The attraction to the VINTAGE style is increasingly entrenched, perhaps because of intrinsic characteristics that have these objets:

EXCLUSIVITY & ORIGINALITY

Such products were manufactured in small quantities. The limited copies in origin, it arrive very few pieces in our hands, ensuring that very few people can have an equal, what makes them UNIQUE, original and, therefore,VERY ESPECIAL. 

                                                      

GOOD MATERIALS


Such pieces were not made for "excessive consumerism". They are made ​​with good materials and often using traditional methods, which ensured their survival and good condition over time.

 

So can reach us clothes, accessories of all kinds (scarves, earrings, necklaces, bracelets) or bags in a perfect state of preservation, almost like new!

ATTRACTIVE PRICES

Exclusivity and quality are paid, but these vintage pieces are rarely exorbitant prices, except, of course, true "VINTAGE ICONS" as a great original HERMES, with prices not suitable for everyone.

Well you can put a dress or a vintage bag to take to the street, marking style, creativity and exclusivity.

In the fashion department stores we can find "revivals" of vintage style, but really it is not genuinely VINTAGE objets, but these pieces "reminiscent" of the 60s, 70s and 80s.

CHINESE EROTIC ART

The tradition of erotic painting in the Ming and Qing Dynasties (1664-1911) also develop between two cases: the delicacy of images where presence becomes more subtle and others more explicit that do not hide what the text describes.

In the Chinese language in a generic way images related to the ceremony, rite or interpretation beyond sexuality and procreation, are called spring images (Chung hua 春 画) or images of the Spring Palace (Chungong 春宫 画 hua).

The tradition of these representations artifacts dating back to the Han Dynasty (206 BC-280 AD), if we take as reference the representations of sexual practices as well as scenes alluding to decorate the walls of the funerary enclosures.

The erotic paintings that are made from and to the court in successive dynasties, in a special way in the Tang (618-907) and Song (960-1279), they strengthen the representation of the erotic with new keys in each period are valued and judged with a different fortune.

During the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) are seeing significant development of the erotic image in different ways and were recorded on paper in album format, as well as decorative objects in porcelain, lacquer and textile.

During the eighteenth and nineteenth different illustrated editions were made either with text or, as in this case, without him. In this type of work is common anonymity because the erotic paintings do not include the signatures of the authors although preference is known artists in this genre relevant and of course collecting from the learned class and the Imperial House.

The cultural elements that recreate the erotic rite albums Ming and Qing dynasties, manifest in the spaces and objects that comprise them. The interior and exterior intersect in the privacy of the game and action. 

The use of such erotic images has some doubts. The literature related to benign want them instruction to young girls before their marriage and sexual behavior manuals, but literature itself tells us more pleasurable purposes.

PARKER 61

The Parker 61 is the successor to the predecessor of 51 and 65 and 75. It was designed by Don Doman and his first prototypes dating from 1953, but was not marketed in the U.S. until 1956 and in Europe until 1961.

This model features a revolutionary filling mechanism, based on the capillary system. No moving parts and is filled by removing the body and performing the immersion of the pen in the ink to refill. The idea of ​​the capillary refill was by an engineer named Fred Wittnebert, who sold it to Alexander Pen Company of St. Louis, which in turn sold it to Parker in 1949.

The Parker 61 is derived from the 51 in its design, although it is somewhat less thick and more stylized, one of the 51´s problems was that the users complained of not seeing the nib when writing, so it was decided to tip the 61 an arrow pointing to the nib, which ostensibly made more expensive the production costs, because the nozzles are shaped to accommodate the arrow, which despite taking a very nice aesthetic effect, but unfortunately fell too often. 

The Parker 61 was manufactured between 1956 and 1983, while its innovative capillary load never has a great success, it was difficult to clean and the amount of ink stored was not very big, in addition to changing color ink was quite cumbersome. For these reasons in 1969 was replaced with a cartridge/converter similar to the Parker 45. 

In 1983 he stopped making the two models of Parker 61, the "Presidential" of solid gold from 9 and 14 Kt.
