    Ok, so some things in the golden era were not too cool...

    This one's better. "Raiders" doesn't have Yma Sumac's voice on the soundtrack.

    Ok, so some things in the golden era were not too cool...

    What's a movie, anyway? I stopped watching anything after they invented the 'magic lantern'.

    I feel your pain. Lounger DOUGLAS grows a great beard every winter, then shaves it off:

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    It's an eye-and-ear candy movie. Plot is so-so, but not awful. Was mind-blowing on the big screen, back in 1984. Fantastic depiction of '20s Harlem residents as real people, not as stereotypes or modern-day folks. One of them even calls the Cotton Club's white managers "ofays" (but not to...

    Ok, so some things in the golden era were not too cool...

    It's a banquet scene from the movie "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom". It shows an Indian maharajah(?) eating chilled monkey brains for dessert -- out of a monkey's cranium.

    Amazing 1930s knitwear dress on ebay

    Ironically, that color combo might end up being a big factor in its price. It's an iconically early '30s color pairing that is, for whatever reason, rather difficult to find in the vintage market. In my opinion, this piece is museum-worthy.

    Deco vs Nouveau

    . James Oviatt's penthouse in the then-new Oviatt Building, Los Angeles, as it looked in 1928. All furniture and furnishings were imported from France. (The penthouse still exists, but nearly all of its original 1928 furniture and furnishings were sold off in 1974.)

    Vintage Penny's Marathon Size 7 Long Oval

    I'll say! You're one of the founding crew around here! (In the Navy, we would call you a "plank owner".) How have you been, Bogie? Why have you been gone?

    You started a perfectly innocent thread with a funny (and odd!) video. I enjoyed watching it, and am glad that you posted it. Nothing in that first post presaged that the thread would end up going all wacky.

    when you dress in Vintage do you also think & act, talk like they did from the era?

    Exactly. The clothes don't make me into something; they esthetically reflect and express what I already am.
