Portrait of Ginette Lantelme, was a French stage actress, socialite, fashion icon, and courtesan. Considered by her contemporaries to be one of the most beautiful women of the Belle Époque. This picture was taken in 1910. Sadly she died the following year: In early July 1911, Lantelme, her husband Edwards, and a few of their friends boarded Edwards’ yacht, L’Aimée. On the night of July 24/25, Lantelme disappeared, and a few days later her body was discovered in the waters of the Rhine River. The official verdict was that the actress had drowned as the result of a tragic accident. Lantelme was also most likely under the influence of cocaine at the time of her death. However, many people speculated that Edwards had murdered his wife, though never proven. #victorianchaps #ginettelantelme #actress #celebrity #edwardian #vintage #beauty #goodolddays #oldphoto #fashion #nostalgia #pastlives #1910s #belleepoque #france #retro #history

#tbt to my first historical dress ever, made almost exactly to years ago for an evening at Słowacki Theater in Cracow. The dress was based on Lucille piece from 1912 and two years later I’m still in love with it (despite several details I would do diffrently now). And yet I still don’t have a single decent photo… #throwbackthursday #belleepoque #edwardian #gown #eveningdress #historical #dress (w: Teatr im. Juliusza Słowackiego w Krakowie)

Shelled mollusks produce a “pearl” when a microscopic irritant is trapped within its mantle folds. The mollusk creates a pearl sac to seal off the irritation. This is a part of the mollusk’s defense mechanism against a potentially threatening irritant such as a parasite inside the shell, or an attack from outside that injures the mantle tissue.
The mollusk’s mantle deposits layers of calcium carbonate in the form of the mineral aragonite or a mixture of aragonite and calcite that are held together by an organic horn-like compound called conchiolin. This combination is called nacre. Natural pearls are nearly 100% nacre (calcium carbonate and conchiolin). This secretion process is repeated many times, eventually producing a pearl.
Natural pearls are quite rare. This means that hundreds of pearl oysters or mussels must be gathered and opened just to find even one wild pearl. For this reason pearls were able to fetch extraordinary prices in the past. With the advent of cultured pearls there was a dip in the value of pearls as a reaction to the fact that they were now available to more than just the elite classes. In recent years there has been a steady increase in the value of natural pearls as buyers are drawn to the rarity of natural pearls once again.
“Gem” quality natural pearls are still very rare. Values are determined by size, shape, color, quality of surface, orient and luster.

L'une de mes adorables collègues m'a dit l'autre jour que, maintenant que j'avais atteint l'âge où le visage s'affaisse, il fallait privilégier les photos de dos

Ça tombe bien ! Ce sont celles que je préfère de notre week-end à @kingdomofelfia (et je promets, les rides sont là mais l'effondrement du faciès n'est pas encore tout à fait prononcé )

Se poser dans l'herbe, observer des pirates qui se démènent sur une barge qui flotte à peine, et se dire qu'on est finalement bien, là, dans l'herbe

Je suis hyper reconnaissante pour ce week-end d'évasion que nous avons passé à @kingdomofelfia avec le team d'élites
