I'm creating another post of some black and white photos with fabulous movie stars and their dressing tables and vanities from the Silent Film Era and Golden Age of Hollywood. I can't believe how many more pictures I discovered and look forward to sharing them with you soon!
Isn't this a cute kitten? If you can adopt a cat or dog from Sydney Pet Rescue and Adoption or your local animal shelter, I'm sure they would bring you great joy. I hope you have a lovely weekend!
Check out this glamorous white room from an old foreign film made back in 1960 with Liselotte Pulver (1929 - living) called "Das Glas Wasser" or "A Glass of Water." Wait till you see the shell bed! It shows up around 1:30 on the video clip.
I think the movie is in German... Apparently Liselotte is Swiss, but she speaks German. I have no idea what she is singing about, but she seems rather upset by the end of this clip. Who is that masked man in a cape she's having visions of in the mirror? Oh look... there's a white vanity between the two tall windows. Don't miss her funny puppy dog on the pillow! Some guy enters the room at the end... maybe he will bring her "A Glass of Water" and they will live happily ever after?
Great... now I'm looking up shells and shell beds when I should be goin to bed myself! Does this happen to you too? Thank goodness I'm not the only one! Must be something in the August air as it seems Jennifer at The Peak of Chic did the same thing! The Peak of Chic is one of my favorite blogs! Check out her post on Rococo Revery about some fabulous things created in the shape of a shell... some hand towels with shell motifs and chairs and sconces in the shape of shells, and even another shell bed!
I'm curious to know more about the movie, "Das Glas Wasser" and how the glamorous movie star ended up in the giant clam shell of a bed! Well, no matter how she got there... I'm sure she'll love this bed!
The always glamorous Ms. Jean Harlow lounging in her lavish boudoir... her spectacular bed is laden with satiny sheets and pillows, her incredible vanity with sensuous perfumes and jars of creams nearby, she is wearing her beautiful fluffy robe, lyin in her spectacular bed, talkin on the phone, gazing at herself in a big hand mirror, eatin chocolate bon bons, and powder puffin her nose!!! Oh what a life! Hubby is not thrilled but still takes her out for Dinner at Eight!

This is a wonderful video of about the glamorous movie stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood. There are more lovely vanities in the video too! It has music so you might want to turn off the volume on my player at the bottom of the page while viewing.
