Catholic Bat Family 2 (Inspired by @incomingalbatross)
Alright, we're back on this thing again. So, as stated before, this is inspired by @incomingalbatross's posts and asks about the Bat Family being Catholic and I really liked, so I'll write about my ideas on it. If you wanna see her posts, go check out her blog. Also, if you wanna see the Bat Family Confirmation saints, click here.
So, with that out of the way, let's get creative! (Before we do, though, I would like to establish that Bruce is a good dad in this because that's how it should be).
So far, we've established:
Bruce's origins and current faith (Very Strong).
Alfred is Anglican
Father Brown is in this universe (and so is Flambeau).
Selina started antagonistic towards it, but thanks to a nudge from Bruce and her sister Maggie, she develops her faith on her own.
Dick is "umbrella" at first and not very formal, but joins the Church after Final Crisis (a lot of angst in this)
Jason was fiercely Catholic and wanted to become a priest before dying. When he returns, he's angry a both Bruce and the Church, but slowly he starts reconciling with both (beginning with Jason cleansing at Lourdes). He still wants to become a priest (maybe).
Tim is Protestant, likes debating, is church friends with Clark, and probably converts Kon. Also, the TOUGHEST NUT TO CRACK IN THIS WHOLE THING!
The family splinters after Final Crisis, leaving many dysfunctions unresolved.
Dick and Damian come into the faith while Bruce is "dead", and Jason returns to it, becoming the spiritual leader of the family (kind of).
When Bruce comes back, he and Jason finish mending their relationship and talk about Jason wanting to be a priest.
That leaves us with a couple of things/people to set up: Cass, Steph, Duke, the Rows, what happens to Bruce in the time stream, how Tim comes into all of this (if at all), and more.
First things first, let's talk about the other people.
Cass I feel like she would want to follow into the faith not only because Bruce is Catholic and he's the first person (besides Barbara) that ever treated her well. But because how her code follows very closely with the idea of forgiveness, redemption, and fierce defense that Catholic Christianity is known for (much like Bruce). And personally, her Confirmation saint has to be St. Joan of Arc.
She definitely found a denomination in Hong Kong or Macau, though
Steph is more tricky. From what I remember of her, she is friendly, fierce, calls people out on their bull, has a terrible home life (dad is abusive and a villain, mom is an addict), and clashes with Bruce a lot. She has a strong bond with Cass, Tim, and Barbara, which makes me think that she maybe leans more towards Protestantism but is not devout at all. She still respects the faith of Cass and the others, tho.
However, once she starts going to college, she walks by the campus church and something just... I don't know, starts calling to her. Maybe it's all of the lessons Bruce and Jason gave, maybe it's a reminder of the quiet chapel at the Manor, maybe it's all the times she listened to Damian talk about his lessons, but regardless of what it is, she begins hanging out at the church and talks with the campus priest. Eventually, she comes to Bruce and asks her to be her Godfather and Sponsor.
Duke...I honestly don't know. He seems to be a passionate kid that was raised by parents with good morals, so I wanna say he's Episcopalian, but I don't know. Anyone is welcome to suggest or add to him.
Harper and Cullen would be very angry at the world and would be very shocked a finding out Batman is Catholic. That turns their whole world on its head, and while they eventually come around to it, I don't think they would ever join the Church.
And finally (for today), Tim. He, as stated before, is the toughest nut to crack in this universe. That's because he's just so naturally skeptical of everything, likes to find answers from scratch, and just doesn't have a need to go looking for it. The only thing that I can come up with is looking into the Dominican Order, who's whole thing revolves around education and academia. And since Tim is the most affected by Bruce's "death", that might cause a giant rift in him. He goes to Ra's for help, suffers from a giant crisis of faith, and eventually stumbles upon a Dominican monastery. There, he begins researching and politely debating with the friars, eventually discussing these adventures with a playful but very intelligent priest in England.
