if the national maritime museum were actually committed they'd sell little replicas of the terrible historical nelson merch in their collection

Yesterday, for the first time, I saw “The good, the bad and the ugly”… And I loved it! I’m not a huge fan of western movie, but I loved the atmosphere, the characters and the dialogues so much! So here is a little animation of Angel Eyes or “the bad”

A creamware pitcher with transfer-printed decoration of the signals of the Portland Observatory (photo mine, taken at the Portland Museum of Art).

The Portland Observatory is often mistaken for a lighthouse, but is in fact a maritime signal tower, and the only remaining such tower in the United States.

Due to the many islands in Portland’s harbor, ships weren’t visible from the wharves which made it difficult for merchants who needed to prepare for the arrival of their cargo. Built in 1807 on Portland’s Munjoy Hill by Captain Lemuel Moody, the tower used signal flags and telescopes to alert shipping merchants when their ships were sighted. Moody charged a $5 subscription to these merchants to have their signal flags stored in the observatory.

The tower was functional until 1923, when communication by radio made it obsolete. Today it is a museum open during the summer months.

The ehlers danlos syndrome person to historical costumer pipeline is or will be a thing and I shall explain why.

At some point one discovers that some sort of supportive structure around your torso feels incredibly comfortable and gives your tired muscles a rest. What’s the coolest and most non obtrusive torso bracing garment? A corset. Believe me when I say that when your torso has the structural integrity of a wet sack of jello, a tightly laced corset makes you feel like a god.

And because historical corsets tend to be more comfortable and are usually made with regular wear in mind, they are the natural choice.

Then you have the shoes. What shoes is someone with unstable ankles supposed to wear, you ask?Lace up boots, for stability. And due to their middle of the heel heel placement, historical lace up boots tend to be way more comfortable than the modern variety.Even the non healed ones, really. Couple that with the fact that Edwardian and Victorian boots are really really pretty…

And after the boots and the corset, it’s a very slippery slope.

Pretty soon you’ll be wondering how to hide your corset under your clothes for when an outer corset is not the vibe, and you’ll be buying yourself a corset cover. Or making one yourself. They’re a great starter project. But that looks weird with a fitted top so cool flowy blouse it is.

Then you realize wearing this with a skirt makes you feel intensely powerful but you don’t want to keep tripping over it so you add petticoats.

And then you realize your neck isn’t so great at holding up your head so you really need to find a hairstyle where your hair sits on top of your head instead of to the sides or to the back so that it’s balanced and you don’t get a neck ache. A high bun it is. Not too tightly, because your scalp is sensitive, but a high bun still works if you bobby-pin it in place.

And then one day, you look in the mirror and you’re dressed like Anne of Green Gables.

And you’ve never looked cooler.
