That sounds AWESOME. I would love to hear more about their decorations, etc.!

Regardless of whether or not that jar holds his penis, Rasputin will probably always win the “craziest eyes” award.

Oh, that’s really interesting to hear—no one I know has read it! I am enjoying it... I’d say I’m about 1/2-3/4 of the way through at the moment. It definitely brings you into the period (I think it’s set in the late 60s or early 70s), but the characters are interesting, and while there’s sort of a mystery it’s really…

Ugh, this. I once had a man follow my friend and I off a city bus (it was late at night, we were on our way home from a dance performance) to scream at us about being giggly. It was threatening and totally unnecessary.

This does not have enough stars. All the high fives!!

Hooray! The Secret History is one of my favorite books, I need to re-read it soon :)

This is so very, very true. I also love #DoingTheSherman!

I was actually going to mention this exact thing. I was so happy that the school backed the teacher and the book! It’s so sad that this many years later this is still happening.

I don’t know, (having seen the movie), I think a woman who is stubborn enough to not take off her heels in this particular situation is the type of women to survive against all odds just to spite everyone else.

Goodness, now I’m curious! Mostly because I’m really out of it and didn’t realize any of those women knew each other before this o.O

I don’t regularly wear makeup to work. If I want to dress up for an evening out or an event of some kind I will wear some (because I actually like it!), but regularly? Nope, I’m too lazy for that shit.

This thread is really making me think, I’m so glad this conversation is happening. Honestly, I was in denial for a long time about growing boobs (I went from zero to DDs pretty rapidly at 11-12), and the moment that springs to mind was when my mom got a family friend (who was a classmate) to talk to me about how I…

This is so cool, thanks for sharing!! I can basically stay on a horse, but that's about it, and I have always been fascinated by side saddle riding. It's really neat to see that it's still around, and there are badass ladies doing it!

AAAAAHHHHH! I'm a Cambridge local and just re-watched this while baking a pie for Pi Day. I cannot WAIT for this!!

NICE! I'm a fan of Dress Stuart, which seemed like a great idea for a ballgown until the first time I spilled something on it.

hahaha this is so on point!

Wow, thank you! I tried not to touch on the romantic era idea of clan tartans too much because that's a whooooooole 'nother topic—thanks, Walter Scott.

The struggle is real.

Yay! I'm buying my first car this summer...I might need to look into this :)

If a Bread Riot is happening, I will happily loan you a set of ladies' garments! I can also bring several other civilian reenactor ladies from MA. Hurrah!