This is getting pretty long, so I'm gonna stop here for today. Everyone is welcome to look into the other topics of discussion, share ideas, recommend new ones, and even make a post of their own (just remember to add proper credit. Even though this is not a school assignment, what starts here ends there). Just please remember to keep it civil. Don't forget, this was inspired by @incomingalbatross. Go follow her, she is awesome and posts about things beyond Batman (Doctor Who, Psych, Father Brown, Ranger's Apprentice, etc.).
Anyways, have a good one!!

Genuinely don’t know if this is the *oldest* thing I’ve touched but the St. Joan of Arc Chapel walls are almost 800 years old so I guess that works?
(Not counting naturally occurring things like people and rocks and plants)
Consider things like coins, books, or family heirlooms! Tell me about it in the tags!

Chapel Dedicated to St. Joan of Arc
Quick! Name the oldest structures not built by Native Americans in Wisconsin. Probably some pioneer's cabin or a lead miner's badger hole or the state's first capitol building in Belmont come to mind. But you're wrong. The oldest non-Native American structure is a stone chapel located in Milwaukee on the Marquette University campus. It was built in the early 1400s, if not before.
Though hundreds of years old, the chapel did not originate in Wisconsin. It was built in France in the little village of Chasse, where it was known as Chapelle de St. Martin de Seyssuel. Like many medieval structures, it was not constructed all at once but built in stages over a period of times, and the changing architectural styles can still be seen today.
Beloved by nobles and villagers alike, the chapel stood in the village for centuries. Following the First World War, Jacques Couëlle, a young architect from Aix-en-Provence, passed through Chasse, where he became enthralled by the chapel. Meticulously, he photographed, rendered architectural drawings, and measured and numbered each individual stone. In 1926, Gertrude Hill Gavin, the daughter of the famous railroad magnate James J. Hill, decided to purchase the chapel. It was dismantled stone by stone and, with Couëlle's assistance, transported to Gavin's fifty-acre estate in Jericho, on Long Island in New York.
Stone by stone, the chapel was reconstructed in Jericho. John Russell Pope, a leading architect who designed the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and the Frick Mansion (later, Museum) in New York, developed the plan. This beautiful chapel was grafted onto a massive Franch château, which Gavin had also brough to the United States, stone by stone, from France. With enough money, anything can be accomplished.
In 1962, the Gavin estate passed into the hands of Mr. and Mrs. Marc B Rojtman. Just as they were about to move into the estate, a mysterious fire broke out. The fire gutted most of the château but miraculously spared the chapel. Two years later, the Rojtmans presented the chapel to Marquette, along with numerous authentic furnishings. The chapel was again disassembled, then loaded onto trucks, each carrying a forty-thousand-pound-load, and driven to Milwaukee. Reconstruction was completely by July 1965.
Weirder even than its amazing journey from France to Milwaukee (with a stopover on Long Island) is the Joan of Arc Stone instead the chapel. Numerous legends are associated with this stone. They recount how Joan of Arc (1412-1431) prayed before a statue of the Virgin Mary, which stood on this very stone. At the end of her prayer, she delicately kissed the stone. Ever since Joan's kiss, the stone has been colder than any other stone surrounding it.
Today, you can see the ornate medieval furnishings and fixtures in the chapel for yourself. A helpful smiling undergrad studying in the back will gladly instruct you in the legend of the Chapel of St. Joan of Arc. Go ahead-you can even touch the very stone where St. Joan pressed her lips.
It's up to you what those resulting goose bumps mean.

