Club queen on the downtown scene
Prowling around at night
You're not mean, you're just born to be seen
Born to be wild
A little party never hurt no one, that's why it's alright
You want in but you just can't win
So you hang in the lights
You're so Art Deco, out on the floor
Shining like gun metal, cold and unsure
Baby, you're so ghetto
You're looking to score
When they all say hello
You try to ignore them
Cause you want more (why?)
You want more (why?)
You want more (why?)
Cause you want more
Young thing on the downtown scene
Rolling around at night
Got things, that have yet to be seen
Like your rapper's delight
A little party never hurt no one, that's why it's alright
You want in, but you just can't win
So you stay in the lights
You're so Art Deco, out on the floor
Shining like gun metal, cold and unsure
Baby, you're so ghetto
You're looking to score
When they all say hello
You try to ignore them
Cause you want more (why?)
You want more (why?)
You want more (why?)
Cause you want more
A little party never hurt no one
So you stay out late
A little party never hurt no one
That's what your friends say
You put your life out on the line
You're crazy all the time
Put your life out on the line
You're crazy all the time
You're so Art Deco, out on the floor
Shining like gun metal, cold and unsure
Baby, you're so ghetto
You're looking to score
When they all say hello
You try to ignore them
Cause you want more (why?)
You want more (why?)
You want more (why?)
Cause you want more
A little party never hurt no one
Not you and me
A little party never hurt no one

The lady is a half doll
My friend Jesse inspired me to start collecting half-dolls.
www.flickr.com/photos/40262251@N03/
They are so beautiful and I decided to learn more about it. That's how I came across several half-dolls on Flickr, including those belonging to friends of Jesse's who were also inspired by him, and I became more and more enthusiastic.

I gave in to my passion and now have several half-dolls.
A half doll is a delicate porcelain or bisque figurine from the early 20th century (approx. 1900–1930s) consisting of only the torso, head, and arms, intentionally designed without legs. Used as decorative, functional items for dressing tables, they were attached to pincushions, powder boxes, whisk brooms, or lampshades.
The Piccadilly line at Turnpike Lane, London
Although firmly in the Art Deco camp, this station has a gothic feel, with its low lighting and shadows
France - Le Touget
Still more posh than Vimeeux. Half timber houses and art deco, but still more fancy, builded as castles and towers
The holliday homes of the richest Parisers in early 1900s
New buildings fitted nicely into the old, keeping clear marks of the old architecture, at the same time bringin in something new
I took this one several weeks ago, but didn't get around to posting it for some reason. Come to think of it, I could probably say that 1,000 times. :)
The Art Deco hat pin is made of an early plastic and dates from the 1920s. I'm glad it still has its cover because the tip is very sharp. The Waldorf pattern frosted glass trinket dish is by Walther and was made in the 1930s. At the back on the right is part of a perfume bottle from the same era and, finally, the base is a piece of pink lace, also from the 1930s.
Oh, not quite finally. The miniature rose, as usual, came from my local supermarket. :)

The former Great Western Railway 'Arrivals Side Offices' building, Paddington Station. Completed in 1935.
Decorative tiling in an Art Nouveau/ Art Deco building, Lindfield. Without intensive examination I would say that the building is on the cusp of these two styles; however the colours in the tiling make me lean towards Art Deco as I've seen similar in regional buildings that are more clearly part of the great Art Deco building boom in Australia.
