It really bugs me when actresses complain about corsets. To do their job, to act, the have to research as well as learning their script. They do research into the way people talk, how they do their day to day things, how they generally lived...and it never comes up that corsets were not breath traps?? I don't think so...and if they are fitted well before they film....once it's on for the film then why wouldn't they say anything until after? That just makes the costume makers look bad. I have a feeling they liked the way it looked in the mirror for a few minutes, said it was good and then when they had to be in it for 12 hours on set THEN they had a problem with it. I literally slept in a corset and had no problem. It really bugs me.
I actually....have a bag of my own hair. I will **SO** insist that my friends wear some of my hair they'll probably do it voluntarily lol that and it's pretty clean and I have fabulous hair so
Most criticism of this video in the comments is missing the point. She's not saying that men's fashion before was "actually feminine", obviously it was considered masculine at the time. Rather she's talking about the fact that this idea of 'manly man' that people like Owens cite is based on a very time-specific and space-specific idea of pants as masculine and skirts as feminine. The changes in gendered fashion throughout history make it very clear there is no natural femininity or masculinity of any specific clothing features. Also people like Owens cite a 'past' that is blurry an non-specific. Look at the vague phrasing of 'Bring *back* manly men'. What era is she talking about, where men were apparently all perfectly conforming to her idea of masculine?
I'm lrish and fairly pale so l burn quite easily. So when l lived in Spain after 3 years l noticed my skin was turning a kind of goldy colour and l thought 'great, l'm getting a tan at last' until my stomach started to hurt. Cut a long story short turned out l had gallstones and my golden tan was a symptom of liver infection.
I just wanted to point out your comment about equality and people of color in the Regency Era: In fact it was more common than a lot of people think to see black, brown (more specifically, biracial) people in European high society. Queen Charlotte being black is inspired by theories that she in real life was not entirely white herself. Of course there was *massive* racism and very little people of color in these positions comparing to white people, but they were still there, specially in the Arts world. There were plenty of black writers and composers throughout Modern Age Europe.
Usually in the comments people are mad about altering the dress so much and they get reeeeeally mad when the girl doesn't chose the remade dress so it was all for nothing. Like if you don't want to wear the dress, tell mum that one of her grandchildren could wear it. Don't destroy the dress!
I was born in 1953. I started my period at age 12. Yep...I worn a belt from age 12 to age...16? Tampons and pads came out and I love the pads. When I started using tampons my Mom was so concerned....”how can you shove that up you”? ...”I remember says “because I feel free Mom!”.....it was a life changer for me, especially when wearing bikinis. My Mom was wonderful and always supportive of me.
You forgot the person who keeps coming too close to the camera to the point where you have a pretty great view of their nostrils throughout the conversation
I love the part about how we , in the 20th/21st century love to feel superior about all of our technological advances. I highly suspect I would find some sort of forestry a lot more comfortable than a bra. Or maybe I just need to get decent bras. ~Heather~
