Me, flirting: did you know that many 19th-century beauty manuals advised putting on cold cream before you went out in the sun to prevent sunburn? And some recipes for cold cream back then contained zinc oxide? So they might have accidentally invented sunscreen?

Now I’m looking at this drawing with froggy hair and I think he would powder it blue. They powdered their hair in different colors back then. It could be pink, blue, lilac, gray etc. Of course people also dyed it, but the ways of doing it were either very delicate (like boiling chestnuts for brown, chamomile tea for golden blonde etc) or quite dangerous (to bleach hair they used lye).
In 1950’ in the USA there was trend with putting colorful streaks on hair - pink, yellow, blue.
And still in 2023 you’re judged as weird or mentally unstable when you dye your hair pink. 🙄

I started drawing the Ever After High girls in random historical fashion eras… why? I have no idea
Raven Queen in 1890s, Apple White in Italian Renaissance.
Briar Beauty in 1920s, Madeline Hatter in 1880s
No particularly reason for the eras, just the vibe I get from the characters and their designs!

"just as I did, in 1983."
you'd never know my favourite parts of the show are the fucked up insane bits when my first instinct is to draw the cheesiest thing imaginable
#my art#interview with the vampire#iwtv amc#iwtv#armand iwtv#daniel molloy#armand#armandaniel#devils minion#drew this before the finale but idk maybe this is during the unspecified amount of time between armands divorce and daniels press tour#the titian painting doesnt fit at ALL with the timeline btw#i THOUGHT it did bc i assumed 1508 was when armand was turned into a vampire BUT upon reflection thats more likely the year he was born#and even then the painting was made in like 1510 so fuck me i guess. also im foggy on when armand was taken to rome#idk man i havent read the books and i failed art history on two separate occasions i cannot endeavor for accuracy#anyway as much as i love 70s/80s devils minion i have equal love for old man daniel#his cynicism has been tempered by time... refined like a diamond... he dont gaf and bullies his loser vampire and its hilarious#like ''sure yeah fine all these old italian renaissance guys saw ur ethereal otherworldly beauty but literally anybody can see that''#''IM the only mf who gets to experience the incandescent joy of seeing you be a messy idiot''#sidenote trying to make armand look unflattering is impossible u can blame the show for casting the worlds most beautiful man

I scrolled past a post that made brief mention of poisonous lead makeup in the course of saying something completely unrelated and I DIDN'T reblog it with a five-paragraph discussion of how Venetian ceruse was way less common than people imagine in 16th-18th century Europe and how, not only did they know it was an issue, but at least one unpopular socialite had her death blamed on it (with no evidence whatsoever) and many people still believe that to this day
(ancient Rome also had leaded makeup but I don't know what the culture around it was at that point in time)
Where Is My Sticker
#history#clothing history#dress history#fashion history#beauty history#sometimes I CAN gauge time and place!!!#obviously if there were an actual myth in play like Everyone Wore Ceruse And They Also Ate It Actually I'd jump in but#it was just like 'how did they live like that? anyway my point is-'

Reminder to go outside and breathe fresh air and look at the sky. This reminder has come from the corn, which has started talking to me because the midwest is haunted
#The sky has seen all of human history and it will see so much more#It is not the end#There are still beautiful things to look at and beautiful people to look at them with#Uh. The corn told me
