An Enchanted Evening
INTO THE WOODS Crescent Theatre, Birmingham, Sunday 30thApril 2023 Tackling this masterwork by the late, great Stephen Sondheim is no easy task. It requires a large cast of excellent actor-singers to pull off its dissonant melodies and to breathe life into the often complex and witty lyrics. I’m happy to report that the Crescent rises to the challenge and succeeds. Impressively. The story…

1850-1899
This is part of a series in which I am posting clips of my larger project by decade as I finish them. For more about this project, or to ask me to include your doll or OC, check out my pinned post.
Previous posts:
17th century
1700-1739
1740-1769
1770-1799
1800-1849
The OCs in this post that are mine are Charlotte and Jane, Rachel and Abigail, and Hannah and Delia (they're in pairs because I did the Best Friends series based on @americangirlstar's suggestions, and in the process created a Best Friend for each of my own characters). Héloise and Aoife belong to @autistickirstenlarson, Violette belongs to @getintothesun, and Charlotte belongs to @gardner-n-pardner.
While putting together previous installations I became aware that I have the birth dates wrong for several of the canon characters. I'm planning a redo for the canon character set, eventually, so please do let me know if I'm wrong about anyone. I might already know, but since I have pretty severe dyscalculia as well as ADHD it's not bad to have the info available in multiple places.
I also feel that I should repeat the statement I made before that I had a hard time finding accurate, non-exoticizing references for Kaya, Speaking Rain, and Singing Bird's wardrobes without embarking on a level of research way beyond the scope of this project. If someone is reading this who has familiarity with and access to visual references for 19th century Nimiipuu, Salish, and Dakota/Lakota clothing, and the time and patience to help me understand them, I would be very interested in learning.
1850s
Héloise Cormier: 96-99 Kaya'aton'my: 95-99 Speaking Rain: 95-99 Felicity Merriman: 85-94 Elizabeth Cole: 85-94 Rachel Gabay: 70-79 Abigail Schorr: 70-79 Lydia Livingston: 51-60 Caroline Abbott: 49-58 Clara Montoya: 38-47 Josefina Montoya: 36-45 Hannah Kane: 26-35 Delia Freedman: 26-35 Violette Metoyer: 26-35 Aoife Callaghan: 14-23 Cecile Rey: 8-17 Marie-Grace Gardner: 8-17 Kirsten Larson: 6-15 Singing Bird: 6-15 Charlotte Devereux: 1-10 Addy Walker: 0-5 Sarah Moore: 0-5
Charlotte is a fun and interesting character: I made small edits to some of the base poses I use to accommodate her cane, and larger edits to others. I looked up some photos and videos of children with juvenile arthritis, which Charlotte has, to help get it right. Some of the outfits in Charlotte's collection were repeats, so I picked out a few more outfits from the same period that seem like they fit Charlotte's frilly, floral aesthetic. Meanwhile, this decade, Addy and Sarah are both born into slavery, Héloise, Kaya, and Speaking Rain say goodbye, Cecile and Marie-Grace begin wearing full-length, grown-up dresses, and Clara Montoya, ever sensible, tries out a Bloomer suit but finds that it doesn't make her work enough easier to offset the teasing and doesn't make any more of them.
1860s
Felicity Merriman: 95-99 Elizabeth Cole: 95-99 Rachel Gabay: 80-89 Abigail Schorr: 80-89 Lydia Livingston: 61-70 Caroline Abbott: 59-68 Clara Montoya: 48-57 Josefina Montoya: 46-55 Hannah Kane: 36-45 Delia Freedman: 36-45 Violette Metoyer: 36-45 Aoife Callaghan: 24-33 Cecile Rey: 18-27 Marie-Grace Gardner: 18-27 Kirsten Larson: 16-25 Singing Bird: 16-25 Charlotte Devereux: 11-20 Addy Walker: 6-15 Sarah Moore: 6-15 He-Mei Hsieh: 0-4 Florence Coburn: 0-4 Lucy Morgan: 0-4
He-Mei is a placeholder name that probably isn't right for her character. It's a Mandarin name, and she should have a name in Cantonese. Unfortunately I just don't know enough to be able to pick one out without help, so if someone seeing this who speaks Cantonese has a great idea, I'd love to hear it. Ironically, although AG has never made either a Chinese or significantly Disabled Historical doll, He-Mei and Florence owe the most to existing AG characters out of all my OCs. Maybe it's their dedication to getting into trouble.
1870s
Rachel Gabay: 90-99 Abigail Schorr: 90-99 Lydia Livingston: 71-80 Caroline Abbott: 69-78 Clara Montoya: 58-67 Josefina Montoya: 56-65 Hannah Kane: 46-55 Delia Freedman: 46-55 Violette Metoyer: 46-55 Aoife Callaghan: 34-43 Cecile Rey: 28-37 Marie-Grace Gardner: 28-37 Kirsten Larson: 26-35 Singing Bird: 26-35 Charlotte Devereux: 21-30 Addy Walker: 16-25 Sarah Moore: 16-25 He-Mei Hsieh: 5-14 Florence Coburn: 5-14 Lucy Morgan: 5-14 Gertrude Levy: 0-4 Mabel Kaplan: 0-4 Medha/Mahtab: 0-2
The First Bustle Era, with its big, poofy, drapey bustles, shrinks down into a tight, structured column shape. Florence's chair is based on historical examples: it has two large wheels that she can push in the front and one small wheel in the back. It's heavy and difficult for her to push as a kid, and when He-Mei pushes it she can't always see where they are going. I feel like Addy's school suit, in particular, translates well into these stiffer and more structured styles, and Caroline's Christmas dress isn't bad either. Another one that worked out well is Cécile's parlor outfit.
1880s
Lydia Livingston: 81-90 Caroline Abbott: 79-88 Clara Montoya: 68-77 Josefina Montoya: 66-75 Hannah Kane: 56-65 Delia Freedman: 56-65 Violette Metoyer: 56-65 Aoife Callaghan: 44-53 Cecile Rey: 38-47 Marie-Grace Gardner: 38-47 Kirsten Larson: 36-45 Singing Bird: 36-45 Charlotte Devereux: 31-40 Addy Walker: 26-35 Sarah Moore: 26-35 He-Mei Hsieh: 15-24 Florence Coburn: 15-24 Lucy Morgan: 15-24 Gertrude Levy: 5-14 Mabel Kaplan: 5-14 Medha/Mahtab: 3-12 Diya/Nasreen: 0-9 Harriet Shapiro: 0-4 Matilda Greene: 0-4
There's a lot still undecided about the sisters I originally called Diya and Medha but then considered renaming to Nasreen and Mahtab, depending on what kind of backstory would work best for them. Unfortunately, I know more about clothing history than I do about historical waves of immigration. I still think these characters have a good dynamic with each other and I love how their outfits turned out, but I probably won't be fleshing them out much unless I happen to learn a lot more about their potential backgrounds. For the time being, I'm leaving them in the project but I'm focusing more on characters I don't need to do a lot of original research to develop.
