hey boy don't kill yourself. green's dictionary of slang is available online and allows you to explore 500 years of english vulgarity. you can search by part of speech, source, time period, etymology, and usage. there's a whole category for gay slang. they even have specific citations listed so you can see the exact context for yourself. boy did you know that in 1927 "to kneel at the altar" was slang for "to sodomize"
18th Century Nuns Attire
I know I promised a small guide and then a long post but fuck it, this is the long (very long!) post about 18th century nuns attire.
A lot of the images I used are from the New Spain, I donāt know why but finding nuns portraits from other places was quite difficult, so there are only a few. Now, letās start with the nun-pallooza:
āIndumentaria de las monjas novohispanasā, siglo XVIII, Museo Nacional del Virreinato.
In a broad way, the religious habit for nuns was formed by:
Coif. The white headpiece made of cotton or linen to cover the cheeks, ears and neck.
Veil. This is the dark piece of cloth that is worn over the coif to cover the head.
āPortrait of Young Nunā,Ā Circle of Maurice Quentin de la Tour.
Tunic. The main piece of the habit, the tunic was made of wool and the colour varies according to the religious order.
Cincture.Ā A belt made of woven wool for the waist.
Scapular.Ā This is a symbolic apron, and itās the long garment that hangs from both front and back. Worn over the tunic, and over or under the belt.
Apron. A common and useful garment worn over the habit to protect it during work activities.
Cape. Worn above the other garments, was of different colour according to the order.
Other garments: the usual undergarments any woman would wear (shift, petticoats, stockings, staysā¦)
Other accessories: rosary, cross, ring.
According to an 18th document from the Regina Coeli Convent in Mexico City, the novices would have to bring with them:
A piece of wool fabric for two habits
CrƩe to use as lining for the habits.
Silk thread to sew them.
Light fabric for handkerchiefs and coifs.
Four shifts (three made of crƩe and one of Brittany fabric).
One sewing box with everything needed for sewing.
Four aprons of wide Brittany fabric.
One Sultepec rebozo in blue and white.
And this is only a part of that list! But it gives a good idea of what a girl soon to be a nun would need, and except for the rebozo, everything is quite normal. I didnāt find the full list, it seems Iād have to go to Regina Coeli to read such a document (insert eye roll here).
Now, letās take a look at the differences in attire between the different orders:
Conceptionist Nuns, from the Order of the Immaculate Conception. Separated in 1511 from the Poor Clares, a contemplative order. They wore a white tunic with white scapular and blue mantle. The also wore two shields with religious images (usually the Holy Trinity and/or the Immaculate Conception): one worn over the chest and a smaller one hanging from the mantle. The shields could be painted by prestigious artists or even be embroidered. The delicate images from the shields were contrasted with the simple cincture cord. The outfit was completed with a white coif, black veil and a rosary.

āPortrait of Sor MarĆa Antonia del CorazĆ³n de JesĆŗsā, 1814, JosĆ© MarĆa VĆ”zquez.
Clarisses, or Poor Clares, from theĀ Order of Saint Clare. Founded in 1212 (the second Franciscan order to be established), a contemplative order. Clarisses wore grey tunic, white coif, black veil, the cincture was a linen cord with four knots (representing their four vows). One of my sources states that they wore blue tunic and mantle in the New Spain, I found paintings documenting both attires, but I donāt know if this was worn in other places.

āPortrait of Sor MarĆa Juana del SeƱor San Rafael y MartĆnezā.
Hieronymite nuns, from theĀ Order of Saint Jerome. Founded in Spain in the 14th century, an enclosed order. They wore white tunic, white coif, black veil, black scapular and black mantle, they also wore a shield. Even though sheās from the late 17th century, Sor Juana InĆ©s de la Cruz is the easiest example to see this orderās habit. I also found a red variation in some profession portraits.

