I'm still enchanted and mesmerized by my stay at the historic Hotel Fort Des Moines for business travel this week.
This beautiful, old hotel, where former celebrities, foreign royalty and presidents alike have stayed, has captured both my heart and my imagination. I have researched that it originally opened in 1919.
I hope to stay here again on my next trip to Des Moines, for business or for pleasure.

Mae West once stayed here. I wonder if she ashed her cigarette in this tray. She may have.

Rialto Theater
The Rialto TheaterHailed as "the ultimate photoplay house," the Beaux-Arts style Rialto Theater opened September 7, 1918. Tacoma's Rialto was part of a national movie house chain and as such, the stage space, orchestra pit and dressing rooms were at a bare minimum. The lobby was also considerably smaller than what is present today.
These vaudeville-era theater architects concentrated on the auditorium, seeking acoustically successful theaters and concert halls as models for the ones they designed. The Rialto resembles Vienna's 1916 Redoutensaal, the first "shoe box" shaped orchestral hall. The original ornate plaster decorations include replicas of cupids and patriotic eagles, which remain in good shape today.
By the 1990s, when Tacoma and the Broadway Theater District took on the task of restoring the Rialto, it had become a run-down, second-run discount movie house. Today, it is once again an active player in the prosperity of downtown Tacoma.

Mae West (17 Aug 1893 - 22 Nov 1980). Known for quotes such as:
"It's not the men in your life that count, it's the life in your men."
"Marriage is a great institution, but I'm not ready for an institution."
"When I'm good, I'm very good, but when I'm bad, I'm better."
"Is that a gun in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me?"
Old Hollywood glam, art deco design, darkened theatres, black and white movies and 1940's music have provided inspiration for several new designs for the coming winter. Deep rich saturated color, textures and faceting, elaborate and mixed metals, sparkle and stage stealing drama have captured my imagination. Here we go!
'Come on up and see me sometime, big fella!'
~ Mae West
Fabulous Art Deco style teal faceted vintage lucite hoops are complemented by tiny sterling silver faceted geometric cubes and suspended on sterling silver earwires.
Quelques-unes des œuvres les plus remarquables exposées au musée sont : Port Alguer (1924), Le Spectre du sex-appeal (1932), Autoportrait mou avec bacon frit (1941), Poésie d’Amerique-Les athlètes cosmiques (1943), Galarina (1944-45), La corbeille à pain (1945), Leda atomique (1949), et Galatea des sphères (1952).
On pourra également remarquer l’ensemble des œuvres réalisées par l’artiste spécialement réalisées pour le Théâtre-Musée, comme par exemple la salle Mae West, La Salle Palais du Vent, le Monument à Francesc Pujols et la Cadillac pluvieuse. De plus, sont exposées des œuvres d’autres artistes que Dalí voulut inclure dans le musée : El Greco, Marià Fortuny, Modest Urgell, Ernest Meissonier, Marcel Duchamp, Wolf Vostell, Antonio Pitxot et Evarist Vallès, parmi d’autres.
Le Théâtre-Musée Dalí doit être perçu comme un tout, comme une grande œuvre de Salvador Dalí, car tout y a été conçu et dessiné par l’artiste afin d’offrir au visiteur une véritable expérience où il pénètre dans un monde captivant et unique.

SEWING PROJECT - Simplicity's Out of Print pattern # 4550 from 2005. Made the Caftan in early 2009 for the PR Vintage contest, but, the pattern turned out not to be a vintage pattern.
Caftan with Sexy Actresses/Movie Stars on the fabric believed to include:
Jane Russell, Ann Sheridan, Grace Kelly, Veronica Lake, Marilyn Monroe, Gretta Garbo, Elizabeth (Lizabeth) Scott, Mae West and Ann Margaret.
The Caftan's were popular in the 1970's. In the weekly TV Show, "3's Company" the landlords wife always seem to be wearing one of them, like it was her characters' trademark.
Each of the room in the main building had people painted on the door. Room 1 was George Straight. This is room 2 and has the duel of Mae and WC. I found this an odd way to manage but it takes all kinds. The movie they made together was My Little Chickadee.
Bracelet on display as part of the "Jazz Age" exhibit at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Cleveland, Ohio, in the United States.
There are many ways to cut gemstones. In 1902, the Asscher cut was developed. The Asscher cut is square or rectangular with wide corners, a high crown, a small table and large culet. It became wildly popular in the 1920s for its geometric form and step-cut shape. Asscher cut gemstones went well with Cubist jewellry, which became move lavish and abstract.
This Cubist bracelet is made of platinum and diamonds. Although the maker is not known, it was probably made in France in the 1920s. It was once owned by the actress Mae West.
