The elderly woman Barbie shares a smile with is not Barbara Handler, but in fact costume designer, Ann Roth.
Ann Roth has had a long career as the costume designer for a wide range of movies, including one of my favorites, Mamma Mia!

Costume designers are stepping up their decades-long fight for pay equity and gender equity.
On Thursday, Hollywood costume designers launched Pay Equity Now, a movement designed to spotlight longstanding pay discrepancies. Emmy award-winner Ariyela Wald-Cohain (“Waitress”) explains, “Costume design has historically been viewed as ‘women’s work’ and due to the lack of understanding of our job, there has been a lack of respect for our craft.”
With IATSE Basic Agreement negotiations set to start in March, the guild is pushing forward with a call to action. Among the four-step plan, costume designers should ask their agents to demand the same pay as department heads such as production designers or directors of cinematography, and to share their salaries and terms of their contracts with costume designers who are working for the same studios.

Damn you, Barbie and Poor Things, for dividing my feelings on which picture should win Best Costume Design and Best Production Design. I was all in on Barbie, but today I saw Poor Things and damn.
They fightin' for that Oscar hard.

It makes me feel a bit weird when people complain about costume design in movies or shows (for like non-human individuals) looking “bad” or “weird” because like…costume people are actually really underpaid compared to their peers. They’re probably overworked as well. And we’ve seen this with animators and special effects artists as well, not to mention the WGA strike that is currently going on. There’s a good chance that costume designers and makeup/prosthetic artists are facing the same issues. I feel like we should cut them a little slack??

I love the season one extras with the lil bbs at boot camp and watching the making of the finale and them all in plain clothes making their dorky jokes and yelling “BANG” for the fake gunshots during rehearsal and the costumes segment is just so cool and interesting <3 sigh

I only watch movies and TV shows so I can occasionally yell “goddamm it!” at costume designers and casting directors for doing such a good job.

Good Omens x Wild West
Jumped on the transcontinental railroad to play around with how our ineffable husbands would look in the wild west.
Fun facts
Crowley hates horses and horses hate him
Aziraphale is posing as a doctor
Crowley has two guns, but doesn't know how to use them (Aziraphale does, though.)
Aziraphale has to keep miracling away his sunburns because he always forgets his hat (or loses it)
Edit because this is more important to me than it should be lol: not an AU! They're still Angel and Demon, it's merely canon-divergent I would say.
