Rebirth of Wings: Behind the Pink Curtain at Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2024 Triumphant Return To Flight

Jade Ann Byrne: The Great Imposter Bringing Wings Back to the Victoria’s Secret Runway By Jade Ann Byrne, Live from the Pink Carpet New York, New York I wasn’t just a spectator. I wasn’t just another press pass dangling from a lanyard. I was embedded, deep within the heart of one of fashion’s most highly anticipated events—today. A mystery shopper in designer heels, slipping through backstage…

Hi! I absolutely love your thoughts on Planetosi fashion and the culture aspects and changes in fashion over the time periods. It’s such an aspect of world building that I don’t think gets much focus in media and it gives a look into so much of a richer world that we didn’t see as much in the show (in my opinion).

I know you mentioned a bit about the Daynes style of dress, but do you have any more HCs on Dorne? I know you mentioned the the amount of layers would change according to the region because of the heat.

Yes I love thinking ab dornish fashion!!

Starting from the north, near the Dornish marches and by the Red Mountains, where those with the most Andal blood live, we have a little bit of a mix between influences. Either because they live so close to the edge of the kingdom, or because Andal traditions trickled down. Clothing is thicker bc it is a (slight) bit colder for where stony dornishmen live. Textiles are also a combo of thicker fabrics they get from the stormlands/reach and traditional airy fabrics from Dorne.

Moving to the actual deserts of Dorne, this is where you see full coverage clothing. Usually this consists of a singular long and loose shift, with added robes for added protection. If you pass a sandy dornishman in the desert, you will hardly ever see their face. Clothing is almost solely made up of cotton and linen (they’re the most breathable fabrics) and there is always going to be a turban or hat of some kind while they ride or herd or work

And “Salty” dornish fashion (so around the coastlines) still has strong remnants of their Rhoynar ancestors. Both in patterns/accessories and the fabrics they use. They can afford to have both light and heavy fabrics since they live near the water and weather will cool during winter, unlike the rest of Dorne. Their patterns and textiles still reflect the intricate artistry of the old Rhoynar cultures, and has striking similarities to the free cities, mostly Myr

The Martells themselves :D very much drippy. Despite the fact that Dorne is a notoriously brutal climate, their clothes reflect the fact that they are not only wealthy enough to survive but also have extravagance. I’m obsessed with the idea of gilded and embellished clothing for the Martells, especially for ceremonial/traditional clothing to show off power (the left pic is Doran and Oberyn at an important Sunspear ball is it not) ALSO I like to think that princesses of Dorne will wear their bride price on their clothing as a sort of “I’m expensive” type thing, embellishing their dresses with silver coins and charms that equal the cost of their bride price

BONUS sand snake fits: I think the girlies like to match, especially when they need to go intimidate someone. Still fairly practical most of the time for riding around and fighting but still indicative of their royal blood despite their bastard status. Other times I think they fully dress practically and essentially like a commoner (when they need to stay hidden for ~espionage~ reasons) and it’s just easier to move around in whenever they’re in rough terrain. Probably favored by resident butch Obara

Timeline: Part 7 - October 2017

For earlier timeline posts: click here or here.

There are three installments of the "Meghan's PR Timeline" today, which will see us finish out 2017: October 2017, November 2017, and December 2017.

One particularly interesting observation about this period of time is that from mid-October to mid-November, there are actually whole days without a single item or piece about Meghan. It's very strange because from about the end of April 2017 to the end of September 2017, we were being bombarded DAILY by stories about Meghan.

Is the missing coverage because those pages, stories, and articles were scrubbed in 2018/2019 when Meghan's PR was cleaning up her image?

Did Meghan finally get the ring in early October and no longer needed her PR to pressure Harry and force him to propose?

Or is it the quiet before the storm (i.e., the engagement announcement)? Meghan decided to drop coverage to get more bang when the engagement was announced?

10/1/2017: Toronto Invictus Games Closing Ceremony. Meghan, Doria, Jess, and Markus arrive early and are in a box. Meghan arrives first and is caught directing photographers where to go and what angles to use. Harry arrives later. Meghan leaks that Harry and Doria met at the closing ceremony and they get along fabulously.

(For additional context timeline-wise: 10/1/17 is the Route 19 Harvest Festival shooting in Las Vegas)

10/2/2017: Harry returns to London via Heathrow Airport and it's listed in the Court Circular. Meghan teases an engagement to E News and says that her friends have become Harry's family.

10/9/2017: Harry's ex Cressida makes the news for being connected to Harvey Weinstein. Jess Mulroney sources an "all about Meghan's bestie, Jess" story.

