Yeah, it’s really interesting! I’m not into fashion very much, so when I do research on historical periods or write historical fiction I tend to learn about as much of it as I can get by on and leave it at that, but obviously, that approach has its drawbacks 😀

@rochellaine

Hmm…Interesting. Those last two pictures you had have dresses very similar to the ones that I was referring to. I just find it interesting because a lot of her other costumes are exceedingly modest, and then there’s just these random ones which are extremely revealing (like, I certainly wouldn’t be wearing them!). I suppose the…[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]

@rochellaine Cool! I’ve never seen a production of Swan Lake, though I think it would be really pretty!

Well, I’ve been watching the tv show Victoria, and there’s this one dress Victoria wears regularly that really seems a bit….edgy for the Victorian period. I’ll see if I can find a picture of it…

I’m having trouble finding a picture of the…[Read more]

@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.

What are you working on? Listening to anything at the moment (I’m currently listening to Anastasia).

By the way, since you know more about historic fashion than I do, I’ve got a Victorian related clothing question.

@ariel-ashira

Awesome! *tries to think of a question that doesn’t sound weird* Did you have a good time?

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

@rochellaine

I think so, I’ve been quite lonely by myself.

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

@rochellaine

Okay, cool 😀

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

@alia Bye! I love Jonas so much! I’m currently rewriting the scene with Chessy and Jonas at the speedway and my love has been renewed 😀 I also love Jean. And names that start with J.

@alia I agree with Rochellaine, I think it could be hidden in a hill, or a riverbank or something like that. I’ve always wanted a house like the one that the Ingalls lived in, in I think, On the Banks of Plum Creek?

@rochellaine Well, I’m glad you think I did a good job. I do love a good redemption arc (my favourite thing to write ever!)

@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]

@alia But hopefully you’ll like him by the end 😛

@alia

Well, if the reactions of the other readers are to go on, you’ll probably hate him from the first 😀

@rochellaine

Well, I don’t usually like bad boys, so I don’t write them very much, but they’re coming more and more popular in contemporary fiction. I’m a solid believer in the good men, who aren’t boring. Hopefully. (Quiiiilllloon).

@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]

@rochellaine

Maybe, I don’t know. 😛

Well, I guess Dorian Grey started off as a bad boy and ended up as a villain. Byronic Hero is the “technical” term, seeing as Lord Byron wrote a lot of them.
