Meeting You in Belleville

Remember the movie "The Triplets of Belleville" (also known as "Belleville Rendez-Vous" in the UK and "Les triplettes de Belleville" in french)? No? Well, it's that movie along with Disney's "The Princess and the Frog" that inspired today's LOTD. Ok, the theme of the 3rd Designer United event also inspired me.

First, the theme of the Designer United 3 (DU3) is Vaudeville. Vaudeville is a theatrical genre that was very popular in the early 1880s until the early 1930s. The Triplets from the movie "The Triplets of Belleville" were vaudeville stars in their youth as we can see at the beginning of the movie. Also, the music for that film by the music of the 1920s. As for "The Princess and the Frog", it is set in the French Quarter of New Orleans in what seems the 20s-30s, at least according to the fashion. So, basically, I decided to go for a 1920-1930 look for today's LOTD.