10/10/2017: Meghan's PR takes a dig at William and Kate, asking why they never hold hands. Kate makes her first public appearance since announcing her third pregnancy, implying that she is on the mend from HG.

10/11/2017: Meghan's 2011 film, Dysfunctional Friends, resurfaces. Her character is a photographer for male underwear models. Meghan tries to be a fashion influencer, gets linked to Julia Roberts, Naomi Watts, and Greta Lee as a major "power dresser". She also merches the nail polish she might wear for the wedding and/or the engagement announcement.

Meanwhile, Harry attends the 100 Women in Finance Gala Dinner. Kate's aide, Rebecca Deacon, receives the Royal Victorian Order. Buckingham Palace announces that Charles will lay wreaths at the Cenotaph for The Queen during the Remembrance Sunday service, and The Queen returns to London, ending her summer Balmoral haloriday.

10/12/2017: The Queen's first day back in London/work following summer holidays. Harry has #1 sexiest celebrity beard. (No, they're not talking about Meghan. They mean the actual hair on his face.)

10/13/2017: Meghan and Harry leak that they're house-hunting in the Cotswolds for a marital home and merch a few properties in the Daily Mail. Meghan also teases wedding speculation and Soho Farmhouse's newest financial report reveals that they lost $34.48 million in 2017 (hence the Harkle sponcon throughout 2018)

10/14/2017: Royals living in the US - forgotten Spencer cousins who call the American Pacific Northwest home.

10/15/2017: Meghan confirms that she is finished with Suits when Season 7 wraps in November. #MeToo movement begins and James Middleton, Donna Air split is revealed.

10/16/2017: Meghan leaks that she and Harry are already engaged but won't announce it until Suits filming has ended. Harry attends the WellChild Awards. Also, Harry tells people that he doesn't want a formal pageanty Cambridge-like wedding.

Meanwhile, Harry accompanies William and Kate to an engagement celebrating the release of Paddington 2.

10/17/2017: No new Meghan or Harkle stories, but Eugenie is papped in Los Angeles; William and Kate announce the baby is due in April; and Camilla gives a landmark speech on osteoporosis.

10/18/2017: Meghan leaks to the Daily Mail that she and Harry had tea with The Queen at Buckingham Palace on October 12th, and it's the first time Meghan met Her Majesty.

Harry has had a crush on Meghan since 2015 when he saw her on Suits and he did tell friends back then that she was his ideal woman.

My 2024 Trend Predictions

Disclaimer! Trends are bullshit!!! What’s “in” and “out” is totally subjective and fashion is an art form, public opinion and new crazes have no impact on the real art and following trends is your choice. Trend cycles are sped up so violently by capitalism and fast fashion as a beast, fashion is supposed to be fun.

This list is my opinions as a 19 year old boy who spends too much time online and read too much vogue as a kid. I am not an expert, I just like to talk.

Indie Sleaze

I’m already seeing this one happening, the colored tights under shorts, the fur vests, I think especially with the popularity of saltburn and it’s aesthetics we’ll see a lot more of this in the beginning of this new year. Graphic t-shirts with ironic phrases were already big in 2023, glitter and silver makeup especially is on the rise, this is already happening and I am excited. I fucking love indie sleaze. Nostalgia is a huge impact on trend cycles, I think we’ll see a lot of 2000 and 2010s trends seeing as the generations looking up to teens following those trends in their childhoods and longing to live those lifestyles are now old enough to embrace that dream. I think for people more into alternative fashion this will translate into a emo and scene resurgence that I’ve already been seeing.

Twee

This is based off the nostalgia again, I think a lot of folks who gravitate more towards cottage core-esque fashions and aesthetics are going to start embracing twee. 2024 is going to be a year of embracing cringe and quirky “individualism”, it is the year of the manic pixie dream girl, is is the year of pissing off boring men with “annoying” femininity. I think cutesy patterns, lace, buttons, diy big jewelry and hair accessories are gonna be on the rise. I can see girls making videos about their craft nights on tiktok already. Skater skirts, Peter Pan collars, bangs, Jess from new girl eat your heart out.

“Humble” Classy/reverse flexing

People are getting tired of the insistence on being “classy”, I think in 2024 we’re going to see a lot of celebrities trying to seem humble and average and down to earth. I think we’ll see a lot of brand mixing, super expensive designer paired with cheap every day brands, I think we’ll see this in clothes and especially in food. I think we’ll see a lot of branding for fast food popping up alongside that “classy” aesthetic. I think that this will also show up more with thrifting becoming popular again amongst influencers but specifically thrifting for designer/up cycling designer (badly). They’ll sell it under a veil of sustainability, it’ll be infuriatingly shallow.

