how it started: I'm gonna have a go at the Arsène Lupin books, they sound fun!
how it's going: I'm gonna have to find the Boileau-Narcejac pastiches. And the Sherlock Lupin & I children series. And Lupin III
#arsène lupin#only two books left in the canon people#three if you count Les milliards d'Arsène Lupin#what am I doing still on tumblr I have to finish Victor de la brigade mondaine

Yet another funny thing is that I'm learning and looking up to a lot of sephardic jewish women to the point that I've had to learn a ton from my ashkenazi shul. I honestly need to broaden my learning, but some of the first people I happened to learn a ton from were jewish women
#jumblr#jew by choice#jewish conversion#personal thoughts tag#also very funny because i am... decidedly Not a woman#it's also funny considering many jews in america are ashkenazi#i love you sephardim i love you jewish women <3#also i love you jewish people who document their lives and educate people <3#honestly those jewish vloggers have made me more excited about 'boring' and mondaine everyday life#if anybody has their own little uhhh parasocial love for jewish educators let me know haha#i say ashkenazi shul mostly because it seems like most members are ashkenazi. not that we like. ban others. sorry for the wording

Rien n'est plus "monroviesque", plus farce en fait, en pratique, que cette drôle de prétention des salons au "bon goût" ... au "raffinement" ... Dans n'importe quel salon, en dix minutes d'assemblage, il se commet plus d'impairs, d'horreurs de goût et de tact, que dans tous les Corps de garde de France en dix ans... Le seul fait d'aller dans le monde dénote déjà chez le bonhomme une impudeur de cochon... une sensibilité de bûche. Le Monde, c'est un vrai paradis pour les sapajous exhibitionnistes.
L-F Céline, Bagatelles

Steichen era già pittore e fotografo affermato sulle due sponde dell’Atlantico quando, nei primi mesi del 1923, gli offrirono l’incarico più prestigioso e certamente più redditizio nel campo della fotografia commerciale, quello di fotografo capo per “Vogue” e “Vanity Fair”, le autorevoli e influenti riviste Condé Nast di moda e costume. Nel corso di quindici anni Steichen produsse un corpus di opere di ineguagliabile genialità e si avvalse del proprio talento straordinario, accompagnato da una prorompente vitalità, per rappresentare e valorizzare la cultura contemporanea e i massimi esponenti della vita politica, letteraria, teatrale, operistica, con un occhio di riguardo per il mondo dell’alta moda. Avendo personalmente frequentato gli ambienti artistici più progressisti in patria e all’estero ed essendo un eclettico di carattere, era l’interprete ideale dell’alta moda in fotografia. Il suo era uno stile preciso, sofisticato e puntuale ed è evidente la sua influenza sull’opera di Richard Avedon, Horst P. Horst, George Hoyningen-Huene, Bruce Weber e non solo. L’archivio Steichen presso Condé Nast custodisce, oltre alle formidabili fotografie di moda, oltre 2000 stampe originali tra cui alcuni eccellenti ritratti di Winston Churchill, Cecil B. DeMille, Marlene Dietrich, Amelia Earhart, Greta Garbo, George Gershwin, Frank Lloyd Wright e di un’infinità di altri personaggi famosi. Ma stranamente finora è stato esposto e pubblicato solo un numero infinitesimale di queste stampe. Gli anni venti e trenta rappresentano il momento culminante della carriera fotografica di Steichen e tra le opere da lui realizzate per “Vogue” e “Vanity Fair” si annoverano alcune delle più stupefacenti fotografie del XX secolo.

Search "Nearest City + Gala" in Google and you too can have this experience, though I can't promise anyone your age will be there.
#I wish we had rallye mondain in the US#I guess you can sign up for a country club#But here I am talking like an embarrassed millionaire#Instead of the poor indebted laborer I am
