Under the hat, a face with a secret - a thin film of lavender highlights the makeup base; it's a way to add cream to overly olive skin. This is one of five new pastel background layers from Germaine Monteil. The lipstick is Monteil's pale red Sunset. (below) Wilhelmina Cooper in a blackberry and orange-red plaid coat at left.

This post was brought to you by Parts of the Body and the letter H.

Continuing the train of thought from: https://www.tumblr.com/shadowjackery/709801424218963968/pick-a-live-action-movie-keep-one-human-actor?source=share

Design sketches and casting notes after the cut.

The token human is Hamlet. This seems obvious to me.

Bert and Ernie are Guildenstern and Rosencrantz. Their doppelgänger are what-not muppets, who turned out looking a lot like Andy Candy and Eddie Spaghetti from "Captain Vegetable" on Sesame Street.

Gonzo is The Player. Again, this feels perfect to me. The death-challenging artiste! Gonzo turned out to be surprisingly tricky to figure out how to draw well.

Piggy would demand to be Queen Gertrude, so Kermit has to be King Claudius. Mirroring her, Link Hogthrob in drag is the Player Queen. And for the Player King, Camilla, also in drag, to stay in theme.

I never got around to casting the Ghost of Hamlet's Father. Maybe Rolf? You could talk me into Uncle Deadly, or a bedsheet ghost, or that Jim Henson muppet they used in the ol' jugband numbers, or the hideous CG recreation of Jim himself with a machine AI voice.

In Stoppard's text, the youngest player, "Alfred", plays a Queen. I changed that here: Elmo plays Alfred who plays a Princess, mirror to Ophelia, and for her I just made up a girl monster because the girl monsters on Sesame Street seem too young to be fooling around with college boys. Though, yes, now that you mention it, Elmo is also far too young to be pimped out by Gonzo, but that part of the play is supposed to be transgressive, and anyway have you ever seen Elmo interviewed on a late night show? He and Gonzo would love the joke. They would conspire to make it somehow worse.

Last minute thought that I never drew: Ophelia could also be played by a fish, because she drowns.

Laertes: "...How?!" Claudius: "Well, it's too complicated to go into here. This play is long enough." Laertes: "I understand entirely. Shall we continue?" Claudius: "Please."

Sam the American Eagle is perfect for Polonius, and I invented a different bird for his player equivalent.

Grover plays Laertes cranked up to 11, and I think that's Harry Monster or someone similar as his player equivalent.

Scooter could be Horatio. I did think of Rizzo the Rat at one point, but he would not put up with Hamlet's shit for very long, while Scooter would shrug and roll with it, which is more true to the text.

I never quite figured out castings for Osric and Fortinbras, who don't appear in these drawings, because I honestly like Sweetums for either part and couldn't decide. I think I tend toward making him Osric ("A palpable hit!"), because the Swedish Chef playing the Norwegian Prince could be hilarious:

Fortinbras: "...Wat du hey?!"

Horatio: "What is it ye would see? If aught of woe or wonder, cease your search."

Fortinbras: "De chicky cri un hackensvacken! O Morp, Wat festen toward yer unendinlindinlindin cell Ther thoo soo muchen kingen in un kaboom So bludili hast stroock?"

(My apologies to Danes, Swedes, and Norwegians...)

And, naturally, the Gravediggers who gleefully desecrate the grave of a certain much-despis'd court jester couldn't be anybody else but Statler and Waldorf.

Los empleos legales en EE.UU. disminuyeron en agosto y alcanzaron su nivel más bajo en 2023

El sector de servicios legales de Estados Unidos perdió 600 puestos de trabajo en marzo, según mostraron el viernes nuevas cifras del Departamento de Trabajo, lo que marca la primera caída mensual del empleo en la industria desde septiembre.

Los empleos en el sector legal totalizaron 1.180.900 el mes pasado, según datos preliminares desestacionalizados publicados por la Oficina de Estadísticas Laborales de Estados Unidos. El recuento incluye abogados, asistentes legales y otros profesionales del derecho.

En todas las industrias estadounidenses, la economía siguió creando empleos en marzo, lo que redujo la tasa de desempleo al 3,5%. La continua rigidez del mercado laboral podría llevar a que la Reserva Federal vuelva a subir las tasas de interés el próximo mes.

El empleo legal ha disminuido en 7.000 puestos de trabajo desde que alcanzó un máximo histórico en julio, según muestran las estadísticas del Departamento de Trabajo. Las firmas de abogados estadounidenses aumentaron su volumen en 2021 y 2022 para aprovechar una demanda inusualmente alta de los clientes de asesoramiento sobre acuerdos corporativos y otros trabajos legales.

Después de caer en agosto y septiembre, el número de empleos en el sector legal de Estados Unidos se ha mantenido relativamente estable o ha aumentado ligeramente mes tras mes.

Durante el mismo período, varios grandes bufetes de abogados estadounidenses, incluidos Cooley, Goodwin Procter, Stroock & Stroock & Lavan y Shearman & Sterling, han despedido a abogados y personal ante un ambiente más frío de fusiones y adquisiciones y una demanda vacilante.

Esta semana, el bufete de abogados Gunderson Dettmer Stough Villeneuve Franklin & Hachigian, fundado en Silicon Valley, dijo que estaba recortando el 10% de sus abogados, asistentes legales y personal en Estados Unidos.

Kirkland & Ellis, fundada en Chicago, también eliminó una cantidad no especificada de puestos de abogados esta semana, aunque un portavoz de la firma describió la medida como “basada en el desempeño” y no en despidos.

Empresas como Davis Wright Tremaine y Perkins Coie también han despedido a profesionales de negocios.

Jeffrey Lowe, de la firma de contratación legal Major, Lindsey & Africa, dijo a Reuters esta semana que espera ver más despidos en firmas de abogados de cara al segundo trimestre del año.

How the Federal Trade Commission Is Vigorously Targeting “Dark Patterns” Marketing. Is Vonage’s Nine-Figure Settlement Just the Beginning? | Stroock & Stroock & Lavan LLP

Previously nothing more than an academic description of aggressive online marketing, “dark patterns” are now giving the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) reason to mount aggressive consumer protection efforts. In November, the FTC announced a bombshell settlement with Vonage for $100 million based on this brand new theory of liability. “Dark Patterns” were largely unknown until September 2022 –…