Château Royal de Blois
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Château Royal de Blois is located in the city of Blois, France. The castle has four wings from the 13th through the 17thcenturies, giving it many design styles. In the 9th century, a medieval fortress and a county palace sat on the site. The castle has a 13th century medieval fortress, a Louis XII Gothic wing added in 1498, an Italian Renaissance wing added in 1515 by Francois I, and the Classical Gaston of Orleans wing erected in 1634 by the brother of Louis XIII and heir to the throne. The Gaston of Orleans wing was never fully completed. Due to the different construction periods and design, the castle interior has columns, pilasters, capitals, buttresses, candelabra-laced décor, stonework, open galleries, a grand spiral staircase, and a great polygonal staircase turret is open to the central courtyard. The Chapel of St Calais was consecrated in 1508. The royal castle was used by seven kings and ten queens of France during the Renaissance, while more than ten counts of Blois and three Dukes of Orleans resided in the royal chateau. The castle has an extensive history. Joan of Arc was blessed at the chateau in 1429 before setting off to defeat the English in New Orleans. The castle fell into disrepair in the 17th century and suffered further degradation. It was used as barracks in 1788. Château Royal de Blois was saved from a demolition order when it was classified as a historical monument in 1845, and restoration work began. Château Royal de Blois is open to the public.

Idk where this come from, but it was so funny to draw at midnight 🤣
The photo was taken by me, it's the St Joan of Arc's chapel inside the Cathedral of Orléans
I like to think that Gilles would worship every statue of "Joan" he would see 🤣 and Jean being annoyed by his boyfriend
I will definitely draw more of this because I really loved doing this 🤣

Today in Christian History
Tumblr media
Today is Saturday, May 30th, the 151st day of 2019. There are 215 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
727: Death of Hubert, the “Apostle to the Ardennes” (a region now comprised of Northern France, Belgium, and Luxembourg).
1232: Pope Gregory IX canonizes Anthony of Padua, the “Wonder Worker.”
1416: Jerome of Prague is burned for heresy by the Council of Constance. He had been a follower of reformer Jan Hus.
1431: Joan of Arc walks to the market square in Rouen, Normandy, where she is to be burned, kneels and prays for her enemies, then mounts the pyre of wood. As the flames leap up, she asks for a cross to be held before her. Her final word is “Jesus.”
1525: Last preserved letter of Conrad Grebel, written from Zurich, to his brother-in-law Vadian, is a vigorous plea against attempts to suppress Anabaptists by fines, confiscation of property, imprisonment, or death.
1527: Philip of Hesse opens the University of Marburg.
1574: Death of King Charles IX of France, haunted by superstitious terrors because of the Huguenots he had ordered to be massacred in the infamous St. Bartholomew’s Day Massacre.
1639: Death of Metrophanes Kritopoulos, Orthodox patriarch of Alexandria, Egypt. His discussions with Protestants prompted him to write an exposition of Eastern Orthodox doctrine, based on the early church fathers, in an attempt to achieve Christian unity.
1756: Death at Bulstrode of Elizabeth Elstob, who had broken sex barriers to learn Anglo-Saxon. Among her translations was An English-Saxon Homily on the Birthday of St. Gregory, anciently used in the English-Saxon church, giving an account of the conversion of the English from paganism to Christianity. She had been a fervent defender of the Church of England.
1792: William Carey preaches a famous sermon on Isaiah 54:2-3, before the Baptist Association meeting in Nottingham, England, at the Friar Lane Baptist Chapel, urging his listeners to "expect great things, attempt great things."
1819: At the request of his father-in-law, Anglican bishop Reginald Heber pens the words to his missionary hymn, “From Greenland’s Icy Mountains.”
1822: A slave betrays plans for a massive uprising planned by African Methodist preacher Denmark Vesey in Charleston, South Carolina. One hundred and thirty one African Americans are arrested and Vesey’s church is closed. Some of the plotters will be executed and others deported.
1858: Ordination in Maryland of Charles Grafton as a priest in the Episcopal Church. He will found the Sisters of the Holy Nativity and later, as a bishop, will stir controversy because of his fondness for ritual and vestments.
1868: In a letter, Father Weld accepts Gerard Manley Hopkins into the Jesuits. Hopkins will work as a priest among the poor, writing, but not publishing, the poems for which he is famous today, which the world will first see after his death.
