'A Hole in the World'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Allyson -- the odd thing about that poster is that they're making it look fascist/dictatorial/communist/insertbugaboohere via the art style. How can those associations help? Doesn't make practical sense.
Thank you for putting that into words. All I could think was "PROPAGANDA POSTER" over and over and over, and loudly enough that it was drowning out all other thought.
Yeah, that poster is just weird. Passive-aggression on the part of the graphic designer overlooked by the higher-ups?
juliana! How's it look? Where's the picture?
No picture yet, but the hair is short - less than an inch in the back, and with the bang area just at the top of my eyes. She also thinned the hell out of it, and there's still a lot. Just short.
The funniest thing is that Marcy, my hairdresser, is due to have her 2nd child on the 18th of this month. Well, that was the original due date. Last week, she thought perhaps Lolly was going to arrive on the 11th. However, yesterday, as she was cutting my hair, she was having contractions that were 20 minutes apart. So, she's probably had her baby by now. Girl craxy.
I'm such a fan of clothes that you can't help touching while you're wearing them. Such a fan.
Me too.
In hair news, can anyone help me find pictures of a proper eton crop or shingle? I have had bad luck googling. I'd like a picture of someone who doesn't have a ton of hair goop or really curly hair. Love the vintage hair on lj people's bobs, but I want something less sleek and more low-maintenance.
Flea, how about googling Louise Brooks? Is that the non-product version you want?
Dear IT people,
When I ask if there is a working computer in the room we will be using for online training, please at least check before saying yes.
Also, a docking apparatus without a computer docked in it doesn't count.
Thanks,
Me.

Whoa, that's pretty short, flea. It's hard to find a picture without a ton of goop, because that was a very slicked down style. Most of the pictures I have of women wearing that style are from my Weimar books Voluptuous Panic and Hot Girls of Weimar Berlin. I wish I could just loan you my books!
You might google on photos by Brassai and try to find a hit in 20s Paris. Josephine Baker. Weimar. Anthony Andrews in Brideshead Revisted. There's a very detailed description of a woman getting an Eton Crop in Hemingway's Garden of Eden.

ita, you're going to be in Kenya on the 17th, aren't you?
flea, try also the silent actress galleries.
