In remembrance of actress Clara Bow, who passed away on this day, September 27th, 1965 🖤🖤🖤

PART THREE

Clara Bow in Her Wedding Night (1930)

DID YOU KNOW?...

-Kristin Hersh wrote a song about her for the band 50 Foot Wave entitled "Clara Bow." It appears on the band's debut album "Golden Ocean".

"50 Foot Wave is the mark of a woman without a shred of complacency. Former front-woman is back after years of solo work and sporadic reunions. This new project finds Hersh, along with Muses bassist Bernard Georges and new drummer Rob Ahlers, cranking up and streamlining. Their self-titled EP debut was a 16 minute blast of punk rock aggression matched with Hersh's lyrical dexterity and intense vocal approach."

"Golden Ocean extends the formula to end up with 11 songs in 35 minutes. Always a master of idiosyncratic connections, Hersh combines disparate elements into cohesive songs, giving the listener a new view of the world--or at least insight into hers. "Long Painting," "Dog Days," "Ginger Park," and "Clara Bow" are all good examples of her fury born of experience. In fact, nearly all the songs here deal with the life-learned oxymoron of, "the more you know, the less you know". Both angry and affirming, this release shows a band gaining strength with each offering." --Robert Arambel

-She was billed as "The Hottest Jazz Baby in Films" by independent producer B.P. Schulberg for The Plastic Age (1925).

"Hollywood and the movie-going public embraced the actress with the sparkling eyes, cupid's-bow mouth and vibrant personality. Paramount billed her as "the hottest jazz baby in film," making reference to her unapologetic sexuality."

-Chicago Tribune

-Bow applied her red lipstick in the shape of a heart. Women who imitated this shape were said to be putting a "Clara Bow" on their mouths.

When you think of 1920s lips you think of the famous 'Cupid's Bow'. Cupid Bow lips were favoured and made popular by Hollywood stars like Clara Bow and Mary Pickford.

​Makeup artist Max Factor created the 'Cupids Bow' which was first ever seen on Clara Bow, women soon started copying Bow's lips and the famous flapper craze took off.

Lip colours came in shades of pink, red and orange. Popular lipstick names were; scarlet, rose, raspberry, poppy, cerise and carmine.

​The early 1920s lips were darker, like claret or plum.

The upper lip was a heart-shape and the lower lip was applied to just miss the outer edges. This created a smaller bee-stung looking lip.

Metal lip tracers were sold to help women who found it difficult to create the ideal lip shape themselves.

-1928: She became the highest paid movie star, receiving $35,000 per week.

With "talkies," The Wild Party, Dangerous Curves, and The Saturday Night Kid, all released in 1929, Bow kept her position as the top box-office draw and queen of Hollywood.

-F. Scott Fitzgerald described Bow in 1927 at the peak of her fame: "Clara Bow is the quintessence of what the term 'flapper' signifies as a definite description. Pretty, impudent, superbly assured, as worldly wise, briefly clad, and 'hard-berled' as possible... Now, there are thousands more [flappers] patterning themselves after her".

There were different kinds of flappers, but he thought all of them had a "common trait," which was "a splendid talent for living."

Flapperhood flourished throughout the social classes: sales clerks, secretaries, hatcheckers and hairdressers were flappers, as were privileged belles like Zelda Fitzgerald. Zelda Fitzgerald was an American novelist, socialite, and painter. Born in Montgomery, Alabama, she was noted for her beauty and high spirits, and was dubbed by her husband as "the first American flapper". She and her husband, F. Scott Fitzgerald, became emblems of the Jazz Age, for which they are still celebrated. 

In 1922 she wrote that the flapper told herself, "I do not want to be respectable because respectable girls are not attractive" and "boys do dance most with the girls they kiss most." So the flapper "bobbed her hair, put on her choicest pair of earrings and a great deal of audacity and rouge and went into battle. She flirted because it was fun to flirt . . . she covered her face with powder and paint because she didn't need it and she refused to be bored chiefly because she wasn't boring." At 21, Zelda Fitzgerald declared that a young woman had "the right to experiment with herself as a transient, poignant figure who will be dead tomorrow."

April 2019 Splurb Sale (ENDED)

Cerise SOLD

Type: Alpha (4 forms)

Gender: Male

Theme: Lingerie

Autobuy: 65$

Starting Bid: 55$ Min. increase of 3$

Parent: (N/A) First Gen.

Bio:

     You can’t leave the house without him, you can’t wear anything but him, and you gotta listen to him. He just wants to keep you safe from everyone who wants to hurt you or take advantage of you...which is everyone. 

You’re going to have to teach him boundaries early on. Teach him that YOU own HIM, not the other way around, otherwise, he’ll take full advantage of that and end up trying to control a lot in your personal life. Stroke his ego and let him lead every once in a while, but you have to make sure he knows that he can’t take control of your life...unless you want him to.

In his older stages he practically towers over you and uses that fully to his advantage. loves running his tentacles across you, and has a pretty nasty habit of taking you in public...in front of everyone...as a show of dominance. Another habit you’ll have to break...unless you’re into that.

Just know everything he does, he does it for you. He does care for you very much, he just has a bit of a messed up way of showing it.

Pearl SOLD

Type: Alpha (4 forms)

Gender: female

Theme: Prom, Beach

Autobuy: 65$

Starting Bid: 55$ min. increase of 3$

Parent: Mint (Owned by All-My-Ocs-Karma

Bio:

      Don’t let her theme fool you, splurbs hate the ocean. But she can’t help but find a bit of charm in the calm rolling waves and sandy beach...at least from a considerable distance...like a TV screen distance.

