The 1920's
Ok, so since this year has been rife with the 1920's era stuff for me, I've chosen to make this thread because the twenties rocked.
No, they 'roared'.
Post pictures/descriptions of your favorite 1920's stuff. anything!
I love the Great Gatsby. This is Mia Faro in the movie. She plays Daisy.
How great is this chick?
I also love model T's, The song "Ain't We Got Fun,"
and
and 
Here's another hot twentie's gal:

Hum, what else? I'll post again. Someone else's turn! Make this thread thrive! Please?
If anyone can tell me how I could share a powerpoint presentation with you guys I could show you a project on the '20's I did a few weeks ago in 8 hours on a sunday night. It's pretty alright.
Also, I guess the 1920's were good because they were really the begining of movies and major production companies, and I love movies, so yeah.
Damn! Who knew Houdini was so ripped?
Also...1890-1940 or so is about my favorite time in American history...
Tony Latone and The Pottsville Maroons (aka the Greatest NFL story never told)!
Dr. Caligari!
Metropolis!
The Federal Theater Project! The US Government PAID theaters to make art!
Speakeasies! Hellzapoppin! Animation gets invented! Cars look really frickin cool! Nikola Tesla!
And, just around the bend in the '30s, the ideal of the classic SuperHero is born! The Lone Ranger! The Shadow! Superman! Batman!
I woulda run things back then, sure! Life woulda been peaches and cream! Just me and my gal and a shiny nickel on our way to the matinee! Golly!
The Four Horsemen
Princeton football. I remember that. Not literally though. Just from some DBQ I did.
also, monkeywright, they just did a big deal story on the Pottsville team on Inside the NFL this year.
Speaking of football, that new george clooney film is coming out soon. their having the premiere for it across the river RIGHT NOW!
anyways, another good movie to get is Surrealissimo, about Dali and all the other of those surrealists nutballs back then.
also, monkeywright, they just did a big deal story on the Pottsville team on Inside the NFL this year.
Yeah, I just read the book "Breaker Boys" abou tthe Maroons, it's pretty incredible stuff. Football was trippy back then, kinda like MMA in the mud.
Louise Brooks
The Cottingley Fairies (ok it was 1917 but hey it's close)
The era of Spiritualism:
mediums, psychics, spirit photographs, ectoplasmic manifestations galore!
poor old Arthur Conan Doyle was a great believer in this stuff
At the same time Houdini was trying to expose these spiritualists for the fraudsters they were!
edit: sorry for hurting your thread levi. but i don't know what happened
"I've seen so many young men over the years who think they are running at other young men.They are not. They are running at me." Death, on war.

It's because AlexPallix mentioned spirits and ectoplasm. She invited them in, and look what happened! (it didn't happen to me, because I am 50% ectoplasm)
Aw, I can't see a lot of the pictures. But I love this thread. The other day we were talking about the '20's at my friend Leah's house and while we were talking she fled off somewhere, a few seconds later came back with this picture of her grandmother as the funniest-looking flapper I'd ever seen. Ah, flappers.
AND it didn't even post my original post?
what i said originally was...
LOUISE BROOKS! i love her, she is classic and fab.
and i wore a flapper dress to my prom. :)
