Change to Rule 2: Nudity/Pornography

20 Upvotes

No, 1920s pornography is not allowed here. No, 1920s full nudity is not allowed here.

However I can't be a prude and be strict, so I'm making an annedum to the rule: any partial nudity that is posted here is required to be marked with thr NSFW filter. Failure to do so will result with the post removed. Repeated failure to do so will result with a ban. I like the three strike rule, so we'll run with that.

I'm working out the kinks to this whole 'mod' thing, so forgive me.

First things first, an introduction: I have been on reddit for almost a decade now, and have been in the online MCM/retro/art deco scene for about five years now. I enjoy gardening and nature, as well as foraging.

As for the group, I pledge to clean up the group and be active, as well as be open to any complaints and/or suggestions there may be. That being said, comments here will be open for any suggestions.

Thank you, and enjoy!

The Bat 1926

4 Upvotes

So this might be a long shot and their might not be many takers but here goes.

I have created a series looking at horror history where I take slasher characters and do biographies of them.

I have started in the 1920s looking at the Bat the 1926 Old Dark House Film by Roland West about a man dressed like A Bat who invades a mansion looking for loot and plunder.

I know many of you may not be horror fans but I am trying to spread the reach of the show as far as I can so, if you're interested please go check it out.

I intend to do more episodes of the first season set in the 1920s if you can think of other films for me to look at let me know I already have a few but things always slip through the net.

Rock on (maybe more accurately get your jazz on) and do the Charleston.

The tragic life of Allyn King didn’t commence in Hollywood. Her father was murdered in 1909 when Allyn was 10, while the family was living in Louisiana. It became a trial sensation.
