It's a cliche that Jews spend Christmas at the movies and a Chinese restaurant. But apparently it was true as far back as 1922, when this ad appeared before the holiday in the Daily Forward, a Yiddish newspaper.

“I am wearing a 1920s (?) dress that I hand dyed from a spoiled olive color to this berry shade, an 80s handbag from Beacons Closet, and vintage reproduction shoes (if only I could fit into antique heels!). I have been wearing shades of red exclusively for a year now; it’s been the best sartorial challenge as I can no longer rely on color blocking to make an outfit. Instead it’s about the different shades of red (which there are many), silhouette, texture, etc. As always, the early 20th century has been my main inspiration, with my current obsession being drop waist cuts. Ugh, to be a flâneuse in 1920s Berlin! ”