Lightning Round

Pom poms

Feathers (especially hair feathers)

Fur in mens fashion

Metallic makeup

Grungy makeup looks

Full coverage foundations/matte foundations

Peplums (somehow)

Skinny jeans

Jewel toned nails

Short nails

Dainty chokers

Statement earrings

Wood/leather jewelry

Flats

Vintage anime merch

2000s/2010s brand mascots

Mod style

70s resurgence moments throughout (this is wistful thinking I just love the fashion of the 70s)

My Trend Timeline

End of winter into spring- indie sleazing our way into the new year, I think it’s a versatile enough fashion that can be easily executed with what people already have from previous trends in 2023. Everything is set up rolling out into the warmer months.

Summer- I think this is going to be prime time “trashy” early 2000s party girl kind of time. We got a little of it last summer but I think it’s going to really hit this year. Whale tails, chunky low lights, messy makeup, bedazzled jeans. I think we’ll also see some keywest kitten esque looks from the preppier side of things, lots of bright colors and fun jewelry. I think we’ll also get a lot of vintage Americana moments, once again we got a bit of it last year and I think it’ll be brought back.

Fall- peak twee season, especially nearing the holidays. I think we’re gonna see a lot of rich color this fall too, jewel tones, beautiful deep greens and reds, not a lot in clothing but I think definitely in makeup and accessories. Around this time I think the preppier leaning folks will get back into skinny jeans. I think vintage graphic Ts will also get popular around this time, something easy but still interesting. Men’s fashion doesn’t cycle through as quickly so I think the kind of 70s aesthetics I’ve seen a lot of dudes into will continue (but I think they’ll also get in on the indie sleaze, I think for mens fashion it will stick around for fall). I think we’ll see more textures, lace, fur, leather, etc.

Winter- this is right around when I think the forced “casually classy” down to earth bs will start. Twee will continue amongst a smaller group and we’ll see a lot of cute diy gifts and stuff for the holidays, this will also impact the up cycling I think we’ll see from influencers and celebrities. I think hyper-feminine aesthetics will really kick back up, Pom poms, whites and pinks, skirts and big sweaters, Ralph Lauren teddy bears everywhere. It’ll be contrasted by a new interest in grungy/intense makeup looks, thin brows and dark lips, messy eyes, glitter.

I’m very excited for these all to turn out totally wrong and for me to make a fool of myself! But who gives a shit, I’m just saying this all for fun. Happy new year everyone!

- Valentine <3

as someone who knows fuck all about the met gala or the fashion world genuinely what is happening

so the met gala is a massive charity gala that happens annually as a fundraiser for the metropolitan museum of arts fashion institute. it is themed and each theme relates to the primary exhibit that will be held at the met costume institute for the year. the theme is not dress code, but the people who attend often dress in acordance or relation to the theme; a good met gala to look up some of the fashion for is the 2018 met gala 'heavenly bodies: fashion and the catholic imagination'

the tickets to the gala are $$$ as it is a charity for a high profile museum in new york city and usually who shows up to it tends to be celebrities of all sorts, influencers recently, some titans of industry, and some politicians

this year, the theme is in honor of karl lagerfeld. karl lagerfeld is a piece of shit. i hope he burns. he was head of chanel and considered critical to the revival of the brand and was heavily involved with it from the 80s to his death in 2019- the iconic chanel tweed suit is his doing. karl lagerfeld was openly misogynistic, against gay marriage (the whole interviews a fucking nightmare), and islamophobic (note the subtle antisemitism involved in his islamophobia too). he dismissed sexual assault frequently and defended his stylist who was accused of it. his parents were active members of the nazi party and that is how he got his financial start.

this information has all been available for decades. everyone knew lagerfeld has been a massive piece of shit since the early 2010s bare minimum and his only meaningful contributions to fashion were the revival of chanel and a few basic fucking pieces he essentially kept remaking. he was honestly quite good with runway staging concepts & sets but a lot of the time especially in his later years it was recycled material in the fashion lines he worked on. chanel was masturbatory self-referrentialism by the time of his death and still is, just more shapeless now. the only reason this is happening is because anna wintour (another rotted bitch) is on the met gala board and was besties with lagerfeld so shes probably behind this whole to-do

fashion blogs arent excited because its fucking lagerfeld, whats everyone gonna do. wear a chanel tweed suit and a bad white wig? & anyone into fashion with a sense of ethics is cringing because hes a piece of shit. in general its a stupid theme and its going to suck. plus vogue which does primary coverage of the met gala has switched to a subscription only model which means viewership and coverage of the met gala will be significantly reduced on top of all this lol. terrible year for annoying people who love fashion (me)

“Scans of various Christopher Nemeth ads found on the rear pages of STREET Magazine between 1993-95 🔍 Beginning his career in London during the early 80s, Nemeth pieces became an editorial staple for magazines such as i-D, and his deconstructed/upcycled aesthetic - which he pioneered alongside stylist Judy Blame and shoe designer John Moore through their 'House of Beauty and Culture' collective - has remained an enduring reference, whose influence has been acknowledged by designers such as Martin Margiela and Rei Kawakubo.

