1940's Hats and Hairstyles

By -

Here we go into the 1940's! As longer hair became popular again and more women entered the work force,the snood (a type of hairnet) became a must. These could even be decorated for wear after work as this young filly shows here~


Hats and gloves were a smart look as Laura shows us~

Victorian-style hats with veils,feathers,and wings became a popular style again~


Hairstyles embellished with flowers such as gardenias were in style too~

Here is the art in progress with some other styles mixed in~the 1950's are coming soon!

    An appealing summary of '40s fashion, anthro style! These and your other historical fashion portraits would make a great picture book!

    Have you ever thought of trying to publish a coloring book? I think girls of all ages would really dig these!

Abandoned Cat (Sute-Neko Tora Chan)

Abandoned Cat Little Tora, 1947. A family finds an abandoned kitten and takes it in.  But one of the children is jealous of the attention shown to the newcomer and runs away.  In 1947 war orphans were everywhere in Japan. Directed by Kenzo Masaoka.   https://youtu.be/d_nN0_DZPHw       A dream of domestic bliss.   https://youtu.be/-6toCCKMBqo   This ends with the family all together as one on a Christmas, decorated tree and everything.   https://youtu.be/cF4qS1iQ-Gs       What is conspicuous is the lack of a father.  I guess at this time so many Japanese families had their fathers and sons gone that this cartoon designed to comfort and to empathize with those bereft.  In that regard this is a very sad movie, very well made. Life is far too marvelous to be squandered in war. https://misterscribbles.blogspot.com/

Kamaitachi

Japanese whirlwind demon.  I could not find the name of the artist but I am guessing that the red kanji is a signature.  These invisible demons employ their sickle claws to do their thing.  Pretty malevolent, if you ask me.   If anybody has invisible flying bloodthirsty slasher weasels it would be the Japanese.  This vicious fellow is by Xatchett off DeviantArt.   https://www.deviantart.com/xatchett   These yokai ride dustdevils and whirlwinds and slash up the unwary, while drawing no blood.  In the 1890's there was a rash of these attacks. Some anime.   https://youtu.be/sxC-g5sCWXk The whirlwind thing seems to be a big part of all this. Kamaitachi, by Eikoh Hosea, 1969. And another.   This is the photographer who took the dynamic black and white pictures of Yukio Mishima I had posted in an earlier essay.   The model in this series, Kamaitachi, is a famous avant-garde dancer, Tatsumi H
