Source:Laboratory TechnicianLaboratory Technician - Birth Control

As you see my fellow friends, here you can see so quickly since early times, through the last century including the 20s, 30s, and everything that happened until today where many assortment of birth control methods can be seen at the last part, some being more effective than others. Did you know about Margaret Sanger, the pill pionneer?

Some of my Favorites at Ropa Di Bu Vintage Clothing in Spain

 

In the US there are so many great vintage shops both in situ and oline. As well as vintage markets, they are absolutely a delice to visit. But I have found this Vintage Clothing Shop in Spain, and the website has lots of items for vintage lovers. A lot belong to the 60s, 70s and 80s fashion. I want some day to see from the 20s! I love those times as you know. But these articles are some of my favorites.

Ropa Di Bu

En el mercado americano existen muchas tiendas de accesorios y ropa vintage en tiendas online y en muchas ciudades. También en los mercados al aire libre, que son una delicia de visita. Pero existe esta tienda en España, online, que me ha sorprendido por sus artículos de los 60s, 70s y 80s mayormente. Espero pronto ver de los Años Veinte, que tanto me gustan. Pero estos que presento aquí son algunos de mis favoritos.

GEORGE BRENT BOUGHT AN ISLAND IN THE PACIFIC DURING THE 40S?

Just found out something very interesting that I had no idea of. According to Los Angeles Times on their vintage blog, George Brent could have bought  in 1941 a tiny island called Mehetia, 75 miles off Tahiti,  the Hollywood columnist Jimmie Fidler said.

Then I went to find out about this island and got a full description but saying it is inhabited. No record of previous buyers has been written at  least not on the web. Did Brent finally buy the  tiny island? If so I would have been very happy for him.

Acabo de leer algo interesante de lo que no tenía ni idea. Según Los Angeles Times en su blog vintage, George Brent podría haber comprado en 1941 una pequeña isla llamada Mehetia, a 75 millas de Tahiti, dice en el blog el columnista de Hollywood Jimmie Fidler. Fuí entonces a buscar sobre esta isla y he obtenido una descripción del lugar pero donde se dice que está deshabitada. No se apunta que fuese comprada previamente, al menos no aparece así en la web. ¿Compró finalmente Brent esta pequeña isla? Si así fuera me habría alegrado por él.

Romantic Postcard

via

Here I love you.
In the dark pines the wind disentangles itself.
The moon glows like phosphorous on the vagrant waters.
Days, all one kind, go chasing each other.
The snow unfurls in dancing figures.
A silver gull slips down from the west.
Sometimes a sail. High, high stars.

Pablo Neruda

 

Aquí te amo.
En los oscuros pinos se desenreda el viento.
Fosforece la luna sobre las aguas errantes.
Andan días iguales persiguiéndose.
Se desciñe la niebla en danzantes figuras.
Una gaviota de plata se descuelga del ocaso.
A veces una vela. Altas, altas estrellas.

Pablo Neruda

Welcome 2011

This commercial apparently comes from the days where Del Toro owned a makeup effects company in Mexico. The transformation is really reminiscent of Rick Baker’s seminal work on An American Werewolf in London. I don’t know about you, but I’m ready to see Del Toro tackle a full-blown werewolf film. Maybe Hellboy 3?An incredible commercial from 1991 directed by and starring Guillermo Del Toro as a businessman who finds his transformation into a werewolf halted by the power of Alka Seltzer.

Este anuncio aparentemente pertenece a la época en la cual Del Toro poseía una compañía en México dedicada a los efectos especiales. La transformación recuerdo mucho al trabajo de Rick Baker en Un Lobo Americano en Londres. No se vosotros pero me espero a una película de Del Toro con un tema de lobos. ¿Quizás Hellboy 3? Un anuncio increíble de 1991 dirigido y protagonizado por Guillermo del Toro en el que aparece como un hombre de negocios que se transforma en lobo pero Alka Seltzer al fin alivia sus estados de licantropía…