A significant factor in Nemeth's prominence amongst Japan's fashion press during this time (particularly relative to the more scarce coverage he received in the UK) can be attributed to his - at the time, unprecedented - decision to shift his design operations from London to Tokyo in 1986, eventually culminating in the opening of his Harajuku-based 'Nemeth' boutique in 1993 (which several of these adverts were conceived to promote). The popularity of the store, and the patronage Nemeth's designs received from Tokyo's heavily documented street-style scene of the time, would later allow the designer to expand operations and open further stores in Osaka, Fukuoka, and Nagoya.” via zerocoolarchive

Matt Gertz for MSNBC:

The cycle of lies that drove the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection is again underway. Five months before the 2024 election, claims that only fraud could explain a future Donald Trump defeat are already commonplace in the right-wing media ecosystem. Fox News stars and Trumpist influencers are priming their audiences to listen if Trump once again claims an election was “rigged” against him — and to come to his aid.

Twice last week, Greg Gutfeld told viewers of “The Five,” Fox News’ most-watched broadcast, that the public will only believe the 2024 results are legitimate if President Joe Biden loses. “If they aren’t that worried that Joe’s going to lose, given his sorry state, what are they planning? What are they doing to save the day?” Gutfeld asked June 13. He added that if “by some weird, miraculous chance” Biden wins, “how do you convince anyone that’s real? Have they even thought of that?” He concluded, “Even the Dems behind the scenes better hope he doesn’t win because no one’s going to believe it.” Gutfeld reiterated the point the next day, saying that if Democrats “somehow pull this out” by using ���shenanigans” to win, “you’re going to deal with a public that doesn’t buy the election.” That same week, Gutfeld’s colleague Jesse Watters used his prime-time show to call for banning ballot drop boxes on the grounds that they are “ripe for fraud” and to warn of millions of undocumented immigrants voting. “Biden let 10 million illegal immigrants into this country,” Watters claimed (falsely). “How are we ever going to accept the results of the election in this kind of landscape?”

This fear-mongering about the potential for election-changing fraud has been a consistent refrain all year on Fox News. “The Democrats are going to stop at nothing,” host Laura Ingraham declared in January. “If they can, they’re going to game the system or yeah, maybe even cheat.” 

While the network paid a heavy price for its election denial in 2020 — including a $787.5 million defamation settlement with Dominion Voting Systems — its hosts are under constant pressure from other Trumpist competitors who loudly claim that Democratic election-rigging is an indisputable fact. “There are no ‘issues’ with the 2020 election — they stole it,” former Trump adviser and right-wing podcast host Steve Bannon claimed in March. “The only way they defeat Trump is to steal it. The only way they defeat Trump is they steal it. The only way they defeat Trump is they steal it. He is unstoppable.” We saw four years ago that these disinformation campaigns can trigger horrific results. Trump’s plot to subvert the 2020 vote did not begin when he falsely declared victory in the hours after Election Day. By that point, the then-president and his right-wing media cronies had spent months preparing Republican voters not to accept a result that ended in his defeat. Outlets like Fox News relentlessly bombarded their audiences with misinformation about mail-in voting and election fraud. Trump in turn regularly promoted that bogus coverage, describing it as evidence that “Democrats are Rigging our 2020 Election!”

[...] All this suits Trump’s aims perfectly. Mimicking his right-wing propagandists, Trump told Time magazine in April that the only thing that can prevent him from winning “in record-setting fashion” is if Democrats rely on “the things that they did the last time.” He warned that if that happens, political violence from his supporters may be on the table. In other words, Trump is ready for another Jan. 6-style assault on democracy if one proves necessary. And propagandists in the right-wing media are laying the groundwork to ensure his plot’s success

Matt Gertz writes in a column on MSNBC’s site that Fox “News”, Newsmax, and Stephen Bannon, along with the rest of the right-wing media ecosystem, are planning a January 6th Insurrection: Part 2 if Joe Biden wins again in November with the same tired election denialist claims.

