Description

Because I feel I have been neglecting dA rather immensely, here's a finished piece.

It's rather large, so be warned if you look at it in full view.

Anyway, some backstory, AND LOOK A NEW CHARACTER:

Iz spent her longest period of time in vaudeville performing in Chicago. She was there from 1928 to 1930ish. During the first two years of her stay, she was as wild as many of you know her to be. She attended orgies and dated up and down and backwards and on and on and on.

It was there she met the young man above, Elijah Capio (relative of Alice's Robert, if the last name looks familiar). He photographed her at wild parties and they became friends.

Iz left vaudeville for the Ziegfeld Follies in 1930 (she was there for the final revue before Ziegfeld's death). As Elijah is from NYC, she met him there when she arrived and they struck up a close friendship, never romantic. He took photos of her in very private situations, in very public ones, with Andy, with the other Ziegfeld Girls, with celebs, at work, at play, etc.

She lived in rather empty apartments, as she had nothing much more than clothes and trinkets, so that's her brownstone you see them in, and this is one more evening of their sitting together and chatting before going out.

Elijah belongs to chromesthetic.
