Five little princesses dressed in luxurious clothes walked out of Jenny's room in admiration.

When Jenny came here, she had already told them that they did not need to wear too good clothes, because there would be surprises when they came here.

It's right in front of you.

Five people, all dressed in beautiful retro princess dresses.

Catherine was wearing a pure white dress at this time, looking like a delicate white swan.

"It's so beautiful, Jenny." Ada was also very happy. She was wearing a black dress, and the design of the dress boldly exposed half of her back. It seemed that Jenny really put a lot of thought into choosing the clothes according to the characteristics of each person.

clothing.

"Jenny, why do you have so many beautiful retro clothes here?"

Lily adjusted her skirt.

"My grandfather liked nostalgia very much, so he collected these clothes and had a special place for displaying them."

"Really?!" Lisa's eyes lit up, "Let's go take a look!"

"We don't have much time...but we can take a look."

Jenny led a few people along the corridor for a while, then came to a door and opened it.

There are models displayed inside, all wearing luxurious dresses, and there is no dust at all. It looks like someone has cleaned them frequently.

These clothes are all women's clothes from the 18th to 19th centuries. The biggest similarity is the thin waist. It seems that this was the fashion of Europeans at that time.

"This waist is so thin." Lily looked at it and said.

After hearing this, Catherine looked at her waist. It seemed that... it didn't feel "tight" at all, right?

"Ours are imitations. In fact, the waistband has no function at all. However, the clothes of these models are all authentic from the 19th century and are treasures."

They are indeed treasures. Some of them are decorated with diamonds and gold. It seems that a lot of money was spent on collecting these clothes.

Suddenly, Catherine noticed a gold corset, but the more she looked at it, the more strange it became.

"Why doesn't this have an arm position?"

Catherine noticed that although the clothes were luxurious, they seemed to be worn by people without hands.

"That's a demelo corset, which is used to tie up the hands. You know, at that time, women's rights were not guaranteed, and men liked some strange things."

Jenny explained.

Indeed, in a sense, waist binding is a deformed aesthetic just like Chinese foot binding.

But sometimes a thin waist does seem to look good?

Lisa is very interested in these clothes.

But now they don't have that much time to stay and appreciate it.

"Okay, girls, it's time for us to go." Jenny looked at the clock hanging on the wall. They had been delayed for a long time.

A group of princesses came to the hall with smiles on their face.

"Happy birthday, Jenny!"

Just as he entered the hall, a handsome man came up to him. Jenny was a little hesitant, but she smiled at him.

"Who is he?" Catherine asked quietly, but she didn't expect that he heard her.

"This beautiful girl, my name is Jeffrey Gambino."

"Ah...hello."

Gambino?

Suddenly, Catherine's mouth became wide.

mafia!

These three words suddenly appeared in Catherine's mind.

Yes, the United States in the 1960s was when the Mafia was rampant. The famous film "Lord of War" also used a background from this time.

The Buano family, the Colobo family, the Gambino family, the Genovese family and the Lucchese family, these five families are also the most powerful among the current mafia, and they are also the most rampant mafia in the United States.

of five families.

Catherine hesitated, but in the end she could only regain her composure.

After all, not everyone named Gambino is a Mafia.

But then, when Catherine looked around, she suddenly realized that this was what happened...

The people on the dance floor may look gentle and elegant, but the fierce man standing next to them is obviously protecting these people. Half of their waistbands are exposed. If you can't tell, then you have failed as a person.

.

"Is it possible that Jenny's grandfather also..."

Catherine suddenly thought of her own video.

In Hollywood in this era, it can be said that there is no one who has nothing to do with the Mafia.

As long as someone from Hollywood is not related to the Mafia, it is basically impossible for him to be famous.

This situation is somewhat similar to Hong Kong in the 1980s.

In other words, if they were the ones putting pressure on the MPAA...

This is indeed a simple task, and my film is not a big investment or heavyweight. Since I have been greeted, I might simply pass it. Even a Catholic is afraid of death.

Catherine carefully recalled the history of the American Mafia.

The American Mafia was probably the prototype originally formed by Italian immigrants. Their power in the United States rose during the Great Depression in the 1930s and reached its greatest strength in the mid-20th century. It was not until the 1970s and 1980s that a series of FBI investigations

The investigation undermined their power.

In 1961, with the arrival of the golden age of the United States, it was also the final peak of the Mafia.

The American Mafia (Italian) first gained power in the New York area, and now it has gradually formed five families, and Gambino is one of them.

Now the person in charge of the Gambino family is Carlo Gambino, who has the most vision and brains among them.

The reason why Catherine knows this character is also very simple.

Because he is the prototype of the movie "The Godfather"!

He was prosecuted numerous times but was never convicted!

Carlo Gambino is well versed in politics and law. He is the only godfather who has left law enforcement agencies helpless. Apart from his ubiquitous influence and dazzling wealth, no one knows what he has done.

Catherine once considered whether she should film a "The Godfather", but when this time came, she realized that she had to be more careful. She didn't want to get into trouble with some people.

"It would be great if we could travel back to the 1980s..."

Catherine complained quietly.

Indeed, in the 1980s, everything was available, and it was at that time that New York's public security began to improve.

While she was thinking wildly, she was bumped by Ada. Only then did she realize that she had been in a daze, but this Jeffrey was still polite.

"Sorry, I got distracted. My name is Catherine, nice to meet you."

"It's okay, beautiful lady."

Looking at the other party, Catherine couldn't help but feel energetic.

She always felt uncomfortable being associated with the Mafia.

"Just watch, one day I will reach a point where you all can look up to me!"

Somehow, such an idea began to appear in Catherine's mind.