MileApo x Dior update

Reporters are asking about working with Dior, Po said wait for the good news coming soon. Wait for the official announcement…

Apo: What news will there be coming soon

Q: Will there be any titles coming from working the brand? The fans are wondering/hoping there’ll be a title for you

Apo: Have to wait and see krub. It might or just from the fashion side, it could be from movie, work, or even the film ManSuang, (we’d/I’d) like to stay tune for what’s going surprise everyone

Translation by MileApo Safe Place

I had mentioned in the Dior Gateway to India press roundup that Hello! India might have jumped the gun on announcing the Dior ambassadorship in their coverage or possibly misunderstood the invite... it looks more like the former is the truth now.

Additionally, I'd mentioned this in response to anon about Dior:

Dior might be testing the waters of how much bang they’re going to get for their buck too. I had also thought, given the ambitious nature of Man Suang at international film festivals circuit, a high fashion brand might want the exclusive rights to dress them for all the red carpets, which for BOC could be very lucrative. Putting Mile and Apo in front for Dior seems to be part of a larger strategy at LVMH. LV is the stable brand that drives the highest volume and sets the average, but LVMH has been vesting a lot of effort into making Dior a giant.

Apo's comments seem to be validating that that might be what's in negotiation too.

Finally, on the bang-for-their-buck and digital strategy element, that wasn't just a throwaway comment--! Hot off the press, Lefty.io just published their most influential figures at the Dior pre-fall show (Gateway to India)

This is what EMV stands for:

What Is Earned Media Value? Earned Media Value is an influencer marketing metric that's used to quantify the value of social media content. EMV measures engagement with social media content about a brand that is created by a third party.

I don't care about other celebrities or whatever, but as a point of reference you can look at other EMV values they generated in these tweets for reference: (1) (2) (3)

If you bother to click the tweets, there are some other Thai actors on the list including Bright and Win (from you know. that couple). Mile and Apo clearly still lag behind them, but for a year out of one successful show it's pretty decent, and brands are really starting to see the impact of the Thai media in international soft power realm.

Finally, in terms of Dior's overall strategy, this is on overview of their digital push:

(this one is for SS2023 show, which happened in October 2022 - MA attended none of these shows)

(For FW2023 which is the show Apo attended)

This is why when I and annoying other fan clubs or posters encourage you to engage with Twitter and IG posts - that's why. Brands can see the impact of the engagement directly translating into marketing value and will encourage further high-value sponsors with their projects.

I don't have Mile's numbers for the Pre-fall show nor am I giving this company my info to get it, but I would be surprised if it was below $1M. But anyway, please continue to engage with posts not just on Tumblr. It does make a difference.

Same person who asked the "eccentric quirks for social media influencers" question, just realized I never specified I was referring to your Original Quirks. Apologies for forgetting that one crucial word, it kinda completely changed the trajectory of the answer.

It's fine. It was an easy mistake and I still had fun making the first one. Though for this, I will be covering Quirks that are useful in specific fields of influencers and help with influencers in general. I will give an honorable mention to "High Fi". For any of this influencer stuff to actually work, they all need one thing: Internet. You need at all times and you need it to be reliable.

Bulk: This would basically be every other exercise focused influencer where they show off their workout, but now the user is bench pressing cars, long jumping across buildings, and run across an entire city.

Kinesthetic: This has a lot of the same coverage as "Bulk", but more in the acrobatics and athletics side of things, such as performing impressive gymnastics, doing complicated dance moves, or pulling off trick shots.

Cook Out: This could work to cover a lot of health and food based kind of influencer, just changing whatever kind of weird cooking utensil you need to make food. Plus it makes for a cool show if you decide to stream it.

Deep Think: I often joke about his is the speedrunner's Quirk, but it could it certainly fit any kind of gaming streamer. Play the game in front of your adoring fans and then just going into your clutch mode for their particularly tough moments.

Fashion: Obviously, this fits under a lot of the fashion influencer. You can make whatever kind of odd look or outfit you want to or do commissions for people. You could make special versions of your mech that you hand made or look cool on camera.

Make Up: While this could fit the kind of make up or beauty channels, this really could work well with any kind of influencer. I mean if you want to be in a camera every day of your life, you better put on your best face and make sure you look nice.

Disc Set: To actually be an influencer, you need proper cameras and audio. You can put these discs wherever and get the best possible video you can get wherever you need the shot. And if you need to edit it, it's even already on a disc.

Decisive: This may seem like an odd choice, but it can certainly be great to have input on your decisions with so many people watching them. Like, say, you are about to do something catastrophically stupid that would tank your whole career.

