The examples include Norma Talmadge /Pola Negri /Clara Bow / Gloria Swanson
/ Gilda gray / Aileen Pringle /Mary Pickford / and of course Garbo !

  5. Hi, as fans of old-style glamour, I was hoping you could help me put the word out about my Hollywood glamour party that I'm trying to win through 3's Seriously Social Prty competition.

    I'm aiming to have a huge bash, with big band, casino, champagne and cocktails. I need people to go to their website at www.facebook.com/3seriouslysocialparty
    and vote for my entry. Anyone who votes for the winning entry has a chance to get tickets to the event, so it's well worth doing.

    Please help!
