From the Archives: Cosplay the Classics: Greta Garbo

My closet cosplay of Greta Garbo based on her styling c. 1928-9

Commemorating 96 years since the release of The Mysterious Lady (1928), here's a little throwback from the archives!

Six years ago (early in my closet cosplaying days) I put together these self portraits and a short essay inspired by Greta Garbo's styling in 1928-9. The essay is a little paean to the construction of Garbo's glamour and star image:

While the look was inspired by Garbo's hair/makeup styling for The Mysterious Lady and The Kiss (1929), the photographs themselves were very loosely inspired by Edward Steichen's 1928 portraits of Garbo. (And when I say loosely, I mean loosely! My mind blanked on Steichen's name when I sat down in front of the camera, so I couldn't pull up reference images. These photos were exclusively based on my memory of the photos at the time! 😬)

I’ve truly begun my makeup artist journey, and am finally beginning to post my work on my Instagram, so I might as well post it here, too.

The first week of classes covered “Hollywood Glam”, which is exactly what it says on the tin: vintage inspired, red carpet ready, expensive and, of course, glamorous.

If you’d like to follow my official makeup Instagram account and give the post some love (as well as see the profiles of those I collaborated with in order to get these lovely shots), the username is:

I would post the link itself but apparently Tumblr doesn’t like instagram related URLs, haha.

Thanks in advance. ❤️

It’s that time of year again, and Christmas is just around the corner! You might consider a chinoiserie Christmas tree if you’re looking for a unique and eye-catching way to decorate your home for the holidays.

hello! i was wondering if you had any advice on how you merged the medievalesque fantasy stuff with the 1920s stuff for your grand galloping 20s princess designs? i've been working on a similar project with a different period and i've been running up empty on ways to make it look cohesive - but i looove how the princesses came out and that's the kind of balance i wanna hit! how did you do it, what kind of research did you do?

Look into concept art and character designs in old Disney films.
