50 Vintage Things That Were Cool Back In The Day, But Now Look Odd

Bored Panda got in touch with the creator and administrator of “A Little Slice of Vintage Life” and she was kind enough to share some more details with us. Since its creation in 2010, it’s amassed hundreds of thousands of followers, but we were curious to hear why she decided to create a group in the first place.

“I started my page over 13 years ago as a fun pastime because I loved vintage stuff. I grew up in Hollywood and my parents were make up artists but they also owned an antique store and that fostered my love for old stuff.”

Given the size of its viewership, we wanted to know more about how she manages to select what content to post. “My main focus for the page is to not post things that can be controversial (I follow enough other pages to see what gets people into a lather) and nothing political, even though I am very passionate about my political views, I don't want it on my page.”

We were also curious to hear her thoughts on why the page ended up gathering so many followers. “I just want people to enjoy a walk down memory lane and give them some joy in remembering fun things about the past. I also work very hard on keeping the spammers and trolls (people who want my followers to send them friend requests) off my page by blocking certain words so their comments never get seen.”
