Always a great excuse to let off some steam and harness your energies with the people in your life who matter the most! Whether its with family or friends- sometimes, you just need to give it up to Dionysus and have a time…
So with this in mind, we gathered 35 wicked vintage party photos to remind us of the long lineage of PARTY PEOPLE who came before us and who have left their legacy for us to muse and admire.
So, what do you say? Shall we get LITTY?!

He’s the Greatest Dancer! Bobby Banas’ Gets Down to the Nitty Gritty!

1 Comment

It’s a tragedy really that many of our world’s most talented people can go unnoticed for so long. But now, with the advent of the internet, we are constantly rediscovering precious gems of our rich collective history and culture!

Like, Bobby Banas!

Bobby Banas swinging his hips and hair for some major 1960s swag. 

You might have noticed this 60s bad ass popping up all over the interweb recently for his wild poppin’, non-stoppin’ style in a 1964 segment of The Judy Garland Show showcasing the latest youth dance craze – the Nitty Gritty!

Go figure that over 50 years after the fact, he would become a viral sensation. Time is funny like that . .  .

We say it all the time; style isn’t just what you wear – it’s how you live! And judging from this bad boy’s dance moves, Bobby has enough style to give for all of us.

Tell me after watching this you don’t feel inspired!

We were surprised/not surprised to find out this rebel dancer was also featured in the epitomizing classic masterpiece WEST SIDE STORY in the iconic Jets gang, and also made out with Marilyn Monroe in the 1950 flick “Let’s Make Love”.

To our knowledge, Bobby Banas, a resident New Yorker,  is live and well to this day.

Hope he’s enjoying his glory, and hope you are too.

Until next time,

eye of faith vintage- americana rama - 20

We’re showing our appreciation for the red, white, and blue and everything in between those bright stripes and white stars that make us love Americana!

Amer·i·ca·na

noun plural \ə-ˌmer-ə-ˈkä-nə, -ˌmər-, -ˌme-rə-, -ˈka-nə\

Definition of AMERICANA

Just to be clear.
eye of faith vintage- americana rama - 12
We’ve devised a delightful dowery of delights to celebrate the independence of a nation who continues to excite and influence the world over again and again. A rebel nation, America has come to stand for so much more in the context of our popular culture than just the country, itself. It’s the metaphorical, metaphysical, and imagined mythologies that make America the magic land of opportunity and freedom that we dream about to this day. Tales of rebellion, rejuvenation, martyrdom, and leisure . . .
A place to do exactly as one pleases. . .and in many ways, it really is. Enjoy this piece of true American bliss!
We literally couldn’t do it without you, so as long as you keep visiting, we shall keep delivering!
Special Thanks to all of our US Customers that really help make us the success we are.
Remember to keep sharing with your friends, and letting them know that this is a different kind of site, with a ton to offer, and a lot of fun to get lost in! Also, if you haven’t already, please LIKE US on Facebook, and FOLLOW US on Twitter (@theeyeoffaith)!
We are almost at the half-a-million mark, so help us keep soaring!

Where would we be without our friends?

Here at The Eye of Faith we are wise enough to know the importance of the people we keep close in our lives.

It’s a method that has been tried, tested, and true . . .

To only keep the ones that exhibit that simple true blue.

So, here’s a {PHOTO BLAST} for your viewing pleasure

(We realize it’s been a while since our last)!

We hope you enjoy!

ELLA FITZGERALD: You Smile, I Smile . . .

Just don’t give up trying to do what you really want to do. Where there is love and inspiration, I don’t think you can go wrong.

-Ella Fitzgerald

It’s the eternal diva’s birthday today, and we couldn’t get away from showcasing her classic elegance, perseverance, and vivacious sense of self.

We think that she has a soul that should never be forgotten. Luckily, we will always have her music to lift us up off the ground. Words really can’t describe her talents in that area. Just listen to her cover of “For Once In My Life” in Berlin, 1968, above to see why!

Hopefully these photos help invoke the spirit of Ella Fitzgerald to make you smile throughout the day.

With less than a week left, we wonder how your holiday shopping goes?

We are not your run-of-the-mill online boutique. No, no. Instead, we have dedicated our time and efforts to find the best and most sought after vintage pieces, and curated it into a collection that invigorates life into these wayward articles of the past.

Remember that billions of pounds of clothes are thrown into the landfills every year, which is a damn shame considering the cyclical nature of fashion.

Having true style is more than following trends. It is a notion from your soul as to who you really are. It doesn’t have to cost thousands of dollars. All you need is {theEye} to help spot the finds for you.

And don’t forget to follow us on Twitter, and like us on Facebook!

See you soon!

SCENTS MEMORY

When Clark Gable, my mothers childhood idol died in 1961 I saw my mother cry for the first time…and I didn’t understand why. A year later I understood.

(little me)

Early on the Sunday Morning of August 5 1962 I was sitting at the breakfast table eating a bowl of Trix.  With Motion Picture magazine open before me, I was reading all about the adventures of Liz and Dick in Rome. That summer I was so engrossed in the incredible drama and getting a real education at twelve all about morals and Hollywood, and how mean the ladies on my block could be about a divorcee. Liz and my Mother were the most famous divorced women that anyone on my block knew of. Between them they kept the hens of Orchid Street clucking and pecking for hours.  Suddenly in a crackly transistor radio second  Shelly Fabares’ Johnny Angel was cut off by the announcer. “Actress Marilyn Monroe was…
