Gottlieb, William P., 1917-, photographer. [Portrait of Stuff Smith, Kelly's Stable, New York, N.Y., ca. Sept. 1946] 1 negative : b&w ; 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 in. Caption from Down Beat: Stuff was with Red Allen and others at Kelly's, the 52nd St. spot between 6th and 7th that is doing a heroic job trying to lure the cats from their beaten path (about 150 yards further west on 52nd--a goodly distance when tanked). Stuff was recently shaken from the moth balls and restored good as new. He's missing his old top hat (good), still sings "I'se A-Muggin" (bad) and is rumored planning to go to Europe.

This hairy, smiling, cross-dressed man is the latest sensation in Japan, but his fame is growing beyond the borders of the Asian country!

Here is an up close and personal look at Bridging (Faggoting) along with a few tips. I first fell in love with this technique 32 years ago when I recieved a Feltman Brothers outfit as a baby gift for my oldest. (32 years ago......that actually hurt to write!) Anyway, it wasn't until I started working at our local Heirloom Sewing store that I found good instructions and could give it a try! It is a very old technique used to attach lace or a tiny bias band to fabric. I discovered that the biggest secret is basting the fabric and lace to piece of light weight interfacing. This keeps the two pieces the correct distance apart. Try not to stitch into the interfacing. My thread of choice at the moment is a polyester/cotton blend sewing machine thread. I find that the thread tangles less if I use Bee's Wax on the thread. This is not a complicated stitch. It just takes a little practice getting the spacing or the stitches correct and remembering to keep the thread under the needles for each stitch. The instructions for the Bridging (Faggoting) are included in many of my patterns and the "Heirloom Embroidery" book. I would love to hear if you are giving this technique a try! Michie'

I alwa ys think about what decade I would have loved to live out my 20's in. I go back and forth between the 1920's and the 1960's. Somethin...

'It's just a bottomless well of love and emotion,' says Phoebe Bridgers of being in a band with Julien Baker and Lucy Dacus.

Here’s a lovely b&w mega-photo post of Kate Bush as a charming and spunky young lady. It’s pretty evident that she was a fairly fully-formed version, even then, of who the world would come to know. I simply adore every photo posted. What a face! Photos are by Kate’s eldest brother, photographer and author John Carder Bush. Also, see photos of Kate Bush when she was a teenager here.
