OMG where are you located (I'm in Coquitlam BC)??? I'm friends with Pam too aka Mirror Mirror Bijou, do you know of or wear her other line Great Day Hair Turband? I just got another one to add to my collection, they're fabulous and very vintage too wear a turband too :D
Mae West is amazing!!!! Her birthdate is debatable though. She notoriously lied. And she DID save paramount. She saved the entire movie industry. She asked what the top exec was being paid before she agreed to contract. She said she needed to be paid more than the highest paid exec. The community loved her. She was arrested for her play Sex, but didn't spending of her sentence in jail because the jailers wife loved her and tbey would take her out every night. Life bests were nicknamed Mae Wests during WW2. And she discovered Cary Grant. He had just lost his contract with the film industry and she saw him walking through the studio on his way out, she pointed him out from her limo, said he's going to be my leading man, and the rest is history. There is so much about her that is amazing.
I love Mae West because of her straight forward way. She said what she was thinking, no filter. A true legend. Many of the old Hollywood stars seems to like Max Factor, the same perfumes and vaselin. Ty for this video.
I love Mae West. She totally owned all the people who called her "fat". I love your videos, I've only recently discovered your channel. You're just so lovely and soothing to watch. And you do an amazing job at picking out modern accessories and such that would fit with a vintage star's tastes.
Marina Martinez That’s because she always wrote her own material. She wrote plays too, and made it to Broadway. All theses famous people that were in Vaudeville were very gifted, talented and funny!
I've been waiting for this!!!!! She is my favorite movie star - she had the wit and humor of Groucho Marx and sex appeal! brains, beauty and street smarts. P.S. her shoes were made to be 9 inches high- she was under 5 foot and she's a Brooklyn NY baby!!!! RIP ya feisty Irish pixie!
I had a quick look at Wiki to clarify my thoughts, but I did see that Mae West's liking for the Max Factor "make up" was well in line with other actresses. His products were initially meant only for professional theatre, film and TV, but they were just so darn good, actresses wanted to use the stuff for everyday wear as well. The company had no choice but to come up with a line of products for performers to wear in their everyday life, and then for all women who wished to emulate them. Max Factor did a lot of hands on work with the actresses, doing specialized facial charts for them to follow. Personal attention, and training in the correct way to artfully display their faces to best effect would have cemented the actresses devotion to the brand. No wonder Mae West kept using the PanStik and face powder. He would have taught her how to properly apply them AND how to use the eye shadows. I thik he would have told her what I had to learn myself; a light application, properly applied, is much more attractive and anti aging than than slathering on thick layers of gunk.
Mae actually was making her own stage makeup before Max Factor had started on actresses. He certainly was a genius! He had his shop on the corner of Hollywood Boulevard for decades. There was a room for Blondes, another for Brunettes, and a third for Redheads! He also was the one who decided Lucille Ball should be a redhead! She loved him too and was the makeup man for I Love Lucy in the beginning.
Joy Parfum and Max Factor Pan Stick. Still amazing products. Not sure if they make the pan cake matte any longer. Vs the stick? Loved Mae West... Ty for sharing.
Mae West was the pioneer of all the blond diva on the screen👸🏼! And a Leo woman 🦁👑💄 Really I wish more than ever that parfum "Bal à Versaille" because also Liz Taylor 💎used to have it, like you said in one of your videos🥰. Talking about blondies , Would be also interesting see about the german actress Marlene Dietrich 😉
Great vidio! I have the same bday as her! I knew her signature scent wad Shocking. But how did u find out that she wore Bal A V and Joy!?!? Very curious! 💞😍💞
An interesting part about her life that not a lot of people know is that she was a Spiritualist. Many summers from the 1930s on, she made the long trip to the Spiritualist community of Lily Dale in Western NY State. She had regular readings from her favorite medium, Jack Kelly. Those two raised the funds to build the Healing Temple. In fact there's a photograph of the two of them near it. She was a very interesting woman.
Very interesting! I just loved her...still do love her movies..she was very feminine but tough on inside ..didnt let Hollywood get to her...she "made it happen"..i read too somewhere she was a very loving person..would love to hear about her home life! Like how did she spent time w realatives, holidays , ect like a real" person....
She held regular seances in her apartment at Ravenswood in LA!! Also, if you read about her life and family, she was very good and very close to her parents, brother and sister, Beverly. She had a happy family that she always took care of.
