A chance this could be #1970s but more likely #1980s as shoulder pads very exaggerated. Has such disco diva vamp glamour. So I mixed a bit of vampire and disco as inspiration with a contemporary character! It's in pure silk and by CACHÉ another fab American label #vintagefashion
Everlasting Love! This thread will take you back to 'Swinging Sixties' with some #vintagefashion items #1960s. First one c 1968 , year of the song by 'Love Affair' this coat by UK brand started 1791, famed for their cotton #1950s dresses. this #Mod #maxi coat in wool & sheepskin
This one is a very sophisticated early #1960s brown velvet 2 piece that was at some point revamped with a 'psychedelic' lining. Did Emily rob mum's closet and upcycle, or did mommy take a trip? #VintageFashion It will have certainly moved to early Pink Floyd....

This beautiful petite coat is made in fine mohair with fab sheen, velvet trim inc wing cuffs, & dates from early #1960s. Reminded me of a 60s air hostess coat (Pan Am had beige some points) I once had, hence theme of the video! #vintagefashion

(1/23) This thread is mainly addressed to my #German followers, but it could also be interesting for those who always wanted to know how Germany could become the most culturally leftist country on the European continent. Accordingly, this thread is a #political #commentary by me. 
(2/23) It is about the historical personality of the first post-war chancellor, Konrad Adeneauer. I also would like to finally dispel a myth that still plagues German conservatives, by which I do not mean recationaries, but all those who do not want to destroy their own country.

#BornthisDay July 9, 1927 #actress & #StyleIcon Susan Cabot. Star of mainly #westerns such as Gunsmoke with Audie Murphy, also remembered for sci fi Wasp Woman & Machine Gun Kelly with Charles Bronson. Tragic story later in life...

Susan Cabot in Roger Corman's Machine Gun Kelly. After her acting career, she restored and sold on vintage vehicles herself.
Susan Cabot in Gunsmoke 1953, and Ride Clear of Diablo 1954 with Audie Murphy. Though westerns, the wardrobe fab in both - Rosemary Odell.

Thread: For my weekly cinema column in Mirror/TOI Plus, I've been writing a series of pieces on #trainsinIndiancinema. First came this column, which opens with the Lumiere Brothers but zooms quickly into Avtar Kaul's strange and vivid award-winner #27Down: trishagupta.blogspot.com/2021/04/why-ou…
For the second piece in the series, I looked back at what the railways meant to British colonial India - and Anglo Indians - through the Ava-Gardner-starrer #BhowaniJunction: trishagupta.blogspot.com/2021/04/home-o…
Third column in my #trainsinIndiancinema series suggested that in the #1950s work of filmmaker #BimalRoy, trains were a lifeline -- but simultaneously harbingers of doom. trishagupta.blogspot.com/2021/05/a-life…
“What did I like? Having grown up in the 1950s this book really grabbed me. Having two bases in the town made it a good chance that a girl would run into boys from military families at some time or another. I happen to have had four boyfriends. Four because they moved so often.
Most of them were transferred after their dad’s had finished training. Two of them shared a lot of the things that went on at home and one of them was so close to Dave’s life!” - DD Gott - Donadees Corner @williamAGlass3

and it’s easy to get caught up in the Knight family’s tragic story, one largely written by the family’s alcoholic patriarch, a man unwilling ever to put his wife and children above his own military ambitions.
It’s one hell of a ride.” – Sam Sattler
“As Good As Can Be is a thoroughly enjoyable read. The novel takes place during the 1950s, 60s, and 70s and follows a boy, Dave Knight, and his escapades."

It brings back so many memories for those of us who grew up during these turbulent years. This novel should be considered historically correct fiction.
The language is occasionally raucous, but so characteristic of the time that it wouldn't seem correct without it. Try it - I think you will like it; especially if you grew up during this era.” – Rosanna B.