1892: Death in Lucknow, India, of Ram Chandra Bose. An ardent Christian evangelist and educator, he had written apologetics, served as a member of India’s Congress, and been a delegate to international religious conferences.
1933: Death in Boga, Congo, of African evangelist Apolo Kivebulaya.
1972: Death in prison of Watchman Nee, famed Chinese evangelist.

Journal Post Week 6
When analyzing the architecture around Milwaukee, I have noticed the implementation of historical architectural styles. The first observation I made was that pillars can be seen in many of the city's structures. While walking to class, I became aware of a highly decorated building that showed Corinthian style pillars. Stylistic pillars originated from ancient Egypt and took on several forms throughout history. They prove to have a rich architectural history and remain admired in modern day. I then noticed that the building was further decorated with an ornate frieze that reminded me of Greek sculpture from mid to 5th century BCE. The Greeks often created complex sculptures upon their buildings that told stories or commemorated Gods. The sculpted foliage upon the building is a trademark of this ancient Greek practice. The evolution of these ancient pillars can be seen in my next observation of a parking structure in the third ward. Here we see quite simple and industrial pillars holding up a roof in an alleyway. These pillars resemble the final Tuscan stage of the pillar, where it is sleek and lacks decoration. Upon further research of architecture in Milwaukee I discovered the St. Joan of Arc Chapel near Marquette. This chapel servs as a historical landmark known for its early Gothic architecture. The building contains Gothic elements such as highly decorated pointed arches, and large stained-glass windows. We can also see a small amount of ribbed vaulting that occurs in the apse of the church, allowing the structure to support more weight. This structure made me think of a notable Milwaukee landmark, the North Point Tower. When researching the structure, I discovered that it was originally a water pump for the city that was built in 1873. The tower is built in Victorian Gothic style and shows pointed arches, as well as a heavily decorated cone roof. Victorian Gothic architecture originated from Gothic architecture of 1100-1450 AD. Key elements of Victorian Gothic style include decorative masonry, stone quoins, and pressed brick.

Milwaukee Marvels
The wonderful city of Milwaukee has much beauty and engaging history behind its iconic architecture. From Frank Lloyd Wright’s prairie style homes to St. Joan of Arc Chapel, the oldest building in Milwaukee- the work in this great area is as stunning as the tales of old.
The Burnham Block in Milwaukee features six homes designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. These homes were part of a specific concept and vision.
“He was trying to demonstrate that the common man could live inside a piece of art,” explains Nicholas Hayes, author of “Frank Lloyd Wright’s Forgotten House: How an Omission Transformed the Architect’s Legacy.”
Nestled in the heart of the Marquette University campus, the St. Joan of Arc Chapel is the oldest building in Milwaukee, though it wasn’t originally built there.
“It’s another great preservation story — it’s not very often that a building gets moved from France,” states Julia Griffith, program director of Historic Milwaukee Inc.

2018 Met Gala:  Still Weird AF
The theme this year was “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination,” and yes, it was as weird as you’d expect, but lamely without the sort of violent martrydom references that would make this shitshow properly Catholic, as we’ve already established.  
There were several categories, including Committed to Theme, White Dress, Gold Dress, Statement Gloves, Bead the Shit Out of It, Just Stick Something on My Head, and Themes Are for Losers, so off we go.
Committed to Theme, If Weirdly So
Tumblr media
Host Rihanna as Glam Pope, which honestly looks really uncomfortable since it’s beaded inside as well as out?  What is that?  Also our first example of multi-theme, encompassing White Dress, Bead the Shit Out of It, and Stick Something on My Head.
Heinously long post, so click for like 90 examples of this crazy shit.
Tumblr media
Ruby Rose committing to a Sexy Cardinal costume, which is not something I ever thought I’d have to type, but here we are.  At the Met Gala.  Where you type all kinds of things you never expected.
