Born on this day: African American rhythm and blues nightclub chanteuse and transgender pioneer Jackie Shane (15 May 1940 – 21 February 2019). The regal and enigmatic soul diva (who often looked and sounded like a fierce hybrid of Little Richard and Eartha Kitt) originally hailed from Nashville, Tennessee but had to relocate to Canada to find acclaim and acceptance in her adopted city of Toronto, Ontario. Disillusioned with the music industry, by the early 70s Shane retired and vanished so completely off the radar she was widely assumed to be dead. Luckily, Shane lived long enough to be re-discovered and embraced by a new generation of admirers as a LGBTQ icon and for her long out-of-print recorded work to be compiled and reissued on CD. (You can listen to the 2017 album Any Other Way on Spotify – and I highly recommend you do!).

God I KNEW this was gonna happen. If you're excited about fob returning to a more punk/emo sound that's wonderful but if you knock their rnb/blues/electronic/hip hop influenced sound in that excitement then you fundamentally misunderstood the message of mania and need to take a look at why you view those genres and that sound as "pedestrian" and of lesser value.

A Well-Chapeaued Feathursday
Birds in Hats!
Our graduate intern Olivia is currently preparing a major exhibition on the work  of wood engraver, illustrator, designer, letterpress printer, and fine press publisher Barry Moser. He is well known, at least in fine press and book enthusiast circles, for his distinctive engravings and exquisitely-designed limited editions from his Pennyroyal Press. The rest of the world, however, mainly knows him for his illustrations for children’s books, which are usually executed in watercolors. We hold many of Moser’s fine press publications, but only a few examples of his children’s books. The Curriculum Collection in our general library, however, holds quite a number of his children’s books, and we are borrowing a few to include in the exhibition.
We are especially tickled by Moser’s humorous paintings of anthropomorphized birds in hats for Virginia Hamilton’s collection of African American folktales, When Birds Could Talk & Bats Could Sing, published in 1996 by The Blue Sky Press, an imprint of Scholastic, Inc. The illustrations are a perfect accompaniment to this set of lively and entertaining jewels of American folklore.
Since the book was mostly designed by Moser, it bears an extensive colophon, usually reserved for fine press publications. This is why we know that the paintings were executed in transparent watercolor on handmade Barcham Green paper, the types are Sumner Stone’s Stone Serif Medium (1987) and Gudrun Zapf von Hesse’s Diotima Italic (1953), the color separations were made by Bright Lights, Ltd in Singapore, and the edition was printed and bound by Tien Wah Press in Singapore. Probably more information than any child would need to know, but we sure appreciate it.

Jeanne Lanvin
Fashion Pioneer
Pierre Toromanoff

A visually stunning homage to a fashion visionary and the world's longest-running couture company in the world.
Jeanne Lanvin was ahead of her time. The French fashion visionary and resourceful businesswoman from a poor background not only created the first designer fashion line for children - this was colourful and full of lightness at a time when children were still dressed like adults - the first tailored men's collection and the first unisex eau de toilette, she also founded the longest-running fashion company in the world. At times, this employed over 1000 people and included women's, children's and men's fashion, accessories, fragrances, furnishing textiles and decorative objects, and even its own paint factory. The self-taught Lanvin started out as a milliner with her own boutique and managed to become one of the greatest fashion designers of the 20th century with creative energy and inventiveness. She created Art Deco costumes for theatre and film productions, developed the legendary perfume Arpège and a special Lanvin blue based on the shade Fra Angelico blue. Jeanne Lanvin - Fashion Pioneer is dedicated to the extraordinary life and work of this exceptional designer in this richly illustrated coffee table book.

"sam why would dave even be watching blues brothers in the first place that doesnt seem like his genre" he'd watch it bc he's 13 and he's doing it for the irony factor and since its from some washed up snl fuckers, that makes it one million percent more hilarious
then he actually watches it and its so batshit insane that he keeps watching it. like its a movie where:
Carrie Fisher blows up a building seemingly at random before driving away.
two grown men get bullied by a nun into doing some good.
it is revealed in literally the next scene that god is sending them on a mission.
"Are you the police?" "no ma'am. we're musicians."
Actual literal R&B and soul music legend Ray Charles is there and he has a gun.
they call in the fucking army just to apprehend these musicians
are you telling me that Dave Strider's 13 year old ironic watch isn't going to turn into a life long unironic love of this movie
