A total nod to Gloria Swanson photographed by Edward Steichen, for a 1924 Vanity Fair!

I love how cyclical fashion is! As a vintage fashion dealer I've learned SO much over my 15 years in it, handling so many pieces and seeing construction and the ways more recent eras drew on the past. I find it strange when people say they hate 70s but love 20s/30s, that they can't see the inspiration from the styles…

A bit, in some films I would think? But women in the silent films I've seen were either desperately in love (which this would work for), grieving, scared, in danger, swooning, etc etc. But it really did work with a smile, too! Albeit slightly wistful...

Aww, thanks!

Beaded lashes. Which I kind of want to try but haven't the lifestyle to go with.

In a way, but you have to consider this look stems from actresses having to rely heavily on their eyes to emote the heady romance and dramatic scenes in silent films of the time.

Not sure I'm allowed to say? But Google dorothea and vintage. ;)

I love and love and love! Yet my super mod stuff from the 60s sits and sits on my website..

I made the mistake of dropping it now and then in front of my toddler, thinking she'd not notice. One day when she was 3ish she was playing in her little toy kitchen and I said "whatcha doing?" and she replied, all nonchalant like "oh, just f**kin hangin' out".

That knitting novelty print is KILLING me!!! I sold one from the same era covered in little tiny scotty dogs that had a jacket with bakelite scotties, was worn by the woman for her wedding. Sidenote, it was common at this time for women to wear dresses for their weddings that they could wear again later, rather than…

Because the NFL and the Super Bowl are the most chaste and noble of organizations and events.

She's morphing into Shannen Doherty.

than, baby, than.

I'll piss people off now, but I don't get the drama. Humans have been inspired by other cultures for as long as we've been able to travel. See the 1920s Egyptian Revival (for a fashion specific example). Or 1940s Orientalism. These are the product of cultures mingling. Unless it's straight up black-face, or insulting,…

You've clearly never seen 1920s spit curls.

She's not brushing it, she's setting in a curler.

A girl after my own heart.

All the yes!!! And this is why you should shop vintage (the real deal), if you can fit. And if you can't, you can still get your hat, handbag and shoe game on! Sayeth this vintage dealer of 10+ years. Repro is swell, but the real thing is the way to go.

Of course he's not embarrassed because money.

These days it's just a requirement for Fox News viewers.
