's bag and go on vacation.

TWW OCTOBER LETTER

2009-10-01T16:19:00.000-07:00

Welcome our friends to Time Warp Wives. We are delighted to have you over.

Don't you just love the scent of fall? There is no other season so aromatic like this one. Wouldn't it be nice to capture this scent in a bottle and wear it when you want to feel fall fresh?

And talking about scent, how many of you can describe Chanel No. 5 by Coco Channel? We found an actual description of this perfume, "The perfume tries to capture the scent of extreme freshness of the northern lakes under the midnight sun", isn't that just delightful?

Coco Chanel expressed herself what she wanted this perfume to be. "I want to give women an artificial perfume," said Chanel. "Yes, I really do mean artificial, like a dress, something that has been made. I don't want any rose or lily of the valley, I want a perfume that is a composition".

In 1923 Coco Chanel told Harper's Bazaar 'simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance'. Coco Chanel always kept the clothing she designed simple, comfortable, and revealing. Unlike most designers in Europe, she kept the woman inside the clothes at the center of her creations. "I gave women a sense of freedom; I gave them back their bodies: bodies that were drenched in sweat, due to fashion's finery, lace, corsets, underclothes, padding." She took what were considered poor fabrics like jersey and upgraded them. Chanel's style is popularly associated with the image of the 1920s flapper, a "new breed" of self-confident young women .

Want to know more about Coco Chanel? The movie Coco Before Chanel has been released in most theaters. Visit Sony Classics for the movie preview: Coco Before Chanel.

We are excited to announce our latest interview guest Fiona who is the owner of the retro store Notorious Kitsch! Find out how she successfully balances her personal life with her career!

We also had a lovely interview with Iris on Youtube! This multitasking housewife enjoys sharing her hair and beauty ideas through her online Youtube tutorials. We are sure that you are going to love her glamour and style!

Have you met our other guest interviews? You are welcome to do so at our Time Warp Wives Interview Page!

Would you like to learn how to do a vintage hairdo and makeup? Revamp has also a retro tutorial for this month:

Sunday, October 11, 2009 - Vintage Updos. 10am - 1 pm.

Vintage Fashion Expo will also be hosting several shows for this month in Santa Monica, California:

Saturday, October 17, 2009

Sunday, October 18, 2009

For more information you can visit Vintage Fashion Expo website.

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! Don't forget to also pack that Coppertone Nutra Shield. This new skin protection lotion promotes natural skin care and also prevents premature aging. You don't want to look like a prune after being the whole in the sun?

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!

The other day we watched on the Oprah Show how some famous and not so famous people turned their passions into fortunes. And what many of Oprah's guest said was that they were not focused on making money, but that they were doing what they liked.

Tony who is the ceo from Zappos, which by the way is one of our favorite internet shoe store, they just carry the best retro inspired shoes ever! Anyhow what Tony mentioned was interesting: "Do what you would be passionate about doing for 10 years, even if you didn't make a single dime during those 10 years, you'll end up happier," he says. "And kind of the ironic thing is if you do what you're passionate about, the money will just naturally follow on its own."

Have you thought about turning your passion into your own business? There are steps that you can follow to be successful. There is a great article at Work.Com in how to turn your hobby into a business that you will find very helpful.
