slacks
first spotted this over at stay fancy free - they were taken by nina leen who churned out countless of amazing photographs that i’m happily discovering all over the internet. how amusing are these college girls parading around in their slacks? what a revelation. looking good.
spot the innuendos
these look like they’ve been taken out of an opening scene for a cheesy porno catalogue. also, notice the toilet seat frame hanging on the wall! all from retro space.
henri cartier-bresson
been browsing through the henri cartier-bresson interactive exhibition at moma, certainly one of the best photojournalists ever to have lived. he’s famous for his photos from his native france, but i really enjoyed the series taken in the USA between 1930-60ish. the first photo is from the McCann-Erickson advertising agency on Madison Avenue, New York in 1959. it looks exactly like the sterling cooper office! you knew i was going to mention mad men, huh? i’m so predictable.
albert’s eye

i wish i’d thought of it
imagine this as an entire series! by sasha chernov
royals
i watched the young victoria again this weekend and started googling myself into a bit of a royal frenzy, reading about her history as well as all her successors. i particularly liked looking at pics of the very dapper king george vi (aka prince albert, queen elizabeth the second’s father)
… and his very fashionable queen in her twenties flapper dresses. what a feisty lady she was.
they made a very cool looking couple.
