Threads of Power: Lace from the Textilmuseum St. Gallen

Now showing at the Bard Graduate Center Gallery until January 1, 2023, is this show of lace from the 16th century through the inventions of machine lace and synthetic fiber lace up to today.

This is how the curators describe their purpose: “Two contrasting perspectives inform this exhibition’s title. In the first, lace is an exalted handmade commodity signifying the wealth, taste, and prestige of its wearers—men and women at the pinnacle of the European social hierarchy from the sixteenth century onward. In the second, lace shows us the unequal balance of power between those who design, sell, and wear lace and the lacemakers themselves.” You see here a photo from 1920 from Paris of a lace skirt, just one of the example of lace in fashion

They also have put online a virtual show for those of use who cannot get to New York City.  For that and for tickets to the show, go here: https://exhibitions.bgc.bard.edu/threadsofpower/

you say machete has to be closeted then why's he always wearing them little heels

Maybe he thinks he's a tiny bit nicer looking in them.

#no in fact he's just a little ahead of the curve let me try to explain #again I'm not a historian I'm just sharing what I've read I might be misremembering stuff so don't quote me on this #high heels became extremely fashionable in the early 1600's probably just a few decades after Machete's time #and they were originally worn by men #because they were inspired by Persian riding boots #if your shoes had heels you'd have easier time keeping your feet in the stirrups (think of cowboy boots) #Europeans saw them thought they looked snazzy and they became wildly popular in noble circles fairly quickly #for some hundred years or so high heels were the epitome of class wealth power and status and they were essentially genderless #remember that concepts of masculinity and femininity are fluid and change over time #things that were seen as manly a few centuries ago may seem downright effeminate to a modern viewer #it's all matter of perspective neither is objectively more correct than the other #they started to separate into men's heels and women's heels around mid 1700's iirc but the changes weren't massive even then #and only truly went out of vogue when the French Revolution hit in 1789 #and people all across the continent were suddenly put off by everything that reminded them #of the frivolousness and extravagance of royalty and aristicracy #so in his canon timeline I don't think people are looking at him and going “hmmm that's pretty gay” #because heels hadn't become gendered yet #maybe he likes how they accentuate his already tiny paws and make his legs look even longer than they are #he's interested in fashion or at least likes to dress nicely in high quality garments #he tries very hard to look his best despite never really feeling comfortable in his skin #he was a real shrimp as a kid and even though he eventually grew up to be a beanpole he might still find the extra height appealing #no one's going to look down on him ever again #I admit the way I draw them is a lot more modern than the true historical style at the time but not outrageously so #artistic freedom and all that in the end I'm not aiming for 100% accuracy #modern au Machete has no excuses though he's just a little bit fruity #if the guy feels empowered by wearing little clip cloppers let him #answered #anonymous #Machete

A little detail I appreciate about Pentiment are the head coverings. They can actually tell you little things about the characters. First off, the doffing of caps indoors is a great touch. Just like in period, most womens' heads are covered once they're married. You see that with Eva Gertneryn. She wears her hair uncovered for most of Act I, except at the end where she's seen with Otto in the town square, wearing a kerchief and straw hat. This might symbolize that she's publicly accepted Otto's courtship and she's off the 'market'. For Acts II and III, her hair is covered. Pre-modern, a lot of feminine head coverings were as much for practicality as social modesty. I love the variety in-game (especially Hedwig's turban). Magdalene's not married, but she wears a wrapped cloth like a headband to keep her voluminous hair (inherited from her Mom, who wore hers the same way) out of the way as she works. They also help keep hair clean, which is helpful in a world where submerged baths are uncommon. Magdalene is clearly of a higher social status than some of the peasant girls in her age group if she has the time to comb her hair multiple times a day to keep it looking presentable.

I like that Else Mülleryn actually UNCOVERS her hair as time progresses. In Act III you can see it out in a braid, which might allude to her renewed sense of confidence and vitality post-Lenhardt (her clothing also becomes a lot more casual-looking, ideal for chasing grandkids). Speaking of widows, I have a feeling Ottilia never covered her hair, even when her husband was kicking. Because fuck supposed Christian modesty norms.

