The fledgling Artist

@seekjustice Wow, that’s very pretty!  And yes, it looks pretty accurate.  The belt could be worn a little lower, but it’s fine where it is.  I can’t see the hemline, so I can’t tell about that, but the top looks great.  I’d also need to know what year or years specifically if I were to check the hemline, as you can see from the chart I showed Val…[Read more]

@valtmy Wow, that was very interesting.  Thanks for introducing me to it!

@ariel-ashira It would seem so.  Probably not the best idea…for me at least. 😛  @seekjustice of course won’t be going to bed for several more hours, and I think it’s daytime where Valtmy lives too, isn’t it?

@rochellaine @seekjustice @valtmy You guys still up?  My Dad and I found a place to stop for the night.  We are in Wyoming.  I have been reading your posts, but not saying much because it takes an ice age to type on tablets.  Goodnight!

@seekjustice Do you mean the movie or the musical?  I haven’t seen either, but I’ve seen clips of the movie.  I can’t find pictures of the costumes worn in the musical, and if it’s in the movie I’m not sure what dress you’re talking about.  Do you have a picture?

@valtmy I’ve not heard of it. 😮  I know mostly American and a lot of British and a very little European history. 😛  That sounds really cool, though!  I’ll have to look it up, or can you tell me more about it?

Well, but of course there were flappers!  There were a lot of flappers.  It’s just that the 20s are portrayed as though every single pers…[Read more]

@seekjustice Haha, yes, Gibson Girl fashion is a bit extreme.  I much prefer the more sensible WWI era fashion.  However, I do enjoy the Gibson Girl cartoons when I can find them.  They’re very amusing.

Oh, that collage is sweet. 🙂

@valtmy No, no.  I do not like the modern trend of YA fiction where the teenager saves the world just because he…[Read more]

@seekjustice What do you think of the pre-WWI Gibson Girl fashions?  Ah, the Olympics are very interesting.  And they were very different from what they are now!!

@valtmy There aren’t many monarchs that interest me greatly for some reason.  I’m very fond of Lady Jane Grey and her cousin Edward, but other than that I usually prefer the people wh…[Read more]

@valtmy I meant what is considered the modern period of history, from about the 1600s to the present.  I don’t like ancient history much, and don’t know much about the middle ages so I was wondering what was your favorite period out of the section of history I study the most.

My favorite period is from about 1912-1970. 😀  But I have a few o…[Read more]

@seekjustice Standards for modesty depended a lot on the time of day and the place or event.  Ball gowns have always been less modest than everyday clothing.  So has swimwear.  Women didn’t swim with men during that period, but if you go forward fifty years to the 1890s-1900s, which I know more about, you see that walking dresses covered up to th…[Read more]

@seekjustice Oh, do you like ballet?  I wouldn’t have thought so.

The Victorian era had very interesting standards of modesty. 😉  Showing your ankle was considered obscene and scandalous, and yet showing shoulders and even a bit of cleavage was common during certain events.  I don’t think it would be appropriate for going out in the daytime, bu…[Read more]

@seekjustice We were not there very long, but it was amazing to see each other!

@seekjustice Well, I am watching a bit of Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake on YouTube.  I found a version where they don’t die in the end, but kill the villain instead. 😀  I think I probably needed that after being reminded of Zac tonight. 😉

Hm, I don’t like Victorian fashion much, but go ahead, shoot, and I’ll see if I can help.

@ariel-ashira C…[Read more]

@seekjustice @rochellaine Alia and I just met in real life!  But I am back now.

@seekjustice Aw. 🙂 Well, I’m here now. 😀  What are we going to talk about tonight?

@seekjustice I’m back. 🙂  Is everyone else gone?

@seekjustice I’ll be back in a little while.

@alia I would picture it sort of like the sod shanties or dugouts from Little House on the Prairie.  Those are like cottages, but they are a bit disguised.

@alia Yes, like the Bible says, evil is thought good, and good is thought evil. 🙁  It’s quite possible for guys to be “cool” without being bad, but a lot of people don’t realize that. 😛

@seekjustice Quillon is really sweet.  Forgive me, but even with his strength in protecting Sapphire I think he’s not quite as strong as Justice or Zac (…[Read more]

*pops head in* It might look like a tree, be covered in branches.
Or if there are big trees, inside of a tree with a staircase down. (Like in the Princess Bride. But maybe not a button. Instead it could have a branch you pull to open the door.)
Or it could be built in the side of a mountain with the entrance behind a bush. @alia
Good night!…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira Yes, I think the term can be used as a sort of endearment, but I don’t think I was too harsh in my assessment.  SeekJustice rather was. 😛  Since “bad” has been getting worse in modern society, what’s considered just a normal, cute and rule-bending guy, by non-Christians I would consider to be a pretty awful person, probably.  Li…[Read more]
