Mademoiselle X, Marquise Anforti by Charles-Émile-Auguste Carolus Duran, 1876, Musée Cambrai
In case John Barrett’s Braid Bar at Bergdorf Goodman and the scads of tutorials we’ve whipped up weren’t strong enough indicators, we’re here to set the record straight: Braids are here to stay. If you’ve already mastered the advanced techniques, it’s time to look to the runway for inspiration. From Bangkok to Manhattan, we’ve snooped the catwalk to bring you the most intertwined mane events.
A closer look at the fashion in Turn.

In an afterword to The Journalist and the Murderer (1990), I wrote about Jeffrey Masson’s lawsuit, taking a very high tone. I put myself above the fray; I looked at things from a glacial distance. My aim wasn’t to persuade anyone of my innocence. It was to show off what a good writer I was. Reading the piece now, I am full of admiration for its irony and detachment—and appalled by the stupidity of the approach.

Studio 54 is immensely interesting just in terms of a sociological perspective. It peaked just about a decade after the Summer of Love - how far the Baby Boomers had come since their anti-materialist, hippie days!...
Educator. Over thinker.
Malcolm T. Liepke’s work is beautiful. It is unabashed, confident, and human. He does plenty of portraits, yes. Portraits of females posing in various fashions, many looking directly out into the v…
This is a Sewing Pattern This is a 1947 and/or 1957s iconic modern Dior design jacket sewing pattern < >< >< >< >< Skill level of the coat: ADVANCED < >< >< >< >< All my patterns are handmade to standard sizes and they contain English notes as well as notches that make it easy to join the pieces of the pattern together. A cutting diagram and information on the required yardage are included. To keep prices down, SEWING INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT INCLUDED. If you require Construction Steps for your pattern, please let me know before placing your order. - NO hem or seam allowance. - NO detailed instruction, only the notches and symbols, and named lines basic instructions. - NO step-by-step illustrations to go with instructions - NO cutting charts for individual sizes, the cutting diagram are for a stacked, graded pattern so some sizes may require less fabric. However, I can write some basic construction steps if you need or any specific steps in the process that you would like me to describe. ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~ . . . . . . This is a Jacket design pattern made exclusively for you, with your custom size or standard size. You will have your vintage design ready to cut and sew. ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~ . . . . . . Prices for custom (made to measure) sizes are the price of the pattern plus €20 Choose the pattern and then add the following item to your cart : CUSTOM SIZE SEWING PATTERN https://www.etsy.com/listing/102701185/custom-size-sewing-pattern?ref=shop_home_active_1 FOR CUSTOM SIZES convo me your measurements and specify your body type. To assure the best fit possible, please refer to my INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO TAKE MEASUREMENTS by copying and pasting the following address into your browser: http://contrapunt.weebly.com/taking-measurements.html Once you’ve taken your measurements, please paste them into the “Note” box on the Order page. ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~ How to choose a STANDARD SIZE? I can make standard sizes S, M, L, or XL with small adjustments to better fit you. Sizes are a tricky issue, and there aren’t any hard and fast rules, but I’d say my list of sizes is more European than American. To assure the best fit possible, please refer to my INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO TAKE MEASUREMENTS by copying and pasting the following address into your browser: http://contrapunt.weebly.com/taking-measurements.html The best way to know your size is to take some measurements of yourself and use them to gauge your size. I can also modify a pattern to better fit your measurements. For example: You choose size S (Europe 40-42). If your body is closer to the first number, 86 (Upper bust/Torax 86-88 cm), than the second, 88, please tell me. Otherwise, the pattern will be the standard size S of between 86-88 cm for the upper bust. ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~ All sizes, both standard and custom, can be modified to your liking (for example, waist higher or lower; skirt longer, shorter, wider, narrower, unpleated, etc.). A dress can be made as either one or two pieces—as a blouse and skirt, for instance. Please specify any of these alterations by email, or at the bottom of the form “Taking measurements”.

