Still not sure how I came up with Art Deco. LOL!

That's what I got, too.

One problem. That photo is NOT an Art Deco building.

If anything, it's Miami Googie.


YOU ARE ART DECO"

People know they're going to have a blast when you're around. You bring the fun! You think the world is a bright and brilliant place. You think other people have a lot to offer.

You are the friend everyone invites to the party. It's not the same if you're not there. You are a free spirit, but deep down you are reliable and trustworthy. You honor your commitments.

The Art Deco movement would be better represented by the Emprie State Building and the Chrysler Building.



Look at the entrances of the Empire State and Chrysler buildings' lobbies for a good example of Art Deco interiors:



Now that's me and my girlfriend. . . Who collects original Erté (Romain de Tirtof) bronze sculptures, jewelry, and serigraphs. Erté is considered the one of the originating artists of the Art Deco era. He was also the costume designer for the Follies. I'm sitting here looking at around seven Erté originals right now, such as this one:


Erté's Heat

My girlfriend has "Heat" in a Seriagraph and in a gold pendant as well. . . All Art Deco.
