Hi!! You seem to know much abt historical outfits, so you seem like the person who would know. If you don't mind me asking, what did swimwear in each period look like. The only one I know of is the pale yellow, long dress. But what else? Thank you.

Hi! I can't say I'm that all knowing but I can try my best summarize the history of swimwear if that interests you!

First things first, it used to just be nudity. Swimming and bathing were nearly one and the same and was simply done naked. Why get cloth wet when you could swim without the hassle? If anyone was wearing something to swim in it was most likely their undergarments, whichever kind they were wearing.

I think the long yellow-dress you are referring to is the late 17th century bathing garment for women. This canvas construction was for English ladies wanting to attend a public bath/spa. Why? Because England began writing laws about nude swimming.

So by the 18th century, more and more European countries decided citizens had to wear some sort of shift or garment to swim or bathe in. This demand for swimming garments eventually created a supply. The 'West' started wearing specialized swimming garments. These ensembles were somewhere between shifts, bloomers and drawers.

Victorian society is notorious for their... prudish behaviors. So the 19th century doubled down to the invention of the Bathing Suit. Which eventually lost it's sleeves, shortened and evolved into the modern swim suit.

Though honestly Wikipedia could tell you all this much better than I can. (；´∀｀)

Oblivion Records book cover concept as of April 2024, all elements subject to change.

The state of not forgetting.

It would be a severe understatement to say that Oblivion Records was a successful business. After all, we went belly up within four years of our first release. I’m not implying anything about the quality of our recordings, which, IMHO, are pretty damn good. But seriously, never was a company so aptly named. 

oblivion  [uh-bliv-ee-uhn]

noun    1. the state of being completely forgotten or unknown    2. state of forgetting

Digital technology for music distribution has kept Oblivion alive in the 21st century. There’s no way we could continue to make most of our music recordings available otherwise. The alternative would’ve been a shame, so we’ve kept up with the easiest ways to share it with listeners around the world.

But, as we get older it occurred to us that our children were too young, or not even born yet, when we had the company in the early 1970s, the era in which all our music was recorded. So, for their sake, we’ve started writing down the behind the scenes of actually getting things done at Oblivion.

Hopefully, sometime in 2024, we’ll be publishing “Never Was a Company So Aptly Named: The Blues + Jazz of Oblivion Records 1972-1975” (at least, that’s the working title; everything’s subject to change. Record jackets, LP labels, posters and illustrations of the (not much) ephemera we can get our hands on will be included. But, it’s the stories behind the records that will take up most of the 250+ pages.

Will it all be true? Hopefully, but memories fade, spindle and mutilate, so we’ll see.

The rise of Xi Jinping, explained

How Xi Jinping became China’s most powerful leader since Mao Zedong. Nov. 28, 2023

Xi Jinping, president of China and general secretary of the Chinese Communist Party since 2012, is one of the most powerful political figures in the world. By initiating an unprecedented third term as China’s leader in October 2022, Xi has signaled that he may plan to remain in power for life — making him the first Chinese leader since Mao Zedong to hold unchecked power over the People’s Republic of China.

But Xi’s connection to Mao goes deeper than a shared outlook that emphasizes unifying the party around a single leader. When Xi was just a young boy, his family — who had held elite party status thanks to his father’s pivotal role in Mao’s “Long March” in 1935 — was denounced during Mao’s Cultural Revolution, a chaotic decade of purges and persecution that saw even Mao’s closest allies removed from power. During this time, a teenaged Xi was forced to work at hard labor in the countryside outside of Beijing, and his father was imprisoned.

Xi’s subsequent rise after Mao died in 1976 was a methodical process in using his restored elite status as leverage to gain prominent party positions in rural provinces around China, culminating in his promotion to the all-powerful Politburo Standing Committee of the Chinese Communist Party in 2007.

After that, Xi pulled from Mao’s playbook: purging his political rivals and promoting those with whom he shared close personal ties. This process undid the work of Mao’s successor, Deng Xiaoping, to prevent the consolidation of power around a single leader in China.

By the time his third term began in October 2022, Xi had reshaped the party and Chinese military leadership to be fully packed with Xi loyalists. And even in the face of social upheaval surrounding his failed “zero Covid” policy, Xi has shown no sign of giving up any of the power he has consolidated since taking over as leader of the country."

The Joy of Plastic Easter Eggs

Easter is a time of celebration, renewal, and joy for many people around the world. It's a time when families come together, children eagerly anticipate Easter egg hunts and colorful decorations fill homes and churches. Among the most cherished symbols of Easter are plastic Easter eggs, which have brought joy to generations of children and adults alike. Let's explore the history, significance, and sheer joy associated with these delightful plastic eggs.