On a few of my return trips to Los Angeles (after moving away) I stayed a few nights in Hollywood, and one day I walked over to the Max Factor Building and took a leisurely stroll through. I was astounded when, in his mint green room for redheads I wondered who the actress in one portrait on a countertop was -- and then it moved! It was my own reflection in a mirror! I have never looked that good EVER, and all I was doing was standing in his room intended to best showcase people with my hair color! So after that I would tell people: "If I ever need to be made up, Rimmel can do my lips, but Max Factor gets everything else." At least until Max Factor pulled out of the U.S. market. I grabbed a few last double-ended mascaras -- cocoa brown at one end and gold at the other -- at the "Mart of K" before it all disappeared. As for les parfums, I tried Joy briefly in the 1990s, and it smelled just awful on me. But that's just me. (ANYTHING by Yves Saint Laurent, however ... magic!}
Everytime I hear “Hello my lovelies” its like ASMR and I feel relaxed and almost sleepy but these videos are so interesting I have to fight the urge to close my eyes so I can see these products 🤣
I've watched her movie, "I'm No Angel," a film that supposedly help save Paramount studios! It had her trademark line, "Come up and see me sometime." It's a funny film, plus it was cool to see a young Cary Grant :)
Kasiagirl Cary Grant was kinda “discovered” by Mae while filming at Paramount, but he had already made several movies already. I like to think she was the one who made him a star though.
Marjorie Margel you are so right girl! I read in a Cary Grant biography that he was struggling trying to make it and he gave total credit to Mae for paving his way to making it big. I read that when Mae passed away her apartment was frozen in time. All decor was 1920’s-1930’s and people assumed she died broke which was far from the truth. She was smart with investments and her money. She truly is in a class all her own!
@@Laurajaneatelier There used to be a tv commercial for it and the voice said it is THE MOST COSTLY PERFUME IN THE WORLD. Probably why I was so dying to get it lol❤
Joy was once the most expensive perfume in the world, it was created by a Parisian fashion house, not a fragrance maker. It's no longer the most expensive fragrance today. Why don't you improve your research and get the history of Joy perfume correct?
Oh my sparkles!!! I love everything you do! I wore Max Factor pan stick untill they stopped selling it. I loved it. Wish I could find some more Mae West was such a classy lady. She left everything she had to her long life friend . He has a TH-cam video doing a tour of house she left him & he shows all of her beautiful evening gowns & her jewelry. Very glamorous woman. Thanks so much for sharing your lovely self with all of us.🌹💟🌹💟🌹💟🌹💟🌹💟
Goodness, those are beautiful diamonds. "Dearie, goodness had nothing to do with it." I like the movie, l'm No Angel, and She Done Him Wrong. Nice video. How do you gather all the info and products, Laura?
I've been using the max factor pressed powder for years. No matter how many other brands I try I always go back to it. Its silky, smooth, feels so lightweight with good coverage. Classics are always the best. ❤️
Loved May West. She was beautiful and funny , charming and strong. Creative and ahead of her time. What was it about her persona and character you couldn’t admire ?
Yay ! A new video on a Sunday night after my bubble bath ! What a treat ! Your videos bring me so much peace & calm & vintage ideas ! Thank you 😊 + I use Vaseline on my eyelashes/ then curl When I want a break from mascara.... gives a little glow .
Hi , I have used vasoline on my lashes every night for forty years and I have long black lashes , and I think I always will , I have from time to time used an eye cream but not as good as vasoline !
My Grandparents lived in L.A in the Thirties. Rented Mae West a house next door to theirs. My Mom and my Uncles as children would hang on the garden wall to get a look at her way back then! Their verdict? “She’s tiny!!” (Meaning she was very short)
I loved this video! Mae West was fabulous and an inspiration to all of us. She supposedly didn’t like working with WC Fields - so she is an inspiration for all of us who deal with difficult coworkers. And she did it looking amazing! Thank you, Laura Jane! You’re great!
Mae West, was so ahead of her time! I have her classic videos! Her beauty regime, made her look 30 years younger than what she was! "It's not the men in my life!" It's the life in my men! One of her famous sayings! Love her! 😅
Gaultier copied Schiaparelli. That's widely known in fashion history. He also designed a male torso bottle for his male fragrance which was super popular in the 90s in the gay community.
Mae West is a great favourite of mine, especially She Done Him Wrong. I am fascinated by the idea of putting vaseline over eye shadow. I have no experience with makeup and in my imagination, when you put the vaseline on, I would have thought it would wipe the eye shadow off? Could you maybe film a tutorial video to show how it works? It would be interesting to see! Thank you for the video.
