I love images of late Victorian/Edwardian period men taking goofy pictures with their bros……..boys night circa 1898
Images with high levels of Bertie Wooster energies:
vintage “me and the lads are absolutely sauced rn”
my boy Eugene has two glasses of absinthe and thinks it’s hot to stand on Eustice as though he were a table
Ingrid Bergman
I feel like everyone is talking about reviving the flapper aesthetic for the 20s, when there is clearly only one “twenties” fashion that needs to be brought back…

i’m watching trailers for upcoming movies and got to Mary Queen of Scots and margot robbie pulled off her big, noble rich bitch wig and booyyyyy. this hoe out here lookin like IT lil cousin THAT
THATS HOW THEY ALL LOOKED THEN THOUGH!
thats how all them bitches look now under all that bronzer and contour too!
nobody had hair under the wigs?? what were they doing wrong like…it’s a wig
nope! they used to lose their hair. and the white chalky face? to conceal their scars from various diseases, the makeup was made of lead and even vinager and only made the skin worse.but yeah all those “fashionable women” wore that makeup to cover up small pox. (Alot of their skin problems though…were the result of poor hygiene)
I also wanna point out her pupils, which are huge, they used belladonna if they had light eyes, to make them look dark,big and shiny.
and yeah, they wore wigs because they used to shave their hairlines waaaaay back to fake a high forehead. and well, they either shaved all of it off, or lost it because they spent their teens using urine or other chemicals to get “fair hair”. by the time they reached their 20′s and popped out a few kids (and lived) they’d lost it all.
(sorry i just know wayy too much about this period, lol)
margot robbie fucking up her own hairline to portray them old colonizers as they truly were while also undermining the euro centric beauty standards those same uglies implemented across the globe? i stan
