Bygone Fashion

Just discovered a great livejournal style blog, Bygone Fashion. Here are some images by the photographer Mark Shaw who shot some of the most classic and elegant fashion photos of the 1950s/1960s and was also known for his  documentation of the Kennedys home life.

Chicks Who Smoke

I was recently alerted to this blog, Chicks Who Smoke. It concerns exactly that - women smoking. Lots of sexy black and white snaps of it. A celebration of the insouciant act that is constantly (and tediously) vilified by most of the press these days. Proof that no matter how bad something is for you, if you look good while doing it then it just don't matter none.
