It’s true!

Bass Reeves was so dedicated to the law, he even arrested his own son Bennie for the murder of his wife. Bennie was sentenced to life in prison. With over 3000 arrests, 14 kills, went his entire 32 year career in law enforcement without being shot once.
He was assigned to bring in the notorious female outlaw Belle Starr. Once she got wind who was after her she turned herself into the federal court.
Reeves was one of a few Marshalls who would venture into Indian territory *oklahoma*. After the age of 67 he retired in 1907. He enjoyed his short lived retirement as a police officer in Muskogee Oklahoma, his assigned beat had 0 crime reported until he died at the age of 71 of Bright’s disease.
He was one of the true gun slingers of the west.

Day three of all-day corset wearing…am I waist training? Only by default. I am regularly asked asked while at @darkgardencorsetry if I’m wearing a corset and I nearly always have to say no. Lately I’ve asked myself why that is. Why am I not wearing a corset daily? I know I like how they look and feel, what’s my problem? I realized that I felt like the time it adds my morning routine was too much for daily wear and it’s simply not that bad - less than 5 additional minutes now that I have my routine worked out i.e. *Shoes Before Corset*, which means tights before corset as well, now that it’s finally winter in San Francisco. What are the benefits? Improved self esteem, better posture, positive body awareness, and a slightly diminished appetite (very handy for a woman who’s 5'3" with the appetite of a football player) A fascinating by-product of better posture is instantaneous confidence, something nearly all of us need a little help with. Will I keep wearing a corset daily? Who can say, but I can’t think of a good reason not to! #waisttraining #corset #darkgardencorsetry #corsetry #littleinthemiddle #tightlacing #corsetstyle (à Dark Garden Unique Corsetry)
Awesome! I've recently gotten back in the habit myself, and my back is so much happier!

This lovely bespoke buff-mini-floral brocade corset was picked up today. A perfect piece for wearing under snazzy vintage dresses with a little extra point to the bustline. #corsets #stealthing #custommade #sfmade #famousauthoresse (à Dark Garden Unique Corsetry)
Hey tumblr, let’s talk about practice and improvement!
I’ve never really posted my really old cosplays because I started back in the day when I used a disposable camera at cons. I don’t really have pictures of me in my old costumes. But! I recently obtained some old bins from my dad’s basement, and lo and behold: old costumes!
I picked one that is fairly comparable in general style to my most recently photographed project. On top, you can see an ancient relic of about 9 years ago. This was before I had a sewing machine, so the entire thing is hand sewn. (Protip: handsewing literally everything makes you an incredibly fast handsewer. I’m one of the speediest stitchers I know to this day.) Anyways, it’s a shapeless sack with safety pinned ribbons for straps, made of terrible cheap satin, and by my current standards is an absolute trainwreck. But I was so proud of it back then! I had fun wearing it and felt cute. At that point, I had no idea that this would eventually be my career. I was just doing it for fun! And that was valid.
But I decided that I liked sewing so much that I was going to keep at it. I got a Singer Simple for christmas one year (despite my protestations: sewing machines scared me and I looooove handsewing), learned to use it, and continued sewing in full force. I decided to go to school for costuming, kept cosplaying, and CONSTANTLY working.
There are rarely days that I do not sew. It’s both my job and my hobby. This is almost a decade of constant work and improvement. I am not inherently talented. I did start out with good fine motor skills (shout out to my mom for encouraging my clay addiction when I was little) and a good grasp of three dimensional problem solving, but those skills are only any use because I practiced them and built upon whatever “talent” I already had.
Improvement is possible! Take this message to heart, baby cosplayers and costumers! <3
Awesome! I really need to do one of these comparison posts!
