Novashent - Firemane in Flight

Kathalia Firemane, dragon freeblade, takes to the skies over Nova!

------------

Another "Year of the Dragon" entry, and an excuse to try my hand at drawing Kathalia Firemane, an alternate version of Kroashent's heroine, Kathalia Bisclavret, from Ivanks's excellent fantasy setting "World of Nova.  I've tried my hand at Novan Kath before (Links below), but I wanted to try and get the Novan proportions and design a little closer to the original.  I think she came out looking quite cute and badass!

Other drawings of Novan Kath:

Trophy Wife to CEO: How Women are Turning Perceptions Upside Down

The term “trophy wife” has long carried a negative connotation, conjuring up images of a young, beautiful woman married to a wealthy older man, often dismissed as mere decoration. Traditionally, these women were seen as lacking ambition or depth and valued solely for their appearance. However, in recent years, many women who once fit the stereotype are actively shattering these perceptions by becoming successful entrepreneurs, business leaders, and philanthropists. This shift has turned the “trophy wife” concept on its head, highlighting how women are using their unique positions to build careers, become influencers, and even run companies.

The Traditional Image of a Trophy Wife

Historically, the term “trophy wife” has been rooted in the idea of a woman whose primary asset is her physical beauty. She was often portrayed as a passive figure, dependent on her husband for financial security, living a life of leisure and luxury. However, this outdated image fails to capture the complex reality of many women who, despite being in relationships with affluent men, possess significant ambition, intelligence, and leadership capabilities.

Real-Life Examples of Empowered Trophy Wives

Several high-profile women have made headlines for turning the “trophy wife” stereotype upside down. These women have used their social status, intelligence, and ambition to build successful careers and make a difference in their communities.

1. Georgina Bloomberg

Georgina Bloomberg, daughter of billionaire Michael Bloomberg, could easily have fit into the “trophy wife” mold if she had lived solely in her father’s shadow. However, she has instead pursued a successful career as a professional equestrian and animal rights activist. In addition to her sports career, Georgina is an entrepreneur and co-author of a series of novels centered on the equestrian world. Her efforts in animal advocacy, particularly through the Bloomberg Family Foundation, demonstrate how she has used her resources and position to make a meaningful impact.

2. Melania Trump

Melania Trump, wife of former U.S. President Donald Trump, is often labeled a “trophy wife” because of her relationship with a much older and wealthier man. Yet, before her marriage, Melania had an established career as a model. During her tenure as First Lady, she launched the “Be Best” campaign, which focused on the well-being of children and online bullying. Her work in promoting initiatives aimed at improving children’s welfare shows how she has navigated the challenges of being in the public eye, turning her position into a platform for advocacy.

3. Elle Macpherson

Supermodel Elle Macpherson was once known as “The Body” during her modeling career, celebrated for her physical appearance. After marrying billionaire Jeffrey Soffer, she could have chosen to rest on her laurels as a classic “trophy wife.” Instead, Macpherson transitioned into a successful entrepreneur. She founded her wellness brand, WelleCo, which sells supplements aimed at promoting health and beauty. Her company has become a multimillion-dollar business, showing how she used her public image to create a thriving enterprise. Macpherson’s entrepreneurial success highlights how a woman can leverage beauty and fame to build something sustainable and valuable beyond her relationship.

4. Victoria Beckham

Victoria Beckham is another powerful example. After her marriage to football star David Beckham, many saw her as the quintessential “trophy wife” in a celebrity marriage. However, she took her career into her own hands and has since built a luxury fashion empire, turning herself from a former pop star into a recognized and respected designer. Victoria’s journey from being part of the Spice Girls to running a multimillion-dollar fashion brand is an illustration of how women labeled as “trophy wives” can take control of their professional destinies, defying expectations.

5. Ivanka Trump

Ivanka Trump, daughter of former President Donald Trump and wife of real estate developer Jared Kushner, is another high-profile example of a woman who defies the trophy wife stereotype. Despite her family’s wealth and connections, Ivanka has built a career of her own, both in the business world and in politics. She served as a senior advisor during her father’s presidency, overseeing economic initiatives, particularly those aimed at workforce development and women’s empowerment. Before that, Ivanka launched her own fashion and lifestyle brand, showing that she had ambitions and professional achievements independent of her famous family.

