To begin, this is the type of vintage vanity I would like to have some day! Isn't it beautiful? I have always liked the idea of a women having her own personal area to get ready. Isn't that part of the fun? Such vanities were common in the 1930's, 40's, and 50's for women at home. Back then I feel like femininity was more celebrated and women really embraced it. That is one of the reasons I love old movies! Scroll down to see pics of famous film stars at their vanities!
Jean Harlow
Elizabeth Taylor
