race against death, the atom-bomb of the days

So, after debating over a few options, I have decided on a vintage Victorian-esque black lace dress (cut short but with a high collar!!) for my birthday celebration next month.  And really, who am I kidding here- San Francisco style is vintage embodied, and that point can be made by guiding you directly to the Haight Ashbury district.  Here the locals seem to live and breathe styles from the 1960's and 1970's- of course there is a generous mix of crust punks, "hipsters", and tourists alike, but keep an eye out for those who seem to be playing dress up in their mothers' closets... if their mothers just happened to be Stevie Nicks.  xox
