Named after her mother, Effie's parents were well-known sponsors of Capitol News, Capitol Tv and more while also being very wealthy bankers. Effie received a good education in the Capitol. However, she was gutted when her boyfriend was stationed as a Peacekeeper in the Districts, in 65 ADD. She was only 19 at the time.

For an unknown reason, Effie and her family were disgraced by her Great-Aunt Messalina. And therefore, her earlier years in the Capitol were difficult. Effie had a younger sister named Proserpina Trinket, and grew up with both her parents. It is said that the Trinkets are related to President Snow.

Effie has known Haymitch for a long time; she stepped in to help District 12 as their designer had not shown up. After Haymitch's victory, Effie stood by him when it came time for him to be presented as the victor of the Games, despite everything he had done to defy the Capitol.

Effie had also accompanied Haymitch as his escort on his Victory Tour as Drusilla Sickle broke her hip.

I've begun collecting Bugattis.

They pop up in the wildest places, to be honest. The whole Bugatti family were artists of one kind or another and they had wildly varying interests outside of a kind of unifying fascination with three-dimensional design.

Top left is what I refer to as the Fastest Rocking Chair In The World, because it's a cool rocking chair but then you find out yep...it's a Bugatti (dad Carlo).

Of course Bugatti (older son Ettore) is most well-known as a car manufacturer, and I recently encountered one of six existing Royales (only seven were made) at the Henry Ford Museum. Top middle is a photo I took of this gorgeous long-hooded touring car. It was produced by Ettore, but apparently most of the design was by his son Jean.

When I was at the Musee D'Orsay in Paris I found two Bugattis, although there are many more; top right is Carlo again with a sinuous armless "Cobra Chair". I took this photo when I was there, but I didn't realize it was Carlo until I was searching the Art Institute museum's website to see if THEY had any Bugattis and realized they had a Bugatti Cobra Chair too. And under the first three is a photo I took in the Orsay of a sculpture of two llamas, which I liked before I looked at the plaque and saw it was by the best named man in the universe (younger son Rembrandt).

Now every museum I go to, I'm going to look for a Bugatti.

Watching star trek next generation. First episode. 1987. In a quick background shot there's a guy wearing one of the short skirt uniforms. In 1987. SO BADASS.

I absolutely love this quick cut shot. The Federation is supposed to be a utopian society. So the designers are very clearly stating that traditionally feminine garb is no longer gender coded in utopian society.

It's a super quick shot, likely leaving viewers going, "Was that...?" and having no way to confirm it. (No pause, rewind, or video release.) So they can get away with it.

But. Seriously. They did this in what was THE VERY FIRST EPISODE OF THE BRAND NEW STAR TREK REBOOT.

They boldly went.

Brilliant.