The Second Bustle Era is far more stiff and structured than the first, with heavier fabrics and narrower lines. Even the older girls are wearing bustles, while the younger girls often have large bows at the backs of their dresses in imitation of the bustled silhouette. This project first saw a bustled style in the 1680s, they were most famous in the 1880s, and even today we see them now and then on bridal or red carpet gowns.
1890s
Lydia Livingston: 91-99 Caroline Abbott: 89-98 Clara Montoya: 78-87 Josefina Montoya: 76-85 Hannah Kane: 66-75 Delia Freedman: 66-75 Violette Metoyer: 66-75 Aoife Callaghan: 54-63 Cecile Rey: 48-57 Marie-Grace Gardner: 48-57 Kirsten Larson: 46-55 Singing Bird: 46-55 Charlotte Devereux: 41-50 Addy Walker: 36-45 Sarah Moore: 36-45 He-Mei Hsieh: 25-34 Florence Coburn: 25-34 Lucy Morgan: 25-34 Gertrude Levy: 15-24 Mabel Kaplan: 15-24 Medha/Mahtab: 13-22 Diya/Nasreen: 10-19 Harriet Shapiro: 5-14 Matilda Greene: 5-14 Samantha Parkington: 0-4 Nellie O'Malley: 0-4
The final decade of the 19th century has us saying goodbye to Caroline and Lydia, and hello to Samantha and Nellie. Although it's less dramatic than the first and second bustle eras or even the period between them, this period is surprisingly fun to draw. And it's nice to be ending the century with their wintery formalwear. Happy new year!
As always, to get your historical doll or OC included in this project, HERE'S THE LINK. Obviously if your doll is from earlier than the 20th century they'll have to wait for the next round of drawings, but you're welcome to put them in the form and I'll include them in the next round, which will otherwise focus on the siblings of canon characters.

Before & After - The New Maid
Set in the world of The Magician’s Game.
***
Samantha Devereux came from old money, and she’d married well. She’d never had to work a day in her life, but there was nothing she liked more than ordering everybody else around. She’d spend her days strutting around her large manor house, barking orders at the maid, Hannah, changing her instructions constantly and forcing her to perform her duties within impossibly short timeframes. Poor Hannah couldn’t afford to give up her job, despite the awful treatment she received at the hands of her employer, not even when Mrs Devereaux went as far as to prohibit her from taking bathrooms breaks until all her work was done. The tearful young maid was forced to mop the floors and scrub the windows with a thick diaper flashing underneath the short hem of her uniform, a diaper that would inevitably end up heavy with pee by the end of the day.
It may have been Hannah’s burning resentment towards her boss that first drew the Magician to take an interest in Mrs Deveraux, and he soon decided that the arrogant heiress would be the perfect candidate for one of his little games. Samantha was shocked to suddenly find herself transported to a manor even more richly furnished and extravagant than her own, right when she’d been in the middle of chewing out her maid over some insufficiently polished silverware, but she didn’t have much time to recover before she was pitched into the game that would drastically alter the course of her life. The snobbish thirty-five-year-old was able to avoid taking any penalties in the first task, but unfortunately for her, her fellow contestants didn’t much appreciate her laziness and bad attitude (Samantha had never learned to develop much of a work ethic), and she was voted out at the end of the first day.
Although Mrs Deveraux cried and pleaded, the Magician wasn’t about to send her home without any ‘alterations’. With a magically imbued command, he ordered her never to pee or poop outside of her own pants again, much to her dismay. Not only that, he decided that a change in status would suit the entitled little woman, and with a snap of his fingers Samantha Deveraux went back to being Samantha Page; though she retained all her memories of her former life, in this new reality she’d never married Mr Deveraux, nor had she been born into a rich family herself. Instead she was employed as a maid at the manor she had once claimed as hers, confined to nappies and a frilly little maid’s outfit, under the strict supervision of the new lady of the house…
Samantha’s New Life
“Make sure that floor is spotless, potty-pants, or you won’t be getting your diaper changed before bed tonight.”
Samantha glared up at Hannah, Mrs Deveraux, through tear-filled eyes, but she didn’t dare stop her scrubbing. She knew the threat was genuine. It wouldn’t be the first time she’d been sent to bed without a change, forced to spend the night in a soaked, or even stinky, nappy. It was hard to get to sleep in a cold, clammy pair of Pampers, let alone one with a big, smelly mess in the back.
Over the past few weeks, Samantha had had plenty of experience dealing with full diapers, but that didn’t mean she hated them any less. Of all the humiliating features of her new life, there was nothing she despised more than having to let go of her bladder into her pants, or worse, to squat and do a poo-poo in her own knickers. Only they weren’t knickers. Not anymore. The only thing Samantha wore over her bottom these days were the thick, adult-sized baby nappies she depended upon to keep herself from making a mess on the floor. Noisy and bulky, they forced her thighs apart and crinkled with every movement she made, a constant reminder of their presence.
Samantha scrubbed hard at the floor, making absolutely sure there wasn’t a speck of dirt to be seen. Her knees were sore from the amount of time she’d spent crawling around the kitchen, scouring the tiles, but she couldn’t afford to take a break if she wanted to get all her chores done before the end of her shift. Her breasts jostled in the loose-fitting blouse of her uniform, wobbling stupidly beneath her like they always did when she cleaned the floor. Her outfit was skimpy and slutty – Hannah said it was to give Mr Deveraux “something pretty to look at”, but whenever he saw her, Samantha’s former husband usually did little more than wrinkle his nose at the sight of the used diaper peeking out from under the hem of her dress. She knew the real reason was simply to humiliate her even more; there was no hiding her nappy in her outfit, and the sexiness of her uniform only served to clash ridiculously with her babyish underwear, turning her into even more of a joke.
Samantha’s tummy made a loud rumbling noise. Her diaper was already drenched with pee, and with a sinking feeling in her stomach, she realised she could feel the beginnings of a bowel movement coming on.
“Would you like a bathroom break, Sammy?” asked Hannah, with a faint smirk. She was leaning against the kitchen counter, watching her work with a martini in her hand. “You can go and use the toilet if you want to. I’m not a monster.”
“No thank you, Mrs Deveraux,” Samantha said, as politely as she could, not pausing in her scrubbing. She didn’t want to give Hannah any excuse to discipline her, but she couldn’t stop herself from scowling.
“No? Are you sure, sweetie? It sounds like you need to go potty.”
Samantha said nothing.
“Sammy…” Hannah said warningly. “I asked you a question. You need to go poopy, don’t you?”
“Yes, Mrs Deveraux,” said Samantha, trying not to grit her teeth in anger.
“Then don’t you want to use the toilet?”
Samantha glared up at her former employee. Perhaps there was one thing she hated more than wearing nappies. “No thank you, Mrs Deveraux,” she said sweetly, just as Hannah had trained her to do. “I’d rather keep working and use my pants.”
“Yuck!” said Hannah, clearly relishing the sight of her ex-boss acting so slavishly. “That’s disgusting, Sammy! But I suppose I should be grateful that I have such a diligent worker, shouldn’t I? Go ahead then. Fill your diaper, sweetie.”
