I don’t know why, perhaps it was researching the great Greta last week, but I’ve been in a retro mood lately. Last Thursday we had The Original Gender Fuck Fatale, Marlene Dietrich. But Marlene wasn’t the only lady back in the day who could mess with what is masculine. Let’s face it, women in suits and menswear are hot now, then and forever. Another look back, in wonder.Josephine Baker

Thank you for Gender Fuck Thursday. That pic of K Hepburn has caused a seismic rearrangement of my internal world.
I think this is my favourite post of yours ever.
Excellent collection. Lauren Bacall has always been so gorgeous. Not that familiar with Carole Lombard, but I love the picture.
Hepburn looks... wow. Hepburn.
This makes me so, so happy. Really, classic cinema was much more progressive than people give it credit for. :P
That picture of Ms Hepburn made me a
little moist. Oh my!
yeah... what reverend jane and steph and anonymous said... KATHARINE HEPBURN OMG.
That Kate Hepburn photo could've been taken today. It looks contemporary w/a bit of retro thrown in. Yummy!
Yeah...love that!

I just love the style. Her hat isn't bad enough, actually I've got a similar hat... I am a fashion journalist and I think this blog is one of the best in this category. I really liked what you did.
