And just like that, January is done. We survived!

Fashion can get a bit much at times

This 1760s mantua might be fun to try...

... though I'm worried people would use it as a couch.

Pics from the V&A, thanks to fripperiesandfobs

Feeling more functional. Somewhat.

Refreshing

Jeremy Corbyn remains good on most things (though not the one currently rolling our country downhill) but still nice to see him come down on the side of trans candidates on ballots for their gender.

I got there in the end...

Eight Elliquiy post replies looks daunting as a cold ramps up. Yes, eight.

2018 getting into the swing of things

Well, it's a month since Christmas, and I for one am... down with a cold for the first time this year yay!

Meanwhile, in the Mirror Universe, the Empress is fabulous.

In A Parallel Universe

Artist Eli Rezkallah has gotten some deserved applause for reversing the genders in some astonishingly sexist 50s and 60s adverts.

Red carpet options

Keira Knightley at Sundance

Heroes make a difference

The PGA has set out new guidelines for avoiding sexual harassment in film sets, and Wonder Woman 2 is to be the pilot film to use them.

or some year like that

Won't Back Down

Another year, another Women's March.

Time for a plot twist! (In an RP I'm doing)

Virginia Gardner again

Altered Carbon

Coming soon to Netflix, the post-cyberpunk SF series about a future where consciousness can be switched through bodies as easily as clothes. It mostly addresses immortality and the distancing that can have from normal life, but the protagonist is given a new look that's a different race from birth, and of course it addresses gender... though apparently not the way the book did, which I support.

"Your body is not who you are."

Weekend weather...

Weekend weather. Wet, windy.

Waaaa

Hawaii's alert

So, that was terrifying.

Senator Chelsea Manning?

It has a certain ring to it.

Is this too much?

I want to try it and find out...

Thanks to Jennifer for the pic!

A Black Widow movie

And it only took Wonder Woman being a huge hit, and I Can't Believe It's Not Black Widow being made with Jennifer Lawrence...

In the view with the vampire

Bryan Fuller (Pushing Daisies, Hannibal) is working on the TV pilot for Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles.

The Golden Globes

Many dresses to choose from, mostly in black. Natalie Portman's Renaissance-y velvet gown wins the "I want it" vote from me.

Back to an ongoing chat RP...

... and it took me twenty minutes out of character to choose a dress.

I think it was worth the wait. If only I could try it on properly ;)

A bride outside...

Now I just need everything else

Ninja Attack!

Wow, even I think that's too impractical.

We live in the future... just gotta wait for TG pills!

A genetic engineering cure for blindness, a snip at just under a million dollars.

How much for a cure for maleness?

Virginia Gardner retro bonus round

Retro 50s and looking in a mirror... just the way I'd like me!

And for an added bonus... retro 80s prom dress!

Virginia Gardner

Another Marvel-related teen hero show brings us Virginia "Ginny" Gardner as Karolina.

What is she hiding?

Ah!

Happy New Year!

I hope it's a good one.

And yes, I expect that I'll be at home, and all dolled up for the first time this year, before sunrise.
