Aesthetic Interludes

I like maps, caps, and very long baths.

Pre-Code Hollywood refers to the era in the American film industry between the introduction of sound in the late 1920s and the enforcement of the Motion Picture Production Code (usually labeled, albeit inaccurately after 1934, as the “Hays Code”) censorship guidelines. Although the Code was adopted in 1930, oversight was poor and it did not become rigorously enforced until July 1, 1934. Before that date, movie content was restricted more by local laws, negotiations between the Studio Relations Committee (SRC) and the major studios, and popular opinion than strict adherence to the Hays Code, which was often ignored by Hollywood filmmakers. As a result, films in the late 1920s and early 1930s included sexual innuendo, miscegenation, profanity, illegal drug use, promiscuity, prostitution, infidelity, abortion, intense violence and homosexuality.

Another tent bungalow from The Martyn House, a resort in Georgia. Check out that fancy composting toilet! The spacious bathroom is certainly a refreshing thing to see in a tiny house. All this tent needs for full time living is a stove…and friendly neighbors who won’t alert the authorities of your living situation.

Ebay Gone Wrong: Tales from the Duped

Ebay Gone Wrong: Tales from the Duped

Most of the time when I’m showcasing outfits here, at least one piece of my compilation has been from ebay. Well, this week marked my 50th transaction on ebay, so I want to show you all my SHINY BLUE STAR!

But as Ratigan so aptly states in The Great Mouse Detective, “It hasn’t all been champagne and caviar. I’ve had my share of adversity, thanks to that miserable, second-rate” seller [insert…

Know Your Tag: Bangladesh and the Safety Accords

Know Your Tag: Bangladesh and the Safety Accords

Today I want to veer the discussion from who we’re wearing to where you’re wearing. Coincidentally, this finds us at the intersection of my two favorite topics: law and fashion.

Where you wear.

Many of you are probably familiar with, remember all too well, or are experiencing first hand the gradual recession of the industrial giant that once was New York’s Garment District. Globalization in ’90s…

The Grand Budapest: A Reaction to Normcore

The Grand Budapest: A Reaction to Normcore

Today I read a fascinating article in NY Mag (that bastion of culture) about normcore. Normcore? You know, the latest trend that has everyone dressing like 24/7 sports fanatics, ignorant tourists, and male adolescents. Throw on a white shirt, whatever jeans are most readily available, and the now-pervasive Adidas sneakers that would have made you vomit like four months ago (that you hid when you…
