#thirties
Why’s Judith Anderson looking glum in this beautiful portrait from Blood Money (1933)? Could it be because this blog has been rather quiet lately?!
Unfortunately, I’ve been unwell since early September. But I’m hoping, now that I’m having some good/goodish days as well as bad, to return to blogging.
After all, the Dame deserves to be celebrated!

These are her slippers. ‘Throw me my slips, Danny,’ she used to say. She had little feet for her height. Put your hands inside the slippers. They are quite small and narrow, aren’t they?
She forced the slippers over my hands, smiling all the while, watching my eyes. ‘You never would have thought she was so tall, would you?’ she said, ‘These slippers would fit a tiny foot. She was so slim too. You would forget her height, until she stood beside you. She was every bit as tall as me. But lying there in bed she looked quite a slip of a thing, with her mass of dark hair, standing out from her face like a halo.’
-Rebecca (1938) by Daphne du Maurier
I like the echoes in the text: from ‘slippers’ to 'slips’ and 'slip of a thing’. They reinforce the idea that obsessive Mrs Danvers has a one-track mind.
The movie still - rather wonderfully unnerving, with Judith Anderson’s housekeeper ‘watching [the second wife’s] eyes’ - suggests that this moment from the novel was filmed even though it doesn’t appear in the final version of Hitchcock’s Rebecca(1940).

The newly restored ‘Rhapsody in Blue’ sequence from King of Jazz(1930)
Se acerca mi cumpleaños y no puedo estar más agradecido con la vida por llegar a los “Thirties” muy dignos, bien vividos, bien bailados, llenos de amor y caprichos cumplidos. La vida claramente aquí no comienza pero sí puedo decir que aquí comienza la plenitud.
PD: Claro que la celebración será épica. Esperen noticias.

In the late 30′s, lorry company Jensen teamed up with tube maker Reynolds to create some lightweight trucks. At the time the speed limit was 20mph for vehicles over 3 tons. Carrying light aircraft components, these vehicules made an appreciated increase in terms of productivity, allowing the truck to achieve almost twice more deliveries a day!

ZOOMING: We love how information we find online gives a backstory to old prints, like this 1930 etching of a Chicago air race titled “Zooming.” Turns out that the airplane’s designer, Matty Laird, rushed it into production and built it just for the race in one month. After being tested for a mere ten minutes in the air, aviator Charles “Speed” Holman went on to win the 100-mile event and set a closed-course, non-military speed record in the process. Not only that, we tracked down the actual plane depicted in the print! It’s in the New England Air Museum near the Hartford, CT, airport, where it’s on display.

PREVENTION is better than the cure!
We are plagued by advertising scaring us into buying wrinkle cream the moment we turn 30, but we must take care of our skin before that.
Facial massages, oils, drinking water, vitamin c, staying out of the sun and many more can prevent dry and ageing skin before it happens.
But no matter your age, don’t give up! These can be beneficial to all ages, however the sooner you start, the better.
