Darling Violetta, Bela Lugosi's Great Love, Cinemagazine, circa 1920s Cinemagazine-Edition of Paris produced without a doubt some of the most gorgeous postcard prints of the film stars of that period. This one is really very special. The last time we sold one of these out of our shop was five years and one month ago, and it's not as if we didn't keep looking for Miss Violetta. There was a damaged version of this card floating around for a few years that we could have purchased for the shop but passed on and finally we've found another lovely one. Violetta Napierska might be said to be the girl who broke Dracula's heart! Not really, of course, but maybe kind-of :) There is a band in Los Angeles named "Darling Violetta" which, according to a piece I read on them, took the name from the way Bela Lugosi would address his letters to Violetta Napierska when they were lovers. There is another story, that Lugosi fell in love with her while working at the Budapest Theater, and even wrote her poetry, but that his love was unrequited. Poor Bela. I mean that! Anyone who has watched Ed Wood a couple of times (great movie!) definitely develops a soft spot for the guy.   Miss Napierska did, in any event, star in a number of silent German films. Outside of this, much of her life remains a mystery. She certainly was a beauty, though, and this image, though still findable once every few years, is certainly rare in this condition.  Please see the full card in our Red Poulaine Etsy shop, link in my profile. #redpoulaine #red_poulaine #etsy #historicalphotography #rppc #photography #black&white #blackandwhite #sepia #vintagephoto #vintagephotograph #vintagephotopostcard #theater #historictheater #musichall #cabaret #costume #actress #historicactress #antique #antiquepostcard #moviestar #violetta_napierska #silverscreen #silentmovies https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv1df2dj5Zw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=n07nb97hqkhs

About last night... I met this fun fab group of women at the @pasadenaplayhouse for the opening night of @niavardalos play #TinyBeautifulThings The play pulled at our heartstrings, made us laugh and cry, and gave us girls a night of fulfillment and joy. It’s always an amazing time to be out with these ladies! Head to the blog to read all about it, and see a little snippet from my Q&A with the cast of Tiny Beautiful Things. #dearsugar #pasadenaplayhouse #theatre #winewednesday #historictheater #mommyblogger #mno #momsnightout #girlsnight #momblogger #lamommies #losangelesmoms #losangelesmom #losangelesmomblogger #lablogger #losangelesblogger #pasadena #losangeles #lamommybloggertribe #lambt (at Pasadena Playhouse) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwI04qCAJmm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=dbxdlkuubd6g

The Magnificent Fox Theatre

The Magnificent Fox Theatre

Atlanta Georgia Going to the theater is always a great time out, but attending a show at the historic Fox Theater in Atlanta is an extra special treat. The theater was built in 1928 as a home for Atlanta’s Shriners Organization. The architecture was influenced by ancient temples and built in the “mosque” style of the Far East. Shortly after it was built due to the high cost of maintaining the…

Thanks to one of my fraternity Brothers, I had the opportunity to go to an amazing performance with a really great friend. I love downtown so much and this was the perfect way to enjoy downtown, say goodbye to a friend as he moves away, and have a really great weekend. Thanks again Brother. #InZAX @joe_byrd77 #downtownsanantonio #themajestic #lettheshowbegin #music #theatre #LiveMusic #historictheater #ticketmaster #parkingsucks (at Majestic Theatre)

Have you ever heard of the Auditorium Theater? I hadn’t until this past trip to Chicago. The Auditorium Theater actually has a long history. It was the first major building to be built after the Great Chicago Fire and was worked on by Frank Lloyd Wright. In its early days it actually contained a hotel, and an office building in addition to the theater. Present-day, the theater is part of Roosevelt University and is a host to a variety of shows!

Wonderful, and extremely unusual Belle Epoque costume image, circa 1905. No attribution for the artiste or photographer. Please note: it would appear as if the actress's body stocking offered a little more "definition" than the publisher or photographer deemed acceptable, and so a faux chain mail bikini bottom was drawn onto the negative plate after the fact! We've never run across this before, and we imagine this would result in the image's publication being a very limited one. This is an old favorite of mine that is no longer in the Red Poulaine shop. But, I just couldn't resist sharing it, since it would make a great costume for cosplay. I just love, love, love the fins (gills?) on her headwear. Aren't they wonderful? #redpoulaine #red_poulaine #etsy #historicalphotography #rppc #photography #black&white #blackandwhite #sepia #vintage #vintagepostcard #belleepoque #belle_epoque #vintagephoto #vintagephotograph #vintagephotopostcard #theater #historictheater #musichall #cabaret #costume #actress #historicactress #antique #antiquepostcard #victorian #vintagefashion #studio #portrait #risque #risquepostcard #seanymph #fantasy #cosplay #costumes https://www.instagram.com/p/BvvkytZDKw3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=e5bgivyejfd2
