Midcentury style lizard brooch.

Look closely to see the chameleon on the stylish coat. Critters have inspired baubles for centuries. At one point, people even skipped the jeweler entirely, and wore live lizards as brooches and hair ornaments.
In 1894, the New York Times reported that a booming trend in living jewelry had animal cruelty organizations concerned. Tiny lizards had been arriving from the South to fuel a fashion frenzy. Mostly women bought them, attached a chain to their necks and pinned them to a cushion or item of clothing. These lizards were marketed as “chameleons” that would change color to match a woman’s jacket or bodice..... just imagine. Much easier and more comfortable to go shopping at Esani Vintage.

Post war hair salons.

During these postwar years, the salon became a cherished second space for women outside the home. The task of “setting” hair into the molded hairdos popular in the day, such as Veronica Lake’s cascading S-shaped waves or Grace Kelly’s sculpted bob, required regular appointments at the salon, establishing it as a popular weekly meeting spot. The image of a row of women idly flipping through magazines under a hair dryer hood became a symbol of postwar prosperity and of women’s new leisure time.