Breaking Free from Stereotypes

Women like Georgina Bloomberg, Melania Trump, Elle Macpherson, Victoria Beckham, and Ivanka Trump are just a few examples of how the modern “trophy wife” stereotype is being dismantled. Rather than accepting a limited role defined by beauty or their relationships, they are using their privileged positions to launch businesses, advocate for social causes, and pursue personal ambitions.

These women show that intelligence, leadership, and ambition are just as important as appearance, and being in a relationship with a wealthy or powerful man does not limit their potential. They demonstrate that a so-called “trophy wife” can be just as skilled in the boardroom as she is glamorous in the public eye. For many, financial independence within their marriages has also been key. By maintaining their income streams or businesses, they avoid becoming fully reliant on their partner’s wealth.

The Challenges of Shifting Perceptions

Despite their success, these women still face skepticism and criticism. The media often fixates on their physical appearance or family ties, diminishing their achievements. For instance, Ivanka Trump’s career is often overshadowed by her association with her father, while Melania Trump has frequently been the subject of superficial media coverage focused more on her looks than her initiatives.

However, these women have proven that they are more than capable of navigating public scrutiny while continuing to build and lead in their respective fields. They have not only turned the “trophy wife” stereotype upside down but have also paved the way for a new generation of women to embrace their power, influence, and potential.

The shift from “trophy wife” to CEO is a powerful reflection of how women today are reclaiming their identities and redefining success. The examples of Georgina Bloomberg, Melania Trump, Elle Macpherson, Victoria Beckham, and Ivanka Trump demonstrate that the label of “trophy wife” is not an indicator of ambition, intellect, or capability. Instead, these women are proving that they can be both beautiful and brilliant, successful and independent, glamorous and entrepreneurial. Through their achievements, they are dismantling stereotypes and showing that women have the power to shape their futures, no matter how society may label them.

ANDRIJA ARTUKOVIĆ 

Andrija Artuković je prema kreiranoj optužnici komunističke partije Jugoslavije osuđen za ratne zločine koji se nikada u povijesti NDH nisu niti dogodili. 

Uz pomoć pojedinih lažnih svjedoka koji su te događaje uz pomoć UDBE i tužiteljstva izmislili Artuković je osuđen na smrtnu kaznu. Poznati povjesničari Ivo Goldstein i Milan Bulajić potvrđuju promašaje  tužiteljice Ivanke Pintar Gajer i njezinog zamjenika Ante Nobila jer u povijesnim knjigama ti događaji za koje su teretili Artukovića nisu se nikada dogodili, jednostavno izmišljeni. 

Pogledajte video uz argumentirane dokaze i slike Andrije Artukovića iz Amerike iz 1958. godine koje se rijetko mogu vidjeti.

Eva Bregovac, 1.b, Hotelijersko-turistička škola Opatija: Običaji u Liču (za natječaj Jer moja priča blista budi furešta il’ turista! )

Lič je mjesto u Gorskom Kotaru, pored Fužina. U Liču ima otprilike 450 stanovnika. Većinom su to starije osobe. U Liču je do prošle godine bila područna škola (od 1. do 4. razreda), a za starije razrede (od 5. do 8. razreda) učenici idu u OŠ Ivanke Trohar Fužine. Kako u školi već dugi niz godina nije bilo više od 15 učenika, u prizemlju  školske zgrade  postavljena je Etnografska zbirka. Nakon…

Kroashent Character Spotlight: Salia Blackwater

Val's Notes: Salia Blackwater is the central figure of the Dragons of Dreger, the firstdaughter of their patron, Elara Blackwater. Like the others, Salia, began as a guest character, an informal "trade" between my world of Alvez and the world of Nova, the setting of the artist Ivanks. In Nova, Salia has a very complex and detailed backstory, intrinsically and tightly entwined with the lore and story of that setting. Many of the aspects present in Salia Blackfang's history simply do not have a direct analogue to Alvez, and so I tried to keep to the spirit of the character, a pawn in a political game between powerful factions who comes into her own agency and sense of self, drawing from power deep within her.

Salia is meant to be a little more conservative and controlled than the energetic troublemaking of Anjela, and I focused on these two to draw parallels. Salia's uniform is based on a modified version of that of the Lethan Windguard, military aeronauts who ride the flying windships through the skies. Her outfit is a bit more complex and individualized to show off her status and individuality.

I am very happy with the direction the aesthetics of Alvez have taken, and sometimes inspiration can strike from unlikely places. Also, if you like in depth well-crafted worlds and fleshed out characters, be sure to check out Ivanks' "World of Nova" series: https://www.deviantart.com/ivanksmw
