Lady Gaga when she was just a Waitress with a Dream

Note to those chasing fame: make sure to burn all of those seedy photo shoots you did with amateur photographers in which your lazy eye makes one too many appearances. Photos via CNN Her Jersey Shore fashion sense aside, looking at these photos taken in 2005 by her restaurant co-worker at the time, we can see…

Explore this Miniature Apocalyptic City

This just about combines two of the most fascinating things to me; miniature art and the depiction of post-apocalyptic world. Photographer Lori Nix is clearly not your average photographer. Rather than going out and looking for her subjects, Lori builds her own by hand which can take up to 7 months each. Her scenes can…

MEN’S JUMPSUITS: Why, oh why are they a thing of the Past?

“The ultimate fashion climax”. Wait, what? I’m not sure which I find more amazing; the jumpsuits themselves, the absolute seriousness of the bearded models or the advertising copy… Take a closer look at the small print in these priceless advertisements from the 1970s, describing the fashion ‘climax’ a certain generation would probably rather forget. “Fits…

The Eiffel Tower was once a giant advertising billboard

Did you know that for almost a decade (9 years to be exact), the Citroën car company ‘rented‘ the Eiffel Tower and had it’s brand name emblazoned on it with 125,000 glowing lights? The sign was erected in 1925 and remained there until Citroën went bankrupt for the first time in 1934.

The Lost Style Subculture of Elvis Presley Rebels

What are the Swiss known for? Beautiful skiing and great chocolate? Handy pocket knives and offshore accounts? Founding the Red Cross and being the only country in the heart of Europe to resist fascism? All good points. But did you know that Switzerland was also the birthplace of an extreme rebel youth subculture, based on an…

That 70s Home

Browsing through these photos however, of 60s & 70s decor from the Encyclopdia of Good Decorating and Home Improvement, I couldn’t help but fall in love with every single overly-textured, madly accessorized, color-blinding décor style. They…
