Mad Men Architecture Ads #1

During my past 4 years studying architecture, I've had the benefit of reading quite a few 50s/60s era architecture magazines. The adverts are always entertaining/cute, so I thought I'd share one every so often.

1920's Stylesheet

I've got a 1920's birthday party tomorrow night, and am whipping up something last minute as usual. I got so entranced by the ladies with dark lips, smokey eyes, dropped waists and finger waves, I thought I'd share them with you...

This New Decade We Find Ourselves In

Is this decade called the tennies? the tens? the teens? God I hope not, I really dislike the term "teen"...

Phew! That took me such a long time without my broadband connection to put together. I love you broadband. Come back soon!

... I personally like "the tenners"... but then that sounds like im talking about a pop-opera band.

And I promise that that is the last you will EVER see of the ten tenors on this blog. Ever.

So, any suggestions?




p.s. yes, I know i left a picture out of the 1900-9 period (boring for everything, including architecture) and the "noughties"... but I dont think i have enough distance from it to judge yet... personally, i think everything from 1940-1970s+emo was fashionable in the noughties... what fashion symbolises what you've worn for the last ten years minus the last 15 days?
