I just read a detailed account of the Bal des Ifs and I’d never realised how funny this event was when you don’t focus on Madame de Pompadour. All I was taught at school is that it was the masquerade ball in 1745 where Louis XV first took (public) notice of la Pompadour, but what I didn’t know was that the former royal mistress had recently died so there was a vacancy so to speak, and a lot of noblewomen showed up specifically hoping to catch the King’s attention.

But he came dressed up as a shrub (a yew tree similar to the ones in the royal topiary gardens) along with seven other men in identical costumes, so no one knew for sure which one was the King. People always focus on how Madame de Pompadour recognised the royal shrub and talked to him, but what about the women who didn’t!! History is written by the winners but I want to hear about the women who doggedly danced the minuet with random shrubs hoping this one was the one. My book mentions that a determined noble lady followed a yew tree outside the room on a hunch, only to find that she had bet on the wrong shrub. This is what the shrub costumes looked like by the way, imagine stalking one all over the park of Versailles at night because you think his gait looks kingly and you are an ambitious noblewoman

#findings #this ball was a mess! at one point the versailles bouncers gave up on checking the guests and anyone could walk in so #commoners were going in just to fill their pockets with food from the buffet to sell it on the marketplace the next day #the infanta of spain danced with a masked man who was so knowledgeable about spanish royal gossip she believed him to be #a grandee of spain but he turned out to be a former cook at the spanish court #i need to find a book or a thesis on versailles masquerade balls

Photos at Madrid's Victory ball! 💃

We attended our first ball! It was such a dreamlike experience!! It was also our first time doing Regency reenactment so it was a challenge. We haphazardly put together some looks, had a great time learning more about the fashion and the dances and met a bunch of lovely people from all over the world. The palace was stunning, the live band was wonderful and the food delicious, it was an unforgettable night 🥰

#nips photos #personal #regency era #historical fashion #historical reenactment #napoleonic era #Spanish independence #everyone looked stunning this event felt so surreal #walking around the palace halls filled with people dancing and eating and chatting felt like time travel #the dancing was so fun too I have some videos AHHH I can't wait for the next one!! hopefully in november #there were many events these days I'll share more soon #we participated in the official reenactment of the battles at the royal palace too we were on tv and all lmao #I really need to get a fancier outfit for the next one!! we had to get ready in ONE HOUR for this ball #just curling my hair takes like 30 minutes sjkfhsf 😭 it was a mess #I looked ridiculous but Nicolas was very handsome and we had a great time so I don't care!!

Something I love seeing is non-English-speaking countries (especially in heavily gendered languages) inventing and using new gender-neutral pronouns or forms of address. It's so nice to see what people come up with and how they integrate those new words and pronouns into the existing culture. It's really heartwarming <<3

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #mtf #nonbinary #and i love when it's OFFICIALLY recognized by 'higher' authority #like when the royal spanish academy recognized the gender-neutral pronoun elle a few years back #though they did recant that inclusion but i hope it comes back soon