A Brief History:

The tradition of Easter egg decorating can be traced back centuries to various cultures, including the ancient Egyptians, Persians, and later, Christians in Eastern Europe. Eggs have long been a symbol of fertility, rebirth, and new beginnings, making them a fitting emblem for Easter, which celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

The use of eggs in Easter celebrations evolved over time, and by the 19th century, decorated eggs made from various materials, including wood, glass, and porcelain, became popular. However, it wasn't until the mid-20th century that plastic Easter eggs made their debut, revolutionizing the way people celebrate this holiday.

Lotte Hahm featured in the pages of a 1930 issue of trans magazine Das. 3 Geschlecht. The caption reads “This female transvestite is Lotte Hahm, director of the transvestite section of the women’s club Violetta.”

Hahm founded the Damenklub Violetta (Violetta Ladies’ Club) in 1926 and soon began organizing events such as dance parties, a parade of hats, and even a “cream puff eating contest” during which she performed her own musical comedy act, dyked out in a tuxedo. As time went on her organizing with Violetta would begin to center political action over social function, and grow to have local chapters in cities across Europe.

She would go on to form the Transvestitenvereinigung D`Eon (Transvestite Association) in 1929, comprised of roughly 60 ladies and gentlemen led by Hahm and aligned with the Bund für Menschenrecht (Association for Human Rights) — an organization for which she led their women’s group. The next year, in 1930, Hahm launched a new association: the Bund für Ideale Frauenfreundschaft (Association for the Ideal Friendship of Women) and promoted it in the ever popular Weimar lesbian magazine Die Freundin, saying:

“…not just dances and social events will bring you equality; you also must fight if you want respect and dignity. The eagerness to fight must fill your hearts and shine in your eyes. That is why you should organize yourselves in the BIF!”

I wanted to do some more book covers for my portfolio, so I made this one.

I want to thank @eyra for the beautiful story, I loved it. This one is for you✨💛

Here’s a little work in progress for this cover.

Ps: I’m working on Andromeda right now, I’ve had a busy week. Hang in there💛

Here are some of the pictures of the Minoan/Mycenaean look I did yesterday! Mind you, it's all very generalized since I haven't made any clothing studies from these time periods yet, so I had just grabbed random clothes and jewelry from my closet that I could at least pass off as the ~vibe~ . I went for a pretty simple interpretation of makeup back then and ended up not really putting a whole lot on my face before the decorative elements, just a very thin amount of white foundation, but even so I figured my skin is pretty pale as it is that if this were historical I probably would have just been fairly bare faced anyway in a similar fashion. I tried to stay pretty close to how makeup might be applied back then and not go too anachronistic, and if I did it was for photographic or artistic purposes (namely, light contouring on my nose not for any sort of like, modern feature minimization, but to make sure my own Greek ethnic features weren't flattened by lighting levels or camera perspective)

Overall this was a really fun exploration of historic culture! Seeing the finished makeup on myself kind of brought over this cultural euphoria for me, even though many things have changed since ancient Mediterranean civilizations, there's almost a feeling of sameness in exploring the history of your heritage and seeing someone who looks or feels like you in ancient art. (But also a brief little disclaimer: the Mediterranean has been an extremely diverse region for thousands of years! I'm just one way of looking and that absolutely isn't representative of all people of Greece, neither then nor now!) I want to explore more historical fashions within this realm, and next time try a more extreme version of the makeup, something that feels more on the ceremonial side than casual like this one.

rip to bruce but if i fumbled her i would literally kill myself

#wrote this caption before trying to figure out if the artist intended for this to be a qipao or not #settled on the fact that he did (the mandarin collar sealed it) and spent 2 hour reading a brief history of them #and terminology to try and make an accurate ID but my 'ohmygof she's so fucking hot' got QUICKLY replaced with anger #like in 1930 Shanghai there were so many designs that did feature more form fitting fabric & high side slits #theres so many general gorgeous designs with the elaborate pankous and embroidery and beading that you could of taken inspiration from #and you make it more or less a unitard. you go hm close enough just to sexualize her further #like yeah she's gorgeous my caption stands but the disrespect and disregard is so... you know. #anyways. messy little ramble over. if im bruce wayne im killing myself and also thepankou(.)com has really beginner friendly posts talking #about the history of them & different (general) region styles & the use of qipaos in different media and exhibits. also a GORGEOUS wardrobe #crypt's panels #talia al ghul
