Gender Fuck Thursday

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.

    Excellent collection. Lauren Bacall has always been so gorgeous. Not that familiar with Carole Lombard, but I love the picture.

    This makes me so, so happy. Really, classic cinema was much more progressive than people give it credit for. :P

    That Kate Hepburn photo could've been taken today. It looks contemporary w/a bit of retro thrown in. Yummy!

    I'm with Norma Desmond (the one who posted above, not Mrs. Thalberg)! There's lots to love about the classics.

    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.
