my grandmother was a louise brooks fan, just like me


No pictures have survived, but thanks to her History of Cinema class at Wellesley, in which she discovered pandora's box and was therefore struck with eternal louise fandom, girlontape took to wearing her hair just like this. She was 17, about the same age as her grandmother in this photo.
