I'm Alicia, 25, I live in Minneapolis, MN at the moment, and am soon moving to Duluth. 

I'm an artist, so I have way more crap than I need, so I try to keep the vintage stuff to a minimum, although it's AWESOME vintage shopping here. I love knitting, gardening, and cooking/baking. I love everything outdoors, especially camping. I love being a mix of outdoorsy and girly :) 

My favorite pug dress at the moment is... split- I'm deciding on a wedding dress right now. I'm stuck between the Plum Masuimi Dress and the Champagne Je T Adore. Who knows, maybe I'll get both! :)

Hi everyone!  I'm Amber.  I'm 30 years old and live in Minneapolis.   My hubby and I have 3 canine children (Italian Greyhounds).  He is an artist (furniture designer and fabricator) and I work for 2 spine surgeons.  We enjoy traveling, watching movies and trying new restaurants in town (the Twin Cities has some great food).  

I only own one PUG dress currently (my first one I just got last week) - the Nettie Tiki.  I wore it to a birthday party on Friday night and got loads of compliments.  I can't wait to add to my collection!

Glad to meet you all.  I am Karen from Columbus, Ohio.  I am 56 so I may be a bit older than some of you. 

I just recently discovered PUG style and just love it.  I recently retired from my job with the State of Ohio and have recently started my own business fitting custom fitted bras.  I started that business because I was frustrated that I could never find bras that fit correctly in the stores because I have always been large busted while being relatively small otherwise.  In addition, I am a breast cancer survivor so I also wanted to help others like me find a comfortable fit.

I enjoy walking, antiquing, working out and singing.  I only have four-legged children.  Right now I have a dog and a cat.

I only have two pieces of PUG wear right now.  I have a green Marilyn suit and the Sew What dress with cupcakes.

Where do you live in Columbus?  I live in Lewis Center near the Polaris Mall.  I haven't really found many places that are good for vintage clothing here but maybe I haven't been looking in the right places.

Hello! My name is Kimberly, 33, and I live in Des Moines, IA.  I am a stay at home mom to our 2 1/2 year old son.  Right now I am learning to play guitar and have reintroduced myself to sewing again.  I was homeschooled and my mom made it her mission to teach her girls all things domestic, like sewing, cooking, gardening, cleaning...etc.  I had stopped sewing in my 20's because that was a time when I could afford to buy my clothes :).  Now that we are down to one income and have recently adopted our son from Korea our budget is tight, therefore sewing cool clothes is needed.  I have yet to purchase anything from PUG, but I've been saving up!  I can't give you a favorite dress because I love them all!  I just started getting into vintage style about a year ago when I quit my job to stay home.  I left a fast paced job and found myself with lots of free time on my hands.  I saw a tutorial on YouTube about how to do vintage makeup, I was hooked!  Now I try to dress vintage all the time, I also discovered that my closet was full of vintage styles.  My husband loves this new look on me.  He loves the fact that where ever we go I will stand out and I won't look like anyone else in the room.  Here in Des Moines I have yet to see another person out there dressed like me.  I know they are out there, just have to find them.

I'm so sorry that I've been absent ladies!!!  I just got back from a few days in Nashville and in Milwaukee....Traveling all over the place seeing friends perform and performing myself.  So again please accept my apologies!

My name is JoEllyn though I go by my stage name, so please call me Pearls :)  yes with an S at the end!

I am 30 years young, live on the north side of the city of Chicago, I'm a K-8 Music Teacher, but I'm also a Rockabilly/Country band front woman - My band is Pearls Mahone & The OneEyed Jacks  ---- GIVE US A LIKE ;)  Trying to get to 3,000 likes before Labor Day!  Any help is appreciated!

Other hobbies besides traveling, listening and performing music would have to include: tattoos, fashion, home decor, crafting, organizing, hair & makeup/beauty, vintage cars and rat rods, fine dining, cooking, swimming, and dancing :)  Learning how to jive with my 2-left-feet-having boyfriend ::sigh::

Nice to meet you ladies!

I'm Jordann. I'm 22 and I'm a recent addition to Bluffton, Indiana.

I work at a factory (No, I don't wear my PUG/vintage wear to work!) I have a very feminine style most of the time, but it's just good old band t-shirts and jeans for work. I love cooking/baking, makeup, and DIY projects. I also enjoy camping, a nice cold beer, and being with my man.

I fell in love with PUG about 2 years ago when I was interested in doing a pinup Halloween costume. I received so many compliments that I decided I really liked this style of clothing. I currently own only a few pieces from PUG, but I'm hoping to expand my collection. I have the Greta dress in green, the Vamp top in white, and the Doris top in cream. I can't wait to get the Zooey dress in Picnic Print and the Sadie in Purple Floral!

I'm Amanda, 29, and I live in St. Louis, Missouri.  I love cooking/baking, and making soap.  I'm just starting to get into the PUG style, so I don't have much in the way of clothes right now.  I have purchased a few seperates online, but am hesitant to buy a dress.  I'm between sizes, and in the store I usually end up trying on about 4 of the same dress before I find the right fit.

I have hopes of adding a lot more PUG to my closet by right now my favorite is probably my birdie dress in peacock print. I really want the luscious dress with the elephants.

Hi ladies!  I'm very new to the site but not as new to PUG....I love how beautiful I feel as a curvy gal in all their great dresses.  I'm spoiled as we have a Bettie Paige Dress shop here in Minneapolis (where I live in the burbs) and Doris Mayday actually turned me on to all this fabulousness.  While I live in Minneapolis area now, I'm originally from IA and spend a lot of time in Des Moines.

I work at a large retailer's corporate office, where I try to mix as much fun clothing with my boring business duds.  I love going to concerts and listening to music with my hubs.  We have two doggie children, shih tzus, that I'm pretty much obsessed with.  I'm also heading back to school this fall for my MBA (yuck) so I'm sure to keep busy.

I see there are a few MN ladies on here.....where do you shop?

Great to meet you all!

Blacklist Vintage, The Corner Store, Via's Vintage, Bettie Page, JoJo's Retro and Vintage, Tatters are all in and around Minneapolis. I've heard about some fablousness at the Antique Mall in St. Paul but haven't gotten there yet.  ;-)

OOOooo....I'm going to have to check those out!  Bettie Paige and I have an unhealthy relationship (meaning I too easily spend money in there) and I'd love to get some more vintage duds.  If only my budget allowed for everything I'd like to buy!  :)  Thanks for the heads up, Amber!
