Topanga Actors Company Featuring Local Actresses

What catches our attention in older family photos, imagery in similarly old magazines, and even vintage photos sold at antique stores, swap meets, or estate sales?  Hair, shoe, & clothing styles.  Even a black and white photo grabs our attention as we look at the stately styles of yesteryear or evidence in tiny hints of a harsher and more austere era. Conversely family photos elicit memories, often attached to the clothing worn, of the characteristics of those portrayed.  "Do you remember that shirt.....  that dress..... oh how she loved it....oh how he loved that color....