@@dabdella1460 , Oh wow! Good to know. Thank you👍. I use olive oil to remove waterproof eyeliner & magnetic eyeliner for those magnetic lashes. Some people use baby oil. Have a beautiful day😘
@@normalopez3476 norma those two choices seem heavier, and could be gotten into the eye Try the petroleum jelly, It moves smoothly without pulling skin. I'm 62. Dd
I used to wear Max Factor pancake makeup as a child! Holy cow that stuff was thick! I’m not sure what I was covering up because I had no wrinkles like I do now😂
I love, love your videos, started watching last week and have already watched so many. Any chance you can do an Ava Gardner video? She was a stunning natural beauty. I shared your Chanel with my mom and sister💕

Hello Laura! I was wondering if you could make a video on vintage drugstore perfumes. Things like Jontue by Revlon, Emeraude by Coty, White Shoulders and Cabochard by Gres are a few that come to mind that I would love to hear your thoughts on. I love this series that you are doing on the ladies. I would say maybe Jane Birkin next but I'm not sure she has revealed much of her beauty products though I know she launched a perfume with Miller Harris.
@Bine Kline I believe she was a model/actress in the mid/ late 60's. She was married to an older man I think a director. She had a very natural beauty. Many wondered what she saw in this older man. To each her own!
I have always been fascinated by the movie stars of the golden age of cinema. I love max factor products. Why? It was endorsed by the stars back then therefore good enough today. Thank you so much for this channel xx.
Jennifer Devlin Well, Max Factor was a real person you know way back in the early Twenties onward. The used to be his make up and beauty store on Hollywood Blvd. it’s gone now, was a museum for a time shut down in the late Eighties or early Nineties. Laura, you would have loved it! There were three private makeup suites, One for Blondes, Brunette and Redheads. He was the one that told Lucille Ball to go with Red Hair for her career. Changed her life! It was open to everyone back then, but the stars had private appts back then.
I know he was a real person. At least one of his descendants set up Smashbox Cosmetics. I am from the UK and have never been to the USA but I have an enthusiastic interest in history of a mixture of genres. Thanks for the information.
I love your videos! Mae West was a force! she has a funny bit that she would say on talk shows about what she did to get her diamonds, which West was known for. That little gal had impeccable taste in jewelry, I love your earrings you shared by way. If you haven't done one yet, I'd love to see one for Lucille Ball. I recently dyed my hair red. I read somewhere that some Sheik or Arabian Prince kept Ball in a lifetime supply of henna in a special secret color for the rest of her life, he adored the shade of her hair so much! 💕
The Emerson Radio Corp. actually designed radios that looked like the costumes Mae West wore. Life Jackets were also known as a "Mae West" during World War II.
Beautiful informative video! Oh the perfumes those stars would wear, sure would like to smell them. 😉 Laura you're beautiful in black velvet! My husband also loves me in velvet. 😘
Vaseline over eyeshadow won't remove the shadow if it is spread on in a fluid motion, it's rubbing or wiping that will remove it. I have sometimes applied moisturizer over my foundation and blush the same way.... back before setting spray was hot
If you can can you look up Arlene Dahj. Not only was she immaculately beautiful she was also an excellent actress and still alive , I believe. Thank you. ❤️
I met Arlene Dahl years ago, when she did a little seminar for the company I worked for. She was representing some of their beauty products at the time. Lovely lady!
Just to add an opinion about Vaseline. It seems that many are practically demonizing it because it's a petroleum product but they are wrong. Vaseline is a great moisturizer. My mom's generation used it on the eyes and lips before they were allowed to wear makeup. I used it for facials and still today for cheap skin.
Don't forget to follow me on Instagram and say hello:) instagram.com/dahliasintheattic/
Thank you Laura for doing Mae West.
That perfume I bought last week on eBay. I last a long time.
OMG where are you located (I'm in Coquitlam BC)??? I'm friends with Pam too aka Mirror Mirror Bijou, do you know of or wear her other line Great Day Hair Turband? I just got another one to add to my collection, they're fabulous and very vintage too wear a turband too :D

“When I'm good, I'm very good, but when I'm bad, I'm better. ”
― Mae West
Love that quote! 😘
My favorite

"You only live once but if you do it right, once is enough", my favourite quote of hers.
"It's better to be looked over, than overlooked." -Mae West ❤
Happy birthday to her..she was one of a kind.
"It's not about the men in your life, it's the life in your men."
Oh how true!
"Is that a pistol in your pocket honey or are you just glad to see me?" :) Another fabulous video Laura!
"I used to be Snow White, but I drifted" hahaha I love Mae West and I love your videos ...

Unfortunately Cary said she was a man *facepalm* Mae brought up female sexuality but men weren't ready for it but she stood her ground.

