Early 18th (and late 17th) century fashions are so under-utilized in vampire media and I think it's a damn shame.

I don't actually think I've ever seen a single image of a vampire character in an early 18th century suit. Hardly any movies set in that era either, and hardly any historical costumers who do it. (Even my beloved gay pirate show set in 1717 takes nearly all of its 18th century looks from the second half of the century. Not enough appreciation for baroque fashion!!)

Yes I love late 18th century fashion as much as anyone, and 19th century formal suits are all very well and good, but if you want something that says old, dead, wealthy, and slightly dishevelled, then the 1690's-1730's are where it's at.

(Retrato del Virrey Alencastre Noroña y Silva, Duque de Linares, ca. 1711-1723.)

There was so much dark velvet, and so many little metallic buttons & buttonholes. Blood red linings were VERY fashionable in this era, no matter what the colour of the rest of the suit was.

(Johann Christoph Freiherr von Bartenstein by Martin van Meytens the Younger, 1730's.)

The slits on the front of the shirts are super low, they button only at the collar, and it's fashionable to leave most of the waistcoat unbuttoned so the shirt sticks out, as seen in the above portraits.

(Portrait of Anne Louis Goislard de Montsabert, Comte de Richbourg-le-Toureil, 1734.)

Waistcoats are very long, coats are very full, and the cuffs are huge. But the sleeves are on the shorter side to show off more of that shirt, and the ruffles if it has them! Creepy undead hands with long nails would sit so nicely under those ruffles.

(1720's-30's, LACMA)

Embroidery designs are huge and chunky and often full of metallic threads, and the brocade designs even bigger.

(1730's, V&A, metal and silk embroidery on silk satin.)

Sometimes they did this fun thing where the coat would have contrasting cuffs made from the same fabric as the waistcoat.

(Niklaus Sigmund Steiger by Johann Rudolf Huber, 1724.)

Tell me this look isn't positively made for vampires!

(Portrait of Jean-Baptiste de Roll-Montpellier, 1713.)

(Yeah I am cherry-picking mostly red and black examples for this post, and there are plenty of non-vampire-y looking images from this time, but you get the idea!)

And the wrappers (at-home robes) were also cut very large, and, if you could afford it, made with incredible brocades.

(Portrait of a nobleman by Giovanni Maria delle Piane, no date given but I'd guess maybe 1680's or 90's.)

(Circle of Giovanni Maria delle Piane, no date given but I'd guess very late 17th or very early 18th century.)

Now that looks like a child who's been stuck at the same age for a hundred years if I ever saw one!

I don't know as much about the women's fashion from this era, but they had many equally large and elabourate things.

(1730's, Museo del Traje.)

(Don't believe The Met's shitty dating, this is a robe volante from probably the 1720's.)

(Mantua, c. 1708, The Met. No idea why they had to be that specific when they get other things wrong by entire decades but ok.)

(Portrait of Duchess Colavit Piccolomini, 1690's.)

(Maria van Buttinga-van Berghuys by Hermannus Collenius, 1717.)

Sometimes they also had these cute little devil horn hair curls that came down on either side of the forehead.

(Viago in drag Portrait of a lady, Italian School, c. 1690.)

Enough suave Victorian vampires, I want to see Baroque ones! With huge wigs and brocade coat cuffs so big they go past the elbow!

208. To Mega Therion - Celtic Frost (Thrash/Death/Black Metal, 1985)

Art by Hans Rudolf Giger (1940-2014) : "Satan I"

For his participation in the movie "Alien" he won an Oscar for best visual effects in 1980.

Giger suffered from night terrors and his paintings are all, to some extent, inspired by his experiences with that particular sleep disorder. - he also claims to be only working at night.

#without a doubt one of the most famous cover artworks there are in metal history #metal #death metal #black metal #thrash metal #art #artwork #music #painting #heavy music #artist #cover art #heavy #hr giger #celtic frost #switzerland

"Immigrant Song" was written by Jimmy Page and Robert Plant during the band's European tour, which opened with a concert in Reykjavik. About the origins of his inspiration, Plant said the following:

There was nothing pompous about it. We really came from the "land of ice and snow". We were guests of the Icelandic government, as part of a cultural mission. We were invited to perform in Reykjavik, but the day before our arrival, all government employees of the country went on strike, which put the concert in danger of disruption.

The City University prepared a concert hall for our performance, it was phenomenal. The reaction of the audience was amazing, we had a lot of fun. "Immigrant Song" was written about this trip: it became the first track of the album, which was supposed to be radically different from the previous ones.

6 days after the performance in Reykjavik, Led Zeppelin performed the Immigrant Song for the first time on the stage of the Bat Festival.

The Immigrant Song was performed in the film "School of Rock" with Jack Black. Getting permission from Led Zeppelin to use it was not easy. Black videotaped himself singing in front of a huge crowd and begged the band to let him play their song in the film. It worked! The track is played in a scene where Black's character is driving in a car with his students, an Immigrant Song is playing on the radio, and he starts singing along.

In an interview included on the official DVD, Black says, "The moral of this story is that sometimes you have to put aside pride and beg."

Led Zeppelin opened all concerts with this song between 1970 and 1972.

Eddie Munson has a Megadeath patch on his vest but no visible Metallica swag, but he also learned master of puppets (by ear cause it's 1986) like a month after it came out and Megadeath only had one album out at the time (peace sells wouldn't come out til September) and I just so badly want to know how many fucking rants he went on about Mustaine leaving Metallica

#eddie munson #stranger things #metal history #like he has anthrax stuff but i dont know if he has any for slayer #amd we know he loves black sabbath but doesnt have any patches so probably its an issue of availability and being poor #but what a CHOICE for him tinhave a megadeath patch
