    Don't forget the 20's. Steichen and Baron Adolfe de Meyer invented commercial photography. Still some of the best. Not at "Life" though.

    @stein51: Did you know Steichen was Carl Sandburg (the poet's) brother-in-law? I am in love with that man. Too bad he died four years after I was born! 'Wait, Carl! Get un-infatuated with your life, younger, and we'd be perfectly matched!'

    Actually, I think Katie only kinda *wishes* she could wear that, and that's it's something of an insult to the "new fashion at the Country Club" to suggest that Katie Holme's silly outfit even resembles it.


    Just, you know. Sayin'.

    Dammit, where is my comment? Jez knows. I was saying that I want to BE the woman on the El Capitan, but I will never, ever be that cool.

    That pic of the Hungarian woman with geese is my most favorite.

    I love the shoes in the last picture. I also think we should bring back the play suit.

    Oh, Lord, vintage porn. I may never do anything else again. I LOVE old photographs!


    PS I think they posed that lady with a sewing machine and an uncut piece of fabric... doesn't look like anything in progress to me.

    I love the fashion buyers photo. It reminds me of the old concept of department stores with models and tea rooms and wearing hats and gloves.

    @Tart of Darkness: is anybody here old enough to remember the Williamsburg Room at B. Altmans? I went there when I was little and I swear it looked just like this.

    The top one reminds me of the 'Beautiful Girls' sequence from Singin' In The Rain. And I love anything that reminds me of that movie.

    My favorite is the one from '29 with the hound- totally have family pictures like that from that era. My grandmother's aunt was the cook at a very prominent estate in Massachusetts during the 20s, so we have books filled with very glamorous pictures.


    I also did my high school thesis on feminism and 1920s clothing.

    Fabulous! I can't decide which I like best. It's a tie between the geese one and the creepy face mask one
