Slapstick is visuele effecten en komedie

In mijn jeugd waren slapsticks (Comedy Capers) een eerste kennismaking met de (stomme) film. Dwaze achtervolgingen en het smijten met taarten waren terugkerende elementen. Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd, Harry Langdon en later Laurel en Hardy waren de grootmeesters van het genre. Slapstick werd afgeleid van de houten stokken die circusclowns tegen elkaar sloegen om het publiek te…

it does make me laugh when general purpose academic advice is like "all citations must be RECENT, if it's over ten years old it's probably been superseded" and it's like. maybe in sciences bro but over here i still regularly have to cite stuff from the 19th century because nobody has written on the topic since

Historical Newspaper Recolor

A Historical recolor of Soloriya's newspaper prop! This prop has been very handy for many pose creators so I wanted to add swatches for DecadesSimmers.

If there are any issues at all feel free to let me know, The prop has been provided since I could not find a link to the CC without being forced to go through linkverse or very sketchy websites :( The creator can contact me anytime for a safe link and I will update. I did not create this CC only recolored it :)

Sleepers, 1927

[fannyrosie]

Back in August, my mother, my sister and I did a three day roadtrip to Lake Placid in New York State, where the 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympics were hosted. We hiked and visited Adirondack natural wonders the two first days, but because my health was starting to fail me on the second day, we kept the third one for visiting the Downton Abbey costume exhibition at the Lake Placid Center for the arts.

On our way to the exhibit, we passed by the Pines Inn, formerly known as the St. Moritz Hotel, a hotel built in 1907. I had wanted to stay at that hotel, but my mom refused, saying it was in poor shape and looked haunted on the hotel booking sites (she wasn't wrong, but I love that stuff, as you know). I still insisted for us to at least visit it, and we sure did NOT regret it. We stumbled upon one of the concierges (or new owners, correct me if you see this!), and he loved my outfit so much that he gave us a tour of the hotel, including in areas closed to guests. He told us that Albert Einstein and the Kennedys had been guests at the hotel, that there was n*de sunbathing on the roof in the 1930s and that a lot of the furniture was original. Sadly, after the 80s, the hotel slowly went into decrepitude and abandonment, and many things got stolen and damaged. The new owners are currently working hard to restore the hotel, and it's indeed a lot of work.

Wedding Day, James Van Der Zee, 1926

Some of the art of Nell Brinkley (1886-1944). Entirely self-taught and one of the most popular illustrators of the first 30 years of the previous century, she also wrote engaging captions, as if in conversation with the reader, and scripted one-page dramas for her perfectly coiffed couples.