Screen Tear: So if you are going to be any kind of influencer, you need at least some understanding of how to edit. This makes it way easier. Just jump into your latest project and add in whatever filters and sound affects you want in a matter of minutes.

Sleepless: Look, if you really want to be a top influencer, you need to give up certain things. The first would normally be a consistent sleep schedule, so why not do away with that entirely. Now you can dedicate all the time you want to your content.

dear fashion institute of westeros what’s your verdict on trading port settlements sartorial choices? gulltown and oldtown and white harbour 🚢 what do they bring out for met and also sundays at the sept when the out of towners aren’t looking?

Canonically, Gulltown has a lot of foreign trade, and they have fine seamstresses, so I think there is much and more going on in their clothing. They have that typical Vale vibe (high waists, hennins, drapings, thin figure etc.) but it’s heightened. Since it is not as cold as the Eyrie, fabric can be thinner and less restrained. Abundant trade also means lots of foreign fabrics, gems, stones, and metals to decorate themselves with. Lots of choices to wear and thus lots of variety.

To me white harbor is more influenced by southern trends due to its history, so what you see is more Vale inspired but adapted to the colder weather of the north. Maybe kerchiefs to cover their necks and fur lined sleeves and more coverage on their headdresses. The skirts go outwards as do the veils bc it just makes sense that the Manderlys would want to be dramatic (yea I know I’ve used the pic on the right for the vale but someone sent me an ask and said it reminded them of the manderlys and I strongly agree)

I’m writing a little research paper on ep and one of my main points is his influence on 60s counterculture so i was wondering how u think he affected the decade since u seem to know a lot ab that time !!

Oh wow, I am sooo behind on asks but I couldn't resist this - can I ask if this is for a class or for fun? Elvis was sort of a pioneer of 1950s rock hipster counter culture, but even then, it's hard to suggest Elvis had a one-way influence on counterculture in the in the 1950s or 60s, but rather, that he engaged and changed it, popularizing in the 1950s a sort of androgynous sexuality and style, and breaking the color line by incorporating the Black Southern culture he grew up in into his music and mixing it with country and blue grass, creating a racial hybridity that really reflected where he was from. He had a lot of privilege to do this as a white performer, but also we cannot discount how Elvis' engagement and history in Black spaces, culture and his collaboration with Black writers and musicians violated segregation norms and upset a lot of the white supremacists in the South.

As for the 1960s, there is his legacy in rock and roll and pushing the boundaries of musical expression, sexual and gender norms, and youth culture that I think really impacted the 1960s counterculture's slang, fashion and music and style, not just from his 1950s work but also from his performances in films and coverage of him in the press. His style reflected and influenced all the different counterculture movements of the 1960s, the beatniks, the mods and later psychedelia and hippie culture. He was also a student of alternative spiritualism schools, read a lot of books on different spiritual pursuits and was very involved with the Self-Realization Fellowship in Pacific Palisades (a corner of LA between Santa Monica and Malibu).

Big figures of 1960s counterculture, such as John Lennon, Bob Dylan Simon & Garfunkel and Jim Morrison have all said they were deeply influenced by Elvis, and they were all about 15 years old when he became a big deal in the late 1950s, so I don't think we can underestimate his important influence on them at that stage of their creative taste and development. If you look up early Beatles photos they were all essentially cosplaying as Elvis.... and Bob Dylan talks about Elvis' influence on him in his most recent book.

I recently heard an interview with the author of this book and she makes the argument that Elvis' fashion involved performers like David Bowie and Harry Styles...

Then there is just the recognition and valuing of youth culture in general, and female pleasure, through his films, which were the most visible way people interacted with Elvis in the 1960s, and I think many cultural critics used the way his films appealed to youth and female youth specifically to denigrate him but I think we should exult this, because I love romantic comedy musicals and I hate that they were/are not taken as seriously as films like Beckett because I would argue just as much creative work can go into them.

And of course this brings me to sex! My favorite topic....A lot of people think of the 1950s as a time of conservative sexual politics but this just isn't the case, ask the flappers! I think we can probably trace the popularization of liberated women and sexual politics back to the first wave movement (liberated women have existed as long as time itself.... but it became much more socially acceptable during the 1910s and 20s). And its no accident the suffragate movement happened at the same time women began working in pink collar jobs in droves in the 1890s and after, and when we started to share popular culture through film (precode Hollywood was all SEX) and radio and lots of other historical changes that took place in the 1910s and 20s. If you are interested in female sexuality from a historical perspectiver this book is good.. i started reading t when i started writing fic that took place in the 1960s... but it is also something i was interested in....

