KEEP LOVING THE HOLLYWOOD GOLDEN AGE AND ENJOY!!

My new beautiful obsession

I am have this obsession for the Golden Era that started just less than 10 days ago that I cannot explain. I am wondering why... Oh!! I know! I am a beginner doll maker (more on my other blog) and was looking around for pictures and faces and I came across with this wonderful Etsy store. This gal makes the most beautiful pins inspired in the 1920's era, so out of curiosity I asked my husband -who studied Film Production and is a connoisseur of the topic- to recommend a Classic Movie. We watch Casablanca and I believe I am in love forever..

In the pursuit of my new acquired romance I decided to sew this wonderful dress. I found this fantastic vintage pattern at Ebay. I will let you know how it goes!

Happy Tuesday!

The Roaring 1920's are here!!

I am soo inlove with the 1920's and the flappers, the fashion, the colours! It all looked so fun specially because women were liberating form the prior era.

  

All the girls look so happy and like they are having so much fun!

A little of History of the 1920's here:

"The 1920s was a time of prosperity, but also a time of many downfalls. It was an era of change . . . a time when people began to do what they wanted to do instead of following social norms. The  U.S. prospered as Henry Ford developed the automobile assembly line, as the nation had its first ever TV broadcast in New York, and as mail was delivered via airplanes. Women fought for the right to vote and changed the rules of fashion. Prohibition made it illegal to drink alcohol, creating organized crime with Al Capone leading the way. Warren Harding's administration participated in the Teapot Dome Scandal, but Harding's death left Calvin Coolidge to deal with the aftermath. Babe Ruth and the Yankees ruled the arena of Baseball. The first ever sports broadcast was delivered during a Jack Dempsey fight. Charles Lindbergh got the name "Lucky Lindy" and became a national hero. Americans feared a Communist takeover, especially A. Mitchell Palmer who sent suspected Communists back to the Soviet Union on what was deemed "The Soviet Ark." Italian immigrants, Sacco and Vanzetti, were executed in one of the biggest trial of the Twenties. W.E.B. DuBois, Marcus Garvey, and Langston Hughes led the Harlem Renaissance period. Garvey spoke of his ideas for Black Nationalism while DuBois and Hughes became leading writers of the black movement. The Ku Klux Klan began their prejudice spree, preaching white supremacy. Clarence Darrow prosecuted John Scopes during the "Monkey Trial," after Scopes admitted to disobeying the Butler Act by teaching evolution. In this decade following the First World War, America prospered as the leading nation of the world. It is clear to anyone that the memories of the Roaring Twenties are still vivid as we prepare to enter the 21st Century."*

Actually, my husband and I have been planning on a 1920's inspired wedding since lately we have been going back in time with the Cinema, Fashion an many other topics. I just can imagine how wonderful all my girls would look in their flapper dresses and the music we would play! Loving it already!


And lets not forget my very much handsome Idol of the Era... Perhaps, I am not accurate but ohhh gosh, he was very charming!! The one and only Clark Gable

Very sad that he is gone.. oh well! We always have our not less loved 'Clark Gable look-alike' George Clooney :) xoxoxoxoxo
