Welcome to the social design: loose lessons from the stylized representation of the social in cinema and print. A blog very often about the interior design, fashion, social manners, and music created for and reflected in vintage cinema and print. Especially from the Sixties and Seventies, especially Italian, and especially from swingin' party scenes. We're awfully big on disco hippies and the OpArt accent here. Guaranteed, of course, to wander off on the occasional tangent into (maybe?) related subject matter, with plenty of tongue-in-cheek commentary for your consideration along the way. Comments are welcome, so please consider yourself invited...

BLACK EMANUELLE MODELING ON CAMEL DUNG, "VELLUTO NERO" (1976)










#16:  IF YOUR JOB STINKS, MOVE ON.

(In celebration of my new job!)


Some jobs are better than others. And some jobs stink. In this scene, the most often cast Black Emanuelle Laura Gemser is trying to make it work with little more than a caftan, an asshole photographer, and a smoldering pile of camel dung. Well, clearly two of these things have to go...

If your boss treats you like shit, tell him to eat it.


From the 1976 Italian film Velluto nero (also known as Black Emanuelle, White Emanuelle as well as Emanuelle in Egypt and apparently also Naked Paradise).  Also staring the very bleached Annie Belle as the complementary White Emanuelle.
