Ballgowns

Btitish Glamour since 1950

Oriole Cullen, Sonnet Stanfill   Photographs by David Hughes

Victoria & Albert Pubns, London 2013, 112 pages, 24.77 x 8.58 cm,   ISBN  9781100561691

This unique and groundbreaking book presents dynamic photographs by David Hughes of 60 years of British ballgowns and includes designs by Alexander McQueen, Bellville Sassoon, Erdem, Gareth Pugh, Stella McCartney, and Zandra Rhodes. Britain’s traditional season of debutante parties, private balls, weddings, and charity events has long provided fashion designers with opportunities to create elaborate, tour-de-force eveningwear; in more recent years, the ballroom has been replaced by the red carpet. Though the context has changed, the ballgown remains a staple in many designers’ collections and continues to serve as an expression of status, protocol, and taste, while simultaneously embodying elements of drama and fantasy.

This one gets its own post, too - s/o to @leafwhirlwind, you're a real one (and no, I don't mind being called bestie, lmao)

It's always going to irk me that the first Black Disney princess was given the coolest setting for design work and she's been paid nothing but dust 😔 a frog for most of her own movie, they put her in a Cinderella style 1950s cupcake ballgown, and... whatever the hell that is in Mirrorverse...

So, obviously, needed to rectify at least one of those atrocities 😤

Cinderswift (Unexpected Musical) — PattyCake Productions music video

When the PattyCake fellas set out to retell the classic rags-to-riches fairy tale of Cinderella, they turned to the music of Taylor Swift. Her songs' themes of overcoming detractors and self-doubt, learning from painful situations, and striving for a better life were a perfect fit for the story's narrative.

Details:

title: Unexpected Musicals – Cinderswift

performers: Leah Lowman (Cinderella); Matthew "Bucky" Buckner (Prince Charming / additional vocals); Andrea Stack (Lady Tremaine / additional vocals); Olivia Adkins (Anastasia Tremaine); Melanie Stringer (Drizella Tremaine); Rachel Copeland (fairy godmother); Michael Navarro (royal crier / coachman); Hannah Laird, Hannah Juliano, Layne Stein, & Tony Wakim (additional vocals)

original songs / performer: all songs by Taylor Swift — "Mean"; [0:32] "Style"; [0:55] "Shake It Off"; [1:30] "Bad Blood", feat. Kendrick Lamar; [1:50] "22"; [2:47] "Wildest Dreams"; [3:40] "I Knew You Were Trouble"; [3:55] "Love Story"

written by: "Mean" by Taylor Swift; "Style" by Taylor Swift, Max Martin, Karl "Shellback" Schuster, & Ali Payami; "Shake It Off" by Taylor Swift, Max Martin, & Karl "Shellback" Schuster; "Bad Blood" by Taylor Swift, Max Martin, Karl "Shellback" Schuster, & Kendrick Lamar; "22" by Taylor Swift, Max Martin, & Karl "Shellback" Schuster; "Wildest Dreams" by Taylor Swift, Max Martin, & Karl "Shellback" Schuster; "I Knew You Were Trouble" by Taylor Swift, Max Martin, & Karl "Shellback" Schuster; "Love Story" by Taylor Swift

arranged by: Layne Stein & Tony Wakim

release date: 14 January 2017

My favorite bits:

Leah singing ♫ "You can take me do-o-own" ♫ on a descending run as she crouches to reach the tea set

Andrea's absolute poise and stillness as Lady Tremaine

the tiny mouse chorus 🐁 (Ah, so those are the additional vocals.)

all the ladies' 90s-tastic ballgowns

those crunchy minor chords during "Bad Blood"

Rachel's bouncy, trilling vibratto throughout "22"

combining the 1950 animated dance sequence with some of the Regency-era steps from Taylor's "Love Story" video during "Wildest Dreams"

transforming "I Knew You Were Trouble" from a rueful reflection into a sinister threat

Bucky and Leah's lovely harmonies in the final song

Trivia:

The opening dedication "For Dori" refers to Layne's youngest daughter, Doris, who was about six months old at the time of this video's publication.

