Ahhhh.... The Olden TImes

I was doing a little research for an upcoming shoot... VERY excited about this one, and stumbled upon this video. I couldn't take my eyes off of it. The most incredible thing happens when they dance together. I sure do wish we lived in these times! This generation can be so lame. ha.

This is the quote from the author of this video that I really appreciated...

"So many young people have commented favorably on this clip, expressing a longing for the romantic time of the 1930s. It was a hard time for many, the Great Depression. Films like this were a way for poor people to escape grim reality for a few hours inside the cinema, to catch a glimpse of the glamorous world of the rich and beautiful.

Today people long to escape the mediocrity and awfulness of modern taste - violent blockbuster movies, unintelligible actors, loud pointless soundtracks (you could hardly call it music). Artistry and talent has given way to mediocrity and the cult of celebrity.

Now is the time for young people to abandon crowded gigs and nightclubs where they prance aimlessly, waving their arms in the air, deafened by the noise. Go to an old fashioned ballroom dance, with a band that doesn't rely on amplification and plays real tunes. There you may meet the person of your dreams, to hold in your arms and talk to. "

Please Enjoy!