For a moment Samantha considered saying no, getting up, ripping off her soggy nappy and flinging it in Hannah’s face. But she knew it would do her no good. It wouldn’t undo the Magician’s power, and it would only get her into huge trouble. Clenching her eyes shut, face burning with shame, she did as she was told. She grunted and pushed, and a second later the seat of her Pampers bulged out behind her. She grunted again and continued to wipe the floor while she pooped. All she could do was keep doing her chores, and hope that by the end of the day she’d have done enough work to get herself out of the now thoroughly dirty diaper hanging off her hips.

Alright!
@calamitys-child I have several records for a Sophie Devereux!
Or Sophia, or Sophy, y’know - no Deverauxs, or Devereauxs, tho, I don’t think?
This is possibly (definitely) far more detailed than you were expecting, but like. This is. Yeah.
So. We have
1 - Sophy Maria Devereux, a bricklayer’s wife from Burton Latimer. She was born Sophy Maria Westley in 1863, she was a machinist as a teenager, and then married an Amos Charles Devereux, in 1879 - though she said she was 18 when she was 16, probably so her parents didn’t have to sign off for it, and she was possibly already pregnant with her first child, Arthur.
[ID: part of a 1911 census, which lists Amos Charles Devereux as head of the house. He is a 54 year old bricklayer. His wife is Sophy Maria Deveraux, 47. They have been married for 30 years. She is recorded as having had 14 children, though only 3 of them are still living. Then is their daughter Hannah Elizabeth Devereux, a 25 year old glover. /End ID.]
Sophy’s surviving children were Arthur, possibly her firstborn, Annie, and Hannah (as above). Arthur served in the RASC during the war (he had grey eyes. brown hair, and a fresh complexion, and went to France) and became a cutlery grinder. Annie and Hannah were both at one stage shoemakers.
This Sophy died in Kettering in 1921.
-
2 - Sophia Devereax, a file cutter’s wife in Sheffield. She was born in 1828 in Loxley - I don’t know under what name, as I can’t find a marriage record, but I do know her husband (common-law or otherwise) was called Thomas Devereax, and he was from Wolverhampton. His first wife (Hannah Wynn from Birmingham) died in 1867, and Sophia is with him on the 1871 census. They don’t appear to have had any children together, unsurprisingly, but Thomas had five children from his previous marriage (Joseph, Alfred, Kate, Samuel and Mary). After Sophia died (sometime during the 1870s, as in 1881, Thomas is a widower), Thomas became a licensed victualler, and ran the Spring Wood Inn on Freedom Street in Sheffield, with his daughter Kate as barmaid.
[ID: part of a 1871 census, which lists Thomas Devereax as head of the household. He is 45 years old. His wife Sophia is 43, and follow his children - Joseph, 18, Alfred, 16, Kate, 12, Samuel, 10, and Mary, 7. /End ID]
That one’s a bit of a mystery, and I spent too long looking up the name of the pub (thank you pubwiki, and who knew that was a thing)
-
3 - Sophie P Devereux, a jeweller’s clerk in King’s Norton. I know even less about this one than the others, as she wasn’t married or
oh hohoho wait
Sophia Petrie Devereux, born 1854 in Bodenham, Hereford to Henry George Devereux and Sophia Petrie. Henry was lately a farmer of 160 acres, having lost his farm sometime in the 50s I believe, tho on his death in 1879 he was listed as a yeoman, which as I (cityfolk I am) understand it is basically a farmer, idk.
Sophia Petrie herself (she ought to have her own listing, whoops) was a farmer’s daughter, tho she was from Snettisham in Norfolk, her father had 200 acres there and both her parents (Archibald and Jessie Petrie) were from Scotland. Archie and Jessie had ten children on their two censuses (1841 and 1851) and were both born in the 1790s. Their children (Sophia Petrie’s siblings and Sophia Devereux’s aunts and uncles) were, in order as I have them - Eliza, Susannah, Archibald, Charles, Jessie, Sophia, Euphemia, Agnes, John and Walter - tho Eliza was 22 in 1841 and it’s very possible there’s older ones than her.
Anyway, Sophie P D. I have for her four English censuses - three of which she lived with her parents in Aston, and the last she was a boarder with the Hackwood family in King’s Norton. Then I have 10 electoral rolls listings for her, dating 1919 to 1942 - for a place called Caulfield, Victoria in Australia! Which is cool! A jetsetting Sophie! I mean, I don’t know when she left for Australia, but they definitely didn’t have jets.
Here she is on the 1919 electoral roll -
[ID: an electoral roll listing that reads - Devereux, Sophia Petrie, 33 Wanda rd., Caulfield, clerk, F. /End ID]
Ooh, Wanda Road is now some lovely little two-storey houses with little gardens - tho they’re definitely not original to Sophia’s time. Well, the wooden bungalow-y sort of ones further down might be, idk, but there’s a lot of new brick there. Also a lot of trees!
-
4 - Last but not least, and possibly my favourite if only because of her husband’s name - Sophia Devereux, born in Arsley Bedfordshire, married to one Offspring Devereux. No that is not a typo, that is his actual name.
[ID: part of a 1851 census, which shows Offspring Devereux, a 23 year old agricultural labourer, and his wife Sophia, age 21. They are listed as son and daughter in law of the head of the household, John Green, indicating that either Offspring or Sophia is the child of his wife Ann. /End ID]
I’ve done a bit of a search and I think that Sophia’s maiden name is Crouch, and she might be Ann’s daughter from a previous-previous marriage. Or she’s been adopted and kept her surname. All a bit convoluted.
Ah, yep - Sophy, as she was on her marriage and her baptism records - her parents were Edward and Ann Crouch. She was born in 1829, in Arlesey, it is now.
In later censuses, Sophia is a straw plaiter - that is, plaiting up straw strands to make into hats and things - because agricultural labour, then as now, doesn’t pay very well, and Sophia and Offspring (also a shepherd at times) had an eventual six children to feed.
Sophia died in Biggleswade, Bedfordshire (which is such an incredibly English-sounding place name) in 1890, age 60.
Offspring is not a common name, unsurprisingly, but there have been at least 7 Offsprings born in Bedfordshire - our one was born in the mid-1820s, but there was an Offspring Webb born around 1810, again in Arlsey - he doesn’t appear to have given any of his sons his own name, but one of his daughters is called Fanny - oh, no, wait, his youngest child is called Offspring, never mind
Did they run out of names?? This is so much worse than my uncle Redvers. Like, why?? Also, surely their wives didn’t call them ‘Offspring’, surely not

Le P.C. et le B.P.