I think Elvis' appeal to and the way he very visibly valued female fans and also made visible female sexuality is really really important to the sexual revolution of the 1960s. I think this, along with the way his music and style was very much culturally hybrid between Black and white southern music and the fact that he came from such a poor background was what really scared conservatives and elites. Greil Marcus has talked about how Elvis brought out the racial fears of a lot of people...

I haven't even gotten to the 1968 Singer Presents Elvis (often called the Comeback special but I am a crazy person and it was officially Singer Presents Elvis.... #tv history )

And the way this tv show both reflected and rearticulated social issues like the Civil Rights movement and women's lib... would Elvis say he was pro women's lib? No, but a lot of men at that time might have said one thing, while regularly working with and supporting and dating working women who were clearly at the very least benefiting from women's lib....

This is only the garbled mutterings of a sad history nerd.... I haven't really studied Elvis in an organized way, only as a hobby... but i'm tagging some of the other people on here who I've seen discuss this or who are smart @loving-elvis @missmaywemeetagain @whositmcwhatsit to see what they have to say..... and anyone else who wants to comment should!!!

And we're just not gonna get into his anti- hippie, pro Nixon stance in the 1970s because 15 years on speed makes you do questionable things....

A sleeping giant.

The months of Jimin’s absence are finally revealing what he’s been up to.

From the W Korea article: 

"Jimin begins to leap in the air on a sizable mattress surrounded by flowers, bouncing up and falling backwards countless times; every movement he makes recalls his graceful performance onstage; Jimin, who studied dance at an arts high school, doesn’t simply jump. Instead, he rises and appears to float in the air for an instant. The camera captures the fleeting seconds of his flight...

...Jimin casts a giant’s shadow on a large backdrop."

The hoi polloi (actually most were people who are more wealthy than we are and were invited to this fashion shindig) were getting pushed out of the way so Jimin could enter the building. MOVE OUT OF THE WAY PEASANTS, ROYALTY IS COMING THROUGH!

Commanding without even being conscious of it. 

As I was browsing Getty Images, I noticed a lot of the other guests posing for the cameras as they arrived...trying to get their moment in the flashing cameras... and there were a lot of special guests from the fashion and entertainment industries. And all Jimin wanted to do is get the heck inside the building ...fuck posing, where’s my Hobi-ah?

I could talk about the actual fashion show but I'm not sure if anyone is interested. All eyes are on Jimin. 

I should probably know who that shaggy white guy is sitting behind them but I could care less... but he sure was trying to figure out who those two young men in front of him were...

If I may, a few of my thoughts on this particular Dior menswear collection is that the silhouettes were so voluminous... shapeless really... especially the pants. They were like that in the Louis Vuitton show as well. Not a fan of billowy, wide-leg pants on men (you know how I feel about tight pants...I’m sure I’ve mentioned it a time or two). There were a lot of skirt/skort/kilt pleated type bottoms. Lots of tweed. Beautifully draping fabrics as usual. Flowy thingy details. And those rubber boots. The sounds those had to have made as the models strode around the backdrop to the narration of whatever that was ... The vibe was outdoorsy (which is what we know the summer collection was inspired by) and the ambience was... well... British country? Hoity toity quail hunting? With a dash of impracticality? Those flowy thingys are sure to get all muddy as you drag them behind you walking through that bog. 

However, there were a few pieces that stood out for me because of the texture and silhouette:

That ribbed sweatery texture looks very cozy and luxurious.

The tweed (or pattern) is classic and that jacket and pants look like something that could be tailored well for Jimin. I could see Jimin wearing either of those pieces. The bucket hats were sort of oversized (Jungkook would love them).

I love that Hobi attended the Dior show and was able to be a familiar face for Jimin. It made me feel better that he was there.

I can imagine Hobi oohing and aahing as the models went by... and Jimin trying not to giggle at him (being at his core ‘my goofy friend in sweatpants who loves soju…’) and Hobi is decked out head to toe in Dior as well.

Between the Dior show coverage and the WKorea magazine article, my poor brain is overwhelmed.

I wonder if Dior is aware of the unicorn it scored at its Menswear Fall ‘23 show... the presence of Jimin AND Hobi.... no other fashion house may ever get that lucky. 

And now the Vibe making-of video.

