A 1880s Victorian, beaded and fringed shawl was the featured piece for my May Rebill-On subscribers!
Victorian clothing is always significantly smaller and more delicate than you’d imagine it to be. Not only were people generally more petite, but clothing from that long ago tends to fall apart easily (depending upon what it’s made of).
This piece fit and still has a ...

The Hawaiian shirt: also known as an Aloha shirt
It was first popularized in the 1920s and 1930s in Hawaii when, as the Smithsonian Institute suggests, due to Japanese women living in Hawaii fashioning men’s clothing out of leftover kimonos.
While the prints and patterns were originally considered feminine, visiting to Hawaii was considered a great luxury in the 1930s ...

An original copy of Abbie Hoffman’s “steal this book.”
Hoffman was an iconic political and social activist in the late 1960s and into the 1970s. He was a founding member of the Yippies, a counterculture movement, one of the Chicago 7, and a big proponent of the Flower Power movement.
He published a book (the one I’m holding) about ways to subjugate the government...

A vintage Bye Bye Birdie promotional T-shirt 🧡🖤
Bye Bye Birdie is a musical, popularized by the 1963 movie starring Ann Margaret and Dick Van Dyke. The play is loosely based on a 1950s singer who’s your picturesque greaser crooner (Conrad Birdie) who is drafted into the war, completely detailing his career and that of his songwriter.
To turn things around, a new h...

Wet Hot American Summer
The wet T-shirt contest was first introduced in the 1970s in West Palm Beach, Florida after (I kid you not!) seeing it performed in New Orleans bars!
As I’m sure you’re aware, it’s a contest where contestants wear thin white T-shirts, often without bra, and are drenched with water resulting in the fabric clinging to their breasts. Contestants...

I really wanted to come up with a fun Austin Powers-related gold themed caption but I thought y’all might be more clever than I am.

A 1970s campaign ringer tee declaring how a woman’s place is in the house…and the Senate!
In 1970, only one woman had a spot in the US Senate. Only 11 held spots in the House.
To put that in perspective, there are 100 Senate seats, and 435 House spots! Wild.
As of today, there are 25 women holding Senate positions and 126 in the House. It sounds like a ...

Got to test out my new microphones and tripod setup! I made a JOI video and leaned into the ASMR-side of it.
The history of offering Jerk-Off Instructions (JOI) isn’t clear, and I couldn’t find any scholarly articles to support the internet’s opinions about it. It looks like it was included in the early VHS porn tapes and with the dawn of the internet, spread like wildfire into...

A look inside what’s in my 1920s alligator leather, silk-lined sex box!
I gave a quick lesson on the history of alligator leather, and then show you some of the toys in the box while talking about my historical sex toy series I’m doing!
Ben-wa balls are up next in the series, followed by Greek style toys (if you’re not familiar with that term it means anal play ...

Good morning, Vietnam!
The catchphrase from the 1980’s movie popularized by Robin Williams was actually (loosely) based on a true story of an Armed Forces Radio DJ, Adrien Cronauer.
Cronauer, a Sargeant stationed in Saigon during the Vietnam War, had the 6am time slot (known as the Dawn Buster) and started every morning by hitting the airwaves with that famous greeting...

Not vintage, but cool nonetheless:
A sheer bodysuit with embroidered snakes down it to match the snake voodoo veve tattoo down my arm.
Veves (pronounced vay-vays) are voodoo symbols representing various aspects of that belief system, and used as a beacon (or connection point) to the lwa (sometimes spelled as loa) which are the spirits of the voodoo world.

The 40 & 8:
This is a handprinted tee made for the shop using linocut of a design from the 40 and 8.
The 40 and 8 is an independent, invitation-only honor society for veterans that was founded in 1920 after World War I.
Back in World War I, American soldiers in France would be moved to the front line in box cars which had the numbers 40 and 8 painted on...

It’s been a minute since I’ve posted about space! I’m a huge space nerd 🤓
Here’s a history lesson with a bit of astronomy in honor of my first fantasy sci-fi alien sex toy arriving from Bad Dragon. I’ve never tried a fantasy toy before but despite my apprehension, I can confidently say I’m sold on using fantasy sex toys. I sent the video to your inboxes 💋🚀👽

A Kelly green tee from The Green Knight packy (liquor store) in Destin, Florida in the 1960s-1970s.
It was considered controversial not just because of the tagline used (“Our Knights Do It With A Stiff Lance!”) but because it was located in a dry county. It was the closest liquor store to the beach, though, so it became quite a landmark, adorned with a huge, unsightly, green knig...

A history lesson on Storyville: the red light district of New Orleans
Storyville is the topic I’m pretty passionate about and know a bit about so I thought making a video might be a little more fun than a long caption this time.
Stay tuned to the end I promise it’s worth it and you can see what sex I’ll be using next for my historical sex toy series ☺️💋

A black cupless bra and Votes For Women pins made for the shop based on original women’s suffrage pins from the 1900’s!
In the United States, women gained the right to vote through the 19th Amendment, ratified in the summer of 1920.
Women’s suffrage had been a long-standing debate, for about 70 years prior to the Amendment being passed. Women’s suffragists groups...

A deadstock, tags-on original jacket from Bumble that was produced when they first launched in 2014.
It’s too new to be considered a vintage piece, but it’s still pretty cool. 🐝

A string bikini. I’m sure you’re probably not reading any further at this point but for what it’s worth, Bunny Yeager was a famous photographer in the 1950s, mostly known for her photographs of Bettie Page. She was a woman of many trades and designed bikinis and subsequently photographed models in them which was a driving force in why the bikini is so popular today.
PS I guess ...

A 1970s white top and denim bell bottoms from the same era. I felt like the episode from The Office where Michael gets a new pair of jeans. I didn’t want to take them off 😎
One of the driving reasons behind the association of bell bottoms as a style icon in the 1970s is somewhat attributed to people thrifting the bell bottoms. Bell bottoms were originally worn in the 1940s (and a...

A 1920s slip,
1950s nylons (in great shape but man, nylons have no stretch and do not stay up unless you have them clipped into a garter belt. The modern version beats the vintage version here),
and a coffee table book “The Pinup” by Mark Gabor which was published in the 1970s as an anthology of pinup art from its inception. If you can get your hands on an original pr...

An 80s leather jacket, thick cuffed Big Ben deadstock denim and a handprinted Votes for Women tee.
The Votes for Women design is from an original 1929s women’s suffrage pennant that we made a linocut block with, and hand printed tees for the shop.
It’s been a minute since I sent spicy photos to your inboxes - go check out the extra snaps from this set. Worth it, prom...

These are three, original, 1970s tees made by John Lennon for Yoko Ono.
Back in 1970, John Lennon designed these tees & produced them in a very limited number to send to his inner circle of friends.
The Yoko Ono tee was specifically sent out for friends to wear in photos that were combined into an album for Yoko Ono’s birthday.
The Mrs. Lennon shirt is ...

A sheer handkerchief (likely circa 1920s and made for mourning) with black lace trim and a black lace garter belt.
The only thing I mourned while taking these photos was my clothes - the mosquitos are out here now that spring is in full swing 😵💫
Mosquitos are mostly an annoying pest here in the modern world but but for New Orleanians of the past it was a deadly ...

A vintage shop still life:
A 1920s cash register originally from the Jax Brewery here in New Orleans that was used in a variety of settings, the last of which was a nightclub in the 1970s where it was then put into storage until it regained new life on my mercantile checkout counter. It still works and, amazingly, has IDs and other paraphernalia confiscated by the nightclub bouncers b...
