[tianalaurence1]

Princess Anne and Sir Timothy Laurence make loved-up display in coordinating outfits | HELLO!

Keen to coordinate with his wife, Sir Timothy also wore a tweed suit, adding a red tie to match his love's rouge accessories.

Aah they're too cute

EraserMic is good because it hits my specific niche of "guy who doesn't give two shits about how he looks and would wear a garbage bag if he could get away with it is somehow dating guy who plans each outfit three days in advance and has a lot of things to say about seasonal fashions"

Out and about | New York City, NY | October 12, 2024

Annie's Ibiza ‘Ivy Corset’ - $802.00 Annie's Ibiza ‘Ivy Skirt’ - $802.00 Tilly Sveaas ‘Gold T-Bar Curb Link Necklace’ - $385.00 (starting) Roberto Cavalli ‘Mirror Snake Shoulder Bag’ - $1,205.00 Versace ‘Aevitas Platform Mules’ - $1,075.00

While Annie's Ibiza lists this co-ordinating set as made from green deadstock velvet fabric, to my eye it tilts far more gold / yellow with a slight greenish undertone (a very yellow-toned chartreuse, I’d say). Though I suppose that is the wonder of a sheeny fabric like velvet that it can change dramatically with the light.

This outfit continues a lot of ongoing TTPD trends. Namely, corsetry and a certain sensual appeal thanks to the rich materials used in the top and skirt. And while this should have been set up for success in my eyes based solely on the so-called “green” of the ‘fit, I must admit that I am not a fan. Though a matching top and skirt is v Taylor (dating back to the 2014 days of 1989), I feel like breaking the matchy matchy moment apart to pair this corset with some trousers and slimmer heels would have fared better to my eyes. But maybe that’s my inner “jeans and a cute top” millennial talking.

The worst “offender”, for me, are the chunky mules. While I love the sandwich styling moment to coordinate with her Roberto Cavalli bag (I need you all to be Very Cool about that style name and the reminder that RC is the designer behind her Eras Tour reputation jumpsuit), their overall heaviness brings the look down, in my opinion. But what would a Taylor look be without a “wrong shoe” styling.

What I do love and want to call out? The romantic soft curls, swoopy bangs, and Morocco-y looking lips.

Here is my Wild Hearts Crew Jacy Masters rerooted and repainted by me wearing a custom made outfit by me wearing Creatable World shoes.

Jacy Masters came to me nude so I didn't have any of her original clothes, but I guess that's fine because even brand new, I though the Wild Hearts Crew's fashions were outdated, garish and unappealing. I wanted to do a flirty and fun two piece as I think it suited her California vibe and overall look.

I've had Jacy Masters in a box for so long I'm surprised by how much I really like her now I've customised her, especially since I probably wouldn't give Wild Hearts Crew dolls much thought otherwise except as parts fodder.

But I guess not giving a doll polypropolene hair, co ordinating clothing, and a screening that fills up the sculpt can do wonders for any doll.

jujutsu kaisen characters and how they spend new years with you

characters included: gojo, geto, nanami

gojo satoru:

it was simple, satoru would plan new years just for the sake of it. he has so much money honestly he searches for occaisions to spend it. you’d see him throw a lavish party in the gojo estate, kiss you softly after the countdown ends & coos how much he loves and adores you. satoru knows you both are couple goals for everyone else — given how easily he simps over you endlessly. “happy new year sweetheart.” he croons, kissing your forehead & then your lips while everyone is hooting & shouting, drinks clinking on their hands as you sip from the same wine glass. “i love you.” he smirked, saying it as if it was the very first time. people know he’s a lightweight but he’s always so excited to drink with you, maybe you wouldn’t mind a hyper clingy and over the top affectionate satoru when he does feel drunk.