Tumblr media
Taylor Hill, realizing someone else is wearing a Sexy Cardinal costume, although I personally prefer this one, mostly because of the cape.  Yeah, I know.  I like capes.
Tumblr media
Sticking Zoe Kravitz in here because I’m pretty sure this is like a Spanish lace mantilla veil you’re supposed to wear when you meet the Pope, only not worn in the traditional manner.
Tumblr media
Sarah Jessica Parker making it in here rather than Gold Dress or Thing on My Head because she appears to be wearing an entire small chapel thing on her head, and she really does deserve recognition for that level of commitment.   
Tumblr media
Katy Perry definitely committed with those ugly-ass wings, which I’m going to assume she took off before she went in, because there is a dance component to the Met Gala and those would make that particular part kind of weird.  She will, however, be able to stay in both the Gold Dress category and mail subcat even without them, so that’s some solid planning.
Tumblr media
Lily Collins sneaking out of the Just Stick Something [Art Deco] on My Head category by coming as some sort of sci-fi slutty nun thing.  As you do.
Tumblr media
Greta Gerwig, not sure her nun costume was as good an idea as she thought at home.  
I’m assuming this is some sort of weird Dark Angyl costume thing on Kate Moss, or maybe it’s a Fallen Angel thing and the nauseous look is her still trying to get over the drop?
Tumblr media
Okay, Ariana Grande, your putti-covered fresco dress gets you into the Theme category, despite that giant organza bow on your head, which I assume is the result of a lost bet.  Also, did you ladies go in on gold eyeshadow together, because I can’t imagine you use it that much in general, but EVERYBODY is busting that shit out tonight.  Maybe they put some in the Met bathrooms, I hear they put emergency kits in the ladies’ rooms at these sorts of shindigs.  Like a seamstress team just in case.
Tumblr media
Shailene Woodley, realizing that wearing a homemade Joan of Arc costume to the Met Gala was a mistake.  
Tumblr media
Zendaya, wearing a Joan of Arc costume that doesn’t pass the My Lungs Are Up Here test, and though it does have pauldrons they’re Cold Shoulder Pauldrons, which is pretty weird, but is definitely making Shailene Woodley jealous.
Tumblr media
How many Marys can you wear on one dress?  Stella Maxwell is out to find out.
Tumblr media
Madonna couldn’t go with the obvious getup here, so instead she’s done another nun thing?  Like a goth nun, which has definitely been a thing, although the black roses aren’t something I’ve seen before.
Tumblr media
I don’t know what’s up with Tessa Thompson’s jacket, but the beaded priest’s collar is an interesting contribution to the theme.
Tumblr media
And the category trophy goes to Lana del Rey, not for the heart being stabbed a bunch of times so much as the eyeball lorgnette, which is absolutely the sort of St. Lucy-esque martrydom imagery I came here for.  She’d rank highly in the Shit on the Head category as well, although as we’ll see SJP has that one covered.
Themes Are for Losers
Tumblr media
Amal Clooney, after several years still managing to show up looking like she’s showing up to her husband’s work party as a favor, and yet blow away most of the competition without trying.  Even when wearing this very peculiar getup.
Tumblr media
I do love when someone shows up not only ignoring the theme but clearly not giving a hoot in hell and just being weird AF because the Met Gala is where you do that, and Frances McDormand has definitely walked away with that prize this year.
Tumblr media
I’m honestly not sure if Diane Kruger just said “the hell with the theme, I’m wearing 18th century decor puffed all over my ass and no one can stop me,” or if this is supposed to evoke Rococo chapels or some shit? 
Tumblr media
This looks like Salma Hayek might have been going for the theme, but ended up with some sort of cross-stitch instead.  I has a parrot, though, so I’m for it.
Tumblr media
Tiffany Haddish has managed to add a train to a surplice neckline shirt that’s sort of sneaking, with those black pants, towards a pseudo-tux look, and I’m absolutely down with that, although I have to detract some personal points because there’s something about sparkly pants I just can’t support.  Trained shirts, however, definitely.
