Everywhere! The Casino de Paris, where the most glamorous and talented in France performed dance, song & theatre dating back to the 18th century. Showcasing the talents of the likes of Josephine Baker and Mistinguette, the performances were inspired and the costuming breathtaking.

over the top

Its hard to imagine Rosalind Russell in any film without an extensive wardrobe of outrageous and stylish 40s tilt hats. The epitome of 1940s glamour, these sweet little hat perched forward on the head, secured by combs, pins or a strap back beneath hair and were often as whimsical as they were dramatic.

You can imagine our delight at finding this hat recently, just added to the website. Pale shell pink sculpted sisal with 2 lucite accents perched atop in the folds...chenille dotted black veiling. Mint condition!

40s a la zoe

not a fan of miss rachel zoe, stylist to the stars (styling the likes of nicole ritchie, case in point, but said girl has no style aside from wearing crap that looks like hand-me-downs from paris hilton purchased at forever 21. nice.) and she styles poorly, and as seen on the aforementioned ritchie, demands an emaciated look which is, well, not good. ps, if you need a stylist, then YOU have no style! and if our friend rachel would eat a meal or 7, she may actually fill out this killer 40's gown.....

(ganked from my friends at GO FUG YOURSELF) bless them ever so!

I had a dress even better, but its sold to the fabulous SIMARA of STARLIT! even BETTER! click her pic to see her myspace page to get better acquainted....

THAT 40s dress takes ta-tas and some womanly hips & attitude to make work, which our friend rachel zoe has not, and the dear simara ROCKS. rocks, i tell you!
