Teleport me back to 1940s Glamour

Posted in - I will take inspiration any place I can find it on March 10th 2014 59 Comments

I want to walk into a beautiful night club with Nat King Cole singing and playing Nature Boy while his beautiful voice engulfs the room. The scene is set with men wearing suits  women wearing elegant gownsand both slow dancing to the angelic sound of the artists voice. The room is filled with couples dancing the night away in a lovely fancy hotel hall. There is an abundance of glamour and romance swirling the room. I wish I could teleport back in time wearing a satin gown letting the music consume me as Nat King Cole kills it on the piano.

 

An example of a perfect moment like this is in the movie  The Notebook. Here displayed in the scene in a glamorous era the man charmingly asking  for her hand in marriage.

 

 

I love her satin gown beautiful makeup and dashing hair.

 

Rita Hayworth who is also known for her glamorous style was the epitome of 1940s glamour and elegance. As one can see she is wearing her famous dress in the film Gilda. The movie was made in 1946 and the picture displays her iconic style and allure.

They called it the Golden Age and rightly so. It was an age of Hollywood glamour with jazz big band and swing music. There were tons of fancy places to get dolled up on a night out on the town. I love the glitz and glam of this era. I will have to plan one of my own fabulous 1940s parties soon.

 

What decade would you teleport back to if you could?

    I think I would go forward in future given the choice. No decade speaks to me. There is quite a bit of romance involved in the past but I think I would be bogged down by the day to day of living without all of the conveniences I have grown so accustomed to.

    Who knows maybe the forties would be good for me? I just look at the past and think how bored I would be. So bratty on my part.

    Awesome post being a vintage jewelry dealer I would say
    the art deco area 20s the designs were amazing and the times
    were wild. I would however want it to be before the stock
    market crash =)

    I dont know which decade I would choose if I could go back in time but for this moment I would go to the 40s because you made it look so amazing! I have always loved the scenes in old movies where they go to dinner clubs with a full band and have music and dancing and everybody wears formal clothes!

    Since we are being honest (thanks Chandler for leading the way) I will just say what I think. I dont want to have to live in the past unless I am rich. I used to say I would love to live in Jane Austins time or during Louis IV reign. Then it came to me that I could get sent back in time and be a serf or a tenant farmer. No guarantee I would be in the french court. In summary I would check on the how many qualifications I could put on the time travel before I committed.
