Jinak oranžové #toyobaru přitahuje pozornost u nás, ale i v Rakouských Alpách, kde je relativně vyšší počet zajímavých aut vč. mnoha kusů Porshe. V té záplavě šedi to ale není překvapení, třeba takhle to vypadalo před úřadem registru vozidel. Asi bych musel zacouvat mnohem dál, aby to nesvítilo ;-)

Streamlined theaters of ‘moderne’ movie magic

“Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness.” – Frank Gehry – Source: brainyquote.com

Listed below are some of the nation’s most iconic movie theaters that feature Streamline Moderne architecture. Related to art deco, Streamline Moderne was employed principally in the 1930s and 40s as a more economical alternative due to the advent of the Great Depression and World War II. It served as a transitional design between art deco and mid-century modern and is often portrayed through sleekness and curvature to portray a sense of aerodynamics and speed.

As the images below attest, the Streamline Moderne style of architecture can also include a hearty salute towards the heavens with pylon towers extending skyward. While the theaters are listed by year of completion, as the Alex Theatre below notes, the tower adornment may have been added at a later date.

Normal Theatre (1938) in Normal, Illinois – Source: en.wikipedia.org

To this avid fan of theaters (or “theatres”), the Tower Theatre in Sacramento, the Alex Theatre in Glendale, California, the Normal Theatre in Illinois, and the Academy Theatre in Inglewood, California are among the most visually breathtaking structures in the nation. Fortunately for all of us, a number of these dynamic structures have been preserved through preservation efforts and/or adaptive reuse, though many are no longer utilized solely as theaters.

Enjoy the magical images throughout the post as representations of this most fascinating design. Peace!

👑 Vivir en la realeza nunca fue sinónimo de normalidad.
Tras los muros de palacios y salones dorados se escondía un mundo donde lo cotidiano se convertía en ritual, obsesión o directamente en extravagancia.
El control del cuerpo, del ocio y hasta de los pensamientos era tan férreo que muchas rarezas nacieron como una forma desesperada de sentir poder sobre algo propio.

La obsesión por la belleza fue una de las más constantes 💅.
La perfección física no era una cuestión estética, sino política.
La piel blanca simbolizaba pureza, estatus y distancia del trabajo manual.
Para lograrla, Isabel I de Inglaterra utilizaba el famoso ceruse de Venecia, una mezcla con plomo que cubría imperfecciones… y lentamente envenenaba.
Caída del cabello, llagas y envejecimiento prematuro eran el precio de parecer eterna.

El cabello también se convirtió en una construcción social.
En muchas cortes, especialmente durante la época victoriana, los peinados eran auténticas obras de ingeniería: postizos, rellenos, estructuras internas y días sin deshacerlos.
Dormir sentadas, convivir con suciedad o insectos era secundario frente a la imagen pública.

El ocio no se quedaba atrás 🍷.
Cuando los reyes celebraban, lo hacían sin límites.
La zarina Ana de Rusia llevó el exceso al extremo en 1740 al ordenar construir un palacio entero de hielo sobre el río Neva para una boda.
No fue solo un espectáculo visual, sino una demostración de poder cruel.
Luis XIV, por su parte, convirtió Versalles en un teatro perpetuo: banquetes interminables, óperas al aire libre y jardines iluminados donde comer y divertirse era un acto político.

Las mascaradas ofrecían una ilusión de libertad.
Bajo una máscara, los nobles podían fingir anonimato durante unas horas, romper reglas y jugar a ser otros, antes de volver a encajar en el corsé del protocolo.

Algunas obsesiones rozaron lo patológico.
La emperatriz Sissi de Austria fue esclava de su propia imagen 👗.
Mantenía una cintura imposible con corsés extremos, seguía dietas líquidas y dedicaba jornadas enteras al cuidado de un cabello que le llegaba a los tobillos.
La belleza, para ella, fue una prisión más.

El aburrimiento palaciego también generó entretenimientos crueles 🎲.
Enanos de corte tratados como juguetes humanos, cacerías dentro de salones reales o bromas humillantes eran habituales.
En Rusia, la misma zarina Ana obligaba a criados con enanismo a participar en espectáculos ridiculizantes para diversión de la corte.

Incluso el dormitorio estaba lleno de manías 🛌.
Muchos monarcas dormían casi sentados, convencidos de que tumbarse del todo podía causar la muerte.
Luis XIV recibía ministros mientras hacía sus necesidades en su orinal de plata, convencido de que su tiempo era demasiado valioso para desperdiciarlo en intimidad.

Estas rarezas no desaparecieron con los siglos.
La monarquía británica moderna sigue acumulando manías llamativas.
El rey Carlos III es famoso por su precisión extrema: cordones planchados, pasta de dientes medida, viajes con su propia cama y hasta con su propio asiento de inodoro.
Otros miembros mantienen colecciones de peluches colocados con exactitud milimétrica o normas gastronómicas heredadas por simple costumbre.

También existen protocolos que parecen sacados de otra época: herederos que no pueden volar juntos, cumpleaños celebrados dos veces al año o empleados dedicados únicamente a custodiar sellos o tradiciones absurdas.

La realeza siempre ha vivido en una paradoja constante: poder absoluto y vidas encorsetadas por rituales sin sentido.
Detrás del brillo, lo extraño, lo obsesivo y lo absurdo eran la norma. Y quizá lo siguen siendo.
