The outrageous, extravagant, often humorous, and sometimes beautiful outfits worn by the subjects of old portraits.

I'm usually meticulous about artist, title, date, and location, except this image appeared in my files with none of that information. In trying to locate something about it, I discovered some interesting information about 17th century men and their big hair.

Once again, the clap inspires a fashion trend! I wrote a bit about the codpiece and its connection to syphilis in this post. Well, lo and behold, men's wigs were not just purely a random whim of fashion. Apparently, untreated clap causes one's hair to fall out. Solution – the wig, or peruke, as it was called. Royalty could not suffer baldness for fear of ridicule. And so, what the king wore, the kingdom copied. That is, if they were of a stratum that allowed such luxuries. Since perukes were full and curly, it can be surmised that one need not be bald, necessarily but inherited the wrong type of hair. Of course, there were also gentlemen who received the gene for what is now called male pattern baldness. In contrast, Elizabethan era (16th century) women shaved their hairline in step with the look of the Queen, who was losing her hair naturally. Go figure.

Syphilis was running rampant through Europe and so was a sex trade. In London, the theaters in Covent offered gentlemen not only stage entertainment but also a shag, if they were so inclined. Which they were – frequently and in large numbers. The sex workers were dubbed The Nuns of Covent and entire booklets were available at the theater venue (during intermission or after the show) with reviews of the ladies' work and other information.

Harris’s List of Covent Garden Ladies’, an annual directory of prostitutes working in London published from 1757 to 1795, was a Georgian bestseller. A small guide book, it was printed and published each year at Christmas and sold for two shillings and sixpence.

I remember watching on Youtube a video about a rewritten version of Sonic forces, where Tails invented the weapons named wispons (which makes sense to me since he is the most out all Sonic's friends to get back easily to places he's been) and in my point of view Forces don't necessarily really happens it was just a way for fans to be there with the others throught the avatar but in an animated series/movie Tails invents those after frontiers maybe.

A little comedic scene with Sonic & Shadow in Bluey's world, has anyone else thought about Bluey imitating Maria Robotnik because of their dress and fur color?

Inspired by another comic there are 4 variants of Sonic & Shadow catching up with each other, can you guess how their dialogues would get?

Intersexed males lacking a scrotum or testes sometimes develop what are known as VELERICORN antlers, which are covered in velvet and festooned with various ridges and knobs; such antlers are permanent, unlike regular antlers, which are shed and regrown each season. Other males – sometimes known as PERUKES – have elaborate, misshapen antlers covered with baroque nodule-like growths. Occasionally, females develop antlers, which may be single; spiked (without branches); covered in velvet; or lacking the flat, palmate structure typical of male Moose antlers.

obsessed w the fact that im desperately trying to research (for funsies, not work) this one civil case from 1771 where John Adams was the defense for this guy, and the only primary source on it ive ever found is from Adams's notes from the trial

and ive been stuck thinking about this for over two years now bc i want to know more about the guy who was suing for damages but he continues to elude me, but I keep talking about the case w people bc everything about it is so chaotic

and i just realized the other day "oh, Adams's diaries are digitized and searchable, maybe he has more details in there, surely this was Notable"

and the only day of the trial he even mentions it, hes just like. the court sat today. and lists what he had for dinner and details a discussion of chickens he had w his in-laws.
