A look back at modeling from film footage from the 1920's

Thanks to Dangerous Minds , we have this clip entitled " PARIS FASHIONS OF 1926: DREAMY HAND-TINTED FILM FOOTAGE." It's a charming look back at modeling and fashion from back in the roaring (okay, snoozing) '20s.  However, after viewing what sprang immediately to my mind was: Hand-tinted celluloid still succeeds in capturing a timeless, otherworldly charm for black and white film. It must've been a lot easier to book work when casting requirements read: "Seeking models.  Any models.  Looking for girls bigger than a bread box;  Smaller than a horse.  Thick ankles a plus.  Slouching encouraged.   Try not to smell .  Just show up." Clearly, just oneVictoria Secret Wonder Bra could have helped sales, enormously.

Chain Reaction

To everything there is an equal and opposite reaction. Sometimes this completely messes you up. Sometimes it makes art. Sometimes it does both, but rarely at the same time.
