Beachwear, 1930s; featured in Life magazine.

personal rambling: There’s a ’30s themed party tomorrow evening but I don’t have anything to wear. I’ve been looking like crazy but can’t find anything to resemble the ’30s fashion, not even in grandma’s closet and I don’t want to settle for something inaccurate. Oh God, life’s hard. /end personal rambling

“Hastings Park, 16 July 1955 (2008)” is from Stan Douglas’s project “Humor, Irony, and the Law,” in which the artist re-stages historic moments of unrest in his native Vancouver. This particular image recreates a scene at a Vancouver horse track in 1955 using models dressed in period clothing selected to match the look of color film at that time. The models were photographed between takes while they were off guard. This image is composed of 30 separate shots.

I must learn more about this photo. It is fantastic.

Stripes, again! You can also see the soft transition to the bustle dress of the 1870s.

Photograph of Scarlett O’Hara played by Vivien Leigh on the set of Gone with the Wind. She wears this on her honeymoon with Rhett Butler, a rich “scalawag”, whose fabulous fortune enables her to sport the newest garments and become an exception among all the other Southern women.

Considering the fact that the pigeon-toed pose only became extremely trendy in the 2000s, I’d say the first woman on the right is very ahead of her time!
