So, the women are NOT allowed to wear what they want?! Are we somehow going back to 1950ies?!
Hell world.
I know SEVERAL afab nonbinary people who, as soon as they came out as nonbinary - immediately began dressing in ridiculous hyper-femme outfits they never would have worn before. A lot of people see this and say shit like “Theyfab” or say they are only nonbinary for attention. After all, look how femme they are.
But to me, this makes perfect sense. When you are forced into the category of “woman” against your will, femininity is a chore. It’s a job that you have. As soon as you say no, I’m not a woman, suddenly femininity isn’t your job anymore. It’s not a requirement. It’s just a fun hobby you can get into. Or a little treat sometimes.

There are now millions of posts about this most of them probably by me, but I never cease getting whiplash with how time steetches and contracts in your life:
It really feels like you were a child most of your life and everything post 18 years old or so is "the future" and should fit into like a decade at most.
Of course if you then think back and unpack all that you see that yeah, lots of stuff actually happened there (in my case, uni, working, getting married, having a kid, all that, before we even get into pop culture and holy shit world events)
It's similar to those graphs that show you are closer chronologically to T-Rex than T-Rex was to Stegosaurus, how there was more distance between the construction of the pyramids and Cleopatra than between Cleopatra and you
It's objectively true but it still feels so weird to frame it like that
Back on the personal level Yeah the 1980ies are now to me what the 1950ies are to my parents, the 2000s are now to me what the 1980ies are to them
Actually what's worse is that we are now further from 2000 than 2000 was from 1980
I hear it gets even worse over time!

Feminine energy? Masculine energy? No, thanks.
Currently questioning my gender identity, which is new to me. (Yes, this can be quite a journey, I guess.) Yesterday I saw a YouTube video where the youTuber criticized relationship advice on TikTok which had role models like from the 1950ies, focussing on "feminine energy" vs. "masculine energy". These TikTok videos were quite ridiculous or even harmful and I also thought, "I don't want feminine energy for myself. I also don't want masculine energy. Just not interested in any of that."

I love this so much. He's just as handsome as Katrine. ❤️ I like to imagine that they shared a very long and happy life after the war. I guess it took some time for Chuck/Amal to get accustumed to life in France but he's an open-minded guy and he trusts Katrine blindly.
Oh, this gives me so many ideas... Based on the actors' ages, Katrine and Chuck would've both been born around 1900. That means they both lived through not only one but two world wars.
I think it made especially Katrine grow up fast. Her father and fiancé (Justin) died on a mission in the last days of WW1 while she had to look after her mother and early teenage sister, Phoebe.
I imagine this experience of hardship made Katrine decide to live her life to the fullest, which is why she moved to Paris in the 1920ies and threw herself into the party scene. She tried to make a living as a bar singer but - while talented in many areas - had to realise that singing wasn't among them (just watch Kate Mulgrew as a country singer in "Dallas". 😄). It's still a sore spot for Katrine which is why she's a tad too salty with Mademoiselle DeNeuf.
Interwar-Paris is also the time and place where Katrine becomes politicised. She meets and befriends Tuvok (a highly educated man from one of the French colonies in Africa), who introduces her to the political circles that will later form the Resistance. It's also where she meets Mark, who becomes her second fiancé.
When Nazi Germany takes over Paris in 1940, Katrine and Tuvok flee to St. Claire in the south of France, where they open the 'Coeur de Lion' to run their Resistance cell. Mark joins the French Army and is soon lost. When Katrine meets Chuck, Mark has been missing for over four years and she has to assume that he's dead. When Mark returns, Chuck and Katrine were just married and run the 'Coeur de Lion' together. After an emotional reunion, everyone's just happy that they're all still alive and remain friends. Mark moves to Québec to start a new life.
---
Ah, I think that's enough for now. 😄 I'd like to have Chuck a background as a Native American but I don't know enough about how that might play into the WW2 scenario and how he grew up.
There are also many questions still open: Do Katrine and Chakotay have a child? What do they do in the 1950ies, 60s, 70s and 80s?
I'm pretty convinced they'd be a part of the civil rights movement in the 60s/70s. How do they eventually die?

Amal Miller, the show runner of Le Coeur de Lion, as well as leader of the underground French resistance

Anyway what that talk about sci-fi and the future reminds me of is the story of that children's book author in early 20th century germany who wrote coming-of-age stories for little girls, and as she wrote about her characters' whole lives, she wrote them well into the future. She did this without making any predictions, though, creating a sort of eternal present. Her 1940ies, 1950ies and 1970ies germany looked exactly like the germany of 1919.
In real life of course, she was Jewish, and after writing books literally enjoyed by millions, she would be disgraced and murdered in the Holocaust

Maybe not 1950ies. I thought about adding lace to the edge of that pink and yellow skirt because I like to add it to all my doll skirts but then thought maybe I should do a little research. I flipped through some early 1950s fashion magazines and did not see such lace edges. (Though it was a very limited amount of magazines and not from very different places.)
This pattern seems to me to be much newer anyway. Now I am thinking, should I just go with a generic cute dress design or try to make something historically inspired.

Two ongoing projects. I have been procrastinating with the white and blue bodice for months because the straps took patience to sew in the right place and at first I made them too long and had to sew them in again. But today I finally did it!
And also, while still today taking a break from sewing those straps, I started with another doll dress. I have a small piece of vintage fabric with this very cute pattern. I managed very easily to match the pattern in the seam of the skirt but those lines of yellow rectangles are not symmetrical everywhere so in the upper and lower edge the cut is not following the pattern. I don't think it will bother me.
I am planning to make a 1950s style dress of this but I need to adjust my existing patterns for the bodice I am planning and I am not sure if I can make a good collar in this scale with this fabric so maybe I will change my plans.

Well, tonight a movie set in the 1950ies but made in the 1970ies: The Lords of Flatbush from 1974! Cast: Sylvester Stallone - Stanley Rosiello Henry Winkler - Butchey Weinstein Perry King - David 'Chico' Tyrell Paul Mace - Wimpy Murgalo Susan Blakely - Jane Bradshaw and many more
Story: A group of four young men form a gang, enjoying their free time together. Yet for Stanley and Chico there's more behind a romance. Stanley got his girl pregnant and well, he's kinda slowly forced into marrying her. However, Chico finds a girl he's interested in, yet can't say the right words in front of her. Both he and Jane are kinda new into it, and well, as for Jane, Chico needs to grow up. There are some disputs within the group but in the end, they all come together at Stanley's wedding.
Two interesting facts here: 1) Perry King and Henry Winkler know each other from Yale, having graduated there. 2) Chico should have been played originally by Richard Gere, yet he and Stallone "didn't hit off" as Stallone explained. His role was re-casted and Perry King stepped in. Well, Mr King made three movies in 1975. One I saw already. Foster and Laurie, meaning two are left.
P.S. The Lords felt a bit like "Grease", but only a bit.
