Deco-dence

This video is amazing!
Footage of the SS Normandie, a grand passenger ship, from 1938. I personally have never seen video of people just doing their thing in the 1930s, only hollywood films. Although the music is a little on the creepy side, the ship looks beautiful, and I miss the days where everyone was so glamorous all the time.

The ship's maiden voyage in 1935 included Ernest Hemingway, Marlene Dietrich, Salvador Dali and Grace Kelly! Can you imagine? I'm pulling the time travel card. Count me in.






The SS Normandie is being featured at an exhibit in New York for the next year, at the South Street Seaport Museum. The exhibit is called DECODENCE and will feature works by the various artists who contributed to the gorgeous design of the ship's interior.
