John at Greenbriar Picture Shows has some terrific images up of premiere parties. I love the two chicks with the massive fur muffs. hahahaha You’d be splashed with blood by PETA freaks if you tried to wear those now!! I know it’s great that we’re more health-conscious now and everything – but I look at pictures like these, and you know everyone has a cigarette case in their pocket, and everyone is boozing it up – and it seems a bit more RAW – even though it is WAY more glamorous than today … I would love to go back in time. And look for a blurry image of Clark Gable in the background of one of the photos, cigarette dangling from his lips. Now THAT’S what I’m talkin’ about. Decadence.

Cool.
I think you can su it up this way. Back in the day, decadence and classiness lived together in wonderful, swanky harmony.
Today, “decadent” is often synonymous with “trashy” (cough– parishilton–cough)
i love how comfortable they all look at the tables… if you look now when they pan through an crowd of celebs they all look awkward and forced “oh god i hope someone doesn’t see me eat this grain of rice”