I commented not too long ago about when I thought the Vibe MV had been filmed and my guess was late August...and I was WRONG WRONG WRONG! Lo and behold! in the Vibe making video! Jimin's hair is blonde! under that beanie! when he and Taeyang are prepping for the video! The only time we've seen a hint of blonde Jimin was Jin's enlistment day DECEMBER 13!. Look closely, blonde hair peeking out from under Jimin’s beanie:

This little Vibe making video also showed me the friendship between Jimin and Taeyang and knowing that Jimin was influenced in his youth by Taeyang makes me understand more clearly why Jimin is not afraid and wants to be naked for us:

So I am here to thank Taeyang for that.

Is the "Modesty Influencer" a Contradiction of Kinds?

I apologize for the hiatus, once again. My laptop was destroyed in a robbery, and my passwords to everything except the google account I actually use were lost.

While I was without an outlet to express these thoughts, I've been noodling the question of whether or not being an influencer and being modest are mutually exclusive. Before I want to get into this, I want to offer something that may be difficult to hold: Modesty is not the highest Christian Virtue. It doesn't even crack the top 4 or 7, depending on who you ask, and it isn't mentioned so often in Patristic writings (they speak of Humility, not modesty). This is not to say that it isn't a virtue, or that it isn't necessary, but it is to say that to call something "not modest" (different from 'immodest') is not the same as calling it sinful. I'm also not calling anyone a low-down-no-good skank. Modesty, as I've discussed before, is not exclusively about sexuality.

Perhaps we should first discuss if it is modest to be an influencer or celebrity (micro/macro) in the first place. My instinct is to say, "No! If your career necessitates you be looked at, noticed, praised, etc., it is not modest." But, as I think of it more, I think, maybe, it depends? A good example of this is painters and writers. The best authors and painters of our day and days past were not/are not personally paid much attention. You have some cultural juggernauts like Stephen King and Jo-Row, but they are, not coincidentally, not very good to very not good. On the other hand, you have authors like Cormac McCarthy and Seamus Heaney and Arundhati Roy. With the exception of McCarthy (who was basically a hermit), Heaney and Roy did/do talks, lectures, and interviews, but it is about craft, their books, and it is chiefly for the purpose of instructing others. Good writing almost necessitates modesty and humility.

On the opposite end of this, you have models. You cannot convince me it is possible to attain modesty as a model. Maybe a hand model. Christian modeling agencies may keep ladies fully clothed, but they do not keep you modest. Tell me how someone can possibly see Christ before they see you when you're splayed (yes, in a classy fashion) on the centerfold of a catalogue.

I would say the position of a "modesty influencer" is more similar to the model than the author.

I think it should go without saying that a page titled, "Marian Modesty with Marianne" or whatever, which posts lifestyle content, look-books, and videos of Marianne frolicking in a field wearing an ankle length dress and a linen kerchief is not modest. These are just selfies. You are allowed to post selfies. I don't think this assessment changes much when it's captioned with, "Just a girl who Loves submitting to her Lord," or even some hot take about modesty itself, no matter how good or bad the take is.

However, there are some modesty pages that do not exude this same feeling of attention-seeking. The thing they all have in common is that they're instructional. Many of them are historical recreation pages. Their focus is not their own modesty, or sometimes even modesty in general. They teach you how to alter your clothes for your preferences. They teach you how to layer for more coverage, they recommend brands, and they are, ironically, more likely to be in love with fashion as a concept.

Now, modesty (& "modesty") pages have been of great help for many women looking to dress more conservatively. Inspiration and instruction both have their places. I know when I was first converting, my wardrobe needed a little overhaul. I was enslaved to the turtleneck and mini skirt outfit. Not only was it immodest, but it was a crutch in my self-confidence and a helper of my vanity. It was fruitful to get comfortable with the idea that I can feel pretty while dressing in a covered way. I really took off with veiling styles as well! I am so thankful for the women who helped me in that phase of my life, and I am thankful for them now, helping other women.

I started thinking about this before the whole ReligiousHippie controversy happened on twitter, but I think this is a shining example of it. The station of a woman in the public eye who talks mostly about religion is not similar to a private woman, or even a woman who mostly posts about herself. Different stations in life are different, alert the media. What constitutes a normal post for a normal girl is not necessarily innocuous for such a woman. Furthermore, as a public facing woman on the internet, you know what enflames people, both sexually and otherwise. It is an absolute lie that we do not have a responsibility to keep each other from stumbling-- you are your brother's keeper. Jesus says to pluck out your eyes, but scripture also says not to cause scandal. And that is what it was-- scandal in the purest meaning.

The theme here is that immodesty pretends to be something it isn't. Walking out of the house half-dressed pretends that you are not a child of God. Posting a cute picture and trying to make it about being pro-life or modest pretends that you're not just posting a little selfie.
