dames

i really enjoy the vintage ad artwork by c. gesmar. his work mostly was really cool 'portraits' of headlining women at the moulin rouge in paris from about 1918 through the 1930s. i have 'doriane' as pictured below hung in my room as a wonderfully oversized piece above my night stand and i would like to get her some friends from gesmar's body of work.

isn't she a beaute? in addition to getting her some friends of her own genre, i was thinking it might be cool to hang a few vintage budoir shots near by to juxtapose the fantasy with the reality. i found these broads, pictured below, online and was thinking of having them printed and framed to keep the watercolor ladies company.


and then who doesn't want a vintage pic of a kid in a paper moon with a gun?


thoughts?