āPortrait of Sor Juana InĆ©s de la Cruzā, ca. 1750, Miguel Cabrera.
āProfession portrait of sor Francisca Josefa de San Felipe Neriā, 1769.
Dominican nuns, from the Dominican Order or the Order of Preachers. Founded in 1215, a contemplative and mendicant order. Their attire is the one people usually think of when they think of nuns: white tunic, coif and scapular, and black veil and mantle.
āIndumentaria de las monjas novohispanasā, detail.
"Retrato de monjaā, 1750, Antonio GonzĆ”lez Ruiz.
āPortrait of a young nunā, 18th century, Circle of Maurice Quentin de la Tour.
Augustinian nuns, from theĀ Order of Saint Augustine. Founded in the 5th century, an enclosed monastic order. They wore black tunics, scapular, mantle and veil with white coif. Found a white variation with black mantle and veil on three portraits from the English Augustinian Convent of Notre-Dame-de-Sion in Paris.

āPortrait of sor MarĆa del SeƱor San JosĆ© Palacios SolĆ³rzano y Berruecosā, 18th century, Anonymous.
āPortrait of Anne, daughter of Sir Francis Throckmortonā, 1729, Nicolas de LargilliĆØre.
Carmelite Nuns, from theĀ Order of the Brothers of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel. Founded in the 12th century, a cloistered order. They wore brown tunic and scapular, black veil, white coif and a white/beige short mantle.
āIndumentaria de las monjas novohispanasā, detail.
CapuchinĀ nuns, orĀ Capuchin Poor Clares,Ā from the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin. Founded in the 16th century, a cloistered and contemplative order. They wore brown habit, scapular and mantle, black veil and white coif. Their tunic has patches on the elbows (a quite striking detail).

āPortrait de sor Martina MarĆa de ArizĆ”valo y VerĆ”zteguiā, 1727, Anonymous.
āPortrait of sor MarĆa Rita Josefa de los Dolores Tinajero y Rivasā, ca. 1806, Anonymous.
Bridgettine nuns, from the Order of the Most Holy Savior, an order of Augustinian nuns. Founded in 1344, an enclosed order. They wore brown tunic and scapular, with a white cincture, white coif, black veil. Over the veil they wore a crown/headpiece made of white ribbons with red circles/discs.

āPortrait of Sor MarĆa del EspĆritu Santoā, 18th century.
Now some funny/weird stuff some nuns wore and are not universal but might be useful information. Or totally useless but interesting information. And some extra images:
The nuns from the Convent of JesĆŗs MarĆa in Mexico City (Hieronymite nuns), were quite fashion forward: one started using jet bracelets, another pleating her coif and scapular, another one wore lots of ringsā¦ This went on and on until a reform was made and them all went back to austerity. The pleated scapular fashion went right into other orders (take a look at the portrait of the nice Conceptionist nun, beneath this text), and fabric pleating fabric is still nowadays a work done by nuns (at least in some places in Mexico).
In the Convent of Saint Rosa (Puebla), theĀ Dominican nuns made a very delicate and refined work of embroidery, and a famous Mexican dish was created there: mole.
In the New Spain thereās a kind of portrait very special: the Crowned Nuns (monjas coronadas). These very ornate portraits were made by the order of the affluent families of the nuns as a celebration of their profession and/or a reminder when they died. The nuns were portrayed wearing a crown of flowers, an image of baby Jesus or a saint, a candle with flowers and other ornaments and jewellery (of course, depending on the affluence of her family).
āSolemn Profession portrait of Sister Maria Antonia Purisima de la ConcepciĆ³nā, 18th Century. - Look at her pleated scapular! And all of her 18th century fashion decoration!
āRetrato de sor Ana MarĆa de San Francisco y Neveā, 18th century, Anonymous. - I love how this portrait shows her without veil and mantle, so this is practically the base of all nun attires.
āPortrait of Mother Lugarda MarĆa de la Luz de Palaciosā, 18th century, Anonymous. - Another one with red scapular and mantle, also aĀ Hieronymite nun.
And finally, I also made a pinboard with some painting for further reference.
Men shouldn't be in charge of their own hair. They can't be trusted with scissors.
They're like girls after a breakup who think cutting her own bangs at 1am are a good idea.

