Vivian Maier Discovered

Vivian Maier was a Chicago nanny and amateur street photographer. Due to delinquent payments near the end of her life, the contents of her storage locker, including 10,000 - 20,000 negatives of Chicagoans and their neighborhoods, were sold in an antique auction.

Since discovering the images, new owner John Maloof showcases them through his blog (vivianmaier.blogspot.com) and various gallery exhibits, which have helped generate some major curiosity for the woman on the other side of the lens.

Scents and Styles of the 1920s

Gangs, blood and violence aren't really my thing, so it's semi-amazing to me how completely absorbed I have become in HBO's new series Boardwalk Empire. As long as there is a steady stream of historically accurate costumes, hairstyles, backdrops and vernacular, and somewhere for me to hide when it gets too suspenseful, I will probably keep on watching.

Here's a fun, little article about perfumes and fragrances during the 1920s that reminded me of the show.
