Iliala, from pili pala (butterfly). Pronounced EEL-ee-AL-ah (the 'ee' is a quick sound). Similar to the Korean Butterfle, the Mandarin Chinese Bādàdié, and the Cantonese Chinese Bādaaihdihp, all meaning butterfly.

a year ago today we had our work's christmas do (yeah), and after i finished my champagne i was just kind of twirling the glass around absentmindedly. my coworker was like "you're gonna smash it" to which i replied "um no it won't fall and even if it did i would simply catch it with my catlike reflexes" and proceeded it to twirl it around harder and more wildly out of spite

...i then smashed it 😔

Round 5 - 2024 (The Garden of Time / Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion) - Match 6 of 6

Natasha Poonawalla (Maison Margiela), left

vs. Alia Bhatt (Sabyasachi Mukherjee), right

“Keeping with this year’s theme inspired by – and named after – the short story penned by JG Ballard The Garden of Time, the actor’s ethereal look featured a 23-foot-long train detailed with florals delicately hand-embroidered using silk floss, glass beading and semi-precious gemstones. ... “The sari’s design, with its translucent, glass-like appearance is not just a nod to the ethereal quality of the garden in Ballard’s story but also a tribute to the exquisite, enduring craft of sari-making,” explained the actor ahead of her red carpet appearance. Packed with whimsy using ruffles, tassels, and a smattering of sequins and gemstones all over the flowing silhouette, Bhatt’s concept took visual cues from the story, specifically, the fantastical life led by Count Axel and his wife. The sari and the amalgamation of jewellery into the bodice fulfil the glamour quotient but also play into the theme of a mythical creature, a forest nymph wandering into the wilderness.” (x)

why does it take SO much energy to keep your house only sort of clean

[fladurblegon]

“What if poor people abuse the system?”

The system intrinsically abuses poor people.

Hope this helps.

[breninarthur]

"What if poor people abuse the system?"

Rich people abuse the system far more and out of pure greed, not necessity or desperation so idrc about that

Round 4 - 2024 (The Garden of Time / Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion) - Match 4 of 12

Zendaya (Maison Margiela), left

“The deep blue-and-green peacock-esque gown was a theatrical nod to the red carpet theme “The Garden of Time,” festooned with metallic birds, berries and vines and topped with a towering feather headpiece tucked into a hand-painted forest-green beret by milliner Stephen Jones.” (x)

vs. Lewis Hamilton (Burberry), right

“Lewis’s embroidered coat reflects the language of flowers in Black history, and is embroidered with periwinkles (for endurance), yucca (for eternity and protecting restless spirits), daffodils (known as ‘pass-along’ flowers for their hardiness) and cedar branches (for everlasting life). It is inspired by the story of John Ystumllyn, one of Britain’s first Black gardeners, and features a quote taken from ‘The Gardener’ poem by Alex Wharton.” (x)

Round 4 - 2024 (The Garden of Time / Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion) - Match 11 of 12

Anok Yai (Swarovski), left

“Giovanna Engelbert was joined by four of the house’s muses, each garnished in hundreds of thousands of crystals in colours that reflected the house’s signature palette of green, pink, yellow, blue and white. In a release, Engelbert said: “My vision was for our muses to embody elements of nature found in the enchanted crystalline garden and for their gowns to merge with our jewellery - they metamorphose, becoming one.” “In three striking shades of blue, the ombre look seems to embody the water that allows a luscious garden to bloom—with crystals sprinkled along her chest, resembling individual droplets.” (x) (x)

vs. Amelia Gray (Undercover), right

“For the outfit she opted for a mix of both the theme, Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion, and the dress code. The look was by the brand Undercover, and it featured live plants inside the skirt. “The dress is the theme, I'm literally wearing a garden in a dress and then I'm doing my own take on Belle. The dress is a sort of modern day replica of Belle," she says.” (x)