Le printemps venu, de nouveaux loisirs devinrent à la mode, et les journées plus longues offrirent de longs après-midi pour le travail, ou pour des jeux de toutes sortes. Le jardin devait être remis en ordre, et chaque sœur avait à sa disposition un quart de la petite parcelle pour y faire ce qui lui chantait. Hannah avait coutume de dire, « Je saurais à qui est chaque jardin, même si je les voyais en Chine » ; ce qui aurait bien été possible, car les goûts des filles étaient aussi différents que l'étaient leurs caractères. Meg avait dans sa parcelle des roses, de l'héliotrope, du myrte et un petit oranger. Le lopin de Jo n'était jamais le même d'une année sur l'autre, car elle était toujours en train de faire des expériences ; cette année ce serait une plantation de tournesols, plante gaie et ambitieuse dont les graines nourriraient « Tante Cot-Cot » et sa famille. Beth avait dans son jardin des fleurs odorantes et désuètes ; pois de senteur et réséda, pieds d'alouette, œillets, pensées, et de la citronnelle, ainsi que du mouron pour son oiseau et de l'herbe à chats pour les minets. Amy avait un pandoréa jasmin - plutôt petit et truffé de perce-oreilles, mais très joli à regarder - ainsi que du chèvrefeuille et des belles-de-jour qui laissaient pendre leurs cornes et leurs corolles colorées en arabesques gracieuses ; de grands lys blancs, des fougères délicates, et le plus grand nombre possible de fleurs éclatantes et pittoresques qui consentaient à éclore dans son jardin.
Jardinage, promenades, canotage sur la rivière, et cueillette de fleurs occupaient les belles journées ; et pour les jours pluvieux, elles avaient des jeux à la maison -certains anciens, d'autres nouveaux - tous plus ou moins originaux. L'un de ces jeux était le « P.C. », car, les sociétés secrètes étant à la mode, il était considéré de bon ton d'en avoir une ; et, comme toutes les filles admiraient Dickens, elle se nommèrent le Pickwick Club. En dépit de quelques interruptions, elles y jouaient depuis maintenant un an, et se réunissaient chaque samedi dans le grand grenier. En ces occasions, les cérémonies se déroulaient ainsi : Trois chaises étaient arrangées en rang devant une table, sur laquelle se trouvait une lampe, ainsi que quatre bandeaux blancs sur lesquels se lisait, en quatre couleurs différentes, « P.C. », et le journal hebdomadaire, le « Pickwick Portfolio», auquel toutes contribuaient à leur façon. Jo, qui adorait les plumes et l'encre, en était l'éditeur. À sept heures du soir, les quatre membres montaient dans la salle du club, nouaient leur bandeau autour de leur tête, et prenaient place solennellement. Meg, en tant qu'aînée, était Samuel Picwick ; Jo, vu ses tendances littéraires, Augustus Snodgrass ; Beth, pour sa rondeur et ses joues roses, était Tracy Tupman ; et Amy, qui essayait toujours de faire ce qu'elle ne pouvait pas faire, était Nathaniel Winkle. Pickwick, le Président, lisait le journal, qui était plein d'histoires originales, de poèmes, de nouvelles locales, réclames amusantes, et de suggestions, dans lesquelles elles se rappelaient les unes les autres leurs défauts avec bonne humeur. En une occasion, Mr. Pickwick mit une paire de lunettes sans verre, tambourina sur la table, s'éclaircit la gorge, et, après avoir jeté un regard noir à Mr. Snodgrass, qui se balançait sur sa chaise, jusqu'à ce qu'il s'asseye proprement, commença à lire -
"The Pickwick Portfolio"
10 MAI 18-
Le Coin des Poètes
ODE ANNIVERSAIRE
Nous nous retrouvons avec solennité
et nos bandeaux, pour célébrer
Notre cinquante-deuxième anniversaire,
Ce soir à Pickwick Hall.
Nous sommes tous en parfaite santé,
La petite bande est au complet ;
Nous retrouvons chaque visage familier,
Et serrons chaque main avec amitié.
Nous le saluons avec révérence,
Fidèle au poste, notre Pickwick,
Tandis qu'il lit, lunettes sur le nez,
Notre gazette bien remplie.
Bien qu'il soit enrhumé,
Nous nous réjouissons de l'entendre,
Car toujours ses paroles sont sages
En dépit de son ton nasillard.
Du haut de son mètre quatre-vingt,
Avec une grâce peu banale,
Snodgrass éclaire la compagnie
De son visage brun et jovial.
Le feu poétique brille dans son œil
Il lutte contre sa destinée ;
L'ambition se lit son front,
Et il a une tache sur le nez !
Puis vient notre paisible Tupman,
Si rose, et rond et tendre,
Qui s'étouffe de rire aux bons mots,
Et en tombe de son siège.
Le petit Winkle est là aussi,
Guindé, chaque cheveu en place,
Un modèle de convenance,
Bien qu'il ne se lave pas la face.
L'année passée, nous nous réunissons encore
Pour plaisanter et rire et lire,
Et suivre la voie littéraire
Qui conduit à la gloire.
Longue et belle vie à notre journal,
Que notre club reste uni,
Et que l'avenir soit propice
À l'utile, au joyeux "P.C."

LE MARIAGE MASQUÉ
Un Conte Vénitien
Gondoles après gondoles glissaient jusqu'au perron de marbre, et laissaient leurs charges ravissantes gonfler la foule brillante qui emplissait les halls majestueux du Comte d'Adelon. Chevaliers et gentes dames, elfes et pages, moines et marchandes de fleurs, tous se mêlaient gaiement à la danse. De douces voix et de riches mélodies emplissaient l'air, ainsi en joie et en musique se déroulait la mascarade.
« Votre Altesse a-t-elle vu Lady Viola ce soir ? » demanda un galant troubadour à la reine des fées à son bras.
« Oui, n'est-elle pas charmante, mais si triste ! Et sa robe est bien choisie, car dans une semaine elle épouse le Comte Antonio, qu'elle déteste.
— Ma foi je l'envie. Le voici venir, en atours de marié, si ce n'est pour son masque noir. Quand il l'enlèvera nous pourrons voir comment il regarde la jeune fille dont il ne peut gagner le cœur, bien que son père lui ait accordé sa main, répondit le troubadour.
— L'on chuchote qu'elle aime le jeune artiste anglais qui hante son parvis, et que le vieux comte a éconduit, » dit la dame tandis qu'ils se joignaient à la danse.
Les réjouissances étaient à leur comble quand un prêtre apparut, et, attirant le jeune couple dans une alcôve tendue de velours pourpre, leur fit signe de s'agenouiller. Le silence tomba instantanément sur la joyeuse assemblée, et pas un son, hormis le gazouillis des fontaines ou le bruissement des orangers endormis dans le clair de lune, ne se fit entendre, lorsque parla le Comte d'Adelon :
« Mes seigneurs et gentes dames ; pardonnez la ruse par laquelle je vous ai réunis pour assister au mariage de ma fille. Mon père, veuillez officier. »
Tous les yeux se tournèrent vers la noce, et un murmure d'étonnement parcourut la foule, car ni la mariée ni le marié ne retirèrent leurs masques. Curiosité et interrogations emplissaient les cœurs, mais le respect lia toutes les langues jusqu'à la fin du rite sacré. Alors les spectateurs s'empressèrent autour du comte, demandant une explication.
