History Meme | 2/8 Objects: 1920’s Dresses

1920’s Dresses were lighter and brighter and shorter than ever before. Fashion designers played with fabric colors, textures and patterns to create totally new styles of dress. Evening dresses, coats and jackets were often trimmed with fur. Hemlines rose for most of the decade but dropped slightly toward the end. Shoes and stockings assumed a greater prominence now that they were more visible. Silk stockings in all the colors of the rainbow, often with patterns, were designed to match the coordinated outfits of stylish women. (x)

““Faerie contains many things besides elves and fays, and besides dwarfs, witches, trolls, giants, or dragons: it holds the seas, the sun, the moon, the sky; and the earth, and all things that are in it: tree and bird, water and stone, wine and bread, and ourselves, mortal men, when we are enchanted.””

Happy Birthday Laurence Kerr Olivier | 22 May 1907 – 11 July 1989

“Laurence Olivier swept me off my feet at one of those parties. A tremor ran through me when he took my hand and fixed those bottomless eyes on me. He actually sent shivers up my back - he’s one of the sexiest men I’ve ever met.”

all-about-bette:

My next appearance with Roshanara’s company was as the Moth — a dance made famous by the Fuller Dancers and performed before all the crowned heads of Europe. As a moth, I wore a silk gown whose immense wings were attached to balsam sticks, which I held in my hands, and gave great extension to my arms. The effect was one mass of shimmering silk. I danced on a lighted, multicolored glass floor that turned me from blinding white to amber and blue to the eventual orange flame in which I fluttered to my final self-destruction. I remember the excitement of performing that night in front of an audience — the applause thrilled me. Roshanara was pleased with me and kissed me after the performance. I was quite naturally on Cloud 9. Ruthie and Bobby — I suppose they were prejudiced, but I recall their looking at me afterwards as if they’d never seen me before. That evening after the performance Frank Conroy sought Ruthie out. “Mrs. Davis,” he said. “I seldom tell a mother what I am going to tell you. You must see to it your daughter goes on the stage. She belongs there. She has something which comes across the footlights.”

Bette recalling her first solo appearance on a stage in 1926, age 18.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY HUMPHREY BOGART & LAUREN BACALL

One night in 1953, Bogie, John Huston and some other friends were shooting the breeze rather tipsily about life and its meaning and the question arose as to whether there was any time of their lives they’d like to live over again. All of them except Bogie came up with cynical answers. Somebody said, “God forbid”. Somebody else: that he’d only like to cancel out a couple of times. Then Bogie spoke. “Yes, there’s a time I’d like to relive- the years that I have had with Betty.”

-Joe Hyams, Bogart & Bacall.

I was a kid in love for the first time. I was easy for me - I knew nothing about pitfalls. I was giving nothing but myself and I could do that without qualm. Never in my life had or has a man cared so much for me, wanted so much to protect me, surrond me with life’s joys, share everything. It made me want to return the care- to show him it was possiblle to be really happy with a woman, to give him children. I was determined to do that.

-Lauren Bacall
