Boardwalk Empire and Flapper Fashion!

Well, dear hearts, we don't know if you watched Boardwalk Empire on Sunday night or not, but we sure did. Much to our dismay, we had been hearing a bit of damage control already regarding this show and were really concerned it wasn't going to be any good.

Wow. Were we ever wrong! First of all, Steve Buscemi is a fantastic actor, as everyone knows, and we can not wait to see what happens to his character Nucky Thompson. Second, we have loved Michael Pitt, the actor who plays Jimmy Darmody, since he wooed Michelle Williams on Dawson's Creek as Henry Parker. And, finally, the costumes are to die for!

In fact, we are really, really hoping that we see some 1920s styles hit the fashion scene soon as a result of this show (just as Mad Men is inspiring designers now). But, until the 1920s craze makes its way onto the pages of Vogue, we'll have to settle with the few 1920s-inspired fashions we can find now...
