Theda Bara is considered by many to be the original 'Vamp' thanks to her sexually dominating roles. She is one of the most famous silent film stars to ever live - she never appeared in a sound production - with a peak between 1914 and 1919. Some of her best-known films include A Fool There Was and The Devil's Daughter. She made more than 40 films between 1914 and 1926, but most were lost in the 1937 Fox vault fire. This portrait of the star was originally taken while Bara was taking on the role of the eponymous character in Carmen, a now lost Raoul Walsh film released in 1915. #victorianchaps #vintage #thedabara #actress #nostalgia #beauty #vamp #earlyfilm #retro #silentmovie #hollywood #1910s #portrait #edwardian #oldphoto #goodolddays #filmstills (at Hollywood) https://www.instagram.com/p/CokjXpRjm_2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

VAMPIRESAS 1910

Todo inicio en el cine tras la aparición de mujeres hechizantes y excéntricas pero no fue hasta 1915 cuando comenzó el término y se definió la apariencia de dichas mujeres (ojos con sombra negra y cejas largas con los labios rojos)más que nada por influencia de la VAMPIRESA Theda Bara (actriz)su nombre es un Anagrama de "muerte árabe" aún que no fue la única si fue la que más entró en el papel de vampiresa

Los medios mostraban su belleza y extravagancia era algo sobrenatural lo que llamo la atención de mujeres que lo sacaron de la pantalla esto atrajo más a los hombres quien le temían al tiempo que les atraía que ellas fueran en contra de lo común (así que ve a la dirección que tu quieras 💕)

#Herstory #UnDíaComoHoy Theodosia Burr Goodman (Cincinnati, 29 de julio de 1885 - LA, 7 de abril de 1955), conocida como #ThedaBara; fue una actriz estadounidense, famosa en la época del cine mudo. Al acabar sus estudios decidió encontrar trabajo en el mundo del espectáculo tras teñirse el pelo, naturalmente rubio, de negro. No tuvo demasiado éxito al principio. En 1914, en LA, comenzó a trabajar como extra (la primera película fue The Stain, estrenada en 1915) hasta que llegó su gran oportunidad, bajo el nombre de A Fool There Was. Aunque Theda ya estaba considerada como vieja para protagonizar un papel (tenía 30 años, en una época en la que no se concebía una protagonista mayor de 25), su especial personalidad hizo que los productores se fijasen en ella y la “creasen”. Theo se convirtió en la primera estrella prefabricada por unos estudios cinematográficos, que explotaron su imagen de vamp y le cambiaron el nombre a Theda Bara. Para el gran público, Theda había nacido en 1890 hija de una concubina egipcia y su amante, un artista francés, en pleno Sahara. En 1915 protagonizó 6 películas y culminó el año con una de sus obras más famosas, Carmen pero la película que la catapultaría a la fama fue Cleopatra (1917), una de las primeras adaptaciones de la reina de Egipto, donde aparecía con escaso vestuario. El filme no se ha conservado. En 1919, tras finalizar el rodaje de The lure of ambition, Theda fue despedida por la productora que la había creado, la Fox. La moda de las vamps daba paso a las alegres flappers. En 1921, y tras su matrimonio, Theda se retiró, aunque colaboró en el rodaje de Madame Mystery (1926), poniendo el punto final a su carrera, que se hizo efectivo cuando, en los 30, fracasaron sus intentos de volver al teatro y, en los 50, de crear una biopic de su vida. La razón de su retiro fue que su marido no deseaba que ella actuase (todas sus colaboraciones en películas desde su boda las hizo sin el consentimiento de su esposo). Falleció de cáncer abdominal. La frase de Bésame, tonto fue usada por primera vez en la historia del cine por Theda. De sus más de 40 filmes, solo se conservan 3 y medio. #efemérides #educarenigualdad https://www.instagram.com/p/CfYT4AhjQB1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Portrait of  Theda  Bara by Albert Witzel

#thedabara

[alovevigilante]

They say the eyes are the window to the soul. This woman’s soul, was on her surface. Her name was Theda Bara. If I would’ve had a daughter, I would’ve named her Theda. Beautiful name for a beautiful woman. Theda’s eyes, didn’t just see, they emoted. The emotions that came through her face, and those big, beautiful eyes, were felt deeply, by herself.

The world labeled her a vamp, and the first ever “it girl”. But Theda was a woman with her own feelings and emotions. She wasn’t just what others thought of her. She was a representation of whatever people wanted her to be. She was a face on the big screen. But that didn’t mean that she was any of those things that people labeled her to be. She was only, what she believed she was. That was the truth. Her truth.

I realized this morning, how much I project onto others. I had a huge epiphany. I alone, am projecting, creating, and perpetuating my own hurt, and my own pain in relationships. I project onto others, and I reject myself, when people don’t accept me.

When I was in high school I had a crush on the same boy for 4 years. At first, he was kind, and we got along. I really liked talking to him, and discussing music, and other things. I appreciated him, and I would think about all the things I liked about him, and for the things I didn’t know about him, I filled in the blanks myself. I would imagine him and I talking about the things I wanted to talk about, and laughing about the things I found funny, and hanging out doing the things I liked to do, and other assorted high school girl innocent thoughts. I projected all kinds of amazing qualities onto him. So, when he rejected me, and started treating me differently, it hit me hard, and it hurt a lot. I felt like all of those qualities that I held so dear, were also rejecting me. And they were all repped, by him.

This boy was honest. He wasn’t into me. And yes, he was pretty clear about it. But I was the one, who perpetuated the pain of his disinterest. I internalized his feelings for me, and elongated the self belief that I wasn’t worthy of being liked, or loved. It was a self fulfilling prophecy. I felt that everything I made him out to be, was also rejecting me. That was the biggest lie of all. I wasn’t missing out on the perfect person I thought I was. I was missing out, on myself. I was missing out on me.

My take away? (that literally came 30 years later just this morning) is that perhaps, just maybe, I wasn’t missing what I thought I was at all. Perhaps, I was good enough “as is”, and it was me, who was setting up the dynamic of rejection that has haunted me in other relationships. Don’t get me wrong, I haven’t been pining away for this boy all these years, but I learned a lot from the experience, and it did affect the way I went in to all of my other subsequent relationships thereafter.

Theda bara was a representative of all beautiful women in the old Hollywood silent era. No one really knew what she was thinking when she performed cleopatra, or any of her other roles on film. The only one who really knew her, was her. She found a way to communicate the connection to herself with others, so that they can connect to themselves. That’s it. The rest, was up to us. Our perception, our filter, whether we like or dislike what we see when we look at her, or what she did. Do we think all people that look and act like her, hate us? We all project. It’s natural. But we don’t need to internalize the pain that comes from rejection of another, because it’s never really about the other person we’re perceiving. It’s always just about ourselves. So in actuality, her eyes, are windows into our souls too. ❤️

appendices- it’s definitely not easy when people intend you harm on purpose, but, if you can look past the hurt to the love within you, it definitely lessens the blow of the initial betrayal.

Ultimately, the amount of pain you experience, is still up to you. But it doesn’t discount your feelings in the least bit. Loveless actions are abuse and hurtful, regardless of how it’s justified or explained. But there is love all around available for you. That is the truth. Love is the feeling you receive from people who care about you, period. And the person who cares the most? You. You are the barrier or the open floodgates controlling the love you experience. No one else is. Unfortunately not everyone outside of you will value your feelings, but your love is the ultimate healer of all things that stem from hate. On love you can rely. 💪❤️