« Je vous la procurerais volontiers si je le pouvais, mais je sais seulement que c'était le caprice de ma timide Viola, et je m'y suis plié. Maintenant, mes enfants, assez de cette mascarade. Démasquez-vous, et recevez ma bénédiction. »
Mais aucun des deux ne plia le genou ; car le jeune marié, alors que le masque tombait, révélant le noble visage de Ferdinand Devereux, l'artiste amoureux, et que s'appuyait sur sa poitrine, ornée maintenant de l'étoile d'un duc anglais, la charmante Viola, rayonnante de joie et de beauté, répondit sur un ton qui surprit toute l'audience :
« Mon Seigneur, avec mépris vous m'avez commandé de prétendre à votre fille quand je pourrais me targuer propriétaire d'un titre égal et d'une fortune aussi vaste que le Comte Antonio. Je peux faire mieux, car même votre âme ambitieuse ne peut refuser le Duc de Devereux et De Vere, quand il offre son ancien nom et sa richesse sans limite contre la main bien-aimée de cette gente dame, à présent ma femme. »
Le comte resta stupéfait, comme changé en pierre, et, se tournant vers la foule en délire, Ferdinand ajouta avec un gai sourire de triomphe, « À vous, mes galants amis, je ne peux que souhaiter que vos amours prospèrent aussi bien que les miens, et que vous trouviez femme aussi belle que celle que j'ai gagnée, par ce mariage masqué. »

En quoi le P.C. est-il comme la Tour de Babel ? Il est plein de membres indisciplinés.
L'HISTOIRE D'UNE COURGE
Il était une fois un fermier qui planta une petite graine dans son jardin, et après un moment elle germa et devint une plante, porteuse de nombreuses courges. Un jour d'octobre, quand elles furent mûres, il en choisit une et la porta au marché. Un épicier l'acheta et la mit dans son magasin. Le même jour, une petite fille, avec un chapeau brun et une robe bleue, avec un visage rond et un nez retroussé, vint et l'acheta pour sa mère. Elle la porta jusqu'à la maison, la coupa, et la fit bouillir dans le grand pot ; en écrasa une partie, avec du sel et du beurre, pour dîner ; et au reste elle ajouta une pinte de lait, deux œufs, quatre cuillerées de sucre, de la muscade et quelques biscuits ; versa le tout dans un grand plat, et le fit cuire jusqu'à ce qu'il soit bien doré ; et le jour suivant ce plat fut mangé par la famille March.

Respectablement vôtre, N. Winkle

UN TRISTE ACCIDENT
Vendredi dernier, nous fûmes alertés par un choc violent dans notre cave, suivi de cris de détresse. En nous précipitant comme un seul homme dans le cellier, nous découvrîmes notre Président prostré sur le sol, ayant glissé et étant tombé en allant chercher du bois à des fins domestiques. Une parfaite scène de désolation s'offrit à nos yeux ; car dans sa chute Mr. Pickwick avait plongé la tête et les épaules dans un baquet d'eau, renversé un bidon de savon liquide sur ses formes masculines, et vilainement déchiré ses vêtements. Une fois secouru de cette périlleuse situation, il apparut qu'il ne souffrait d'aucune blessure à l'exception de plusieurs bleus ; et, nous sommes heureux d'ajouter qu'il se porte maintenant bien.
ED
AVIS DE DISPARITION
Il est de notre pénible devoir de reporter la soudaine et mystérieuse disparition de notre chère amie, Mrs. Boule-de-Neige Pattounette. Cette chatte charmante et aimée était la chérie d'un cercle d'amis chaleureux et admirateurs ; car sa beauté attirait tous les yeux, ses qualités et ses vertus la rendaient chère à tous les cœurs, et sa perte affecte profondément la communauté toute entière.
Elle a été vue pour la dernière fois assise devant la porte, en train de surveiller le chariot du boucher ; et il est à craindre que quelque vilain, tenté par ses charmes, l'ait bassement volée. Les semaines ont passé, mais nulle trace d'elle n'a été découverte ; et nous abandonnons tout espoir, nouons un ruban noir à son panier, rangeons son assiette, et la pleurons comme perdue à jamais.
Un ami compatissant nous envoie la gemme suivante :
LAMENTATION
POUR B.N. PATTOUNETTE
Nous pleurons la perte de notre petite chérie,
Et déplorons son triste destin,
Car plus jamais elle ne se tiendra près du feu
Ni ne jouera près de la porte verte.
La petite tombe où dort son enfant
Est près du châtaignier,
Mais sur sa tombe nous ne pouvons pleurer,
Nous ne savons pas où elle est
Son lit vide, sa balle immobile,
Plus jamais ne la reverront ;
Ni bruit de pattes, ni doux ronron,
Ne se font entendre à l'entrée du parloir
Une autre chatte chasse ses souris,
Son vilain museau d'un noir de suie,
Mais elle ne chasse pas comme notre chérie
Ni ne joue avec sa grâce aérienne.
Ses pattes discrètes parcourent le même hall
Où Boule-de-Neige souvent jouait,
Mais elle ne fait que cracher sur les chiens
Que notre chérie si vaillamment chassait
Elle est utile et docile, et fait de son mieux,
Mais n'est pas belle à voir ;
Et nous ne pouvons lui donner ta place, amour,
Ou l'adorer comme nous t'adorons.
A.S.
ANNONCES
MISS ORANTHY BLUGGAGE, l'oratrice accomplie à l'esprit fort, donnera sa fameuse conférence sur « LA FEMME ET SA POSITION, » à Pickwick Hall, samedi soir, après la séance habituelle.
UNE RÉUNION HEBDOMADAIRE se tiendra Place de la Cuisine, pour apprendre aux jeunes dames à cuisiner. Hannah Brown présidera, et tous sont conviés à y assister.
LA SOCIÉTÉ DE LA PELLE À POUSSI��RE se réunira mercredi prochain, et paradera à l'étage du Club-House. Tous les membres doivent se présenter en uniforme et le balai sur l'épaule à neuf heures précises.
MRS. BETH BOUNCER présentera son nouvel assortiment de Chapellerie pour Poupées la semaine prochaine. Les dernières modes de Paris sont arrivées, et des commandes sont respectueusement sollicitées.

SUGGESTIONS.
Si S.P. n'utilisait pas tant de savon pour se laver les mains, il ne serait pas toujours en retard pour le petit-déjeuner. Il est demandé à A.S. de ne pas siffler dans la rue. T.T. s'il vous plaît n'oubliez pas la serviette d'Amy. N.W. ne doit pas se tracasser parce que sa robe n'a pas neuf plis.
RAPPORT HEBDOMADAIRE
Meg - Bien
Jo - Mauvais
Beth - Très bien
Amy - Moyen
Quand le Président eut fini de lire le journal (qui est, je vous prie de me croire, une copie authentique d'un journal écrit par d'authentiques jeunes filles il y a bien longtemps), des applaudissements retentirent, et puis Mr. Snodgrass se leva pour faire une proposition.
