Denim Jacket
c.1850
United States
This jacket would have been worn over a woman’s work dress or blouse, most likely while she labored outdoors. Its construction mimics the fashionable hourglass silhouette of the period, with tucks that cinch at the wrists and natural waistline. Denim is typically thought of as a menswear textile, but it was also common in women’s workwear during the 19th century.

Dior + Balenciaga: The Kings of Couture and Their Legacies
Now at the Museum at FIT through November 6, 2022, you can see some sixty outfits created by Christian Dior who died far too young in 1957, and Cristóbal Balenciaga who was older but who lived until 1972. They are shown off in some of these images head to head, as it were, so that you can see each of them working on similar garments. So you see here: Dior on the left, Balenciaga on the right: two cream evening dresses, two silk taffeta cocktail dresses, and then two fuzzy coats. Sometimes you can see a clear way to distinguish them and sometimes not.
Go here for more information on visiting: https://www.fitnyc.edu/museum/exhibitions/dior-balenciaga.php

night at the museum puppet history au
okay so
Ryan is the new night guard at a children's history museum, it's full of funny puppets most roughly the size of what the new professor puppet is now (some smaller, some bigger)
and much like Larry, he very quickly finds out that these puppets come to life at night and i mean, yeah he freaks out, it's life-size puppets coming to life, that's not exactly non-creepy
Shane is the curator of the museum and likes to make jokes about how the puppets seem to have a life of their own sometimes (Ryan isn't sure if he knows about what happens at night in the museum but Shane absolutely knows)
The main point of the museum is that it hosts various educational talks about history appropriate for small kids right and Shane is just one of the many puppeteers (he usually controls the Professor) but once Ryan makes friends with the puppets, the Professor and co. like to teach Ryan about the more obscure and non-PG history that we get in the actual show (idk about you but cannibalism and death is not exactly kid friendly and the Professor has been dying to tell someone about all this history he knows)
that's all i have for now

The opening image gives you some idea of the range of 300 pairs of shoes that were worn, or not really worn, by different people to convey different identities that show up in this show.
Like wearing women wearing high heels to look glamorous, or people in athletic shoes hoping to look athletic without breaking a sweat, or crazy looking shoes that are actually impossible to walk in so they are not worn at all, just stared at.
The show runs through the end of 2022 and there is a book to accompany it if you can’t get there.

the majority of snowpoint's population is mobian HOWEVER i like the idea of there being at least one human running around up there too. idw's 100% mobian (+ eggman) world has never really vibed with me, plus i think sonic's interactions with human characters can be really interesting. i particularly liked his friendship with helen in sonic x...
i'm thinking maybe there's like, 1 human family in snowpoint (essentially the token humans lol). and maybe THEY'RE the ones who take care of snowpoint's historical museum? like, you'd expect the typical animal people to be the ones who hold all the location-based lore, but no. the storytellers for the town are actually humans
