J.C. Leyendecker, famous queer artist of dapper 1920s people, across a hundred years of separation: so sometimes we need to get a little athlete, I mean a real small one, posing like he’s going to kill and eat someone, leaving no shards of bone.
Me, humble disciple: absolutely absolutely
J.C. Leyendecker: he could kill a horse by sneering. That’s how cunty he is.
Me: doin my best, boss -
J.C. Leyendecker: you must then put him in the silky underwear -
Me: of course.
Leyendecker: do your absolute best to shine up the silky, shiny, thin underwear. Oil it.
Me: I’m not great at this -
Leyendecker: think silk. Think shiny. Think, “this is how you sell clothing to straight men.”
Me: is - is it?
Leyendecker: the whip must, of course, be slightly suggestive. No, more than that. More than that. It’s important that he be provocatively catchable, AND YET - he can defend himself!
Me: got it, boss. Um - you know I’m not actually - I don’t know how to paint -
Leyendecker: shhh, I am telling you. to sell suits we also need a suit guy. we model the suit guy on a Suit Guy, one of my 1920s Suit Guys, it’ll be great.
Me: I can probably draw -
Leyendecker: suit guy could kiss him on the head. 😘 . Like that. Say that.
Me: 🫡
J.C. Leyendecker, “man and jockey clothing advertisement,” 1923. This is how we sell men’s suits, apparently.
Best collection of screengrabs I've seen from this movie! (A little offput that it seems to be AI upgraded? weirdly smooth)
Idk what Buster Keaton was thinking shoving himself and another man in a dressing room, wrestled in there for almost 5 minutes straight until all their clothes were gone, leaving only underwears and he thought it was funny and not super homo-erotic.
Ah, the 1920’s
I was not prepared for how WELL he wears that wig. Fuck

dear tumblr, please stop trying to figure out which broadly popular thing to saturate my dash with. i am on this account for one thing and one thing only: fiending over big tragic eyed boys
...ok and big tragic eyed girls. two things
It's funny because if you've seen the Duck Soup mirror scenes, without their individual makeup they look very similar! Chaotic Harpo is my favorite (he has a sort of angelic innocence that surfaces sometimes, especially when he plays the harp)... but I'd have to say Chico's the hottest, with that signature rakish charm.
I'm sure Zeppo was funny too, but next to the others, his generic male romantic lead, straight man persona never grabbed me.
In honor of Harpo have you ever done a hottest Marx brothers poll?
hm. no.
for those unfamiliar with the marx brothers, harpo plays bass, groucho does rhythm guitar and piano, chico plays lead, and zeppo plays the drums

Honestly the reason I decided to try my own, after trawling through all their vids and screeching “NOT ENOUGH”
