So many vintage photos, so little time.

I stumbled upon Sergio Leeman’s “A Certain Cinema” site, which features more than 10,000 absolutely stunning photos of the stars of yesterday. In the spirit of the holiday season, start with his Deck the Halls gallery. Could there be anything cuter than Clara Bow waiting for Santa Claus? (Thanks to Clara Bow archive.)

In his “About” page, Leeman writes, “The casual browsing of a film book at age 13 was enough to turn assiduous moviegoing into a lifelong passion for every aspect of filmmaking… A Certain Cinema is a way of sharing all these many diverse experiences and an inexhaustible love of film.”

And for more photos of the stars celebrating Christmas, go to Comet Over Hollywood’s web site or the Comet’s Facebook page.

Hollywood style still mesmerizes. I’m dreaming of Christmases past….