This video was filmed at the Luxemore Grande Estate in Winter Park, which is primarily used for weddings and other large events. The venue coordination was handled by Jaimz Dillman, who had played Sarah Sanderson in PattyCake's "Hocus Heathens" Halloween video, and has continued to feature in their projects.

Leah has reprised her role as Cinderella in several episodes of PattyCake's "Princess Academy" series, as well as their "Disney Girls Like You" video in 2019, and their original piece "If the Shoe Fits" in 2023.

According to Bucky, there were many outtakes during the dance sequence because "the boots were big on me and that dress was ginormous".

The guys had known Bucky for many years prior to casting him in this project. He'd played the Wolfman opposite Tony's Dracula in the "Beetlejuice Revue" show at Universal Studios, and joined 4:2:Five as their new baritone when Layne switched over to vocal percussion in 2004.

A fan combined the audio from this project with footage from the 1950 Disney animated film to create a fantastic fanvid.

Layne and Tony had previously sung a portion of "Bad Blood" in VoicePlay's "Aca Top 10 — Summer Hits 2015" countdown.

"I Knew You Were Trouble" was the foundation for VoicePlay's 2013 "Trouble" mashup music video with Rachel Potter, which led to them competing on The Sing-Off.

The dancers in the original "Shake It Off" music video include several of their fellow reality show veterans from So You Think You Can Dance — Phillip "PacMan" Chbeeb (s.5), Du-Shaunt "Fik-Shun" Stegall (s.10 winner), Jonathan "Legacy" Perez (s.6), & Melissa Sandvig (s.5).

I listened to AJR’s inertia and daydreamed about the chorus being sung by an immortal detailing the loneliness and loss of her eternal life with the song.

Like she’s dressed in perfectly modern clothes then with the first line “I’m an object in motion” she takes the hand of a man dressed in Victoria clothes and Barbie sparkles transform her clothes into a Victorian ballgown and she and the man start dancing.

When she reaches the “I’ve lost all emotion part” he tosses her into a twirl and when she lands she’s dressed as a ballerina and dancing with other ballerinas.

“My two legs are broken, but look at me dance” she’s in some idk 1950s clothes protesting with a bunch of other girls.

“An object in motion, don’t ask where I’m going” she’s a teacher surrounded by her pupils

All these scenes exist with her being the only similarity in all these eras, then with the “Cause where I am going is right where I am”, the man she danced with, her fellow ballerinas, the women she protested with, and her pupils burst into light and she watches them fade away

OK, after the kind of day we have endured in the UK, it is time to roll out the big guns for just a moment of guilt free visual pleasure. Charles James created this emerald ballgown in the 1950s, silken engineering of the first order. Deep breath everyone. The Met.

Behind the Scenes: The Top Animated Video Production Fails and Bloopers

Everyone makes mistakes, and for our small Squideo squad it’s reassuring to know they even happen at the largest animation companies. From DreamWorks to Disney, we’re breaking down the ten most obvious on-screen fails and bloopers in animated films.

Read on to find out who made the cut and let us know if we’ve missed something!

01. The Lion King

The protagonist of this 1994 Walt Disney Studios classic, Simba, grows from a cub to an adult during the course of The Lion King. Changes to his appearance were expected, but there were some minor details that clearly slipped by the producers. Sometimes Simba has three whiskers on either side, sometimes four, occasionally five, and one time six.

The film has some other continuity errors, but this one is definitely the cutest to look at.

02. Shrek

The first film to win the Academy Award for Best Animated Film, the Shrek franchise started in 2001 and helped DreamWorks Animation became a serious rival to Pixar and the Walt Disney Animation Studio. Spawning three sequels and two spin-off films, the most recent of which came out in 2022, there’s no sign of the Shrek franchise slowing down either.