geto suguru:

suguru has simple new year plans. he would prefer you both spending time together in each other’s arms, hugging and kissing each other & cooing softly at how your new years resolutions are just being there for each other. romantic and gentle. sitting beside him by the fire place, couped up in the fluffiest of blankets and the sweet & warm embrace of suguru, enamoring as his cologne hits you & makes you feel instantly warm. you two spend the year end in each other’s arms, in serenity without any impending chaos. suguru and you are the couple to make pillow forts and decorate it with fairy lights, cook your favorite food together and have fun banter over it, gossip a little if need be. eventually make sweet, sweet love & promise each other to stay together & be vulnerable for another year. <3

nanami kento:

lavish and high-end dinners, candle-lit & customised, all to suit his baby’s taste and aesthetics is what kento goes for during the year end. of course he is on a leave — no work priorities; there is only one priority for him especially right now, that’s you. he would suit up and dress up for you, co-ordinate your outfits together, would probably buy your dress and send a little note along with it that says, ‘wear this love’ and would patiently wait while you take your sweet time taking care of yourself & your hair & makeup. <3 kento is the sweetest because he would click a picture of you & put it as his social media pfp. not so subtle declaration of love but people know he’s in deep. never to come out. <3 would probably end the countdown with cutting a slice of your favorite cake. something sweet to start the new year, along with his sweet little angel.

DRAG DOLLS AS9 E1 - SIGNATURE FRAGRANCE

With the commencement of Rupaul's Drag Race All Stars 9 I'm bringing back the Drag Dolls series! It's my all time favourite show so I couldn't let the opportunity pass, especially for an all stars season.

The runway category for episode one was 'Signature Look, Signature Fragrance'. While the queens actually created custom perfume bottles to co-ordinate with their runway outfits, I decided to pull inspiration from an existing (and VERY iconic) scent - Daisy by Marc Jacobs. Across the Daisy range the packaging has a very 1960s mod vibe to it, so naturally I went in that style direction. I even managed to find a CC bottle of Daisy perfume that you can add to your game!

OUTFIT RESOURCES

Skin | Face Shading | Hair | Lashes | Eyeliner | Eyeshadow | Blush (Base Game - MAC) | Lipstick (TSR) | Nails

Hat | Earrings (retired - direct download) | Scarf | Dress | Tights (Get To Work) | Boots | Perfume (TSR)

The witch and the widow chapters 1-4 author’s notes

Ok, so first off I feel I gotta preface this by saying I am absolutely not a history buff. Kinda the opposite of one really. I was one of less than 10% of the kids in my year of 300 or so that didn’t take history at GCSEs, mostly caus a subject taught and based around names and dates etc is the definition of something not suited for my type of brain, also I hugely lost interest in it caus we moved past the fun trebuchet eras and all that real fast and it became of slog of me falling asleep in lessons caus I had a teacher whose method was putting on movies and shutting the blinds (I’d always fall asleep and he was later jailed for being a p*edophile, so that’s a thing.) Anyway, all that to say I’m not good at this shit, but as ive gotten older I have taken a bigger interest in queer history in particular, and that often if not always links into other areas such as fashion, women’s rights, religion,the arts, class, and race etc. (I’m still not good at names and dates though!)

They are outfitted and arsenalled - the stones of the wall - in a manner to rival any army; tapestries of red and gold perhaps once brandished on battlefield as banners promenading around death now retired and indoor-still-air-still as taxidermy giving colour between all of the shades of metal, burnished and polished and in some cases rusting, some still purposefully left blood-stained, swords and pikes and maces arranged in wallpaper patterns as though flowers or fans, sword-sheath beams spreading from chest-plate armour suns.

Let’s start with something easy and recent. The Baron’s armoury was inspired by a few castles I’ve visited, these rooms are always so bizarre to me. I don’t know if this is at all of the time/how they were decorated or a more recent thing, but either way it’s pretty wild but I do love the visual and metaphor of it. In this one castle I found out from talking about the carpentry to an attendant that the decorative ceiling work around the chandelier above the dining room table actually hid a trapdoor - and there was other hidden doorways for passages and to secret rooms in this castle, that’s not that unusual - but this particular trapdoor was to allow for the chandeliers to be switched out. Why? Caus they had them in multiple colours of glass, and the lady of the castle liked the chandelier to co-ordinate with her dress if they were having guests round. Aint that such a flex? Definitely some food for future thought.