« Monsieur le Président et gentlemen, » commença-t-il en adoptant une attitude et un ton parlementaire, « je souhaite proposer l'admission d'un nouveau membre ; quelqu'un de hautement méritant de cet honneur, qui en serait profondément reconnaissant, et ajouterait énormément à l'esprit du club, à la valeur littéraire de son journal, et serait infiniment gai et gentil. Je propose Mr. Theodore Laurence comme membre honoraire du P.C. Allez, prenons-le. »
Le changement de ton soudain de Jo fit rire les filles, mais elles avaient toutes l'air plutôt anxieuses, et aucune ne dit mot, tandis que Snodgrass se rasseyait.
« Nous allons mettre ce projet aux voix, dit le Président. Tous ceux en faveur de la motion sont priés de se manifester en disant "Oui." »
Un oui retentissant de Snodgrass, suivi, à la surprise de tout le monde, par un timide oui de Beth.
« Ceux qui s'y opposent disent "Non." »
Meg et Amy s'y opposaient ; et Mr. Winkle se leva pour dire, avec une grande élégance, « Nous ne souhaitons pas de garçons ; ils ne font que plaisanter et chahuter. C'est un club de dames, et nous voulons rester entre nous, et être convenables.
— J'ai peur qu'il ne rie de notre journal, et se moque de nous après, » observa Pickwick, en tiraillant la petite boucle qui tombait sur son front, comme elle le faisait toujours quand elle se trouvait dans le doute.
Snodgrass bondit sur ses pieds, avec beaucoup de sérieux. « Sir ! Je vous donne ma parole de gentleman que Laurie ne fera rien de la sorte. Il aime écrire, et il donnera un ton à nos contributions, et nous empêchera de faire dans le sentimental, ne voyez-vous pas ? Nous pouvons faire si peu pour lui, je pense que le moins que nous puissions faire est de lui offrir une place ici, et bien l'accueillir, s'il vient. »
Cette ingénieuse allusion aux avantages conférés fit se lever Tupman, l'air bien décidé.
« Oui, nous devons le faire, même si nous avons peur. Je dis qu'il peut venir, et son grand-père aussi, s'il le veut. »
Cette tirade fougueuse de Beth électrifia le club, et Jo quitta son siège pour lui serrer la main avec approbation. « Maintenant, votons à nouveau. Souvenez-vous qu'il s'agit de notre Laurie, et dites "Oui" !
— Oui ! Oui ! Oui ! répondirent trois voix en même temps.
— Bien ! Soyez bénies ! Maintenant, comme il n'y a rien tel que "saisir location" ainsi que le fait remarquer Winkle, permettez-moi de vous présenter le nouveau membre, » et, au désarroi du reste du club, Jo ouvrit en grand la porte du placard, et découvrit Laurie assis sur un sac de chiffons, les joues rouges et les yeux brillants d'un rire réprimé.
« Canaille ! Traître ! Jo, comment as-tu pu ? » s'écrièrent les trois filles, tandis que Snodgrass faisait triomphalement avancer son ami, et, faisant apparaître une chaise et un bandeau, l'installait en un tour de main.
« Vous ne manquez pas de toupet, vous deux, » commença Meg en essayant d'afficher une moue réprobatrice, et ne réussissant qu'à produire un aimable sourire. Mais le nouveau membre se montra à la hauteur de la situation ; et, se levant avec un salut reconnaissant envers la Présidence, dit de la manière la plus engageante, « Monsieur le Président et mesdames - je vous demande pardon, gentlemen - permettez-moi de me présenter en tant que Sam Weller, le très humble serviteur du club.
— Bien, bien ! » s'écria Jo en martelant le plancher avec le manche de la vieille bassinoire, sur laquelle elle s'appuyait.
« Mon fidèle ami et noble parrain, » poursuivit Laurie, avec un geste de la main, « qui m'a présenté de manière si flatteuse, n'est pas à blâmer pour le stratagème de ce soir. Je l'ai planifié, et elle n'a accepté qu'après bien des taquineries.
— Allez, ne prends pas tout sur toi ; tu sais que j'ai proposé le placard, » intervint Snodgrass, qui s'amusait immensément de la plaisanterie.
« N'écoutez pas ce qu'elle dit. Je suis le seul coupable, sir, » dit le nouveau membre avec un hochement de tête Welleresque à l'intention de Pickwick. « Mais sur mon honneur, je ne le referai jamais, et me déwoue dorénavant aux intérêts de ce club immortel.
— Bien parlé ! Bien parlé ! » s'écria Jon en faisant claquer le couvercle de la bassinoire comme une cymbale.
« Poursuivez, poursuivez ! » ajoutèrent Winkle et Tupman, tandis que le Président saluait avec bienveillance.
« Je souhaite seulement dire, qu'en gage de ma gratitude pour l'honneur qui m'est fait, et afin de promouvoir les relations amicales entre nations voisines, j'ai installé un bureau de poste dans la haie au fond du jardin ; un bel et grand édifice, aux portes cadenassées, et tout ce qu'il faut pour le courrier. C'est le vieux nichoir des hirondelles, mais j'ai bloqué la porte, et fait en sorte que le toit s'ouvre, pour qu'elle puisse contenir toutes sortes de choses et nous faire gagner un temps précieux. Lettres, manuscrits, livres et paquets peuvent y loger ; et, comme chaque nation a sa clef, ce sera extraordinairement agréable, je gage. Permettez-moi de vous présenter la clef du club ; et, avec bien des remerciements pour votre faveur, de prendre mon siège. »
Un tonnerre d'applaudissements retentit quand Mr. Weller déposa la petite clef sur la table, et se prolongea ; la bassinoire fit un tapage de tous les diables, et il s'écoula quelque temps avant que le calme ne revienne. Une longue discussion suivit, et toutes furent étonnamment ouvertes, car toutes firent de leur mieux ; aussi ce fut une réunion exceptionnellement agitée, qui ne se termina qu'à une heure tardive, sur trois hourras pour le nouveau membre.
Personne ne regretta jamais l'admission de Sam Weller, car aucun club n'aurait pu avoir de membre plus dévoué, mieux élevé et plus jovial. Il ajouta en effet de « l'esprit » aux réunions, et un « ton » au journal, car ses discours tordaient de rire son audience et ses contributions étaient excellentes, patriotiques, classiques, comiques, ou dramatiques, mais jamais sentimentales. Jo les estimait dignes de Bacon, Milton ou Shakespeare, et retravailla ses propres œuvres, avec de bons résultats, pensait-elle.
Le B.P. était une petite institution épatante, et prospéra merveilleusement, car il y passa presque autant de choses étranges que dans un vrai bureau de poste. Tragédies et écharpes, poésies et légumes marinés, graines et longues lettres, partitions et pain d'épices, gommes, invitations, remontrances et chiots. Le vieux gentleman s'en amusait lui-même en envoyant d'étranges paquets, de mystérieux messages et d'amusants télégrammes ; et son jardinier, qui était tombé sous le charme d'Hannah, envoya une lettre d'amour aux bons soins de Jo. Comme elles rirent quand le secret fut éventé, sans imaginer le nombre de lettres d'amour que ce petit bureau de poste abriterait dans les années à venir !

