What it costs to be well dressed back in 1926?

Short answer: A LOT.

Long answer: check the pages above and know the details. And if you're like me, your lack of white gloves and lapel flowers.

Also, what better pair to illustrate the perfectly dressed other than Clara Bow and Ramón Novarro? Ok, OK, OK, I prefer Coleen Moore over Clara Bow BUT Ramón Novarro is PERFECT.

A natural bacterial pathogen of C. elegans uses a small #RNA to induce transgenerational inheritance of learned avoidance

by Titas Sengupta, Jonathan St. Ange, Rachel Kaletsky, Rebecca S. Moore, Renee J. Seto, Jacob Marogi, Cameron Myhrvold, Zemer Gitai, Coleen T. Murphy C. elegans can learn to avoid pathogenic bacteria through several mechanisms, including bacterial small #RNA-induced learned avoidance behavior, which can be inherited transgenerationally. Previously, we discovered that a small #RNA from a clinical isolate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, PA14, induces learned avoidance and transgenerational inheritance of that avoidance in C. elegans. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an important human pathogen, and there are other Pseudomonads in C. elegans’ natural habitat, but it is unclear whether C. elegans ever encounters PA14-like bacteria in the wild. Thus, it is not known if small #RNAs from bacteria found in C. elegans’ natural habitat can also regulate host behavior and produce heritable behavioral effects. Here we screened a set of wild habitat bacteria, and found that a pathogenic Pseudomonas vranovensis strain isolated from the C. elegans microbiota, GRb0427, regulates worm behavior: worms learn to avoid this pathogenic bacterium following exposure, and this learned avoidance is inherited for four generations. The learned response is entirely mediated by bacterially-produced small #RNAs, which induce avoidance and transgenerational inheritance, providing further support that such mechanisms of learning and inheritance exist in the wild. We identified Pv1, a small #RNA expressed in P. vranovensis, that has a 16-nucleotide match to an exon of the C. elegans gene maco-1. Pv1 is both necessary and sufficient to induce learned avoidance of Grb0427. However, Pv1 also results in avoidance of a beneficial microbiome strain, P. mendocina. Our findings suggest that bacterial small #RNA-mediated regulation of host behavior and its transgenerational inheritance may be functional in C. elegans’ natural environment, and that this potentially maladaptive response may favor reversal of the transgenerational memory after a few generations. Our data also suggest that different bacterial small #RNA-mediated regulation systems evolved independently, but define shared molecular features of bacterial small #RNAs that produce transgenerationally-inherited effects. https://journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/article?id=10.1371%2Fjournal.pgen.1011178&utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=tumblr

Howard Hawks’ early career Colleen Moore as Doreen O'Sullivan in Dinty (1920).  Colleen was born in Port Huron, Michigan and had 64 acting credits in her career. In an early case of Hollywood nepotism, Colleen’s uncle Walter worked with DW Griffith on Birth of a Nation and Intolerance, helping DW make them more acceptable to the censors of the day.  She was often cast in westerns opposite Tom Mix, with her career defining role as flapper Patricia Fentriss in Flaming Youth (1923).  By 1927 she was the top female box office star of the day, investing wisely and retiring quite wealthy in 1934

I need to gush about Honor Bound for a bit, I apologize for how long this might get, but I figured it can’t be too wrong to show gratitude for something you hold dear! I found Honor Bound through the “Bleeding through the Bandages” chapter in book 4. I got into whump around that time, mainly as a coping mechanism for my own pain, and I saw that chapter pop up on my dashboard and I didn’t really consider it was part of a bigger story and I needed a distraction so I was like, might as well. And then it ended up being the best depiction of what I was feeling that I’ve ever read; not just the pain, but the frustration, and the exhaustion, and the mind-numbing boredom shown in other chapters too. I read the previous chapters of book 4 and then decided I wanted Context and also More Sam and then I read the first three books in two days. And then I reread them all in one day because I needed to reprocess the journey that was. And then I reread all of them again with book 4 when it finished, and then religiously followed book 5 through the worst time I’ve ever had, and reread the previous books multiple times as 5 was updating as well. Needless to say it quickly became my comfort series, and on multiple occasions waiting for a new chapters was one of those little joys that kept me going. I am so, so thankful I found it when I did. The Honor Bound family is like no other found family, at least to me. All of them are such complex individuals, but their interpersonal relationships are just so deep and meaningful and each is so incredibly unique, I could honestly write essays upon essays analyzing each one. And the way you connect everything and weave tropes into the overarching plot is just Insane, it’s truly like you’re… retelling a story that actually happened, you know? Like these are real people and real stories. Because I can’t com prehend how you come up with some of this stuff. And there are so, so many “cinematic” moments that are just. So raw and hard-hitting and just stay with you. Big and small moments alike. The Ryan reveal, Joseph Stormbeck’s death (best death scene ever by the way?? I’ve told everyone I know about it when I read it I was absolutely in Awe. Never recovering from that), every moment between Sam and Isaac (I also have a sibling who I’m not technically related to by blood but would like, probably die for, so I just really appreciated everything about them and we need more stories like theirs) (and also every time Sam called Isaac out. Good for them), Sam talking Gavin through his caning holy shit that was a religious moment, Gray’s slowburn adoption of Gavin and when Gavin decided he wanted to be a Uriah (and how his initial thought to getting asked what he wants to be called was “Moore”. And then he was like “Well fuck.” Love that dumbass), just every single thing Finn ever did for the family, Finn and Ellis and Gavin’s monologue about giving Finn a concussion (!! chills!!) and their reunion after Coleen, Vera and Tori and the Work Song scene??, Vera and Tori lowkey adopting Edrissa and Edrissa’s character development and her rants about pretty things and her and Sam and Zachariah’s adorable Young Love that made me so giddy right along with them and Sam and Zachariah’s meet-ugly (I mean it was kinda sweet), Gray being the parental figure we all needed, and Nata and Zelda and Nata helping Sam (and now Gavin!!) and Vera being so proud of her puppy. Also, Isaac and Gavin’s relationship…Insane. The most dramatic enemies to lovers and I love them for it. Invented love. It’s so crazy to read the beginning and see how far everyone’s come and think about everything that has happened from that one Whumptober prompt. It’s a lot but it also makes so, so much sense. I can’t imagine a version where Isaac and Gavin aren’t together in some way (and since I started out of order, when I realized it was a enemies to lovers I was really excited to see how all of that happened. Especially after reading the first book, because it (1/2)

