WHY SO LITTLE CUNT

Q

Will you be doing any coverage of the Kentucky Derby and their array of hats this weekend?

A

no I’m too busy stress vomiting over the Met Gala

oh god. the Met Gala is Monday

the theme is “The Garden of Time” which sounds like they’re trying to bring back the “time” theme from 2020 that got cancelled.

oh god. oh fuck. oh jesus.

*vomits with anxiety*

this year is going to suck, too, because nobody respect fashion history. It will be a repeat of the gilded era theme that NOBODY respected.

HEEEEY who want to do a huuuge fucking favor for me?!

I need feedback on an hour-long drama pilot script that I’m writing with the intention of submitting to contests. Anyone want to help me out? I’m looking for general feedback & any ideas on how to make it longer. ALSO don’t make any comments until you read to the very end. Thanks!

Just taking a moment to remind everyone that JK Rowling is a Holocaust denier.

The looting & burning of the library of Die Institut für Sexualwissenschaft is an incredibly well-documented event that marks one of the first major events of Nazi persecution of the LGBT community.

Guess what, Jo. This definitely happened.

She has gone further to perpetuate lies about Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld that engage with the anti-semitic conspiracy theory that Jews are encouraging LGBT identities to end the reproduction of the Aryan race and take over the world.

HEY! GOOD NEWS! IF YOU DO HISTORICAL RESEARCH, THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO DO SOMETHING REALLY COOL!

LGBT persecution by Nazis, especially trans persecution, is an area of the Holocaust that remains under-researched and under-documented. Historians are working hard to identify trans and queer victims and to illuminate their life stories. If you are at all interested in this, it’s something you can do, too. Research for all!

Q

It's not always high fashion but have you considered covering the WWE Hall of Fame looks? Lots of the guys go all out too! Much more interesting than most award show looks.

A

LOL I don’t know anything about WWE though. It’s a lot hrder to make snarky comments about someone if you know nothing about them!

When the retouching guy shows up to work hungover (look at her waist area)

While that is probably the worst 19th century photoshop example I’ve seen to date, I’d like to thank retouch guy for providing such a good example to show that even though something’s a photograph doesn’t mean her waist was actually that size because even in the 1800s, people were editing their photos.

my brain always likes to see these ‘un-retouced’ so here’s a rough go at it. I just modified the parts I was sure were edited around her waist in the original, but they also often smoothed out people’s skin, softened jawlines etc. so 100% possible there’s additional editing. (it actually looked like there might be two rounds of waist editing but could just be the scan, so I stuck to the obvious portions)

reblogging again for the addition- thanks!
