Bang, Bang

Vintage black lace scarf from the 50s and a vintage floral scarf (the one I am wearing as a top) also from the 50s. Both were my grandmothers and the black lace scarf my grandmother brought with her from Mexico when she came over to the United States.

I love taking teas during this quarantine. Also my county of Ventura has opened back up again. What do you guys think? Too soon? I think we need to open the economy back up, personally.

i love how even purportedly heterosexual 1920s advertisements are rarely more than marginally heterosexual-passing

biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist

someone else will have to write an essay articulating it, all i can say is 1920s advertisements just don’t feel heterosexual

like even when the advertisers clearly requested straight romantic imagery, the artists just… quietly disagreed. 1920s ads can straight up have a woman & man kissing and it still

…feels contrived? anyway homoeroticism was inherent to the art of 1920s advertising, and attempts to enforce performative heterosexuality reflect that

this is wlw mlm solidarity

Actually, one of the most famous ad artists of the time was in fact a gay man, who’s many ads were inspired primarily by his lover. His name was JC Leyendecker, and you have one of his ads as the second example. Here’s some more of his work

He really defined the look that many ad companies went for at the time, and influenced Rockwell significantly. That’s probably part of the reason that ads of the period read as slightly less-than straight ;)

this feels like one of those “i don’t mind straight people i just wish they wouldn’t wave it in our faces” moments

this is so interesting! I love homosexuality in the 1970s and prior. I love reading lesbian novels from those times and lesbian pulp fiction, and now I have this bit of homosexuality to ponder on. :)

“Rosebud” -Citizen Kane (1941) dr. Orson Welles

Beautiful movie based on the life of William Randolph Hearst. Set from 1872 to the 1930s. Charles Goster Kane (Orson Welles) life is played through after his death. From him running a newspaper stand, entering politics, and beginning his wife’s opera career. Xandu is the representation of Hearst Castle. I love all the sets and the outfits. The time periods in this movie are some of my favorite. A great movie if you love the time period. And a classic!

A Clockwork Orange (1972) dr. Stanley Kubrick

I have to say I like the book more than the movie. I am a book person, I have to read the book first. The movie did not too good keeping with the story line but it did a good job showing Anthony Burgess’s future. Also the sets and the costume/hair & makeup too. The future was just as unsettling as the book and the language was well used too. Even though the writing didn’t quite stick with the book it was still really good. And I know the movie can’t always be the same to keep things moving or what not. The acting was good too. Malcolm McDowell did a great job portraying Alex deLarge’s twisted nature. ~~ The book was absolutely amazing in my opinion between Anthony Burgess’ new commie influenced slang and the real horrorshow view of one version of the future I finished it quite fast. This is a book that I could see myself quoting.
