tfw you're at a ball and someone asks if you know how to waltz and you say yes but then you get on the floor and discover that she knows only modern waltz and you know only 1860s waltz
there is no box step in 1860s waltz

(Sweet Orangerie Part.1) Headcanon that during the ✨Bridgerton times ✨ Aziraphale was intensely (but secretly!!) flirting with Crowley...  Crowley, on the other hand, was completely clueless ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

Photos at Madrid's Victory ball! 💃
We attended our first ball! It was such a dreamlike experience!! It was also our first time doing Regency reenactment so it was a challenge. We haphazardly put together some looks, had a great time learning more about the fashion and the dances and met a bunch of lovely people from all over the world. The palace was stunning, the live band was wonderful and the food delicious, it was an unforgettable night 🥰

Does Camp Jupiter celebrate the Ides of March? Or do they hold it as a solemn day? Like Camp Jupiter sees it as a day where drastic measures had to be taken to protect democracy.
But then you have Camp Half Blood who absolutely celebrates the Ides of March.
Camp Jupiter: This is a solemn day we remember that drastic measures were taken in the name of Rome and that we will not allow dictatorship.
Camp Half Blood: Haha stab Caesar day. Check out this pinata we made of him.

I hate how doing any kind of yarn craft basically means you can only produce plastic clothes or it's going to be 300$ in yarn minimum. Every yarn has some acrylic and the natural stuff is so wildly expensive. I would love to use 100% natural fibers but the options are limited
God, yeah. The price of natural-fiber materials is insane.
My average budget for like a full silk gown, trim and notions included, is around $200- and that's ONLY because I live near a discount fabric store that gets bolt-ends from big fashion houses and sells silk for like $10/yard. Wool is insane, for some reason- that place only has coating (heavyweight) and suiting (lighter but feels like plastic even though it's not), so making a dress or anything not outerwear from wool involves shopping online and some painful spending.
I just bought 6 yards of wool to make my Dream Dressing-Gown. It was $210 for JUST the wool- I still have to get lining fabric, possibly an embroidery machine pattern, embroidery thread (because my friend who's generously letting me use her machine only has polyester and rayon). Part of that was shipping from freaking Poland because finding a website that has non-stretch, dark green wool at any weight below "snow gear" in the States is nigh impossible.
(Or that actually discloses the weight in a meaningful way; that's another problem I've encountered. "Brushed wool!" Great, but how heavy is it? "It's wool!" Not helpful. It's like they can't fathom wanting to use wool for anything besides heavy outerwear. Which they probably can't, because that's all we're accustomed to seeing it as nowadays.)
Like I'm tempted to blame militant v*gans for the inaccessibility of silk and wool, but honestly, capitalism was probably just waiting for the excuse to turn all our clothes to crap. I doubt there's been enough outcry about them to push those fabrics out of reach, the way there has been for fur and leather (to clarify: pro-treating animals humanely, anti-plastic clothing, not opposed to the use of aforesaid materials if those animals are properly cared-for and humanely killed).
At least you can still find cotton and some linen things in stores- for now. They're still more expensive, though, and limited in what weaves are often seen. Cotton velvet, for example? Forget it.
It's so disturbing and frustrating.

Fooduary Day 22: Tres Leches
So today might have supposed to be Pumpkin pie but I’ve already done a pie I’m not a fan of and an orange-focused color palette so…. One spontaneous “fun desserts from around the world” search later I got inspired by tres leches! A tres leches cake is a sponge cake soaked in evaporated milk, condensed milk and whole milk (thus the name three milk cake). A 19th century invention in Nicaragua it remains a super popular dessert to this day. I was inspired by Trencilla dresses which are worn for all sorts of marimba dances.
I am the artist! Do not post without permission & credit! Thank you! Come visit me over on: instagram, tiktok or check out my coloring book available now \ („• ֊ •„) /

Billy, Babe and Heng for MahaSongkran2024IDF
Tumblr media
Babe and Heng are wearing fantasy takes on traditional Thai costume but Billy is actually wearing a Manora dance costume, minus the tail, crown and the finger claws.
The Manora dance costume is supposed to invoke the mythical bird-creature Kinnaree / Kinnara.