(2/2) was like, how the hell are they gonna get from point A to point B. No way those are the same characters, how is this ever going to get justified? And then Gavin ended up having the best character development Ever, and I love that, I love that he had to work for it and that we as the readers have to work to love him too, because it pays off). And now the ending of book 5! Oh God. On that note, you’re so good at writing villains; making them human and also absolutely detestable and killing them off in the most satisfactory way tailored to them. There was never a point after a major arc where I thought “oh, I wish this had happened instead of x, I wish this had gone this way instead”. Also, to go back on the topic of pain (physical and mental both)! The way everyone copes with it differently, it’s the same thing but it’s unique to the person dealing with it and that’s so clear in your characters, and I also love, love how you made a point of showing how pain changes people because that’s something that I find so often gets ignored, whether voluntarily or not, even in whump. But, yeah, pain definitely changes people. And that’s not always bad, and it’s not always drastic, but it happens and it’s not a shameful thing. Everyone breaks. And HB made me believe that I was allowed to break, and that it’s still possible to live a life you think is worth it. And I won’t even get into how much it’d taught me about friendship and family and how it made me reflect on my own relationships with my loved ones (especially Isaac’s perspective, oh God). It’s just such a rewarding journey. That’s the best word to describe it, I think. And this latest chapter: “The sun shone brightly on the hood of the car, so bright Isaac almost had to close his eyes. The wind moved through the trees that swayed on either side of the lane. Isaac rolled his window down, and he could hear the birds calling to each other, and the sound of the wind rustling the long grasses that smelled so green. With each heartbeat, Gavin relaxed in his arms, his head falling against Isaac’s shoulder, his breaths becoming deep and slow again. A tear rolled down Isaac’s cheek, and he hid his smile against Gavin’s hair.” That image. It’s so vivid and visceral. It gives me the exact same feeling as spring after a long winter (which is…super fitting, actually). It’s that moment of pure contentedness when you realize it’d all been worth it. I don’t know, it just really, really struck me, and I’m so glad the book ended on that note. Despite knowing more hurt awaits, even that feels okay, because happiness will always find a way to seep through. And God, do they deserve that! It’s gonna be heartbreaking when their story ends, but I also know it’s gonna feel right. Like a peaceful retirement. Just, thank you for sharing this world with us, Athena. I hope you’re aware how meaningful this story is to so many of us. And being able to follow it in real-time and hear your inputs and chat about the characters and scream in the comments and reblogs is such a privilege (and being able to read it for free at all? Five books (six counting Vera)! For free! Though I will be getting books 1 and 2 soon hopefully actually). I cannot wait for book 6 and I Will be crying about book 5 until then (and long afterwards, most likely). And I wish you all the best in everything you take on next.<3

Wow, I... wow. I had to set down my phone and just sit in silence after I read this. I’m just... so humbled and amazed that you were able to connect so much with the story and the characters. I’m so glad that you saw something of yourself, and that you were able to find comfort in it. I find comfort in them, too, just knowing that the characters are there when I need to write them. 

It’s important to me for things to turn out ‘right.’ That’s part of why I write whump: the bad guys can be defeated, the good guys emerge safe, and love prevails. Writing Isaac and Gavin’s love story was absolutely the biggest surprise for me, it really did feel like I was the last to know. But I treasure them both so much and I love writing them. The family is so fun to explore, with each relationship being so different from the other. I’ve poured so much of myself into this story and into every single one of the characters. 