Aight. Clothing. So anyone that chats fic/au to me or is in my server has probably heard me yell to go watch Kaz Rowe’s videos many times. As I’ve said this fic aint meant to be historically accurate but it does kinda straddle histories, one of which being our own; so women wearing trousers and the like at this time would still be a crime, and draw a lot of attention . Imogen in men’s clothing genuinely isn’t meant to be much of a gender thing but a thing of practicality, and she has mostly lived in the countryside or in the outskirts, so she does not get into the trouble she would should she go into the towns and cities (another reason to keep away past the potential noise, but this Imogen will happily don a dress or skirts if she needs to, she’s just usually working – and maybe it’s a bonus that dressing as a man acts as a sort of flagging for any women who might be interested lol.)

I guess here I should mention how I think this version of Imogen's powers and how they’ve manifested (along with everyone else being unaware of them) will have somewhat changed her disposition and personality, it is a lot more aligned with later campaign Imogen who has more confidence and empowerment, she hasn’t been ostracised for her abilities or particularly bombarded by them, think more like when she has her circlet on, she chooses to listen in (mostly), although of course she has still heard many terrible things (and her life has still been pretty brutal but that’s to be written still).

(it’ll be really fun in this regard getting to explore and explain this version of Laudna, but early days for giving much away on that yet!)

Her skirts are full and structured and plumed by many layers of petticoats that hide the movement of her feet across the wildflower lawn, causing her to appear to be drifting like the bees do from petal to petal, pollen dusting her pleats though ghostly her skin in contrast to the fine fabrics that she dresses for the part, black in mourning, still, bodice tight and sleeve leg of mutton, an ornate decorative layer of black lace laying over each yard of textured textile like spider webs on porcelain patterns, her husband's tableware collecting dust in the kitchen cupboard.

real impractical for how tending towards practical the Lady dares to be, hands on, too busy for errant hairs in piano key ivory and ebony windswept and loose from the high bun she pins in place with a cameo broach, a memento mori engraved in silver and inlayed with ruby eyes and tied with red ribbons. Her skin also proudly displays the age and perhaps trauma that her hair does, lines from laughter and furrowed brows and the feet of the crows that cry from the top of the chimney pots

A little note as to say that Laudna’s appearance is heavily influenced by Victorian mourning wear, with some of the clothes cuts altered to be a little bit more regency and earlier in places. (her  attire is a little outdated, further suggesting her distancing from society and fashion)

A couple of days ago Imogen happened upon a bird with an injured wing, crying helplessly and rolling in circles, feathers taking flight away from the bird that could not, settling around it as it panicked itself bald-

The bird could not live without the use of its wing, and it didn’t, whether that was by Prosciutto or a fox, only its feathers were left in a pile.

Imogen had gathered them into an empty burlap sack; taken them to one of the maids downstairs to clean, repurpose them for filling pillows.

Here’s a silly little easter egg for my p(r)oof reader. Last time he visited we was enjoying a cinnamon roll from the local bakery by the city river (as you do) and a cyclist hit a seagull. It was real distressing, the seagull was distressed too. A handfull of middle aged women stood around it not wanting or knowing how to intervene as its wing was twisted at a crazy angle and it flapped about in a pile of its own feathers, there’s still bird flu about so it is wise to not touch wild birds, and as bleak as it is I was saying to freshy that a wild bird who’s wings broken like that is gonna die, and probably slowly and painfully. Some man came along and lifted up the bird to take the bird off the path and laid it to rest behind an old bridge building, I think he must have mercy killed it too as the bird was already dead when we walked past 10 or so minutes later after finishing our cinnamon roll and giving a cautious glance. So there’s a nice happy memory thrown in there for him.

what appears to be driftwood breaches the surface, then another point, then another

the water belches

Ceviche scares, whinnying as he rears onto his back legs, the Lady leaning forward and clinging to his harness. Imogen stands in her stirrups, leaning across the gap over to the black stallion, grasping his reins and cooing

“All good, boy, all good-”

What had appeared to be driftwood lands on the surface with a slap, looking like the carcass of an old boat left to rot in the muddy bed of a dock, timber ribcaged and leathered skin cladding.