1800-1849
This is part of a series in which I am posting clips of my larger project by decade as I finish them. For more about this project, or to ask me to include your doll or OC, check out my pinned post.
Previous posts:
17th century
1700-1739
1740-1769
1770-1799
The OCs in this post that are mine are Charlotte and Jane, Rachel and Abigail, and Hannah and Delia (they're in pairs because I did the Best Friends series based on @americangirlstar's suggestions, and in the process created a Best Friend for each of my own characters). Héloise and Aoife belong to @autistickirstenlarson, Violette belongs to @getintothesun, and Charlotte belongs to @gardner-n-pardner.
While putting together previous installations I became aware that I have the birth dates wrong for several of the canon characters. I'm planning a redo for the canon character set, eventually, so please do let me know if I'm wrong about anyone. I might already know, but since I have pretty severe dyscalculia as well as ADHD it's not bad to have the info available in multiple places.
1800s
Charlotte Finch: 85-94 Jane Finch: 83-92 Héloise Cormier: 46-55 Kaya'aton'my: 45-54 Speaking Rain: 45-54 Felicity Merriman: 35-44 Elizabeth Cole: 35-44 Rachel Gabay: 20-29 Abigail Schorr: 20-29 Lydia Livingston: 1-10 Caroline Abbott: 0-8
This is it, as narrow as skirts are going to get for about a century. Everyone was really into looking like Greek and Roman statues, so white dresses in drapey fabrics were the rage for young women. Caroline and Lydia are a little young for that style though. Before I decided to add the Best Friends to the project, I put Lydia's dress in Caroline's collection, but then I did make Lydia and made the green dress her meet outfit. Now that I'm thinking about a redo, I want to give Caroline a completely different dress, maybe that also has those sheer sleeves.
1810s
Charlotte Finch: 95-99 Jane Finch: 93-99 Héloise Cormier: 56-65 Kaya'aton'my: 55-64 Speaking Rain: 55-64 Felicity Merriman: 45-54 Elizabeth Cole: 45-54 Rachel Gabay: 30-39 Abigail Schorr: 30-39 Lydia Livingston: 11-20 Caroline Abbott: 9-18 Clara Montoya: 0-7 Josefina Montoya: 0-5
The switch from wearing their skirts calf-length with visible pantalettes to ankle-length might have been an exciting growing-up moment for Caroline and Lydia. At the same time, the silhouettes are getting less flowy with stiffer fabrics and little puffs on the sleeves. Meanwhile, in New Mexico, I gave Clara styles based on illustrations of Ana and Francisca as well as leftovers from Josefina's collection, and then afterward decided to do a siblings series, so...whoops again, I guess.
1820s
Héloise Cormier: 66-75 Kaya'aton'my: 65-74 Speaking Rain: 65-74 Felicity Merriman: 55-64 Elizabeth Cole: 55-64 Rachel Gabay: 40-49 Abigail Schorr: 40-49 Lydia Livingston: 21-30 Caroline Abbott: 19-28 Clara Montoya: 8-17 Josefina Montoya: 6-15 Hannah Kane: 0-5 Delia Freedman: 0-5 Violette Metoyer: 0-5
The early Regency was all about long, narrow lines, but now the width is coming back, along with growing sleeve puffs and lots of horizontal lines. Frills, lace, and bows are starting to show up on skirts, and hairstyles are starting to get tall again. It's coincidence that @getintothesun's Violette is the same age as my Hannah and Delia, but drawing them together is turning out to be a fun exercise: Hannah and Delia are comparatively plainly-dressed kids, appropriate to their hardworking lives on the Erie Canal, while Violette has a richness in her wardrobe that works with her comfortable life in the Louisiana warmth.
1830s
Héloise Cormier: 76-85 Kaya'aton'my: 75-84 Speaking Rain: 75-84 Felicity Merriman: 65-74 Elizabeth Cole: 65-74 Rachel Gabay: 50-59 Abigail Schorr: 50-59 Lydia Livingston: 31-40 Caroline Abbott: 29-38 Clara Montoya: 18-27 Josefina Montoya: 16-25 Hannah Kane: 6-15 Delia Freedman: 6-15 Violette Metoyer: 6-15 Aoife Callaghan: 0-3
This decade for the first time we have two members of the @autistickirstenlarson extended universe in play! Each of her characters has a strong color palette for their collection: not every outfit incorporates the theme colors, but enough do to feel like the character herself has a preference. For Héloise, the go-to colors are blue and brown. For Aoife it's green and cream.
1840s
Héloise Cormier: 86-95 Kaya'aton'my: 85-94 Speaking Rain: 85-94 Felicity Merriman: 75-84 Elizabeth Cole: 75-84 Rachel Gabay: 60-69 Abigail Schorr: 60-69 Lydia Livingston: 41-50 Caroline Abbott: 39-48 Clara Montoya: 28-37 Josefina Montoya: 26-35 Hannah Kane: 16-25 Delia Freedman: 16-25 Violette Metoyer: 16-25 Aoife Callaghan: 4-13 Cecile Rey: 0-7 Marie-Grace Gardner: 0-7 Kirsten Larson: 0-5 Singing Bird: 0-5 Charlotte Devereux: 0
I struggled a lot with finding accurate, non-exoticizing references for Singing Bird, as I did for Kaya and Speaking Rain. As a result, it feels necessary to include a disclaimer to the effect that this project should not be viewed as an accurate source for Nimiipuu, Salish, or Lakota clothing. Please do not cite me as a reference. While it was easy to find examples of modern-day Nimiipuu , Salish, and Lakota regalia, and there are photos of individual garments from the 18th and 19th centuries on display in museums, it was hard to get a feel for what an outfit might accurately have looked like, without entering into a level of research that would have been way beyond the scope of this project. That said, I do intend to eventually go back and redo the canon characters, so if someone seeing this does have access to and familiarity with good 18th and 19th century Nimiipuu, Salish, and Lakota clothing references, and the time and patience to share it with me, I will absolutely use them in the redo. For now, please know that the probable inaccuracies in my drawings of these characters are not intended as disrespect, and as always I am open to knowledgeable correction.
As always, to get your historical doll or OC included in this project, HERE'S THE LINK. Obviously if your doll is from earlier than the 1840s they'll have to wait for the next round of drawings, but you're welcome to put them in the form.

Title: thunder and lightning, it's getting exciting || Carousel of Horror (group announcement) Published: July 3, 2016 | 6:25am Description:
☛ Title: lyrics from "You are the only one" by Sergei Lazarev ☛ Tags: #carouselinfo ________________________________ Hello everyone, once again, I am your new mod Telperion, aka @/clarapond. Before I continue, the co-mod position is still available, just pm me and we can talk. ALSO, if you any ideas or suggestions for things you'd like to see in the group, please feel to pm me. I'd love to work with everyone.
Anyway, welcome to Carousel of Horror 2.0. Although the group was originally conceived under the idea of a new storyline/plot line every week or so, I'm assuming based on the format of American Horror Story, I am changing it to one consistent story which will unfold over the course of around 10 contests, each lasting 1 - 2 weeks plus a few extensions as we find necessary.
