Kitten said that while family, who live in Stratford-Upon-Avon, Warks, often used technology to connect with like-minded 1940s-lovers, they tried to hide away the evidence of it in their home.
She said: “I don’t like to see televisions out I and I don’t want them to be the focus of the room but I’m mad on film so we have a large sideboard which I made into a television cabinet.”
Describing their style as “vintage eclectic”, the mother said the ’40s family even tried to eat like families would have 70 years ago.
She said: “We do try to eat a 1940s diet – We love our spam, we are big spam eaters, we have all sorts and we love food so we eat anything but we’re not fans of powdered eggs!”
She said her own family had not realized her interest in the era was so strong, at first thinking the interest that began in 2006 would blow over.
She said: “They thought it would be a phase when I got into the modeling side of it, at least I think they were hoping it was a phase as they thought it was a bit odd.
“Hopefully they’re proud of what I’m doing and how far I’ve come.”
Kitten herself sings at blitz events and is now aiming to start a cottage business making custom hats and costume accessories.
She said the family had previously been able to build up their vintage collection cheaply but due to war-time movies, the interest in the era had grown.
She said: “When I first started things were very reasonable and you could pick things up from jumble sales really easily.
“But now the bigger following for it after war films means things are getting more expensive, I used to pick up dresses for £15 but now it’s between £60 and £100.”
