i think that people should start using “in poor taste” as a descriptor again given it is often the most applicable and clearest phrase when discoursing about media and analysis; sometimes a piece of art isn’t actually THE most problematic thing of all time is is. ​just in poor taste (not JUST in poor taste as a reductive take on potential harm but/and as in regardless of intent the impact is this was an offensive or stupid take/choice)

Did a big brave thing over the weekend and entered the daytime Afrovictorian ensemble in the Masquerade at Arisia

Guess what?

I won a Best in Show for both Workmanship and Presentation!

Hopefully they'll upload the professional photos soon but now I have to go plot for next year. I'm considering a riff on the Baddest Boss Babe in Bridgerton, Lady Danbury.

I am watching Twin Peaks right now, but I am almost entirely faceblind, so I have a question for you.

Do Audrey and Donna wear a lot of makeup? A little? What is the style they are wearing? It seems like it might be a deliberate callback to the makeup styles you would see in 1930's film (Jezebel and Gone With the Wind in specific), but I couldn't tell you more than that.

Twin Peaks in general goes for a 50s-influenced aesthetic, and that includes the makeup. Audrey, who is supposed to be the more "glamorous" character, has a signature red lip and arched eyebrow, reminiscent of Marilyn Monroe, while Donna tends to go for more neutral shades of pinky browns, except when she's trying to look tough or more like Laura, when she'll wear red lipstick. They're wearing plenty of makeup, but the vintage style makes it look a little "simpler."