A femur surfaces, followed by a jaw.

Second easter egg for the p(r)oof is a quick one (I’m such a considerate writer, I know.) On a train ride to a loch we went to for a day out there is a stop that is on another lake/body of water, and right by the train tracks (which are at water height) there are 4 or 5 old ships stuck in the mud, most of them just the frames/structures of the old boats, mostly wood and some bits of metal, but they’re pretty big boats! It really looks like whale carcasses. I’ve always wanted to get of there and check it out, and we were gonna stop by on the way back but my health being what it is was giving me some grief that day so we missed 2 trains and then soon the daylight, so hopefully next time buddy.

There’s alotta meat and gore talk and Imogen being a vegetarian without the label for such is just another way of me playing round with all of her complex feelings about what the Lady might be doing, her feelings towards Angharad butchering and nourishing the women with these communal stews and all of that. I’ve been vegetarian myself for 20 years now, and it was all triggered by an existential crisis in my mid teens (still a huge fan of leather and blood though) – Imogen greatly cares about animals, struggles with the thought of anything being slaughtered, she is in some ways more empathetic than most because she knows those she does on so much more of a personal level, really feels how someone is reacting to a situation they are in, but also because of this she knows humans are often corrupt and vile and she is spared such thoughts from animals, only knows their instincts and the love and comfort and service they bring – and yet she will obsess over the Lady’s (potential) tooling on that saddlework leather that’s really fucking brutal if she thinks about it one way and beautiful if she thinks about it another hmmm what if everything’s not black and white.

Oh, and the stew is a homage to @picturesofthegoneworlds’ pre-campaign fic Intertwined which I am lucky enough to co-parent and her writing is hugely influential on mine.

There’s a few things being bread crumb trailed here that I can’t explain in the author notes yet, but I’m looking forward to when I can. One small detail I will give away is just a silly thing about the chapter headings. They are something of significance from within the chapter, given in its ‘proper’ name – maybe someone gets access to some books to do research at some point?

anyways, thanks @astoriacolumnstaircase for enabling me. will do another post like this for future chapters if folks find it interesting.

What would all the Ghouls dress up like for Halloween?

For starters I think they all theme their costumes…

Like they don’t necessarily always co-ordinate, but they all come up with a theme and stick to it.

Bc why tf not, they’re doing slutty costumes this year.

Rain - Slutty nun (he had to fight Swiss for the costume)

Aether - Sexy nurse

Aurora - Karen Smith’s iconic “I’m a mouse, duh!” outfit from Mean Girls

Swiss - Copia (calls himself a “slutty cardinal” but he’s literally just wearing one of Copia’s old cassocks & birettas)

Cumulus - TV weather girl in the most revealing dress she could find

Mountain - Puts lingerie on and calls himself a vixen

Phantom - Sexy Zookeeper (but calls themself a “bat keeper”)

Cirrus - Forgot about a costume because she usually helps everyone with their’s, so she gets her Prequelle uniform, modifies it so it’s booty shorts, and leaves the shirt open, calls herself a “Slutty keyboardist”

Sunshine - Baywatch lifeguard in the tiniest swim suit she’s allowed to wear in public.

I forgot about Dew so he’s here

[prettyboykatsuki]

me watching the one conservative man pretend he’s making fun of trans women but never wearing the same fit twice and color co-ordinating each outfit: 😬

It doesn't matter for the chronological order, always recommend rdr1 first

Sadly this never reaches people before they pick up rdr2 and play it but I am a firm believer that the first game is first!!!! Whilst it is in a chronical order with rdr2 first, the storyline and dialogue was designed with a cyclical structure, and for the rdr1 players to experience. This means that there are soo many references, key moments and plot happens that were added for rdr1 players to notice and link back to their original understanding of the storyline, and have reactions to.

