was looking up 50s fashion for writing reasons and i CANNOT get over the outfits these girls are rocking
- This is bobby soxer fashion that originated in the 1940s, not 50s. Specifically, this 2016 Tumblr post attributes this photo to Life magazine in 1947
- The style was not considered masculine in its time (for commenters remarking on crossdressing laws); pants had been mainstream women’s fashion since the 30s and especially during WWII due to women in factory work. This was an extremely popular style associated with fans of popular music performers like Frank Sinatra. It was a teenage style in particular; the 40s saw the number of girls attending secondary school rise substantially, as did the number of teens with disposable incomes.
It’s fascinating to me that people under 30 are looking at very trendy look today and seeing gender nonconformity. It says more about what we consider “feminine” clothing to be today (Revealing? Low necklines? Translucent? Form-fitting? Curve-enhancing?) than the image itself.
You can’t say the team doesn’t know what they’re talking about when they treat Buddie as married. 317 || 609
You can find my weekly meta posts, my Buddie gifs and more of my content on my blog. I’m not going anywhere, but I wanna wish everyone a pleasant hiatus!
THERE WAS ONLY ONE CHAIR because presumably, the queen doesn’t understand Eric’s fascination & servants keep away out of respect for him. So, there’s no use having chairs around since nobody hangs out with him here. The implication that he must’ve felt alone for years until, well, her. They’re twin souls. I’m gonna sob in the corner real quick.
AND
This should not be applauded, but that mofo knelt on the floor afternoon ‘till evening so she can sit (or not, she might be sitting on a box here) on the only comfortable seat in his library. like a fucking gentleman.
A prince on his knees, literally and figuratively. gddamn it, disney.
Here’s the full suit! It’s in Japan ofc haha. And not a fursuit! This person is just costuming as a human-sized cat. Not anthro or related to the furry fandom. Kid me would have cried tears of joy if I saw this irl. Cat but big. Very Beatrice Potter.
ok but seriously this is what I thought fursuits were supposed to look like before I saw a fursuit for the first time
Okay but the skill needed to properly handle the touch screen and the money while in that is impressive. Registers can be a pain even with full hand use sometimes.