A very hopeless romantic, she loves fancy dinners with candle-light, flower petals, and a beautiful evening of dancing and chatting away. Loves to close the night with snuggling close to her favorite owner with some light teasing and feeding as well.

Very polite, but has that “I can still be fun” sort of mom feel. She tends to get a bit overboard on that, however, constantly wanting to go out and have fun, even if her owners wallet says no. She doesn’t have a strong concept of money or time, so that’s something you’ll definitely have to teach her, otherwise she’ll bleed you dry.

Don’t take her polite and posh nature as a sign of weakness, though. She is still an alpha, and isn’t afraid of showing her owner how much of an alpha she is. Take care of her, and she’ll take care of you.

Currant SOLD

Type:Standard Top (3 forms)

Gender: Male

Theme: Eccentric

Autobuy: 45$

Starting Bid: 35$ min. increase of 3$

Parent: ViVi (Owned by Frozen-Sins)

Bio:

     Very mature and collected. Likes quiet evenings with their owner, but isn’t against a casual outing here and there. He, however, tends to be fatherly. “eat your vegetables, you humans need to eat that stuff” “did you take your vitamins?” “Brush your teeth”. He is incredibly caring, but tends to get overbearing sometimes. You’ll have to remind him to wind down every once in a while, though his “daddy” standards never really dwindle, as he’ll take it to the bedroom during feeding time as well. 

If you can handle his overbearing fatherly love, he’ll definitely take good care of you and make you look spiffy and out-there with his good looks.

Ruby SOLD

Type: Standard Top (3 forms)

Gender: Female

Theme: Work-out/ tight-fitting

Autobuy: 45$

Starting Bid: 35$ min. increase 3$

Parent: Rose (Owned by @felliskelli)

Bio:

   Tough as nails, loud and proud. Ruby has a large and loud personality, with enough arms to hug their owner or owners in a  bone-crushing hug.

She loves to constantly move, and will get their owner into the habit of working out as well, so if you aren’t one to get up and move, she’s not the one for you. If you don’t work out with her or let her work out at least ever other day, she’ll get really depressed and start to lose her form and color, so make sure you get up and work out with her, or at least let her get her own exercising in.

She loves to show off her strength, outside and inside the bedroom, so you better stretch beforehand, because she has stamina that could challenge an alpha (or at least she likes to think so).

Because of her loud personality, she’s pretty confident in herself, so she might start to try to pick fights with other inanimate objects that she thinks challenge her when she gets older, so teach her better when she’s young unless you want broken lamps and figurines across the house.

other than that, she’s incredibly lovable, like a large russian woman with a love for teddy bears.

Pitch SOLD

Type: Standard Bottom (3 forms)

Gender: Neutral (male anatomy)

Theme: Latex/ Renaissance

Autobuy: 45$

Starting Bid: 35$ min. increase 3$

Parent: (N/A) First Gen.

Bio:

    Absolute goofball, if it wasn’t obvious by their look, Pitch is always looking for ways to make their owner laugh and feel good. When their owner is happy, they’re happy. 

Loves to be shown off, and will very much embarrass their owner in public, though they don’t tend to do it on purpose. They see everyone laughing and assume they’re doing a good thing, so make sure you teach them early on what is okay and what is too far.

They love watching their owner take control during feeding, it really helps them to have a lead, and if their owner can make them laugh during feeding, even better.

Lapis SOLD

Type: Standard Bottom (3 forms)

Gender: Female

Theme: Modern Japan/ Blacklight

Autobuy: 45$

Starting Bid: 35$ min. increase of 3$

Parent: (N/A) First Gen.

Bio:

    A very shy girl, but incredibly sweet. She loves to show off her colors, but gets flustered when complimented. You’ll have to help her get over her shyness and keep her from shrinking away from you. Show her you love everything about her, and she doesn’t need to shy away from you or anyone else.

She’ll get more confidence during feeding time, and will often get more talkative and loud during. 

She’ll adore her owner, and will love doing practically any activity with them.

Viridian SOLD

Type: Accessory (2 forms)

Gender: Male

Theme: minimalist, modern

Autobuy: 25$

Starting Bid: 15$ min. increase of 3$

Parent: (N/A) First Gen.

Bio:

   Overly sensitive but has a big heart. Tends to cry over little things, so be patient and kind with him. He’ll toughen up as he gets older, but still have that oh so sweet personality.

Loves to kiss his owner with his tentacles, leaving little red marks along the way. Really likes to wrap around their neck gently for extra closeness. 

During feeding he can be a bit relentless, so you’ll have to watch him or he’ll eat to bursting. He loves nothing more than seeing you happy and calm. If his owner is crying, he’ll start to cry, if you’re happy, he’ll be happy. He mimics most emotions and even physical motions that their owner does. He wants to keep you happy, so anything that you do, obviously means good, right?

Wisteria SOLD

Type: Accessory (2 forms)

Gender: Female

Theme: Super-hero

Autobuy: 25$

Starting Bid: 15$ min. increase of 3$

Parent: Phanta (owned by @syra16160

Bio:

   Incredibly bouncy with a sense of justice. She loves to hop around and bounce off of high places, performing “Dangerous” stunts like jumping from the edge of the table to the couch. She LOVES when her owner encourages her heroism and bravery.

You do have to watch to make sure it doesn’t go to her head as she’ll perform more dangerous acts the farther along she goes. As long as you’re there to watch her and make sure she doesn’t do anything too eccentric, all should be well.

She loves being your hero. She wants nothing but praise and for you to feel safe with her. And while you’re wearing her “You can be a superhero, too!”
