The Black Angel, 1946



Black Angel, 1946. It's a shame that Peter Lorre didn't usually get bigger parts, i think he was marvelous.

 Miss Marlowe has a pretty swell flat..


And some nice dresses too.

My first gif! "I think you are in love with that man!"

In love

"I think you are in love with that man!"
"Not in the least!"

I know shes lying.

When flappers ruled the Earth: how dance helped women's liberation -The Guardian

Josephine Baker at the Casino of Paris in 1939.

A really interesting article about women of the 20s, Charleston, Josephine Baker and the liberation on women in The Guardian.

"Having endured racial abuse and discrimination back home, Baker was now advertising beauty products that allowed white women to mimic her own glossy cropped hair, her burnished skin and supple silhouette. It was an astonishing turnaround for her. But it also demonstrated the power that the symbols of the jazz age – its clothes, music and dancing – had to cut across social barriers."

Helsinki Traditional Jazz Dance Company


Some of you might know that i'm a real passioned dancer. I have a ballroom background, but three years ago i found something that really feel is the thing for me, traditional (or some say authentic) jazz dance! We have a small performance group too, in gthe photo above (i'm the one on far right) we are performing at the Helsinki Burlesque Festival few months ago.
Those costumes are designed by Anni (third from right) and me and made by Anni. She is my partner in crime on many fields...

And here we are at Kulttuurikeskus Caisa after our last performance on thusday.
