Say “Hello” To My Little Friend
Mr. Sharpy, the retro pencil sharpener from Sunbeam.
Burlesque Clown Love
Bessie Love, as a burlesque clown. Perhaps the only clown that, while a tad creepy, isn’t scaring me to death.
Fall Down, Go BOOM

Never Too Late For Santa
You have to post it when you find it.
Photograph from the 1915 Midnight Frolic Ziegfeld Follies production, The Girl from My Home Town:
Most notably in this tableau of feminine beauty is Olive Thomas, seen as “New York Girl” standing beside Muriel Hudson and Margaret Morris, costumes by Cora McGeachy. This important and seductive view which really showcases the fun and allure of the Follies in the 1910s was taken by White Studios, and is a large format hand printed phoograph, never intended for public distribution.

Thankfully, the old Coca Cola slogan wasn’t “Share a Coke and a smile” or we’d have to say something about sharing a lap and how that leads to smiles… Photo of Sally Eilers sitting on Norman Foster’s lap.