Luckily, due to the format of the original audition form, no one will need to change anything about their oc's, and fit perfectly well into the plot. (Yes, I read through everyone's auditions, cool characters guys), having said that, if you want to, you can create a new oc, just let me know so that I can free up your face claim for someone else.
Now, for the points, I will not be removing any individual points, since it's unfair to those who did the work and participated, however, there will be new groups, I'll list my recommended sections below, but feel free to pm me if you want to be somewhere else.
I'm considering adding a fifth group, but for now, the groups are: - Unsuspecting Guests - Hunters and Investigators - Supernatural Lodgers - Luxurious Patrons
And I recommend the following: †Unsuspecting Guests †✦ Total Points: 145 ✦ ✯ Emily Cooper {Christina Aguilera} || @/jillinchen || 50 ✯ Audra Deale {Emilia Clarke} || @/bainidhe || 10 ✯ Dream Oswald {Jenna Coleman} || @/hannah-raes || 50 ✯ Isabella Park {Emily Rudd} || @/the-forgotten-wolf } || 00 ✯ Arthur Norton {Hugh Grant} || @/dunder-mifflin || 00 ✯ Michelle Cambers {Britney Spears} || @/sallimander || 35
☼ Hunters and Investigators ☼ ✦ Total Points: 55 ✦ ✯ Bellona Latimer {Helena Bonham-Carter} || @/delusionsbybonnie || 45 ✯ Christopher Rivers {Dan Stevens} || @/omega-phoenix-force || 00 ✯ Mihail Vasilevich Kuryakin {Sebastian Stan} || @/hermionelhoranholmes || 10 ✯ ✯
☽ Supernatural Lodgers ☾ ✦ Total Points: 80 ✦ ✯ Cassidy Black {Amber Heard} || @/the-iron-brat || 20 ✯ Luna Dante {Crystal Reed} || @/natasha-maree13 || 60 ✯ ✯ ✯
♔ Luxurious Patrons ♔ ✦ Total Points: 20 ✦ ✯ Vincent Addison {Sean O'Pry} || @/decoder13 || 10 ✯ Andre Duval {The Rock} || @/sakuuya || 10 ✯ Oliver Martin {Tom Hiddleston} || @/brofeysons || 00 ✯ Sadie Prudence {Marina Diamandis} || @/the-puppeteer-patient-120402 || 00 ✯ Dr. Gerard Turner, DDS {Garrett Hedlund} || @/trulydear || 00
I'd like for these members to get back to me, because I really wasn't sure exactly where to place their oc's (of course, everyone can still make changes and etc if they want, just let me know in the comments, or pm me)
- Melinda Malone {Michelle Trachtenburg} || @/carousel1039 || 10 - James Grant {Charlie Cox} || @/voumuio || 00 - Emilia Rogers {Emma Roberts} || @/intergalatic-sparkles || 00 - Olivia Grey {Taylor Swift} || @/brendol || 00 - Anton Prescott {Arthur Gosse} || @/myghostyfriend || 00 - Karen Lei {Estelle Chen} || @/inner-demons-never-win || 10 - Suzy Ashton {Jade Thompson} || @/ezmeerose || 10 - Stella Devereux (@/general-sux, I couldn't find your audition so please send me a link to it, or tag me in it) || 10
And here is where you can find the new plot: http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=202420360 __________________________________________ Group Members: [removed for tumblr convenience]

So I’ve looked up people called Parker
in line with my Sophie Devereux post last night
there were more people called “Parker Parker” than I thought there might be - most of them appear to be farmer’s daughters - but this listing made me laugh
[ID: part of a 1871 census for England, showing the head of the household is 72 year old Hannah Tiller, and her lodger, 25 year old Parker. Parker is a woman, age 25 and of unknown occupation and birthplace. There appears to be a blank space left for her first name, though ‘Parker’ is written further over than ‘Tiller’ above, so perhaps this is not the case, and she simply has one name /End ID]
#research#we just don't know anything about her#haha#alright lets see how many alec hardisons i can find now#ooh i could look in america too

Homo sapiens es una oda a la humanidad vista desde un escenario futuro posible. Tiene la intención de afilar nuestra visión sobre nuestra actualidad y desarrollar una conciencia sobre el presente Jueves 17 de enero, 20:00 h
CINEFORO UDEG. Av. Juárez esq. Enrique Díaz de León, piso -1. T/3826-7297. Boleto: $45 general; $30 miércoles general y universitarios con credencial. www.cineforo.udg.mx DRAMA EL INFILTRADO DEL KKKLAN D: SPIKE LEE Estados Unidos, 2018. d: 120 min. En los Estados Unidos de los años 70, Ron Stallworth se convierte en el primer detective afroamericano del departamento de policía de una ciudad en Colorado. Cuando una misión lo lleva a infiltrarse en el Ku Klux Klan, será ayudado por Flip, uno de sus colegas, quien se hace pasar por él en las reuniones de la organización. Con el hilarante y fustigador estilo que ha caracterizado su obra, el más reciente largometraje del veterano cineasta Spike Lee ofrece un inquebrantable examen a la realidad de las relaciones raciales en su país. Basada en una historia real, la película resulta una fábula que hila drama policiaco, comedia, sarcasmo y un manifiesto político contra el racismo en la actualidad Viernes 11 y sábado 12, 15:40, 18:00, 20:20 h DRAMA HANNAH D: Andrea Pallaoro.

La soberbia interpretación de la actriz Charlotte Rampling guía el segundo largometraje del italiano Andrea Pallaoro, el cual se define como un retrato íntimo sobre la pérdida de identidad de una mujer que oscila entre la negación y la realidad. A través de una narrativa contemplativa que explora la personalidad fracturada y la pérdida de autocontrol de Hannah, la película reflexiona sobre la alienación social Domingo 13 y lunes 14, 16:00, 18:00, 20:00 h DRAMA BUSCANDO A INGMAR BERGMAN D: Margarethe von Trotta, con Felix Moeller y Bettina Böhler País Alemania-Francia, 2018. d: 120 min. El primer ejercicio de no-ficción de la actriz y directora Margarethe von Trotta es un acercamiento a la vida y obra del prominente director sueco Ingmar Bergman, cuyo quehacer artístico fue ampliamente alabado por la crítica internacional debido a su osadía discursiva y a la constante innovación formal que produjo a lo largo de una filmografía integrada por más de 70 títulos. Martes 15 y miércoles 16, 16:00, 18:00, 20:00 h DRAMA EL LIBRO DE LAS IMÁGENES D: Jean-Luc Godard. Suiza, 2018. d: 120 min. ¿Aún recuerdas cómo solíamos entrenar nuestro pensamiento? Casi siempre comenzábamos a partir de un sueño. Nos preguntábamos cómo pueden surgir en nosotros colores tan intensos en la oscuridad. No hay más que silencio. Nada excepto una canción revolucionaria. Con este tipo de reflexiones filosóficas se hilvana el más reciente largometraje de Jean-Luc Godard. Jueves 17, 16:00, 18:00, 20:00 h