Take for instance, basically all Javier + John moments. When John speaks to him of wanting to go to Mexico, (and Javier especially saying "Maybe you will") was meant for the rdr1 players to have a reaction to as they *know* what happens in Mexico to them. Without having played first, the moment goes over your head as mindless dialogue, making the game altogether seem less co-ordinated into a clear plot with random conversations.

Or, in the epilogue, in which John puts on the original rdr1 outfit as its played out with lots of suspense. Without having played, this moment is kind of just, okay? But when I tell you me and amongst many other rdr1 players had a genuinely massive reaction, and it was purposely designed for that, as well to show let the players link the piece by piece timeline together.

It allows key moments past little plot lines to almost feel satisfying(?), with lots of intense dramatic irony to show the players what's going to happen. When John falls off the train in the end of chapter six, it was to show the players that final moment he would describe in rdr1 as when he was abandoned. One of the final pieces finally clicks in the players head and let's them know subtly that he will leave the gang, it is going to fall apart right now. Whilst it was clear in chapter 6 it would happen, to have the prior knowledge that arthur and John are separated, and Dutch, javier and bill all abandoned him to leave makes the chapter that much more tense as you are very eager to know just exactly how that happens.

Rdr1 is perhaps a lot more enjoyable too, as you get to find out about john marston for the first time, and piece together a brand new story from the very little hints dropped and key story telling, as having played rdr2 made the moments of him telling bonnie a lot less significant as it is to first time players, as he doesnt just tell bonnie but the player too.

ALSO THE EPILOGUE!!!!!! I WILL NOT TAKE ANY EPILOGUE SLANDER FROM PEOPLE WHO PLAYED RDR2 FIRST

The Eras Tour | 1989 section | Version 7

Roberto Cavalli custom Christian Louboutin custom

One of the signature elements of the Eras Tour costuming has been balancing visually referencing eras past, but refreshing them for the modern day. Her co-ordinating tops and skirts worn for the 1989 section are a great example. The previous quad of beaded ensembles (pink, gree[eeeee]n, orange, and blue) all featured colours and coordination that embodied the polish and shine of the original 1989 era but in a new, fitted skirt silhouette.

With the European leg of the tour, Taylor introduced a new series of 1989 costumes by Fausto Puglisi for Roberto Cavalli that are a shift from the original design concept.

From the ombre shading, the skater skirt fit, the incorporation of the Cavalli big cat emblem at the bust, and the two tone element. To me it all falls much closer to the original costuming of the 1989 Tour with bralettes and metallic skater skirts by Jessica Jones. Many of the new outfits debuted in Paris seem to have undergone what I call a 'makeunder' to more closely resemble their original, canonical tour ensembles and not the refreshed 'Taylor Versions’ we’ve seen thus far on the Eras Tour in 2023/24.

While Taylor also has the opportunity to mix/match these coloured sets to create endless new pairing possibilities, based on the sketches my thought is that these two-tone sets were created with the intention of being mismatched, right down to the coordinating Louboutins. And on that note, there is one very famous New Yorker known for mismatching her Louboutins which, if intentional, would be an apt 1989 era reference: the one and only Carrie Bradshaw.

There’s nothing I love more than when Nadja and Laszlo are wearing matching outfits. They’re so in love. They wake up and they discuss how they’re going to co-ordinate for the day. They had custom made suits and dresses so that they can match.

[anotherbananasong]

Please tell me the Ghouls all dress up for Halloween and co-ordinate their outfits

👉🏻👈🏻

Omg adorable… I’m picturing Earth as Wybie, Air as Coraline, and Astra dressed up like the Coraline doll…

Anyone else have ghoul costume thoughts???
