Have you played around any more with the Art Nouveau style?

Also, when will your next 5,000 renditions of the almost kiss™ from IACOT be coming out?

alsjdhkf not u sending this right when i was in the middle of working on the 5,001st rendition of that very scene 💀

(i'll share it soon!)

and i have thought about more art nouveau inspired pieces, but nothing has quite taken shape yet. here's my humble thumbnail sketch page tho!

in the bottom left you'll recognize the thumbnail that turned into the latest post! tbh i like the sketch more than the final piece, but alas. and here's a closeup on the top right idea, a ouad piece featuring the pink macy's parade dress <333

#asks #Anonymous #anastasia broadway #dimya #fan art #my art #iz draws #wip #thank you for asking!!#i need to be better about communicating what i'm working on lol aslkdjhf #and sharing more wips #but here u go <3

@beatingheart-bride

“O-Oh,” Randall nodded as he set down his candle, allowing him to better see her as he grabbed the stool he’d left earlier, sitting on it so that they could see eye-to-eye.

For a moment, he was mesmerized by her eyeshine: He knew some creatures, such as alligators, had them (having seen the shine of a gator’s eyes a couple times in his life); Dorian once told him the scientific term, tapetum lucidum, a funny word he struggled to pronounce when he first saw it, and had long forgotten until he looked at her now, in the dimness of the bathroom. Her eyes had a sort of rose-gold glow to them that was haunting in its presentation (once again reminding him of an alligator lurking just barely on the surface, watching laxly from its place in the water), and yet beautiful in its own right. He felt as if he could look at that shine forever.

Snapping out of his reverie, he remembered himself, and so he stooped to pick up the little bowl; there was plenty in there. Shyly, Randall looked up at Emily, then to the bowl in his hands, and then back to her, asking softly, “D-Do you, u-um...d-do you want me to, um, p-put more o-on?” He repeated the rub action, well aware of how warm his cheeks were as he asked her this, absentmindedly fidgeting with the bowl all the while.

#((oh absolutely! there's still tons of shows that will draw in plenty of customers; both nyc natives and visitors to the big apple))#((but i defidently do think the community will feel its absence; especially after being such a huge part of it for so long!))#((i hope that the crew; in particular the orchestra; will be able to get new gigs with one of the other shows running on broadway))#((because that has to be so stressful; to have that steady gig suddenly go up in a puff of smoke; and i really do wish them the best))#((and hope that they'll be able to get new jobs in the same field!))#((and y'know i admit; i sometimes find myself imagining broadway as just a long string of theaters and art houses))#((like i know it's an actual borough of new york and i'm sure there's lots of residential places/other things there beyond theaters))#((but i find myself imagining it being just a bunch of theaters all crammed together; each one playing a different musical!))#((silly i know; but that's the image that just pops into my head!))#outofhatboxes #beatingheart-bride #V:Part of Your World

This probably isn’t Anything, but I’m starting to get really annoyed at the way people will talk about “bad/amateur” art being necessary for creativity to thrive, but at the same time like... being really smug and condescending about it. Like they can’t stop themselves from stressing how “bad” the art is, but still indulging it. It’s very much the same energy as somebody who looks at a modern art piece and says, “Well, my kid could have done that, but I guess it’s still impressive in its way.”

maybe I am just sentimental and easily impressed but tbh I disagree with the whole “yes local theater is almost always bad but it’s still important” thing bc I think a lot of local and amateur theater is really good actually! like yes I also agree that it’s important to support local arts no matter what the quality so I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad message but I also think if we really want people to go out and support community theater it’s also important to remember that there is a lot of talent outside of broadway or major touring productions so yeah going to see community productions is not something I feel I need to begrudgingly do just out of principle it’s something I genuinely enjoy.

#even school productions which probably get the most shit can be great imo #sorry i know it's easy to dunk on these kind of shows but i think it's wrong!#anyway this is long but basically i love theater <3 #personal

Propaganda

Alla Nazimova (A Doll's House, Camille, Salomé)—She was a proud lesbian, she was a director, she was artsy and experimental, she was instrumental in the rise to fame of Rudolph Valentino, she had the worlds biggest strap on energy

Xia Meng, also known as Hsia Moog or Miranda Yang (Sunrise, Bride Hunter)—For those who are familiar with Hong Kong's early cinema, Xia Meng is THE leading woman of an era, the earliest "silver-screen goddess", "The Great Beauty" and "Audrey Hepburn of the East". Xia Meng starred in 38 films in her 17-year career, and famously had rarely any flops, from her first film at the age of 18 to her last at the age of 35. She was a rare all-round actress in Mandarin-language films, acting, singing, and dancing with an enchanting ease in films of diverse genres, from contemporary drama to period operas. She was regarded as the "crown princess" among the "Three Princesses of the Great Wall", the iconic leading stars of the Great Wall Movie Enterprises, which was Hong Kong's leading left-wing studio in the 1950s-60s. At the time, Hong Kong cinema had only just taken off, but Xia Meng's influence had already spread out to China, Singapore, etc. Overseas Chinese-language magazines and newspapers often featured her on their covers. The famous HK wuxia novelist Jin Yong had such a huge crush on her that he made up a whole fake identity as a nobody-screenwriter to join the Great Wall studio just so he can write scripts for her. He famously said, "No one has really seen how beautiful Xi Shi (one of the renowned Four Beauties of ancient China) is, I think she should be just like Xia Meng to live up to her name." In 1980, she returned to the HK film industry by forming the Bluebird Movie Enterprises. As a producer with a heart for the community, she wanted to make a film on the Vietnam War and the many Vietnam War refugees migrating to Hong Kong. She approached director Ann Hui and produced the debut film Boat People (1982), a globally successful movie and landmark feature for Hong Kong New Wave, which won several awards including the best picture and best director in the second Hong Kong Film Award. Years later, Ann Hui looked back on her collaboration with Xia Meng, "I'm very grateful to her for allowing me to make what is probably the best film I've ever made in my life."

This is round 3 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.

[additional propaganda submitted under the cut.]

Alla Nazimova:

HOT as hell. GAY as hell. TALENTED as hell. Producer, director, writer, actress. A silent era superstar who is credited with having coined the term "sewing circle" as a code-word for gatherings of lesbian and bisexual women. Has been called "the founding mother of Sapphic Hollywood" and was the owner/operator of the Garden of Alla Hotel in West Hollywood, which she bought in 1919 and sold in 1928 after deciding she wanted to go back to Broadway. In addition to starring opposite Valentino in Camille, she also had an affair with BOTH of his wives (Jean Acker and Natacha Rambova). In her day, she was one of the most influential women in the business.

"Nazimova was primarily a star during the silent film era, and her career in film started when she was almost forty. She was openly bisexual, and was engaged in two lavender marriages during her life while she carried on relationships with women (including at least one, and possibly two, of Rudolph Valentino's wives). She was brilliant and an autodidact - when she first moved to the United States from Ukraine, she spoke no English, but taught herself "in about five months" and went on to work as a screenwriter (among other things). Her predilections lay in art film, and she's credited with starring in / producing / directing one of the first American art films, the adaptation of Oscar Wilde's play Salome (1923). She has an elegant and commanding presence in all of her films, and is an absolute sensation to watch in motion."

A great actress who also produced a great deal of her films, Nazimova is absolutely mesmerizing to watch. She was also bi and coined the phrase "sewing circle" for sapphic celebrities.

Xia Meng:
