Lillian Nordica as Isolde

[tiaramania]

Hello, I was wondering if you had learned of the whereabouts of Lillian (Norton) Nordica's tiara since your post of October 13, 2015: "Lilian Nordica's Diamond Tiara"? I would greatly appreciate any further information you may have come across. Sincerely, Jen (a descendant of Lillian Norton)

That’s so cool!  I unfortunately don’t know what happened to Lillian Nordica’s Diamond Tiara or any of her other jewelry.  She was apparently quite the collector.  Since the tiara was made by Tiffany & Co. I would contact them to see if they can help.  Tell them who you are and that you would like any information they can give you.  They may not know what happened to the tiara either but they might give you other information like design sketches, order forms, and receipts from their archives.

TS4 Recolors - Lillian Bedroom

Before I get into the details of my latest upload, I must address the latest issues circulating tumblr.

ETHICS defined - moral principles that govern a person's behavior or the conducting of an activity.

It appears that some unethical behavior has once again raised its ugly head. Anyone involved in this scheme of "Doxxing" "Tracking", and/or "Black Listing" mean that they lack; integrity, honesty, values, and morals. Why would anyone knowingly conduct business with people that lack these basic qualities? Whatever you do protect yourself and stay safe.

The Cure for “Thinking Too Much”!

Posted on May 28, 2014  by  Pamela Starr Dewey

It was well-known in Victorian times that thinking too much was a health hazard for women. What a relief, then, that John Pemberton came to the rescue of the Weaker Sex with his new Miracle Brew that did indeed “Relieve the Fatigue that comes…from Over-thinking” as promised in the advertisement below.

During the late to mid-19th century, medicines promising to cure multiple ailments from “foul breath,” “irregularities incidental to women” and everything in between proliferated. Many times these bogus medicines were mixed with ice-cold carbonated water and served as cheaper and more refreshing alternatives.

In the spring of 1886, John Stith Pemberton, a Confederate army veteran, had created one of the most elusive and important recipes of all time. This Georgian native mixed sugar, water, kola nut extracts, coca leaf extract, and other secret ingredients into a syrupy concoction that would become the base of the world’s most prolific soft drink the world has ever known. Mixed with soda water, the drink was extremely powerful with cocaine from the coca extract and four times the amount of caffeine of the modern syrup mix. The original recipe of 1886 has since been lost in time. Pemberton’s business partner and Union army veteran, Frank Robinson decided to name the new beverage Coca-Cola. The name derived from its initial selling point: “containing the properties of the wonderful Coca Plant and the famous Cola nuts.” At the time of the drink’s inception, cocaine was a commonly used substance, but was later near-completely eliminated in 1903. [Source]

In the 1880s and 90s, the company utilized lithographs of the young, beautiful, and wealthy. Giving the impression that anyone who was willing to spend a measly five cents could live like the rich for the time it took to enjoy a glass of Coca-Cola. [ibid]

Yes, even if you couldn’t afford the type of shopping trips of the beautiful and wealthy young ladies shown above, you could window-shop-‘til-you-dropped, and then stop by the soda fountain to be “revived and sustained”–and imagine yourself chatting over your glass of Coca Cola with the Rockefellers and Carnegies…before going home to your tenement!

At first the models for the Coke ads were anonymous beautiful and wealthy young ladies. But it didn’t take long for the Coca-Cola company to realize the value of celebrity endorsements.

Singer Hilda Clark became the first celebrity model for The Coca-Cola Company. Also known as the First Coca-Cola Girl, Hilda’s image was used on cardboard signs, tin trays, trade cards, bookmarks, drink tickets, and calendars from 1899 to 1903. [Source]

The many moods of Hilda Clark, from prim and proper to a tad sultry graced Coke ads for several years.

Coke calendars became wildly popular around the turn of the century, and Hilda loaned her pretty face and poofy hair to those too.

I don’t know what happened to Hilda, but by 1904 she was replaced by a more regal celebrity.

From 1904 to 1905, Lillian Nordica became the new face of Coca-Cola. Born Lillian Norton in 1857 in Farmington, Maine, Madame Nordica was also a singer who had performed with the Metropolitan Opera in New York, as well as in many major musical venues in Western Europe and Russia. Early calendars and other promotional items featuring the divas of the time not only launched the popular Coca-Cola Girls advertising platform but Clark and Nordica items had also become some of the greatest hits with vintage Coca-Cola collectors over the years. [ibid]

It would be almost 30 years later before Coke introduced the ultimate celebrity endorser, shown here in 1932 in his very first appearance in a Coke ad.

Nope, valkyries don’t look like that until Wagner’s opera. They were more similar to demoniac scarecrows than modern models. And, no. They don’t engage in combat, they decide who lives or dies on battle. Also, they decide if you can go to Valhalla.

Sweet Beginnings That Opened Happiness

The history of Coca-Cola all started back in 1886 when the curiosity of a pharmacist, Dr. John S. Pemberton of Atlanta, led him to the idea of creating a very distinctive tasting soft drink that could be sold a soda fountains. Dr. Pemberton made it all happen when decided to mix some flavored syrup he whipped up with carbonated water. Also with the help of his partner, bookkeeper, and good friend Frank M. Robinson who is credited with naming the beverage and designing the trademarked, distinct script, still used today, the Coca-Cola was born. This beverage held the spot as the world’s #1-selling sparkling beverage over the past few decades. Joseph Biedenharn who owned bottling machinery in the rear of his Mississippi soda fountain was the first to put Coca-Cola in bottles. A few years later, there were three entrepreneurs Benjamin Thomas, Joseph Whitehead, and John Lupton who bought the bottling rights, from then majority business owner Asa Candler, for one dollar. These three developed what then became known as the Coca-Cola worldwide bottling system. In the early days of Coca-Cola, the beverage was sold for five cents per glass; today they are sold at about $1.59 per bottle. In the early 1920s Coca-Cola became the first soft drink company to have a mascot when it began to use the 7′ tall polar bear for the beverage’s marketing. Also over the years it has been marketed in a slew of commercials by a vast array of celebrities from music hall performer Hilda Clark in 1898 and famous opera singer Lillian Nordica in 1904 to newly welcomed endorser Selena Gomez and international pop star and Coca-Cola Ambassador Taylor Swift. Coca-Cola is loved and consumed worldwide. It has become a huge powerhouse in the world of carbonated soft drinks and is continuing to steadily grow at a rapid pace. Who knows what is next for the company known as Coca-Cola?