Ok Sure! I will add her to my list
Yes sure! She was my favourites of all- Still is!
@Bine Kline I believe she was a model/actress in the mid/ late 60's. She was married to an older man I think a director. She had a very natural beauty. Many wondered what she saw in this older man. To each her own!
Bine Kline if you’ve heard of Birkin handbags , they were created for her . She was an amazing trailblazer
Very forward girl for the era, well ahead of her time. We will never forget her!
Why don’t ya come up and see me sometime? Mae West I grow up watching her movies 🎥
Love Mae West. What a gal!
Thanks for sendings the links so I can purchase these vintage beautiful items!!💜🙏💜💜💄💄💄💄
Yes
She was amazing 👏
PS I think Audrey Hepburn wore Joy too!
I have always been fascinated by the movie stars of the golden age of cinema. I love max factor products. Why? It was endorsed by the stars back then therefore good enough today. Thank you so much for this channel xx.
Jennifer Devlin Well, Max Factor was a real person you know way back in the early Twenties onward. The used to be his make up and beauty store on Hollywood Blvd. it’s gone now, was a museum for a time shut down in the late Eighties or early Nineties.
Laura, you would have loved it! There were three private makeup suites, One for Blondes, Brunette and Redheads. He was the one that told Lucille Ball to go with Red Hair for her career. Changed her life! It was open to everyone back then, but the stars had private appts back then.
I know he was a real person. At least one of his descendants set up Smashbox Cosmetics. I am from the UK and have never been to the USA but I have an enthusiastic interest in history of a mixture of genres. Thanks for the information.
LOVE those ear rings!!!!!
P.S. my grandma called me Diamond Lil when she bought me my first pair of diamond earrings for my first birthday!
Thank you very much for this.
It was traveling on time,and realized, that all those products work today.
Love this video and others! What about Rita Hayworth?
Rita Hayworth rocked!
Oh my gosh just found you and have to say I'm living for this series!!!! Thankyou so so much this subject is one of my biggest interests
I love your videos! Mae West was a force! she has a funny bit that she would say on talk shows about what she did to get her diamonds, which West was known for. That little gal had impeccable taste in jewelry, I love your earrings you shared by way. If you haven't done one yet, I'd love to see one for Lucille Ball. I recently dyed my hair red. I read somewhere that some Sheik or Arabian Prince kept Ball in a lifetime supply of henna in a special secret color for the rest of her life, he adored the shade of her hair so much! 💕
I'm a sucker for earrings. Those were beautiful!!
Her wit is unparalleled
Great video, I love your makeup in this one!!
The Emerson Radio Corp. actually designed radios that looked like the costumes Mae West wore. Life Jackets were also known as a "Mae West" during World War II.
Coconut oil smart lady
Welcome back darling.
I love your channel very much.
I wish I live in your heritage world.
Beautiful informative video! Oh the perfumes those stars would wear, sure would like to smell them. 😉 Laura you're beautiful in black velvet! My husband also loves me in velvet. 😘
I love this! Thank you
Vaseline over eyeshadow won't remove the shadow if it is spread on in a fluid motion, it's rubbing or wiping that will remove it. I have sometimes applied moisturizer over my foundation and blush the same way.... back before setting spray was hot
I adore her. I was 8 years old when she died.
A Doris day episode would be terrific.
Janet Leigh & tipi hedron would be interesting.
I love anything about Mae West!!
I never saw any of her movies, but she was a glamour girl, for sure!!
Lovely beautiful beauty products i have used at times sill do
That was lovely thank you x
They all loved Max Factor. The Max Factor Museum may still be in Hollywood.
If you can can you look up Arlene Dahj. Not only was she immaculately beautiful she was also an excellent actress and still alive , I believe. Thank you. ❤️
I met Arlene Dahl years ago, when she did a little seminar for the company I worked for. She was representing some of their beauty products at the time. Lovely lady!
Please do one on Lucille Ball!
I love these! How about Raquel Welch and Jayne Mansfield??
Pamela Main That would be awesome!
I wish we had smell-o-vision already lol. Merry (belated) Christmas and wish you happiness and success for the New Year 2020!
I agree! 😁Would love to know what all these fragrances smell like. To buy a whole bottle is expensive and samples are so hard to come by!
Love her movies, bought a DVD collection of her, love her
Vaseline is the best to take off eye makeup, mascara etc.
Just to add an opinion about Vaseline. It seems that many are practically demonizing it because it's a petroleum product but they are wrong. Vaseline is a great moisturizer. My mom's generation used it on the eyes and lips before they were allowed to wear makeup. I used it for facials and still today for cheap skin.
I'm living for these videos!
