Happy Birthday US Navy!

Happy 246th Birthday to the United States Navy!

The WAVES (Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service) played an integral role in the Navy during WWII, taking on a wide range of duties from clerical work to aviation mechanics, aircraft navigation, and code breaking.

Ina McGee of Fitzgerald, GA, made this doll as a Christmas gift for Franklin Roosevelt. She sent it to the White House in December 1944: https://fdr.artifacts.archives.gov/objects/2991/wave-armed-service-doll

On December 26, 1944, Harriet Pickens and Frances Wills became the first female African American officers in the US Navy: https://catalog.archives.gov/id/520670

Hi my lovelies, well it has been a bit of a hectic week here and I spent yesterday on the road with clients and landed back home about midnight. Decided I would wear my navy sleeveless mid thigh dress, gloss tan hose and matching navy kitten heel pumps for my day travelling. Also took my navy blazer, however, that was still in the car so no pics of that. Apologies the pics are not the best but it was around 1 am when I took them. So love being in this navy dress as it hugs my upper body which is now hopefully starting to show some changes in shape from HRT! Loving the gloss hose too! Let me k ow what you think lovelies. Will post more over the weekend. Lots of love Bev ❤️

Frances Eliza Wills (married name: Frances Thorpe; 12 July 1910 – 18 January 1998) was an American naval officer and one of the first two African American female officers commissioned by the United States Navy. After her years with the WAVES, she worked as secretary to Langston Hughes.

Stephen Decatur by Charles Bird King (NPG).

An early hero of the United States Navy, distinguishing himself in the Barbary Wars and the War of 1812, Commodore Decatur was someone who would probably identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community in the present day.

He was very close to fellow US Navy officer Richard Somers—the two had known each other since they were midshipmen on USS United States. Somers gave Decatur a gold ring before departing on a dangerous mission during the Barbary Wars, and Decatur was inconsolable after Somers' death at Tripoli.

All his life, Decatur wore the ring that Somers had given him, inscribing the legend Tripoli 1804 on the outside of the band and R.S. to S.D. 1804 on the inside. The issue of the two men’s relationship has been treated gingerly by biographers, when it has been discussed at all. At the age of twenty-seven, Decatur married a woman he had never met, who had fallen in love with his picture. Decatur is reported to have told his wife that his first mistress would always be the sea and his country—not she. The couple never had any children. James Fenimore Cooper reported with some bemusement that Somers was never known to have relationships with women. “Although it is scarcely possible that a warm hearted young man, like Somers, should not have felt a preference for some persons of the opposite sex, it is now known that he had a serious attachment when he lost his life,” Cooper wrote, adding poetically, “Glory appears to have been his mistress.”

Oh hello lovelies and happy Saturday. Friday is casual dress day for us so here are some pictures of me mixing and matching a few things. The skirt is a casual style navy blue knit with front pockets, coupled with a soft ivory collared blouse and my glossy natural pantyhose with a matte beige pair underneath. Tried this out with my navy kitten heel pumps (that I wore a few days ago travelling for those of you with a keen eye!) and also my new black boots which arrived last week. Both the heels and the boots are sooooo incredibly comfortable. I ended up wearing the boots that received quite a few compliments. Oh yes and the pearls were just to add a bit of formality! Let me know what you think. Also played around with a new pair of nude slingbacks but will post these over the next few days. Stay safe this weekend darlings. Lots of love Bev ❤️

Pride and Prejudice One Piece where:

Sanji is Darcy / Zoro is Elizabeth

Vivi is Bingley / Jane is Nami

Luffy and Ussop are Kitty (Lu) and Mary (Usopp)

Caroline Bingley is someone like Perona, potentially

Just imagine the fight between Sanji and Zoro when Zoro finds out Vivi didn’t propose to Nami because Sanji said their family wasn’t good enough. Imagine the TENSION when Zoro finds out Sanji secretly did a bunch of good stuff for his family. Imagine the mean remarks Perona would make about Usopp and Zoro!

Imagine the HAND CLENCHING SCENE (Kiera knightly pride and prejudice obviously)
