EMILY ALYN LIND at the premiere of “Gossip Girl” Season 2 on December 1st 2022 wearing ALESSANDRA RICH

I really like Emily’s look for the “Gossip Girl” Season 2 premiere. I think the dress was very sleek and mature. The sideways buttons really added a cool element and I loved the sleeves. It was a simple look that really looked great.

𝑅𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑜𝑚 𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑟𝑎𝑑 @unitcd bc I can.

𝐼𝑡'𝑠 𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑙𝑖𝑘𝑒 𝑠𝘩𝑒 𝘩𝑎𝑑 𝑎𝑛𝑦𝑡𝘩𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑒𝑙𝑠𝑒 𝑡𝑜 𝑑𝑜, and her father gave her a house. A house to say 'I'm sorry'. A house to say ' Good for you for getting good grades'. A house to say 'sorry I married your mother'. Really , it could say anything because after all it's not like many words came out of her father's mouth.

All of her 'friends' were off doing their own thing this summer. She wishes she had known that before offering the invites, but here she is watching the beachy reindeer games. There are rumors as people talk especially those around their ages. She knows more about the people around here before even knowing their first names.

And it's not like Audrey has anything to lose here, so she turns her attention from her book to Conrad.

" You know, with how you've been looking at her I'm surprised Chris Hansen hasn't jumped out of a bush with his camera crew by now."

What business of it is hers? It's not, she's just...observant.

A Deep Dive Into Disney’s Most Underperforming Princess

Princess Aurora can’t even be described as controversial. To most, she’s simply boring, too passive, and a continuation of the bland cycle of white princesses who wait around for magic or a prince to save them. Although no one hates her, they find her irritating at the worst, uninteresting at best. In the fifties, they must have thought the same thing. Sleeping Beauty was a commercial failure, and led to company wide annual loss. Sleeping Beauty had followed several other financial flops, such as Bambi and Alice in Wonderland, the latter costing Disney around half a million dollars. Due to her lack of popularity, Aurora may be one of the most neglected Princesses. Many cling to her out of nostalgia, or because she has a nice design, and they find it hard to defend their love for the movie. But the movie’s turbulent history and the amount of detail that went into Aurora herself is what really makes her so incredibly fascinating.

Starting with her design, Disney hired Marc Davis as the supervising animator for Aurora. He also animated Maleficent. The intention was for them to be realistic enough to be placed against the heavily detailed backgrounds of the movie. Davis had embraced this artistic direction, while many of the animators found it, and especially Aurora, laborious and tiring to work on. Both Maleficent and Aurora had to be refined and dynamic. Davis was Disney’s go-to animator for ‘pretty girls’, examples being Tinkerbell and Alice. His knowledge of anatomy and the human body brought both Aurora and Cinderella to life, two of Disney’s most visually iconic characters. Davis had also incorporated Art Nouveau and Art Deco into Aurora’s design, while the tapestry-like art style of the movie was chosen by Eyvind Earle, who was inspired by pre-Renaissance European art. The score and songs were based on Tchaikovsky’s ballet.

Aurora alone required more effort and attention to detail than any princess before her. It took Walt Disney and his team three years to choose a voice actress. They nearly scrapped the project until they discovered Mary Costa, but Disney himself avoided interacting with her in person early on in the project, fearing that she’d influence his vision of the movie.

Aurora was loosely based on her voice actress. Her appearance and her habits (such as gesturing when speaking and singing) were both incorporated into Aurora’s animation. She was also drawn to resemble both her live action model, the same one as Cinderella’s, Helene Stanley, and actress Audrey Hepburn. Davis took inspiration from Audrey Hepburn’s slender physique and elegant demeanour.

In the book Multiculturalism and the Mouse: Race and Sex in Disney Entertainment, author Douglas Brode referred to Aurora as “a model of modern (50’s) female glamour” and compared her to Brigitte Bardot. He also compared her gown to the work of Christian Dior.

As a character, she was described by Nerve as being “the apex of women who made no choices for themselves.” Aurora is a member of the “Golden Era” of Disney heroines, the original Princess trifecta. Her dreams are the same as those before her. But it’s possible that Aurora’s dreams of true love derived from the need for companionship outside of her three fairy godmothers.

On their website, Disney describes her as, “graceful and kind. She knows that a wonderful future awaits, if you just have the courage to dream it. Aurora enjoys using her imagination and sharing stories with her forest friends. She is also loyal in her relationships -- to her animal friends, her fairies, and her kingdom. Aurora believes in a wish and remains hopeful that she will find the adventure she is looking for.”

Walt Disney himself described Aurora as being “a very layered character/different. She’s calm, yet playful. She has a sense of humour, and she has an imagination.” We can not argue that she was considered layered through the lens of the fifties, because many critics disliked all three of the original princesses for their passive personality, or lack thereof. But from the perspective of the team working on the show, they saw much more to her.

