Adventures at the Hair Fair #4: A Night in Old Berlin
I was really happy with my new vintage hairstyle, but it finally dawned on me that the perfect place to take pictures of a 1920s hairstyle would be The 1920s Berlin Project, which is a really detailed historical role play sim. This sim is the brainchild and art project of Jo Yardley. You can see an interview with Frau Yardley here. And here is the blog for the Project.. As a student of German, I was really fascinated by the project, and I did manage to tour it briefly once before, but this time I headed out, the patient A. C. W. in tow, to find a place to snap some pictures.
You'll never guess what happened--we met Frau Yardley herself! I told her what we were doing, and she kindly directed us to the lovely Hotel Adlon, where the pictures below were taken. The 1920's Berlin Project has very strict rules about staying in period, so the dress I featured in the previous post was not going to work. Luckily, I knew of a vender of 1920s clothing, Donna Flora and this creator really needs the business right now, as she's ill in Real Life. You can read about efforts to help here.
The dress and shoes that I'm wearing in these shots are by Donna Flora. The dress is called "Giulia" and the shoes "Milva". I can't tell you much about what A. C. W. is wearing, but he sure looks dapper, doesn't he?
