chocolatepotThe one thing I hate about Pinterest (and Tumblr) is that the repins aren't attached to the original. I see the benefit to keeping them static as of the time of repinning/reblogging and not allowing other people to basically alter posts on your own board/blog, but I always end up editing mine for dates and then I'm annoyed that inaccurate dates are now on other people's things under my name. THAT DRESS IS 1924 NOT 1923, OH NO.
I would like to see Ruby Bentall play a main character. I like that The Paradise is less lessony than Lark Rise, but she's basically playing the same character only slightly less stupid. Matthew McNulty is so hot, but he's NOT IN IT ENOUGH and I resent that. ETA: the costumes are actually terrible in this, though. Elaine Cassidy's look cheap and the shopgirls' are too 1880s.
Someone posted Hook/Aurora gifs in Tumblr and now I ship it. I don't know why I'm so suggestible.
I think the way I'm doing this ppt is to have each slide with a fashion plate and an extant dress/ensemble from the same year that shows the basic points of the dress in the plate. I think I'm going to try to find more casual photos to work in as well. It's going to be a combination of fashion history mythbuster, dating tutorial [insert joke here], and I guess I'd call it hints on being more accurate/using more variations. So everyone gets something! Not many people seem to really do the 1920s, I think because all you tend to see is robes de style or waistless tubes with straps. So I want to show the blousing and the faux-sashes and the gathering to one side and the long skirts. I'm not sure how many people would necessarily be interested specifically for the purpose of dating, but given how many museum dates for the '20s seem like someone just threw a dart at a timeline it'd probably be useful. I'm not planning to spend much time on the mythbusting specifically - just showing all these examples will basically do it.
This nail polish does not want to come off. It's a light color so I thought it would be easier, for some reason, but it's really sticking. I'm going to try working at it again tomorrow.