In response to the supersonic mv (which I adored I am a Bojan girlie of three years and this wet rat is everything to me) it makes me remember how much I love the astp mv because all the guys seem to get their own little bits in different locations I miss that
WHAT EVEN
@amalgamatrophy made me this wonderful card for my birthday and had to share this because I cannot stop staring at it
Soooo I ordered the JO Cosmopolitan and paid the bill for it
TBH never been so excited to recieve something as much as this magazine.
Acquired it on a trip to Slovenia (went on a good hours hunt and found it thanks to some kind lady who pointed us in the right direction) and it's so worth it

hello! i am working on a school project right now where we have to create a pitch for a musical. our concept has scenes in several different time periods and i was hoping i could ask for resources or insight since i don't really know much about fashion and i'm not sure where to find information that also takes into account that some people weren't the most focused on the latest fashions? one of our characters is an upper-middle class american housewife in her late 30s. she's introduced in the 1840s (but her story spans until the 1860s). i found a lot of sites about 1840s fashion, but it seems like they mostly talk about the MOST fashionable styles of the period and what people who were very into the latest styles would wear. do you know anywhere i could look that would talk about what more ordinary people/people who were focused on other things but still wanted to be "presentable" might wear? thank you, i hope this makes sense
hi dear anon!
thank you so much for reaching out with this question ā that sounds like a really cool project!
unfortunately, I would describe myself as more of a historical fashion enthusiast than an expert, and I haven't done a ton of digging into it enough to know more details about certain time periods and what people might have been wearing if they weren't keeping up with the latest fashions
however, I do know there's a ton of folks who follow the blog who are very passionate about historical fashion and probably have more and better resources than I can provide! so I'll open this up to anyone who might have thoughts about this or potential resources to drop those in the comments below! :)
(also, so sorry for the lack of cheerful emojis ā I'm on my work computer which makes it much more difficult for me to add them, but imagine some lovely emojis scattered throughout :))
1840s fashion info you say.......(I am perhaps looking for some....)
so I've been kind of drifting away from my interest in joker out recently (as you can probably tell from my basically no original posts of them in months)
but I was watching some compilation video of eurovision 2023 and the like few seconds of their performance it showed made me feel like a mix of sad and nostalgic you could say I guess
Is it weird to say that I miss the carpe diem days, like it seemed like they were enjoying themselves more, they weren't using ai or anything yet and they kind of seemed more true to themselves I guess
It feels weird that I'm nostalgic for a shitty time for me just cause I found a silly little band as a wee 15 year old like almost two years ago now
Yeah
Still grateful we had those times at all you cant put a price on that kind of emotional uplifting
Carpe diem nostalgia still hits hard as ever š

THE BIG RETURN OF BECAUSE OF YOU!!!!!!!
I'm a bit late but I'm here with my report from the Balkan Gigā¢ in Pula!
Oh, what an event it was! I made incredible friends while waiting, and I hope I can meet y'all again, truly. Also, shout out to @anxious-witch, even if our actual meeting was short, I was so happy to finally meet you (and I won't shut up about it)
The only sad note was the organization of the whole event. We made a queue at the entrance, but some other fans who came in the last 30 minutes before the gates opened basically skipped it and stayed at the beginning, like the queue didn't exist at all.
Besides, the merch stands were gone by the end of the gig, I wanted to check BuÄ Kesidi and Joker Out merch, but only Baby Lasagna was left and I was pretty disappointed. And the security shouted at us to go away when we were just asking Luka for some quick pictures. Really rude.
so much going on in just 20 seconds
...just grabbing and holding his waist while he says him he loves him too
