Where did we (as a species) go wrong?? What stopped it??
WWII. :/ Another reason to hate Hitler. Its death started because it became popular; people started to think it was 'gaudy' and projected false-luxury [oh no, not false luxury, we can't have THAT... 9_9 ], but WWII effectively ended it, though it's experienced a resurgence in the last thirty years and has been picked up again as a retro style.
Temera de Lempicka; "The Musician." THIS is an example of the art style, and damn it's gorgeous.
@Zen: I spent like 20 seconds looking for the engine. Then I looked at the wheel. My face is still hurting from the grin that split it. That is fucking AWESOME.
