It’s so sad, on so many levels. I’m not religious at all now, but I found comfort from some very bad things in religion when I was young because I was taught that I was loved and accepted and wanted in church. I want to hug that kid and I think the mom might need a hug too, or a solid shaking, I can’t decide.

I was raised catholic too. I was even an altar boy. Catholicism has a strong history of social justice. IDK what this crazy woman is saying or why she's saying it but if she thinks that's how Jesus feels,thinks, & acts she's a BAD catholic. She's taken the worst parts of Catholicism & put them on paper for her young…

I’d say it’s abuse abuse with a spiritual chaser.

Our children were created for friendship with Christ. Before anything else, this is their chief purpose in life: to be Christ’s friend.

Letter From Jesus: tl;dr.

I am pregnant right now looking down at my outfit in dismay. What a goddess.

Stories like this are the perfect antidote to stories about cat killing vets or that AWFUL “Letter from Jesus” story I read.

As i sit here 9 months pregnant with swollen cankles, swollen fingers, swollen face. Yes, Yes she looks cooler than me.

So stupid! And they completely gave no context for the social or economic climate that led to punk, especially in the UK, and did their best to ignore the inherent irony of status and class conscious high fashion stealing from punk’s DIY culture. Absolutely no substance. And then they sold $600 ripped tshirts in the…

I’m just overly concerned with all the people who might walk away thinking a white woman in the 70s invented the caftan or the turban as a fashion item, let alone for practical usage. Fashion exhibitions can be TERRIBLE, but I love them.

Holy Orientalism. Look at that photo. It’s Delacroix’s Women of Algiers only 130 years later.

I am down with this type of caftan lifestyle. All I need is the grand dame part, and I am there.

.. and something interesting, perhaps in a glass, to calm the nerves and inspire creative ideas ...

Jezebel needs more writers who can appreciate history that predates the interwebs. Thank you.

Boho Chic takes a lot from the styles of Paul Poiret and The Ballet Russe in the early 20th century, who in turn take from the romanticization of the exoticism of the Ottoman Empire and orientalist harem fantasies. I love fashion, but I love well-curated histories even more. I hope the book and museum are thorough.…

I am all over the caftan. Not the pastel floral sheer festival and flower crown caftan. The drunken grand dame lounging amidst her art collection with 5 lbs of jewelry, a turban, full makeup, and a loud-ass print caftan.