Book 6 is going to be such a challenge. It’s the last book in the series, and the one that’ll (hopefully) tie everything together. I’m giving myself a little break, but I’m also a little scared to start it because once I start it, then each chapter will be closer to the end, and then it’ll be over. I have a few more things in store for the family but at the end, I hope they’re safe, happy, and together. These characters mean more to me than I can say and I’m so happy I’ll have you with me along the way.

Princess Pastiche: Tiana DELUXE Edition — Part 1

Hello and long time, no post! At long last we reach Tiana, and I am excited because she is another of my favorite princesses and very near and dear to me because her film both rekindled my passion for animation and was the impetus that set me on my current course of fashion history study.

The reason this is a Deluxe Edition of Princess Pastiche is because I am not going to analyze the influence of the styles (for the most part) but rather do a little editorializing of my own about their historical accuracy. Out of all the princesses, Tiana has the most wardrobe changes, totaling 8 in all: I am going to cover her yellow waitress dress, white dream-sequence gown, the blue ballgown she borrows from Lottie, her iconic water lily ballgown, and the epilogue dress, in addition to addressing her hair. I know that’s a lot but I am insane and have literally been studying Tia’s wardrobe for 10 years, so! What I will do is show you a screenshot of how each outfit looked in the film and then show you what it could have looked like if Disney had chosen to be historically accurate. I am really looking forward to this and dearly hope you like this series, because the 1920s is one of my favorite decades of fashion thanks specifically to this film and there are truly so many amazing pieces that came from this decade that I want to share with you.

So without further ado, let’s go!

Let’s start from the start with the yellow waitress outfit.

The most glaring deviation this dress has from real 20’s fashion — and this is true of all of Tia’s looks — is the silhouette. The 1920’s silhouette was straight up and down and not fitted to the waist as in the garment above. This is in keeping with the Jazz age’s love of Art Deco, which played with geometric shapes, both complimentary and contrasting.

What did a waitress really wear in the 20s, then?

Portrait of waitress from the Lion’s Tea Room. This is a little more formal that what Tiana would have worn in a working-man’s diner, but I wanted you to get an idea of what a full uniform would really look like. As you can see, it is very like a maid’s outfit, complete with apron and cap worn low on the forehead in true 1920s style. The tailoring on this dress does not hug the waist but falls loosely to allow that streamlined silhouette.

Alright then, let’s translate this to Tiana:

Here’s a lovely yellow day dress I found that includes a collar and cuffs in white. Remove the frills, add an apron, and it would be perfect!

As a busy waitress, Tia may even have worn a belt to carry change, like so:

A promotional image of Coleen Moore from the film Her Wild Oat (1927).

[EDIT] That being said, I found the 1928 fashion plate below and really became enamored of the dress second from the left:

I like it better because of the small details like the ribbon, the pleating, the accents on the hips to emphasize a drop-waist, and the decoration at the bust. Plus it has a pointed collar like Tiana’s real dress does. So I drew her in her first revised outfit!

Tada! I was really pleased with this one :) This is the pose I’ll be using for the rest of her wardrobe throughout this series as well.

We’re going to stop here for Part 1 because this post is already long but rest assured there will be several installments of Tia to come!

Thanks for reading 🐸

Famous first words: how celebrities made their way on to children's bookshelves

What do David Walliams, Lil Nas X, Ricky Gervais, Dermot O’Leary, Geri Halliwell, Bruce Springsteen, Miranda Hart, Greg James, Chris Hoy, Frank Lampard, Clare Balding, Konnie Huq, Marie Kondo, Paul McCartney, Julian Clary, Whoopi Goldberg, Ben Fogle, Tom Fletcher, Julianne Moore, Lupita Nyong’o, Sandi Toksvig, Natalie Portman, Spike Lee, Fearne Cotton, Russell Brand, Pharrell Williams, David Baddiel, Simon Cowell, Danny Baker, Prince Charles, Coleen Rooney, Madonna, LeBron James, Lorraine Kelly, Ben Miller, Sarah Ferguson, Adrian Edmondson, Jamie Lee Curtis and Keith Richards have in common?

They are all children’s authors. And celebrities. Which makes them, depending on who you speak to, either the saviours of publishing or proof of its decline. And of the many celebrities who have tried their luck in children’s books, Walliams is the giant. Since his 2008 debut, The Boy in the Dress, he has sold more than 40m books and racked up more than 180 weeks at No 1 in the children’s charts; a feat even JK Rowling has never achieved. He alone accounted for 14.4% of HarperCollins’ £133m revenue last year, and singlehandedly sold a third of the top 50 children’s books of the year: 2.4m copies from 11 books, compared to 4.7m between the rest.