Just Stick Something on My Head
Tumblr media
Cardi B, also multi-category but with that thing we’ll go with headwear as the main thing.   Also an example of Giant Fluffy Things on My Hips, for...reasons? 
Tumblr media
SZA, with a solid commitment to tiara/halo cateogry, and a tutu-ish contribution to the fluffy shit on on the hips subcat, with a nod at beading the shit out of it with the boots.  May actually be some sort of coked-up ballet costume that picked up the boots at a sketchy club, it is New York, after all.
Tumblr media
Amanda Seyfried phoning it in with that tiara; this is much more of a cop-out Midsummer Night’s Dream schtick than anything else.
Tumblr media
Normally I would detract points from Princess Beatrice just slapping on a tiara type thing, because come on, you’re a princess, that’s everyday stuff, but since her grandmother is head of the Church of England the Catholicism thing is a little dicey, so I’ll cut her some slack on this one.
Tumblr media
Pompom veil!  Or...pompom scarf worn as a veil, which doesn’t even qualify as weird at this shindig, although Kate Bosworth would get more points if it matched the white/cream dress. instead of being a colder shade of white with silver edging.  Come on, woman.  Get it together.
Tumblr media
I wouldn’t normally include Doutzen Kroes even in the “screw it” category, except that she’s got this extra bit tossed over her head, which I don’t think has anything to do with the theme, but some other people have been doing that in weird ways and I have the terrible feeling “extra hood-y/veil-y bits slung over the head” is going to become a Thing on the runway and wanted to make sure you saw it here first.  
Tumblr media
This thing, this thing on Kate Upton, that’s what I’m talking about. And not the weird flower crown thing, either.  
Tumblr media
The thing on Priyanka Chopra is not what I’m talking about, as while she has the Bollywood training to pull off this level of bling around her face, as well as  match the makeup to that wine-red velvet monster, most people do not.  She is rocking this look, however, and knows it, so good for her.
Tumblr media
Oh, god, maybe the beaded cowl thing is going to be a Thing?  Nicki Minaj thinks it’s going to be a Thing.  Possibly a Vampire Goth Thing?  Oh, god.
Tumblr media
It’s like a beaded face veil over a Spanish Iron body veil thing on Cara Delevingne, although she’s definitely worn weirder things.
Tumblr media
I really wonder what Hailee Steinfeld’s monster looks like in the back; that doesn’t look like a Butt Bow so much as a Butt Modern Art Fiber Sculpture, which is taking Butt Embellishments to a new and weird level.
Tumblr media
Now Jill Kargman has COMMITTED to the weird shit on the head thing, not only those weird black flowery bits but also the big long sticks, because go big or go home, evidently.
Tumblr media
Amber Heard has actually managed to find a head thing that does indeed look like a Renaissance halo thing, so points for that, but is also wearing a butt bow AND a train, and that is some serious commitment to hauling crap around behind you.
Tumblr media
Yeah, that’s the face of someone who knows there’s a pineapple looking thing on her head, made of her own hair.  I’m so sorry, Sasha Lane.  She can, however, go straight to bed in the back of the limo wearing that nightie thing, and that’s definitely a plus.
Tumblr media
Janelle Monáe started stacking stuff on her head, and I’m not sure if there are more layers on there over the hat or not.  It’s possible.  You never know with Monáe.
Tumblr media
Solange also stacking shit on her head, also possibly going for some kind of martyr-y facial expression?  Or maybe just bored?  Walking up a staircase with a million photographers doesn’t actually look like that fun.
Tumblr media
Kylie Jenner is wearing see no evil glasses on her head, which may also make it really hard to see the stairs?  Maybe stairs are also evil?  She probably has somebody to guide her up, though, that stands out of the frame periodically.  So she doesn’t have to see the evil stairs.
