While wearing my white-and-baby-pink-striped-two-dollar-skirt my grandma asked if I sewed the stripes horizontal on purpose. Of course I did. This post is to highlight one of the small ways in which I say fuck you, gingerly and regularly, to fashion rules and standards for the bubble bodice. Short and fat population, please wear big prints and some of them horizontal. Be a monument to acceptance, style and expression without saying a word.

Someone tell Brenda to get a Tumblr? Please and thank you.
(Pictured: Me on a front porch petting Lemmy the black and white French Bulldog. I’m wearing a dark navy sheath dress with small white polkadots. It has a white Peter Pan collar, with pleating and black buttons down the front. I’m also wearing a big navy and white bordered bow in my dark, short bobbed hair, and prescription glasses with black and white cat-eye frames. Lemmy is wearing a black collar and leash.)
Matchy-matchy.

New Cloche Hat / Fun With Filters
I’ve been looking for a high quality wool felt 20s Cloche hat to go with my new bob haircut. I found this beauty for 60% off at my local shee-shee hat shop (ADS Hats). It was a great deal, and it’ll hold me ‘till I can afford something like this.
(Pictured: Me smiling in a black wool felted cloche hat with velvet band. I’m also wearing a striped shirt over a polka dot dress, with a rhinestone bow shaped brooch in the center of the neckline. The photo is processed with a light sepia and grain to look oldfashioned.)
(Pictured: Profile view of me in the hat, displaying the beaded buckle on the velvet band.)

Sadie Tanner Mossell Alexander (1898 – 1989) achieved a lot of firsts in her life.
She was the first African American woman to receive a Ph.D. in the United States, the first woman to receive a law degree from the University of Pennsylvania Law School, the first African American woman to be admitted to the Pennsylvania Bar, and was the first national president of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority.
Fierce woman in a frilly dress.

An Affair of Honor (1901, Lubin Studios)
In the film, a woman is dining with her boyfriend when another woman approaches and begins flirting with the man. The outraged girlfriend challenges the interloper to a duel and the two women fight in front of entertained onlookers.
This theme proved quite popular and the film was remade several times - 1897, 1906, and in the 1990s during every episode of The Jerry Springer Show (though sadly, minus the swords).