This was the film that Walt Disney worked his hardest on, it took ten years to complete. It was also the very last Princess film he was involved in. Her ‘layers’ were very much intentional. Disney tried to do the same thing with Cinderella.

With Cinderella, they attempted to make her less passive than Snow White, and they showed this through her rebelling against her abusive stepfamily. Maurice Rapf said, "My thinking was you can't have somebody who comes in and changes everything for you. It can't be delivered for you on a platter. You've got to earn it. So in my version, the Fairy Godmother said, 'It's okay till midnight but from then on it's up to you.' I made her earn it, and what she had to do to achieve it was to rebel against her stepmother and stepsisters, to stop being a slave in her own home. So I had a scene where they're ordering her around and she throws the stuff back at them. She revolts, so they lock her up in the attic. I don't think anyone took (my idea) very seriously."

The toned down version of Cinderella, although rebellious in her own way, is still toned down. That part of her character was written out. In comparison to what she would have been, she is passive. Aurora and Cinderella are both less passive than their predecessors, but passive nonetheless. All three of them are the staple damsels in distress.

However, Mary Costa described Aurora as “very strong”, citing her urge to defy her guardians as a display of independence and an example of her strength. Aurora was raised by three women, and had never met a man in her life. Costa believed that because of this, she was ‘innately romantic’ as opposed to lonely or depressed with her sheltered life. To quote, “there was a certain part of her that maybe she didn’t realise, that was just so romantic and maybe expecting something that–she didn’t even know what.”

She believed that her being raised by three older women rather than her parents made her “a little bit older, and yet, she…had this young, outreaching spirit.” Author Douglas Brode points out that the fairies’ independent raising of Aurora mirrors “precisely that sort of women’s commune numerous feminists experimented with throughout the seventies.” Aurora living in an isolated, female-only space, with female authority, is reminiscent of the bold and liberating radical feminist movement. In her own way, as a peasant, she was independent. And that independence and autonomy was taken from her upon discovering that she was royalty and betrothed to a prince. She was leaving her home and the presumed man of her dreams behind, and not of her own free will.

Aurora had enjoyed her simple life, it had fulfilled her, even if she desired more. She had dreams of finding romantic love, which she talks about in the movie’s song ‘I Wonder’. Additionally, her close relationship with animals demonstrates her loving and kind personality. She has a whimsical imagination, and it’s scenes like the ones from Disney’s Enchanted Tales series and ‘Once Upon a Dream’, that would support Costa’s claim of her being a romantic. Where she’s changing in and out of pretty gowns with a magical wand, and giggling to herself. Or dancing happily with the forest animals, thinking about her imaginary prince. In ‘Keys to the Kingdom’, she proudly sings about wishing to make decisions with her heart.

Her independence is demonstrated on multiple occasions in Disney’s discontinued Enchanted Tales: Follow Your Dreams. Aurora graciously accepts responsibility of her kingdom while both her and Philip’s parents travel away for a business trip. All on her own, she is determined to get all of her Princess duties finished on time, the hard way. She refuses to take the easy way out, time and time again, even when she doubts herself. She works harder than even her father, who would take the easy way out by signing royal documents without reading them. Even when Meriwether gives her a magic wand to help her out, she reads and fills out every royal form diligently, and helps out all of her subjects. She manages to complete her tasks on time and throw a banquet for her family and Philip by the time they return. The lesson here is to ‘stick to it’ and to ‘persevere’. But her insistence on doing everything on her own is shown once again in A Kingdom of Kindness, where she must plan a surprise party for Philip. The three fairies attempt to help her, but she continues to tell them that she wants to do it on her own. This series was cancelled, and it is difficult to find any clips of it online. But this short-series gives us some insight into Aurora’s character.

She is assumed to be the protagonist by most, but many consider the three fairies to be the protagonists. They help move the story along, they protect Aurora, and they have distinct, in-your-face personalities. Many consider Aurora authentic, or the title character, but whether she is the protagonist or not has never been agreed upon. Her lack of role in the story has been criticized by many. But some take it as an allegory for the lack of control

The most lengthy debate surrounding Aurora has to do with how feminist her character is. She may have been an improvement from the previous princesses, but she is not regarded as a particularly feminist character.

The three original princesses, all being pale-skinned European princesses with a naive and endlessly forgiving (an unrealistic standard), sends a message to their viewers that this is what princesses should look like, how they should behave. All three classic princesses are deeply intertwined with Disney’s long history of racism and bigotry. In an attempt to amend this, Disney has released back to back live action remakes of their movies, all receiving mixed reviews. Maleficent was Sleeping Beauty’s remake, focused on a maternal relationship between Maleficent and Aurora. Many people interpreted the scene where Maleficent’s wings get cut off in her sleep as sexual assault. This inclusion made many survivors of sexual assault feel represented by the character.

