Everyone gets “The 90s” look wrong so let’s fix it
Tumblr media
If you weren’t here for part one, lemme sum it up real fast:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Okay, all up to speed? We’re being served 80s throwback stuff with the serial numbers scratched off, re-labeled as yo totally 90s. What we’ve got now isn’t completely wrong, but I’m telling you, there’s so much gold left unmined.
Tumblr media
As we saw in part one with Memphis Milano, these things get messy. Trends don’t start and end neatly every ten years. The first wave of 90s throwback attempts focused on the early part of the decade, and nobody since really pushed to represent the other seven years. Well, if you really wanna do something, I guess you gotta do it yourself.
I have suggestions. Get your flannel ready, we’ve got a lot of ground to cover.

Anyone interested in the history of the queer use of "cunt" should check out Kevin Aviance's 1996 queer club anthem "Cunty" which was sampled by Beyoncé in "Pure/Honey."

Please stop using derivatives of “cunt” to describe the way women look, it’s unbelievably sexist. It’s not cutesie or hip, it’s just degrading. Not all modern language is good language. Even if you want to use it for yourself, you can’t reclaim something hurtful for someone else, and at the end of the day you’re talking about strangers.
Oh, darling, that's TERF talk. Literally.
Serving Charisma, Uniqueness, Nerve, and Talent isn't just a cute new phrase, it's a phrase that's been used the drag and transfeminine community for decades. To claim it's sexist and degrading it to operate under the TERF assumption that transfeminine people don't possess real femininity and don't experience real misogyny. If I'm guilty of anything when I use it, it's cultural appropriation.
Cunt isn't just about hyper-femininity, it's about an attitude that demands attention. If it were just about looks and being feminine, Kate Middleton would be the cunt queen of the century, and the only truly cunty thing she's ever done is disappear off the face of the earth.
Learn some queer history. Experience some queer culture. You'll enjoy it, I promise.

Funny what a little bit of Holocaust denialism will get you trending with.

Well, the washing machine pretty much made protective clothing unnecessary

The fun thing about chemises is they're pretty basic and they tend to stay pretty much the same throughout history, until something major comes along to change everything.

About poor things, can I just add: for a movie supposedly so keen to show how oblivious its protagonist is about social norms & expectations imposed on women, there sure was an absence of body hair. Particularly for a semi-period piece.
LOL yes I thought the same thing. She has the mind of a toddler but she makes sure to wax her legs & pits.

Shift
1835
The Victoria & Albert Museum
"This ensemble illustrates the items of underwear that women wore in the 1830s. The shift had been an essential element of underwear for centuries and remained so in the 19th century. At that time it was more politely referred to by its French name, chemise. When the sheer fabrics and rather clinging styles of Neo-classical dress became fashionable in the 1790s, drawers were introduced into the female wardrobe for the sake of modesty. They continued to be worn when 19th century dresses evolved into more substantial styles. The corset is lightly boned and reinforced with cording. There is a long narrow pocket in the front for the busk, a wide piece of wood or ivory, which kept the corset stiff and flat in front."

Watched "Poor Things" and it was... okay. Very male gaze-y.
Why is it when male directors make complex stories about women its always about our sex lives?
Emma Stone's performance was *fine* but nowhere near the atomic bombs that Lily Gladstone and Sandra Hüller delivered.
The costuming and set design were beautiful but they weren't as good as Barbie, I'm sorry.

Do you have any chemises (or other undergarments) from the mid-late 1830s/early 1840s? Searching "chemise" here mostly brings up a la reines. Thanks 💕
Sure thing, lemme look!
