From Nest Magazine Summer 2002 “Jesse Haramati, a twenty-seven-year-old biotechnician living in expensive, boring Santa Cruz, California, has re-created a vintage 1940s detective’s office in the front room of his apartment..”
from Escapade Magazine, August 1962.
From Kanter’s Book of Objects.
For those of you who have wondered what kind of entertainment who have missed out on with the death of vaudeville, you only have to gaze upon kid hoofer Ray Wollbrinck, once called “the cleverest buckdancer on the vaudeville stage”. Imagine the magic feet this little chap must have had as he “buckdanced” across the stage of the St. Thomason Theater in the heart of the Scallywag District.
It’s hard to capture to vibrancy of this silk pattern that lines a walking jacket from 1900. I wish it wasn’t too fragile to wear.
I was purple grapes the year before. Cant remember if it was my mom or i who was lazy in the concept department.
I have been looking for this book – The Naughty Nineties by Peter Seymour - for sometime. I remember it well from my childhood, when it was naughty indeed. Lots more after the jump. See also his adult pop up about the 1920s.