Like all studios who have a vast body of work behind them, there’s bound to be the odd blooper and Shrek is no exception. In one scene, Shrek creates a warning sign on a piece of wood which the animators failed to flip when looking at it from behind.

03. Toy Story 2

The sequel to the wildly popular Toy Story came out in 1999 and created more heartbreak when it separated Woody from his beloved owner Andy. Taken in by a toy repairer who sees value in Woody, the name of his owner is erased from existence in a massively satisfying montage which has since been adopted by the ASMR community.

With a sweep of a brush, Andy’s name is painted over. Woody soon rubs away the paint, however the name is suddenly upside down with the A next to the heel instead of at the toe.

04. Beauty and the Beast

No one fights like Gaston, douses light like Gaston, or moves furniture as fast as Gaston. During this musical number in 1991’s Beauty and the Beast, a number of hunting trophies are littered about to show Gaston’s skill – and cruelty. The most prominent is a vast bear rug, which teleports from a cosy spot by the fire to the feet of Gaston’s throne in a matter of moments.

It's a pity Gaston fell to his death (in classic Disney villain fashion), the Prince could have hired him as a decorator.

05. Spirited Away

Studio Ghibli’s 2001 classic Spirited Away became the first hand-drawn and non-English speaking animated film to win the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. This is a technically beautiful film and a Japanese classic, despite the occasional continuity error. When meeting No-Face, Chihiro is surrounded by ropes and brooms – some of which disappear only to reappear in a different frame.

It's such a beautiful sequence, however, that viewers are unlikely to catch that, or the colour-changing cushions, until they’re on their fifth or so rewatch.

06. Cinderella

While Disney’s second princess is most recognised in her ballgown, this 1950 adaptation of the fairy tale also includes a beautiful wedding dress. A beautiful wedding dress with long sleeves. A beautiful wedding dress without a choker necklace. The happy couple leave the chapel, with Cinderella losing one of her shoes in the process (typical).

A quick change must have happened, because only seconds after they board the carriage Cinderella is back in her ballgown – capped sleeves and choker necklace included – with only the veil and tiara remaining in place.

07. Sleeping Beauty

While we’re on Disney Princesses, Cinderella’s successor was Sleeping Beauty which came out in 1959. Influenced by European pre-Renaissance art, Disney wanted their newest fairy tale to look visually different from Cinderella. A lot of detail went into creating this film, which went into development in 1950.

Unfortunately the detail on Aurora’s tiara varies, typically appearing as a plain gold band except in the moments after her collapse from the curse when it is suddenly adorned with gemstones.

08. Monsters, Inc.

If you don’t know what a Code 2319 is, you’ve clearly never seen Pixar’s 2001 masterpiece Monsters, Inc.. Professional scarer, George Sanderson visits an assignment and comes back with more than memories. Coming into contact with a child’s sock triggers a massive alert and protagonists Sulley and Mike Wazowki watch as he is decontaminated – and de-furred.

Considering their aversion to humans, it seems unlikely George would have touched the sock so it must have been an animating error that led to it pointing in opposite directions between shots.

09. The Lego Batman Movie

Running Wayne Manor must keep Alfred busy, but it seems unlikely he’s moving around the portraits every other second. Unless the culprit is the ghost of Batman’s parents, it seems likely then that this blink-and-you’ll-miss-it error was the fault of the animators working on The Lego Batman Movie. When talking to a portrait of his dead parents, the pictures surrounding it change.

It was still a touching scene, and the 2017 film has an impressive 90% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

10. Aladdin

The animated version of the classic tale Aladdin features Rajah, the devoted and protective pet tiger of Princess Jasmine. Jasmine rebuffs her father, the Sultan’s, attempts to arrange her marriage and it seems that Rajah is on her side. He attacks Prince Achmed, presenting Jasmine with a shred from his underwear as a well-received gift.

When Prince Achmed storms out of the palace however, his trousers are ripped but not his underwear. A funny scene, nevertheless, and suitable for a PG-rated film.
