"Attractive People doing Attractive Things in Attractive Places"

I was first reminded of the work of Slim Aarons last year after watching the episode of Mad Men where Don considers taking off with a wealthy, glamorous and perfectly tanned band of gypsies in palm springs.

Although I count Aarons among my favorite photographers, a mix of recessionista fatigue and longing for summer weekends by the pool has inspired me to revisit his work.

In my opinion, these photos of the jet-set of the 50s, 60s and 70s are the most perfect form of visual escapism. Enjoy.
