This is ‘Dolly Daisy In Hearts And Flowers’, an incredibly creepy 1930’s stop motion video from Warner Bros featuring two male suitors (from what I could gather, a sailor and business magnate) both vying for the affection of Daisy after spotting her changing and flexing like a bodybuilder in her
This is a video of 1930’s London that’s been remastered, stabilized, and upscaled to high definition and 60FPS with AI.

The 80’s: I was born in them. And to celebrate my birthday tomorrow (I’m going to be older than whatever came before dirt, unless you’re older than me, in which we’re still spring chickens, 120 is the new 30!), here’s a video of a bunch of tasty 80’s jams (including
