today’s mood is inspector jack robinson just fucking rolling with the punches. miss fisher knows judo? of course. dot’s infiltrated a factory and is now their key witness? well, obviously. miss fisher is already at the crime scene that she should know nothing about? why on earth wouldn’t she be?

we’re just gonna drop into the ocean from where we’re hanging off the bottom of this fishing pier even though we’re fully clothed and it’s the middle of the night? okay, sure.

This face says it all

Historical paintings of women, fully clothed are now “explicit,” okay

It’s because of their tantalizing locked gaze with the viewer which amounts to a sexual challenge rather than them demurely looking down or into the middle distance or towards a small book on the flowers of southern France

You know what we need more of? Fat women in Victorian-era stories. Some people have this idea that every woman back then was thin "because corsets", but there are plenty of period photos with large women in Victorian dress.

yes yes YES

gorgeous lady!

Ivan Markov painting circa 1870. this girl is lovely, if not trying very hard with her maenad costume

this woman is probably some sort of performer, judging by her many tattoos, but there are plenty of photos floating around of thin Victorian performers, so here’s some representation of a less-than-proper larger lady

more on the average-sized side, but she has a taxidermied cat on her head and I feel that deserves to be seen by as many people as possible because I’m so confused

my beloved French fashion dolls, while their waists are fairly slender, almost always have little molded double chins that suggest a more ample size contained by a corset

actually all of the women in the photos above are wearing corsets. so why don’t larger corsets and garments survive in the same numbers as their smaller counterparts? for the same reason that mediums and larges are harder to find than smalls when shopping- more people wore those sizes, so they got snapped up quickly and worn until they gave out. larger clothes were more expensive then as now, so they would have been kept until they pretty much fell apart

you’re absolutely right, anon. as today, Victorian women came in all shapes and sizes

The girl with the cat on her head is also wearing a choker that says “PUSSY,” which is incredible, honestly, what an icon

On World AIDS Day, reflect on this Hanukkah lamp titled In Search of Miracles, on view now. In his use of test tubes for oil containers, the artist Salo Rawet associates the ancient miracle of Hanukkah with the search for a cure for AIDS, cancer, and other plagues of our time. The artist proposes here an alternative version of lighting the Hanukkah lamp, extending beyond the traditional eight days of the holiday to symbolize continuous cycles of the sun and moon. In this new interpretation, the lamp becomes and embodiment of hope and an expression of “human attempts to intervene and support the divine process of exuding miracles in our daily life.”