Un diseño hecho a medida de The Recherché Collection. La entrega es aproximadamente de 8 a 10 semanas después de realizar el pedido. Creado a partir de un lustroso terciopelo de mezcla de seda y viscosa en un delicioso tono ciruela azucarada, atado con cintas de raso de seda a tono a través de ojales hechos a mano. (Las cintas de seda ahora son un poco más largas que en el prototipo que se muestra aquí) Estas son exactamente como nuestras muy populares bailarinas Sugar Plum, pero con forma de punta en lugar de cuadrada. La tela está montada sobre un forro interior de ante suave. La suela y el tacón de bloque de 1 cm están hechos a mano. Póngase en contacto si prefiere dividir el pago en dos, con un depósito del 50 % para confirmar su pedido y el saldo (+ envío) pagadero cuando esté listo para enviarse. El tejido ha sido tratado con un protector de manchas ecológico, basado en nanotecnología (y que no contiene absolutamente ninguno de esos horribles PFOA que han estado envenenando lentamente el medio ambiente durante los últimos 70 años) que ayudará para proteger la superficie de las telas de las manchas, pero hay que tener en cuenta que estos materiales de alta costura deben respetarse y tratarse con cuidado... ¡asegúrate de quitarlos antes de saltar a los charcos, por favor! IMPORTANTE: asegúrese de leer nuestras páginas de política de envío y reembolso antes de realizar un pedido (enlaces a ambos al pie de la página). Al realizar un pedido, indica que ha leído y aceptado estos términos. ¿Te encantan estos zapatos, pero lamentablemente no son de tu color? Ponte en contacto con nosotros si deseas analizar opciones de color alternativas... ¿Opciones veganas? Sí, podemos sustituir el forro de cuero por una alternativa apta para veganos, y también podemos garantizar que se utilicen pasamanería y cintas de algodón y lino vintage en lugar de la seda antigua. franjas. Simplemente póngase en contacto para discutir más... Sostenibilidad Cada vez que se compra un par de zapatos, se realiza una donación a través de Ecologi tanto para compensar el carbono involucrado en la producción y el envío como para generar un impacto positivo contribución neta para combatir el cambio climático... eso es 25 árboles plantados y 0,5 toneladas de carbono compensado por par. Embalaje Cada par de zapatos se encuentra en una caja de presentación de alta calidad hecha con un 92 % de materiales reciclados que se pueden reciclar por completo al final de su vida útil (una vez que la cinta y el cierre magnético se hayan sido retirado y reciclado por separado). Por esencial que sea el reciclaje, no es neutro en carbono, por lo que quería que las cajas tuvieran una vida útil lo más larga posible. La construcción robusta y la marca mínima las hacen cajas de almacenamiento y recuerdos realmente atractivas que, con suerte, serán útiles durante muchos años. La tapa está estampada a mano con nuestro hermoso logotipo de caligrafía, y se utiliza una tira en zig-zag (hecha de papel biodegradable reciclable sin recubrimiento) para el acolchado protector. Dando lo mejor de nosotros Por cada par de Promenaders o Loungers comprados, se realiza una donación de £10 a la organización benéfica con sede en el Reino Unido Shoe Ayuda que trabaja para proporcionar calzado digno a niños y adultos necesitados.
Clara Gordon Bow, an American actress, who ascended to fame during the 1920s in the silent film industry and effectively made the switch to ‘talkies’
We've stumbled upon the backyard of a speakeasy club called the Krazy Kat Club in Washington DC, July 15, 1921. It looks like they might have decided to move their staff meeting outside to their treehouse in the heavy heat of July– and nobody is in the mood for business. Every workplace should have
When my sister and I were little, my mother used to read us poems from Shel Silvertein's "Where The Sidewalk Ends" and "A Light In The Attic." We had so many favorites, and we would ask her to read them to us over and over, and over again. This one was one of them: I've been thinking about this poem all day given the tremendous heat we're experiencing here in Philadelphia. It's Hot! To escape the sweltering temps, I spent the entire day shopping at the Philadelphia Marketplace. I stopped in at Lee Jofa to see the new Lilly Pulitzer collection, I swooned over the Oscar de la Renta furniture line at Century, and seriously contemplated buying this Regency style cabinet at Robert Allen's floor sample sale. Unfortunately, I don't have $6,000 to burn. So I had to pass. But the air conditioning was lovely. Today reached 97 degrees and tomorrow it's going to be 102 degrees... with a "RealFeel" of 113!!! I wish I could sit around in my bones. It's hot! ...

Miss Tanya Williams. Seems she was an "entertainer" and due to new "blue laws" in San Francisco, she was working at the Melody Lane club and she and the club manager were arrested for putting on an "indecent show."
