God, what is it about smoking women? I should really keep track of how many cigarettes I showcase.

Ethel Waters - all about the jazz

Oh, my god, that perfect boutineer. The cane, the gloves, the matching hat. Naturally, the brilliant smile. She is pure, lackadaisical class.

Clara Corbett playing Puck, of Shakespeare fame.  

She’s female, dressed in top hat, all-in-one white waistcoat and bow tie, dancer’s high-waisted trousers and tattooed ‘nude’ suit. Imagine the Emcee in Cabaret crossed with Marlene Dietrich and Jane Horrocks and you have Clare Corbett’s sprightly sprite…

I have a special weakness for female Pucks, and I love the flamboyant costuming on this one. This is everything I long to be.

submitted by l-amour-a-trois, thank you!

Now this is a woman who clearly knows the power of one’s hat.

dapperanddandy:

Very Classy (by nzh3)

I know half of my posts say, “that jacket.” So here, I will add some variation: “that jacket, that top hat, and the YELLOW.” So glad to see some daring color combinations! 
(This would also look striking on someone who isn’t rail-thin, which is a pleasant change.)

“Deco Dandies…self (left) and friend in vintage 1920s tails and topper at the Hawkesbay Club in Napier, NZ.” 
I love it when people take no quarter while being fancy! How delectable. You are both jawdropping!
