"es bastante abrumador ahí adentro- y, disculpa, ¿prefieres si te dejo por tu cuenta?, es que pensé que quizá necesitabas ayuda, es que te ves un poco-" .

"¿qué? no, no. estoy bien —creo que solo necesito alejarme un rato de tanta gente."

With much gratitude , Lady Du Mar .

"Haha Cloyster totally looks like - " No. Shut up. Do you even know about the Venus shell?

Have you even seen Linnaeus' diagrams of it?

And the terms he used to describe it?

And the reaction people had to it?

Have you?

Propaganda

Cary Grant (The Philadelphia Story, His Girl Friday, Bringing Up Baby, Charade)—just the peak of old-school Hollywood sexuality. The glam, the suits, the gentle wit, the acrobatics, those eyes that always looked like they knew exactly what movie they were in and were laughing at the joke...

Vincent Price (Laura, Leave Her to Heaven, House on Haunted Hill, The Masque of the Red Death)—svelte, stylish, horrifying, beautiful, wickedly funny, camp and gorgeous and evil. he was an art connoisseur who advocated passionately indigenous art, he was an actual literal gourmet cook, he was so liberal he got greylisted during the mccarthy era for being too rad, he's my favorite muppets guest of all time

This is round 4 of the bracket. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage man.

Vincent Price propaganda:

Cary Grant propaganda:

"My Golden Age of Hollywood professor, who was very outwardly gay himself, put it this way: Even though Grant's sexuality was kind of an open secret in Hollywood, the public couldn't know in any real way. But anybody could see that there was a queerness about him, so he was casted for roles where he physically embodies his masculinity in a non-explicit but queer way. Bringing Up Baby is famous for the scene where Grant wears a frilly robe (pictured below, but what people don't always realise is that he plays kind of an awkward nerd in that movie. He's a hot awkward scientist in a grand robe!!! Hot!!! In The Philadelphia Story, one of my famous movies of all time, he plays C. K. Dexter Haven, a rich, sarcastic, supposedly abusive guy. And yet, what we see is this laid back, dandy-ish figure, who absolutely does not feel threatened when a woman he supposedly loves (Katharine Hepburn) starts having feelings for, and hooks up with another guy (James Stewart). He lets a drunk Stewart into his office and helps him get his job back! Obviously that is the script and not the actor, but the whole film, and that scene in particular, shows him having this very queer attitude of openness toward Hepburn and Stewart, which is only amplified by the casting of Grant and his portrayal of the character. Anyway, this is not an essay arguing for The Philadelphia Story to be considered a queer film, all I will say is: he's super hot in it."

The link to the above mentioned frilly robe scene from Bringing Up Baby: "I just went gay all of a sudden!"

last minute cary grant propaganda: the last few paragraphs of that new vanity fair article about him and randolph scott that just came out 2 days ago on cary's birthday where he calls it "gravity collapse" and "love at first sight" and says their souls touched and and and i'm actually sharing this mostly because it makes me emotional but also because a vote for archibald is a vote for love. this is my message. apologies for sounding mildly insane.

alejandra beamed like she had been let in on the biggest secret in the world. she always wondered about nick and gabriela, wether they were closer than they'd care to admit but nothing had ever been confirmed, not until dear sweet jo. "it hasn't gone unnoticed that your nick is one of the few people she holds dear. she trusts him." she knew her daughter better than anyone, trust in gabriela's eyes was held on the highest regard "i don't think that girl will be satisfied until the world is hers" alejandra smiled at her friend and nodded in agreement "it's hard work for us to face such challenges"

"oh, i've said too much," jo started, dramatic covering her mouth as if she'd just made the biggest 'oopsie' of the season. and then in the next breath she added- "i do think my nick will be more than interested to know about gabriela though." jo nodded, she was no stranger to a thriving career herself. "it's hard, isn't it? i'm sure gabriela will figure things out, the world is still hers for the taking." jo laughed again, shaking her hand and waving for the waiter to bring them more champagne. "this is our cross to bear. let's drink to it before she decides to interrupt."

lily van der woodsen was incredible at a number of things, some which included looking fabulous at all times and another being her ability to tap into the mean girl to protect the people she cared about. "you don't need to be prepared for anything, darling. you did nothing wrong and you were more than entitled to take your time to have some peace. these people just want someone to pick on because they're getting bored and i certainly won't be letting that happen." she always felt protective over anne, even more so after howard's massive fuck up "champagne makes everything a little more tolerable. oh to be young and in love, those crazy kids"

anne had never been more relieved to see lily van der woodsen swoop in with a killer glare and superior smile. how she envied her... and how grateful she was to have her. "thank you for saying that, lily. i guess i wasn't as prepared as i thought i was for tonight. i mean, i should be used to it. i should be better at handling it. maybe i was gone for too long..." anne let the thought linger before snapping out of it. "well, at least there's champagne. they're definitely here, i fixed nate's tie a half hour ago. if there's somewhere they can sneak off to in here though, i'm sure that's what's happening."
