This
month's Best of the Net award goes to a very different type of site: a vintage
online store. Vintage Vixen is an exceptional site and manages to do what
e-tailers with whiz-bang technology and jillions of dollars can't seem to --
offer a knowledgeable, entertaining and efficient shopping experience. The
shopping portion of the site is organized by size, so you don't have to wade
through stuff that won't fit. It includes a "rarity" rating, care
instructions and garment details. In the FAQs and history sections there are
items of interest, from which celebrities collect vintage to details about the
different eras that Vintage Vixen carries (Victorian through the 1970s) This
site is a must-see.
December 1999 - We're in print! The December 13, 1999 issue of U.S. News &

skill. Lots more, but to get it all you'll need to
buy
this book!