Tumblr media
Winnie Harlow making her way out of the White (weddingesque) Dress category with a spiky cloud thing on her head.  What is that thing even made of?  It looks like paper, which is actually a good idea and probably more comfortable than a lot of these things.
Statement Gloves
Tumblr media
Bella Hadid, with small entry in the Just Stick in On My Head category, and Black Dress.  What the Star Wars capey thing contributes I’m not clear on, but maybe that’s just the limits of my Catholic Imagination.
Tumblr media
Mindy Kaling makes it in here with the gloves because I can’t believe that thing on her head lasted very long.  Is she married?  Otherwise she can totally reuse this thing at her wedding, too, so that’s some good planning.
Tumblr media
Riley Keough managed to get some lapels in here, and I’m a sucker for lapels for some reason, so that’s points from me even if I’m not sure what brought about the glove decision here.
Tumblr media
Alicia Vikander managed to pull a sort of cardinal cope thing here, although she clearly doesn’t care that much about the theme and decided this was just a good opportunity to pull out some gothy eyeliner, which does actually work for her, weirdly.
Bead the Shit Out of It
Tumblr media
Donatella Versace, joining in the “my boots match my bodice and I blinged them both out” club along with SZA, and narrrrrrowly escaping Butt Cape territory by having basically an entire Leg Cape thing going on. 
Tumblr media
Even at the Met Gala, someone must ALWAYS come as a featherduster, and this time it was Kris Jenner in a black dress subcat with more bling than strictly necessary for a featherduster.
Gold Dress
Tumblr media
Olivia Munn rolling in a pseudo-Egyptian getup that also fits into the “chainmayle” subcat as well as “just stick something on my head.”  Apparently the cowl is meant to evoke the Crusades, which is honestly more than a little disturbing on multiple levels.
Tumblr media
Jasmine Sanders in a gold dress that appears to be made of plastic, and if that thing is not glued or taped to her boobs (which is done in pageants), I will be extremely surprised indeed.
Tumblr media
Kiersey Clemens solidly in Gold Dress land (subdivision pseudo-Egyptian), but does this count as Beaded to Shit, or the mesh/mail subcat?  And what is up with this tiny gold suitcase?  Is there something in Catholicism about tiny gold suitcases?  Religion is weird, I wouldn’t be surprised.
Tumblr media
Slinging Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in the Gold Dress rather than Stick In On My Head category because that one’s getting awfully full and that’s a pretty lame-ass halo thing she’s got going on.  She’d get more points if she were playing around with the cape doing angel wing-y dances with it, but she kind of looks ready to hurl here, so maybe she’s just not feeling up to it.
Tumblr media
I’m not sure if Joan Smalls has those hair sticks for stabbing people, or she’s hanging onto them for some kind of mermaid gig?  
Tumblr media
Evan Rachel Wood appears to have ripped the feathers off all six of the archangel Gabriel’s gold wings, and by the look on her face she’s daring the Supernatural fandom to say something.  (They’re going to say something.  With a gif.)
Tumblr media
I honestly don’t know what’s going on here with Lena Dunham, it looks like a vaguely terrifying Regency-era fancy-dress costume going for eighteenth century bewigged and powdered something or other.  She’s committed to something, at least, I’ll give her that.
White Dress
Tumblr media
Look, there are white dresses, and there are wedding dresses, and no matter how many crosses Uma Thurman throws on she still looks in need of a minister and a guy in a tux here.
Tumblr media
This smirk is Dakota Fanning knowing that she’s more comfortable than most people here, and the white Greco-Roman thing here makes sure she fits in without looking weird.
Tumblr media
And this is Keri Russell not giving a damn, because she has done the same thing, well done, Russell.  
Tumblr media
Kendall Jenner has taken the red carpet pants phenomenon and added trains.  To her pant legs.  That’s not something I would have done with white pants, personally, but I guess she can always cut them off if they get really gross and dirty.
