YES. I don't even LIKE dresses but this is the stuff of dreams to me : And I love the hats they wore back then : They put Natalie Wood in a flapper-style dress in Splendor in the Grass and I was obsessed with that dress for years afterward (the red dress) :

Yes because actresses models today aren't as beautiful as those women because they are not voluptuous.. I always here people say that, and again that is mentioned on this thread. I think it's so stupid and hypocritical. IP: Logged |

LovelyAries86:Jean Harlow Lovely Aries: --Not sure what happened to the rest of your comments but I agree, the 50's style is similar to the 40's. I love the sophisticated and elegant look of the two era's. Also, is it just me or does the Jean Harlow picture remind you of Marilyn Monroe?! IP: Logged |

...You're serious? Basically he's saying it's wrong to slam thin people then holler about how wrong it is to demean fat people for their size. Doing that is...hypocritical. IP: Logged |

Please stop. You & Kerosene totally read way too much into that because it's not even what I was talking about. I said MODELS. Not thin models, not plus-sized ones, not average ones. YOU decided that I was dissing thin women when I never actually did. That's on you, not me. If I were actually stating that all thin women weren't sexy, that would be ignorant. Marilyn Monroe is in a class all by her damn SELF - in terms of sex appeal. You may disagree, and that is fine. But please be correct about my point. Mentioning "Curvaceous" under a picture of Bettie Page is not an insult. Thank you. IP: Logged |

@Canadian Girl Yes, that photo of Jean is reminiscent of Marilyn. Lovely! @IMopped The 20's dresses are very cute. I just think they need more shape in the waistline. IP: Logged |

Where was it said that it was wrong it is to demean fat people or whatever but then that it was okay to demean thin people? I'm guessing it must be another thread because I didn't see it in this one, at least not when I first asked. And just for the record I think it's stupid to think that because someone likes a voluptuous woman that they therefore trying to passively aggressively demean very thin or androgynous women, especially as I've known lesbians who like to look one way while pursuing women who look another way (not that many care that much). Furthermore, I think he was just griping because he felt like griping so he invented something that wasn't there to gripe about. But seeing that was how it was translated I let it go without argument or saying how stupid I found that interpretation, I was just trying to see how this thread is hypocritical. If you can show me where it was said it was wrong to demean someone on how they look then I'll agree that's hypocritical (at least I'll understand how it could be thought of that way given the interpretation). But I'm not seeing that said. IP: Logged |

I only liked some of the 20's dresses but not the ones where the woman's shape was a complete box and had no waist definition. I knew this was a fashion statement of the previous era's corsets that made you look very shapely but its not appealing to me in the least.  I however.. do like the 20s-30s g irls faces! Mae West was shapely too! Lillian Russell of the 1890s is my personal favorite too  [IMG]https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ6qW1jmIM5Mvo0YqHQ2Lck4ou8SIBMngF0J96HGZLDHxUblLd-[/IMG] Lillian, I can somewhat remember, was something like 38-23-41 This is interesting too: "The sponsors of a 1904 contest to find “the best and most perfectly formed woman” settled on Emma Newkirk, an athlete from Santa Monica, Calif., who stood 5-foot-4 ¼, measured 35-26-36, and weighed 136 pounds. That would have given her a B.M.I. of 23.3 — not overweight, but close." Venus Gemini in 5th inconjunct Neptune, conjunct Mars Moon in Taurus conjunct IC Capricorn ASC conjunct Neptune IP: Logged |

Asc - libra Sun - sag Venus - aquaLove Elizabeth Taylor, especially as cleopatra. classy and natural, but probably feisty underneath. She has a simple kind of beauty, she kind of looks Libran/sagittarian I haven't checked her chart though. Next would be 90's, I love liv Tyler, I don't know what it is about her but again she kind of looks simple but it's attractive. Nothing is overdone, she kind of looks classic Hollywood. IP: Logged |
