    What another wonderful video! And in my 32 years on this planet, I have never in my life heard of a vegan meat lovers pizza! That low key intrigued me lol

    So fun !
    This just keeps getting better and better!
    I liked the Art Deco theme. I am a senior and my parents were older when I was born, so we have a lot of period furniture, china, knick knacks, and old letters from 1925-1926. My Father was a railway mail clerk in Union Station, DC, and sorted a lot of magazines. So I am illustrating the manuscript of the letters with his first wife, using images of period magazine covers which are so fun.
    Here is a quote from one of his letters which I think you will enjoy, written in the Railroad YMCA:
    March 22, 1926-- Flappers In The YMCA
    Say what do you know about that. There are all of a sudden about 5 flappers in the room. One has started on the piano. It has never happened before and I have my watch out and was about to take my pulse but I guess it would not be normal if I did.
    This is ordinarily a man's place and to have a lot of flappers to come in and take charge will
    bear investigation. 4 of them went into the library, but in passing I failed to see any I would trade you for so I will just keep on writing.
    One is about as tall as you are and a little heavier with a turned up nose. The one playing the piano is about like a greek and the others I can't see so well but one looks about like a girl I used to like a little who teaches school down below Pulaski. One is older and may be the Chaperone.
    ------------------------------------------
    I am illustrating it with:
    Life Magazine cover "The Flapper" by Frank Xavier Leyendecker, 2 February, 1922

    I think for us, it would be sturgeon watching on the James River. The river on a good day is the place to be. Your video is so good at showing the quirky side of Richmond. Love it.

    The clothes you and Luke have got on i love and the Ford Model T cars as well. I know i've not seen the great gatsby before but with a reenactment of a period drama it's something that you see out of Downton Abbey. The Charleston Dance i seen off a 4 part episode of Doctor Who called "Black Orchid", but one day i'd love to try the Charleston
