i dont care what kind of lore they're coming up with for that zepotha film or whatever the fuck over on tiktok, nothing will ever come close to the fact goncharov was spawned entirely from a label on a boot

Ukrainian traditional outfit on my Whispering Grass Cornelia.

The most tricky part is to find in-scale fabrics and findings with a proper patterns for this kind of costume. Embroidery on the shirt is imitated with a lace. The doll is 45 cm high and is available as fullset for purchase.

Ok we give up

Of the many weird items in the Newberry's collection of valentine postcards, this set -- featuring boot-faces pursuing romance and also money -- might be the weirdest? If you have any clue as to what's going on here, we'd love to hear it in the comments...

French Fairy Treasures

Around the World Treasures: Famous French Fairy Tales by the father of the French fairy tale Charles Perrault (1628-1703) and collected and adapted from the original Perrault by David Stone, was published in New York by Frankin Watts Inc., a division of Grolier, in 1959. The book includes The Picture Story of Perrault's Famous French Fairy Tales, illustrated by British artist and teacher Charles Mozley (1914-1991), a book illustrator and designer of posters, book covers, and print. Along with these striking color drawings are black-and-white illustrations depicting key moments within each story. Noel Streatfeild (1895-1986), an English children's book author, provides an introduction to the book. In it, she details the essential moments in Perrault's life that led him to write these stories. According to Streatfeild, before Perrault's Contes, nobody had ever read a fairy tale! Before that, these stories were passed down and enjoyed through oral tradition.

Perrault played a significant role in the literary controversy called the "Quarrel of the Ancients and the Moderns." At 23, he became a lawyer, following in his father's footsteps, before embarking on a political career, which led him into the court of the Sun King, Louis XIV of France. Spending time in his court is where Perrault garnered inspiration to write his stories. His simple, unaffected style breathed new life into half-forgotten folk tales. Interestingly, some of his versions influenced the German tales collected by the Brothers Grimm more than a century later.

So, whether you find yourself wondering in the woods like Little Red Riding Hood or dreaming of glass slippers like Cinderella, Perrault's timeless tales remain a delightful part of our childhood imagination, capturing the magic and wonder of storytelling for generations to come!

every time I buy and new pair of boots I think ‘it’s what Present Mic would have wanted’ because, for some reason, I associate him with like. just a really solid pair of boots?? even though if you look at his hero costume, his shoes are actually pretty plain???? so I cannot figure out where the hell I came up with this idea that the Present Mic persona should have very distinctive footwear but I’ve got it in my head now and it’s stuck there. get that man some platforms.

“Oh Curly was supposed to be British!” “Curly is just a cowboy fanatic!” “Curly just likes the aesthetic”

You’re all weak will and weak minded. People that actually understand know he’s just a born and bred Texan who joined the Pony Express because he thought it would involve actually horses like the ranch back home. The stars are nice but he was immensely disappointed for the first like month.
