US Vogue December 15, 1938
Revillon
Cape stole in sable-dyed marten, dark and luxuriously deep, which hangs to the hips at the back; the front is cut into two full stoles which are a modern revival of charm. the rounded tippet that your grandmother wore with such effect. This dark, shimmering fur is definitely on the formal side, for late afternoons or big nights out with your best jewelry.
Étole cape en martre teinte en zibeline, sombre et luxueusement profonde, qui pend jusqu'aux hanches à l'arrière ; le devant est découpé en deux étoles pleines qui sont une renaissance moderne du charme. la pélerine arrondi que portait votre grand-mère avec tant d'effet. Cette fourrure sombre et scintillante est définitivement du côté formel, pour les fins d'après-midi ou les grandes soirées avec vos plus beaux bijoux.

Evening jacket, 1937, by Elsa Schiaparelli
A fine and important Elsa Schiaparelli couture Zodiac jacket, the Astrology Collection, Winter, 1938-39, Paris. This is arguably one of the most beautiful of all Schiaparelli's creations with its glittering embroidery, shimmering star-shaped beads and rhinestones set against a midnight blue velvet background. Marlene Dietrich was photographed in her Beverly Hills residence in 1938 wearing the zodiac ensemble with matching dress. Schiap was fascinated by the night sky that she used to view as a child through her uncle's telescope - the renowned astronomer Giovanni Schiaparelli, director of the Brera Observatory in Milan. He inspired in her a lifelong fascination with the celestial realm. He commented that the moles on her cheeks reminded him of the Big Dipper which she adopted as her 'lucky star', incorporating it into printed fabrics, the fabric lining her salon, her own personal jewellery as well as on this magnificent jacket. Schiaparelli's press agent Hortense MacDonald stated that the Astrology collection was defined by Euclid's famous geometric treatise - 'Elements'.

hey btw if you're in the USA at 2:20 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Oct. 4, they're testing the emergency broadcast system. your phone is probably going to make a really loud noise, even if it's on silent. there's a backup date on the 11th if they need to postpone it.
if you're not in a safe situation and have an extra phone, you should turn that phone completely off beforehand.
additionally, if you're like me, and are easily startled; i recommend treating it like a party. have a countdown or something. be surrounded by your loved ones. take the actions you personally need to take to make yourself safe.
i have already seen mockery towards any person who feels nervous about this. for the record, it completely, completely valid to have "emergency broadcast sounds" be an anxiety trigger. do not let other people make fun of you for that. emergency sounds are legitimately engineered to make us take action; those of us with high levels of anxiety and/or neurodivergence are already pre-disposed to have a Bad Time. sometimes it is best to acknowledge that the situation will be triggering for some, and to prepare for that; rather than just saying "well that's stupid, it's just a test."
"loud scary sound time" isn't like, my favorite thing, but we can at least try to prevent some additional anxiety by preparing for it. maybe get yourself a cake? noise cancelling headphones? the new hozier album? whatever helps. love u, hope you're okay. we are gonna ride it out together.

Found this gorgeous 30s dress and I had to draw Starlight in it.
The color, silhouette, and the elegance... so perfect for her.

obsesseddddd with how u draw alastor and mimzy!! esp smth about how u draw mimzys eyes! she's so beautiful
Aww, thank you so much! I'm flattered ✨ This two live in my head rent-free, I wanna study their friendship under the microscope.
I really like Mimzy's design in the show, but in my interpretation I wanted to give her those "full of sadness" eyes that ladies had in 1920/30s, which also gave creepy stare-right into your soul-vibes in some situations (german expressionism is a great example of that attitude) 😁
