Enjoying a summer day on a log rocking chair. Private Collection.
This gentleman has an easy air of sophistication, dressed in all white with a neat bowtie and open book on his lap. He looks as if he’s escaped the city for a bit of downtime and fresh air. This real photo postcard portrait was taken in the 1920’s.
Here’s a closer look at him.

LOL! My pocket money has to be spent on more pressing matters, so I have kept myself disciplined and away from the temptations of eBay and the likes.

I haven’t visited any blog lately so don’t take it personally. I have been avoiding *my own blog* lest I become tempted hahaha! I’ll make it a point to visit tomorrow though, and get envious of your new acquisitions. :-D

All of the new 1920’s cards are on Facebook with a couple of “extras” that I which were mine, I make a point of not adding the really naughty ones, too many “Ameners” there, wouldn’t want to upset them, lol well not too much.

Ah yes, then I’ve seen them. Fb isn’t the ideal platform for that theme, in fact they’ve been quite ridiculous with their censorship of nudity.

I’ve seen that, a “friend” had his account frozen for posting nipples, none of my 1920’s are that naughty, just risqué 😉

No nudes? I have one I couldn’t post on there without censoring it, and that’s sad considering we’re almost 100 years later lol

I think the Louise Brooks person was warned off and has pictures with stars over the “naughty” parts, he sells retro cards, I don’t think much to the quality so I’ll stick to originals although I do have several cd’s of 1920’s copies but the quality is very poor

For some reason I think this photo was taken in South Africa. No idea why it is telling me that 😀. I would love to see Summertime75’s blog. Do you have a link?

Oh yes! I know your blog. I dip into it occasionally. Surprises me that anyone would object to anything you post. It is all so tame and also quite lovely.

It it rather tame but I originally started just posting actress and social cards but it seems to have morphed which some don’t like which I can understand, l don’t use any links on Facebook but I do with my Gabrielle Ray blog, although I’ve had a couple of complaints about some posts lol, can’t please everyone

No, and particularly online. Whatever happened to “changing channels” and forgetting about it, instead of whining ad nauseum in print!

PS I hate the way girl nipples “need” to be censored but man ones don’t. Wouldn’t mind so much if it wasn’t for all the floppy man boobs that are foisted upon us. Beautiful boy and girl boobs should be celebrated!

I will never understand why fb is so strict this way. Probably because they want to appeal to everyone, including fringe prudes, for marketing/profit reasons, at the expense of common sense.
