“The ostrich boots I found in Texas at a local spot near the boarder. The pants are thrifted and by Alessandro Vasini, the sweater is from a consignment shop in San Francisco. The jacket was a friend’s who got it from a friend— if you couldn’t tell, I love carrying stories. I got the glasses from my favorite vintage pop up that happens twice a year. Earrings are from a thrift store in Brooklyn. The artist likes to give his creations to them, they give me a call, and I swing by the next day. My style inspiration? I used to watch Pootie Tang with my grandparents on the only tv they had when I would spend summers in Mississippi. That with a dash of how my Detroit uncles and a hint of old Chicago. It’s all a reflection of where I’ve been. I buy pieces that call my name then rely on how I’m feeling that day to orchestrate the rest.“

It happened AGAIN: a Facebook page with 83,000+ followers, "Attire's Mind," ripped off the content of one of my dress history posts.
Compare my 1840s readymade men's wear post with the inferior copy (that omits sources and links).
Today it was the Paris Musées redingote post. Notice how "Attire's Mind" uses my image edits (again), and also eliminates my citation while loosely copying the text.
If you are blogging about dress history here, especially if you are a small and obscure blog like yours truly, check "Attire's Mind" for stolen content.
It is particularly aggravating since he is clearly going the James Somerton route with this: stealing the work of passionate but little-known creatives, and making an inferior version that incidentally removes citations.
