First day of life

Late one Friday night when a good chunk of the world was either asleep or partying like was 1999 (weekends somehow mean even more during these rough times, so you have to rock it with all your heart), a blog devoted to one woman's never-ending love of all things vintage, rockabilly, retro and pin-up style was born.

Weighing in at...well, websites are weightless, but let's just say 5.7 pounds (in honour of the best year for Chevies), Chronically Vintage came into the world with a smile on its face and an Andrews Sisters song in its heart.

Once the blog's mother has grabbed a few winks, set some pin curls and replied her ruby red lipstick, she will definitely write a more thorough introduction post.

    1. Thank you deeply, Hope. I adore the fact that, some 3.5 years after its birth, you're the first person to comment on this post. That truly means a lot to me.

  2. Just found your blog when I was Googling vintage clothing from 1940s & intend to read the whole thing, from the beginning. Despite the proliferation of vintage blogs, it is still a thrill to find a kindred spirit who shares my taste.

    1. Thank you dearly, sweet Hope. It always touches me to the core when someone visits my very first post here. It really is hard to believe that this entry was penned five years ago precisely. What an amazing blogging journey it has been, and continues to be, ever since. Made all the more richer and wonderful because of fantastic readers and online friends like you.

    1. You thoroughly and completely rock, dear Sanne. I'm touched that you hopped in the imaginary time machine, set the date to 2009, and paid this inaugural post a visit. Thank you, my sweet friend.

      Huge hugs,
      ♥ Jessica
