This a photo of some of the talented set builders of the BABYLON set for INTOLERANCE {1916} directed by D.W. GRIFFITH [b. January 22, 1875 - July 23, 1948] ♒️🔮👑 rocking some beautiful #vintage #mens #workwear #vibes 🔥🔥🔥 these dedicated men worked tirelessly to build this mammoth mile long ancient city on the desolate corner of Sunset and Hollywood Boulevard under the intense Los Angeles sun 🔥 Over four thousand extras were gathered, rehearsed, and dressed to the Gods for the unheard of pay of $2 a day + lunch + travel fare to bring the “Feast of Belshazzar” to life in all its decadent glory complete with giant plaster elephant columns 🐘, massive intricately carved and researched thrones, altars, exotic animals, hanging gardens, lavish parades of opulent gemstone dripping extras and full-on chariot races 🤯 Even by today’s standards this would be extremely over the top and they would easily use CGI to digitally map the crowds and monstrous scenery...however, not during the Golden Dawn of Hollyweird 👁 these men painstakingly worked to bring the directors vision to life - a sweeping three and half hour saga in four parts with subtitle of “Love’s Struggle Through the Ages” spanning centuries of time ⏳ it’s a time machine in many senses as it travels between the ancient past, to the daze of Christ, into the Renaissance to the {present} / now {past} 🕰 it is regarded now as a veritable masterpiece and an essential building block in modern day #cinemastyle and #aesthetic, however it was a major flop at the box office as the broken plot and lengthy running time was a huge setback which ultimately set the high hopes and dreams of Griffith back to zero. His legacy was over, and the city of Babylon became a ghost #old ollywood haunting the neighbourhood until it was eventually torn down as a fire hazard in 1919 🔥 it is however, remembered today for its wild #vintagestyle and sheer #innovation 🎞 indeed, no gigantic blockbuster would exist without INTOLERANCE and for that we are all eternally grateful D.W. GRIFFITH ♒️ and your Aquarian ambition #happybirthday #dwgriffith #styleidol #vintage #vintagehollywood #hollywoodbabylon #vintagefilm #filmstyle #film

“Tis the perception of the beautiful, A fine extension of the faculties, Platonic, universal, wonderful, drawn from the stars, and filtered through the skies....Without which life would be extremely dull.” -LORD BYRON 🖤☠️🖤 {JANUARY 22} Today we celebrate the life of legendary Lord Byron . . . Poet and leader of the Romantic movement, notorious playboy, rebel dandy supreme, and Aquarius King ♒️ In his prime his celebrity in England was that of a modern day rock star with much scandalous notoriety attached to his name. He had a disdain for society, but also indulged in its many luxuries (especially women...and some men, too 🤔)! In fact, he took the Victorian notion of keeping mementos of his lovers to the next level by saving clippings of their pubic hairs in envelopes labeled with their names 😱🙄 He also had a penchant for the macabre, placing a coffin at the end of his dining table even drinking from a monkeys skull that had been converted to a chalice 💀🤷🏻‍♂️♒️ It is even proposed that he was the inspiration for Bram Stoker’s Dracula 🧛🏻‍♂️🍷⚰️ whatever stories are out there, we may never know the truth of the matter apart from the enigma that is LORD BYRON 🔥He committed himself to an exile from England and died at the young age of 36 of “fever” 🤦🏻‍♂️ Whatever the case, he is regarded as one of England’s most important writers, and his style is still iconic and relevant to this day with many major #fashion houses pulling from his eclectic flare 👁 In solidarity with his #vintage #style spirit we are conjuring the Byronic Hero in some gorgeous #rare #victorian #velvet #longsleeve #embroidered #silk #oddfellows #robes which we currently have in our {SHOP} #online as well as a few select pieces in our booth at the @hamiltonantiquemall 🕯 but not for long, so don’t miss out on your chance to adorn yourself in this beauty 🔮 + + + Read more about this tragic hero on our blog (link in bio) and enjoy 30% off #sale shopping online until February 1, 2020! #vintageshop #vintagefashion #lordbyron #dandy #mensstyle #mensfashion #unusual #rarevintage #antiqueclothing #secretsociety #timelesscool #timetravel #victoriana #shopvintage #hamiltonvintage #hamont

Also has some spectacular brass metal graphic embellishments for a little extra luxe 🔥 Incredibly soft, and dark like the night...a piece of a weird history of a gang of benevolent rebels who spread charity and hope to their community - all whilst performing ancient mystic rites in secret lodges (many still operating today) 😎 this one was from a lodge in Southern Ontario sometime between 1840-1900 🔮 🙏🏻 💀 ⚰️ The crest would be worn facing front, but chances are this would look super wicked “backwards” with the snaps facing front for an epic embroidered jacket masterpiece 🙌🏻 get it while it’s hot....and reminder for the next 11 daze we have 30% OFF online in the {SHOP} on this, and other cool time traveled pieces ⏳ and #freeshipping to the USA 🇺🇸 • • • So if you’re a #collector and into #weird #rare #unusual #antique #costumes #regalia or #curiosities check it out 🕰 time is but a construct, but it doesn’t stop clocks from ticking . . . {PAST} ⌛️ {PRESENT} ⏳ {FUTURE} 🚀 you really can have it all . . . @theeyeoffaith 👁 • • • #vintage #vintageshop #shopvintage #onlinevintage #etsyshop #antiqueclothing #antiquefashion #vintagefashion #oddfellows #fraternity #ivystyle #victorianfashion #rarevintage #rarefind #oddfellowsvintage #weirdvintage

😎 AQUARIUS SEASON ♒️ Also reminds me of this quote: “Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imagined. “ by Henry David Thoreau 💯 ready to take life by the horns, and the world by storm ☔️?!?! Some famous Aquarius’ are Rosa Parks, Abraham Lincoln, Oprah Winfrey, Galileo, Charles Darwin, James Dean, Harry Styles, and Thomas Edison 💡 These visionaries are often misunderstood, but force us all to look beyond the status-quo and create a better world 🌎💜 🔮 they are pioneers...albeit, usually a little misunderstood 🤪 swipe to see the most Aquarius moment ever by Kooky Queen YOKO ONO performing live with her man John Legend and rock n roll legend Chuck Berry 😂🤣😂 the #vibe is real! So, let’s go with the flow of the water bearer, and see where it take us 🌊✌🏻🌈 last illustration by recently departed David Palladini who illustrated the famous (and aptly named) AQUARIAN TAROT deck 💐 Posted @withregram @costarastrology Use this month to think about a world you'd actually want to live in. Be as unrealistic as possible. #aquariusseason #aquarius #astrology #zodiac #wearetheweirdosmister #wearetheweirdos #dreambig #yokoono #screaming #davidpalladini #davidpalladinizodiac #vintagestyle #vintageblog #vintageblogger #visionary #iconic #legends #goconfidentlyinthedirectionofyourdreams