Harquebusier Armour from England dated to about 1680 on display at the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in Glasgow, Scotland

During the 17th century harquebusier cavalry were some of the most common in European armies. They were named after the carbine musket they used, the "harquebus" a shorter musket than the ones used by infantry. By 1680 though the Royal Scottish and English armies (later unified as the British Army) were converting these units in regiments of dragoons, mounted infantry who could also charge as cavalry. The armour was phased out of British cavalry regiments by the time of the 18th century.

everyone else might already know this but i just think it’s funny that canonically The Cage takes place in 2254, so over 10 years before the start of Kirks first 5 year mission as captain. while SNW takes place around 2258-2260

(with the reveal of Carol Marcus being pregnant it would make most sense for it to be 2259 seeing as TSFS takes place in 2285, which would make David Marcus 25 at the time that movie takes place)

anyways, then the beginning of TOS is in 2265, and here’s a visual representation of why i find that funny (using spock as an example because he’s my favorite)

Spock and Pike circa 2254

Spock and Pike circa ~2258

and then back to Spock looking like this in TOS circa 2265 (Where No Man Has Gone Before was the second pilot but The Man Trap aired first so idk which takes place first in canon so here’s both)

also i know most people are probably just gonna ignore it but i would love to see an in-universe explanation for why the hair and clothing styles changed so much between snw and tos.

#star trek #star trek tos #spirk #tos spirk #tos spock #tos #spock #leonard nimoy #star trek snw #like in star wars there’s an in universe reason for the prequels being so much crisper than the original trilogy #i don’t know the whole explanation but star wars is my brothers special interest so i know some #i like the movies im just not all into it #anyways it’s be cool if the explanation was just that our modern 10-20 yr fashion cycle held up #like we had late 60s to mid 80s we’re all big hair and bright colors #then the late 80s to mid-late 90s were muted grungy styles #then back to bright and fun and show as much skin as you can in the 2000s #then the fashion cycle started to speed up because of fast fashion #so then the 2010s were more conservative business casual vibes (still bright colors tho) #and then late 2010s to early 2020s it’s been a way more rapid fashion cycle #anyways i’m done ranting about fashion now i think

Ed and the ineffable 60s gals

See the best and only accurate crowley playlist btw (can confirm i was their plants):

#love how you can tell what kind of gay a person is based on which year in the 60s they draw the ineffable wives in #didnt put them on the ed page on purpose #OR DID I #listen they were around in the blackbeard century it would be very funny if they encountered and did the spiderman point #theyre just actually wearing the same outfits #anygays yeah feel like zira would stick to late 50s early 60s modest/properwear given how they dress in 2023 #granted they are gayer than a tree of monkeys on nitrus oxide so that probably plays into their modern fashion choices #all of crowleys clothes are black btw i just do not want to color them in #song u see the lyrics to is rhiannanon by fleetwood mac should you be needing #ineffable wives #good omens #aziracrow #aziraphale #anthony j crowley #ineffable husbands #if u see crowly pray crying over there no u dont lol #ofmd #ofmd fanart #good omens fanart #my art #edward teach #Spotify #gentlebeard #blackbonnet

See I take lore way too seriously in this goofy ass game because why have I been doing research on 1900s fashion (focusing on 1910-1920) and cross-referencing the simwiki in order to makeover one sim.

Hours of reading now... for, you heard it, one sim.

Even better yet? The sim is Bonehilda. Lmfao.

#I've been wanting to share a version of her for a while because a lot of her makeovers - #usually utilize modern hair and fashion trends when they're making her 'alive' #and she would not have lived in modern times if she is related to Temperance and was in a relationship with #Guidry. Her adulthood before death would have taken place in the early 1900s #Does anyone else care this much? Probably not! But that is how my brain works lmfao #It's ridiculous! But this is who I am! 🤦‍♀️ #personal #bonehilda #ts4
