Enna's got a list and she's checking it twice. It's a grocery list. She doesn't want to forget anything.

Hi again, just wanted to say one thing I'm really looking forward to seeing is your rendition of Helena's S2-S9 outfit. Always loved it so much more. :)

It's very interesting trying to translate it into my style. I'm not sure which direction to go in yet :D

some editorial examples of the 90s doing the 60s.

reminds me of the 70s doing the 50s (grease, happy days) and before that, the 50s doing the 20s (singin’ in the rain, some like it hot)

interesting to notice what is kept or thrown away, what is exaggerated & what is downplayed, how certain retro aspects coincide with the contemporary fashion trends.

Today's Anti-Kawaii Character of The Day is Cyn from Murder Drones! In her "worker drone" form, she wears maid-themed Girly Kei, as "Cynessa" her outfit is more akin to Dark Girly Kei! In her fused and Eldritch forms, she fits into Gurokawa imagery!

This character was requested by @saplingheaven and anonymous!

If there was a Inside Out spinoff about Fear and Disgust instead of about Dream Productions....

...would you watch it if Pixar even tried to make it?

Hmm, would I...? As one of the biggest supporters of Disear?? 🤔

(yes. the answer is yes lol)

In all seriousness, a spinoff series of Fear and Disgust sounds like it has a lot of potential. I believe these two have enough chemistry to carry an entire show together (assuming the rest of the cast is moot). I'd definitely love to see these two in wacky scenarios outside of their roles as emotions in Headquarters. ^^

GUIDE TO LOLITA VS HIME GYARU

I’m going to break down the differences of Sweet+Old school Lolita and Hime Gyaru for any J-fashion enthusiasts In this post.

At first glance these styles can look very similar with the joint goal of looking like a feminine “aristo doll” in rebellion of social norms of conformity when it comes to getting dressed but appearance wise they are different.

( I’m only going to talk about the visual differences here but there are other great sources for history )

Silhouette —

Lolita: What makes Lolita fashion so recognisable is the cupcake silhouette of the petticoat underneath the skirt, how the skirt has lots of volume at the top and stops 1/3 down leaving the the rest of the skirt’s curve to slow down.

Hime Gyaru: Hime Gyaru dresses and blouses do not have petticoats or if they do they are thin and flat. Because of the babydoll style of the dresses they have a more loose fit.

Colours —

Lolita: In Sweet styles the colour palette of most coords are pastels with pink, blue, yellow, purple and some green, Old school has more bold colours with darker reds, greens, pinks, whites, blacks and blues but with white accents with lace.

Hime Gyaru: Colour palettes are relatively the same for every Hime Gyaru coord with cold pinks and white with occasional accents of black.

Modesty—

Lolita: Most Lolitas wear a blouse underneath their dresses but in summertime some Lolitas wear their dresses with out a blouse. Their skirts tend to be above knee height and will wear knee or thigh high socks or patterned tights.

Hime Gyaru: Hime Gyaru tends to show more of the shoulders because of low necklines. The skirt normally reaches its end before the end of the hand and socks normally aren’t prevalent in Hime Gyaru fashion.

Prints —

Lolita: With Sweet Lolita prints you can find florals, animals, food, drinks and sometimes buildings. With Old school you can find prints like plaid and tartan. It is important to note that it’s mainly split down the middle with Lolita dresses having prints or being plain.

Hime Gyaru: Almost every Hime Gyaru dress will have a floral print ( this being roses ).

Misc —

Lolita: While some Lolita’s wear colourful wigs it isn’t needed for a Lolita coord. Makeup can vary from rather subtle to pink blush and gloss.

Hime Gyaru: Hime Gyaru is known for their dirty blonde Goldilocks wigs. Will commonly sport a fake tan although it may not be as dark as other Gyaru sub styles. Lipstick and blush is a light cold pink and they wear large false eyelashes. Long acrylic nails are a must.

Please note that there are exceptions to all of these and there are no rules to these styles and the most important thing is having fun! :))

"Hotd costume design was fine, you can't still be angry."

This is how they had Laena and Her daughters dressed in ESSOS?!

It's not the worst thing in the world, and thankfully, face cards carry house Velartarg, but the language of Essos isn't communicated. You can make the arguement that Laena wants them to feel like Westeros girls but that doesn't make sense because Daemon says their home is in Pentos sho to communicate that, them looking Pentoshi or calling back to Daenerys fashion in Essos would make the most sense for this disconnect and establish Essos at this point in history.

Rip Dany and Missandei. Mothers didn't live and die by the cloth to be represented in this light.

honestly i think if we as a society started dressing/presenting ourselves historical every day we would be much happier.

for some examples: regency dresses,massive petticoats,cloaks,ornately embroidered waistcoats,putting little sprigs of berries and flowers in our neatly pinned hair, 20s heart lips, bright red tunics with woade blue stockings, cute victorian boots with little velvet buttons, slashing and puffing all over our tops, edwardian lingerie gowns (less scandalous than it sounds), little girls running around in poofy dresses with ribbons in their hair, bustles, Ruffley collars,those little jackets that were popular in the regency, top hats, baker boy caps,french hoods, MASSIVE tie on pockets, 18th century mens lace cuffs, the list could go on forever.

not to mention the fact that almost every body type has been the beauty standard at one time or another, so i'f we dress how people were dressing when our particular shape was sought after than feeling rubbish about ourselves because of beauty standards would go away. poof! gone!

The fun Grey Area of buying offbrand fast fashion and fast-adjacent fashion, but then wearing it for years because you bought it for Broke reasons or Style I Love On Sale reasons.

Like... yeah, I do have some athletic wear and socks from Costco, some shirts from Hot Topic, even some blouses I bought from H&M before I learned how damaging it is.

But most of them are machine-washable cotton so I can wear them for uhhhhh [checks] I've still got Patagonia shirts from fifteen years ago, so I'll be wearing them that long if they don't fall apart from Lesser Quality and Rough Use

(Obviously, Patagonia is intended to last much longer than the general cheap-ish brands I'm talking about, but I needed an example of a known brand I've definitely had for that long to use as an example of how long I'd keep a shirt once I get it. There are others that I've had for a while but can't actually remember when I got them, like the Tinkerbell shirt.)

(I also do have some of my mom's blouses from the late 90s/early aughts so. I clearly don't care overly much about things going out of fashion.)

Like... I could do better than I am, but at least I'm doing better than the average?