From my perspective, the original Sleeping Beauty is technically a movie centred around women. A teenage girl lives with her three surrogate mothers, who end up saving her in the end from the female antagonist. Although Prince Philip’s role in the story is still a large part of what moves the plot along. It is Philip who is captured, as Maleficent knew that he would go looking for her. He courted Aurora, defeated Maleficent with the help of the three fairies, and kissed the princess awake. But he still doesn’t get as large of a role, or nearly as much screen time, as the three fairies.

In short, both the movie and the princess fascinate me. And although there is depth if you squint, a character does not need to be fleshed out to be lovable, or at least endearing. Aurora is my favourite Disney Princess, and I find the history behind her and the film to be more interesting than what meets the eye.

Something that’s always bothered me is that they cut Audrey’s line “You don’t meet nice boys when you live on Skid Row, Mr. Mushnik” from the movie.

That’s arguably one of her most iconic and important lines that not only introduces us to what she secretly hopes for, that being to be with Seymour, but also provides subtext to her character.

Immediately after she says this, Seymour comes in, implying that he is that “nice boy” and she very well knows it. But she’s attempting to disregard her feelings towards him by saying that there are no nice boys because she doesn’t think she deserves him due to her past.

The Garment That Changed The Game

The iconic Little Black Dress

-------------------------------------------------------

Timeless, chic, and endlessly versatile, the Little Black Dress (LBD) is more than just clothing. It’s a cultural icon. First introduced by Coco Chanel in 1926, the LBD broke fashion conventions by redefining black as a color of sophistication rather than mourning. Chanel’s vision was simple yet radical: a dress that every woman, regardless of social status, could wear with confidence and ease.

The original design was sleek, unadorned, and knee-length—an antidote to the extravagance of the 1920s. Vogue aptly described it as a “sort of uniform for all women of taste,” and it wasn’t long before the LBD became a universal symbol of understated elegance.

Audrey Hepburn immortalized it in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, elevating the LBD from a wardrobe essential to a piece of cinematic history. Over the decades, designers like Givenchy, Versace, and Saint Laurent have reimagined it, yet its essence remains untouched: simplicity with an edge of allure.

“One is never over-dressed or underdressed with a Little Black Dress“, Karl Lagerfeld

The magic of the LBD lies in its adaptability to adapt through the decades. Paired with pearls, it exudes old Hollywood glamour. Styled with boots and a leather jacket, it becomes a symbol of modern rebellion. It transcends trends, offering every generation its own way to embrace the allure of black.

The Little Black Dress isn’t just a garment; it’s an emblem of confidence, empowerment, and timeless style. It’s proof that fashion doesn’t have to be complicated to make a statement.

What’s your LBD story? How do you style yours?

Fluffy Steve Fest Rec List: July 3: Eras

Hello everyone! I am doing daily themed rec lists for @fluffystevefest. The fics are related (some more loosely than others) to the daily prompts. The number of fics for any given day and prompt varies, but I have at least one fic for each day. There's also a wide variety of fic types and ratings, so I hope there will be something for everyone.

The lists are vertically long, so I've put them behind a cut.

Today feature two entries in an outsider-POV series, plus a separate sexy fic.

Showboy

Captain America Has a Fella by PR Zed (@trappingsofzed)

Rating: General Pairing: Stucky Summary: "Welcome to the USO," the director tells Audrey. And with a handshake, she's in. Six month she's been in New York, slinging hash in a diner and going to every audition she hears about. Now she's finally got a job dancing. She's ecstatic. She's not so sure about working with this Captain America guy, though. Or how one showgirl finds out there's more to Captain America than meets the eye. Comments: Part one of one my favorite comfort series (some of the other installments will show up later today and later this week). It's an outsider POV of Steve's time in the USO, with a focus on his friendship with one of the dancers.

Soldier

Lavender and Lace by kaasknot (@kaasknot)

Rating: Explicit Pairing: Steve/Peggy Summary: "Oh, this man. Peggy feels ten feet tall, she feels powerful, she feels tender and generous as a queen to her supplicant, and the urge to take him down to his barest essence rises hot and dark in her belly. But not yet. There will be time for that later, after they've sounded each other out, learned how far they can push. They're early steps on that road, and patience is a virtue, they say." Comments: A sweet and sexy interlude for Steve and Peggy during the war. Doesn't really focus on the soldier part of Steve's life at this time, but it is rather difficult to find fluff about war for obvious reasons.

Icon

Captain America Is Out and Proud by PR Zed (@trappingsofzed)

Rating: Teen Pairing: Stucky Summary: The truly terrible thing about waking up in the future, thinks Steve, is that everyone who looks at him sees Captain America, national icon. An icon 70 years in the making, never mind that he's really only lived 25 years. (Years don't count if you spend them in the ice, do they?) Or what happens when Steve runs into an old friend from the USO. Comments: Part two of the Captain American Has a Fella series; I do recommend reading part one prior. I love that the author gives Steve a friend from his past who is still alive and mentally whole and also acknowledges Steve's grief. Note that this one is more angsty than the prior installment, more along the lines of hurt/comfort.
