Pour moi, ce qui représente le plus le "glamour", ce sont les années quarantes et cinquantes. Dans les années soixante, après Twiggy...rien n'est plus pareil. J'ai donc choisi aujourd'hui d'illustrer le thème de cette semaine avec des photos de mon père et de ma mère, prises durant cette période-là. J'ai retravaillé les images dans Photoshop. Mes parents étaient alors jeunes et beaux. Et très "glamour".
For me, the fourties and the fifties are the most representative years of the "glamour" theme. In the sixties, after Twiggy, nothing is the same.... I choosed to illustrate today the theme of Illo friday with some pics of my mom and dad, taken during those glamourous years. The images have been transformed in Photoshop. My parents were then very young and handsome. And very glamour.

nice entry-your mother especially looms glamorous and sophisticated
Sweet Merlinprincesse, I am extraordinarily interested in knowing more about that coat your father is wearing....it seems highly unusual, especially the hood and cuff trimmings. Can you enlighten me some more.....I dig how cigs were such a standard issue for men (not that I smoke).

Tres belles photos pour cette illustration.Tres beau
Extremely glamorous! Also like your choice of luxurious silk colours! Excellent entry for the theme!!
Go back to the Roaring 20's and 30's, too, when my parents were like yours. What was it back then!!! The clothes, the hair, the LOOK!
Hardwax:Indeed she was! She was first a school teacher then a speaker on local radio (CBC) then a journalist. Too bad she had to quit all this after her wedding. But she's still alive and at 80yo, still an intellectual. I love her so much!
Detlef: My father died 10 years ago. So I can't really help you with this one. I know that he was stationed in North Pole as a Military during the WWII. Maybe this was one of his coats... I will post the original pic for ya this afternoon so you can see better. And ask my mom if she remembers it... :o) And yes smoking was kinda glamourous in those years. My dad stopped smoking in the seventies....
Unknown: Thanks indeed! Love.
Marc: Merci beaucoup!
Kind Anonymous: Thanks my anonymous friend!
I'm back! And I love what you've done with these photos. I have some photos of my parents in the fifties that I could play with. Thanks for the idea... I also have photos of my dad where he looks like he's wearing lipstick.
Très belle idée!
It has a very beautiful quality.
Andrea: HI! Busybusy? LOL for your father wearing lipstick. Did not received your package yet!!! Damn Post Canada...
Benconservato: Thanks for the nice comment! Merci!
The Glamour of the time sat well on your mother!
I love the subtle colours you've used here - also very glamorous.
Hey Ginnie! I forgot ya!!!!! Bad Merlinprincesse... That's true that the twenties and the thirties were not bad for glamoor too! I wonder if the beginnings of cinema have something to do with it... I think so.
Caroline: That's true. My mom was a very beautiful girl and she was often asked ir she was an actress...
Beautiful pictures of those beautiful people.
That cigarette adds JUST the right touch. Did they already know each other at the time of these photos?
They knew each other but only because they were from the same village. This pic was about 10 years before their wedding...
MP tse are great! And they are very glamorous. Your mom was a hottie. :)
These are very beautiful illustrations of your parents. Just beautiful!!
Thanks Cal! They were. But I will not repeat to my mom that you think she was a hottie... LOL.
Ellen: Thank you very much!
Mmmm very evocative of an era gone by. Like the way your dad is holding the cigarette, cool pics and photoshop. ...:o
Glad to see your clock is straight now. Don't forget to wind it up every day. What are the pencils looking at up there? ..: )
I'm in the wrong box. Doh!
Modroom, Mushroom and Deplume: I wonder if our children will see us as from a glamourous gone by era when we will be old... And my clock is at the right place now, many thanks to ya! The pencils are looking at you my dear! DUH!
What wonderful photos of your parents. A handsome couple indeed. glamourous
Toni: Yes they were a nice couple. They were also very intelligent and kind people.
Shane: My parents gave me love. We had our problems but they were good parents. I love your citation. Thanks Shane! You have a great sensibility!
There was such a look of elegance and a certain flamoyance...lovely poctures of your parents...I like the tones you chose to enhance the photographs,
My father was, in fact, very flamboyant!!! My mother was more shy!
What a cute couple! I like the fancy jacket your dad has, and how your mom seems the sensible one.
Tony: She was the artistic one. But my father was a good man! Thanks for the comment!
great images - love the juxtaposition of old pics and pop art-type photoshopping. very glamorous indeed :)
Hey Mushsis! I did not realized the pop connection. Must have been influenced by Andy Warhol! YEP!
