I recently discovered the photo reproductions of Retro Atelier, and I'm completely addicted to the website [and to dreaming of having my portrait taken by them]. They specialize in the photographic aesthetics of the past, and they have gorgeous models who play their parts perfectly -- taking on the roles of everything from Pre-Raphaelite beauties and deco goddesses to 50's pin-ups and 60's modsters. Here are some of my favorites...

O my goodness! I have an obsession with old photos. My favorite classic beauty would have to be Kiki, Man Ray's muse. I've been dying to get a copy of her memoirs, but it's a rare book and runs about $100. These photos are great! Thanks for sharing the link. :)
Wow! Josephine Baker really looks like Josephine Baker in there! ;)

lacouturier -- I haven't heard "oh mylanta" in a while...hysterical. Glad you enjoyed the photos ;)
Karen -- I know, on first glance they look truly old.
