1920’s Hairstyles
A collection of 1920’s photographs, depicting some of the hairstyles of the time, like the kiss curl, the orchid bob, the charleston cut, coconut bob, earphones hairstyle, cottage loaf (bun) and popular styles you’ll probably never see in a period drama like extreme windblown style, the frizzy hairstyle and the Poodle cut.

Here are some extremely useful pose guides made by Aomori over on deviantArt.

This is mostly just a reference for myself because I just lost these and couldn’t remember where to find them, so I’m not going to bother tagging. But I thought some of my followers could also possibly use these too.

My all-time favourite artists » Sandro Botticelli

Italian. Painter from the early Renaissance. He belonged to the Florentinian school under the patronage of Lorezo de Medici. His work has been seen to represent the linear grace of the Early Renaissance painting. His whole work was rediscovered in the XIXth century, after centuries of being forgotten.

Ohaguro is a Japanese aristocratic term describing the custom of dyeing one’s teeth black. In Japan, it existed from ancient times, and was seen among the civilians until the end of the Meiji period (1868-1912). Pitch black things such as glaze like lacquer were seen as beautiful.
