Re: Why Brock Lesnar is a problematic human. He is so tough and scary and no one, male or female, can actually confront him about his bad behaviour.

He’s basically Thor without the moral code.

Jim Cornette had his stories about how bad and cruel to women Brock was in his youth.

Morning Dress

A round dress of thick jaconot muslin: the bottom of the skirt is richly worked in points; they are surmounted by a broad easing, which is drawn by blue ribbon; several rows of cord are placed above this easing. Chemisette body; the waist is longer than usual: the collar is of a new description; it is composed of muslin laid on full over ribbon, and edged all round with rich work. Long sleeve, tastefully ornamented at the wrist, to correspond.

The apron worn with this dress is composed of the same material; it is rather more than a three-quarter length, and is trimmed round with rich work. A brace is attached to the back part of this apron, which forms at once an epaulette and a low back to the dress: it is advantageous to the shape, and has a very tasteful effect; it is composed entirely of rich work. Head-dress, a cornette, or rather we should say a half cornette, composed of white lace: it is of a moderate height, and has very small ears, which do not meet under the chin, where it is tied with blue ribbon; it is ornamented only with a simple bow of ribbon to correspond, which is placed on one side of the caul. Blue kid shoes.

Carriage Dress (left) Bombazeen high dress: the body, which is made quite plain, fastens behind. There is no collar, but it is full trimmed round the throat with black crape. Plain long sleeve, finished at the wrist by a puckering of crape, intermixed with rich black silk trimming. The skirt, which is of a moderate width, is trimmed round the bottom with a double row of black crape, disposed in a light and novel manner. This is surmounted by a row of Spanish puffs, which are let in very full; they are of a round shape, and the middle of each is formed of a piece of black satin disposed in full plaits. Over this is a rouleau of intermingled black crape and rich black silk trimming, and above the whole is placed a row of Spanish puffs, composed wholly of black crape, and something smaller than those beneath.

With this dress is worn the Russian wrapping-cloak, composed of tufted mole-skin cloth, and lined with black sarsnet. The form of this cloak, as our readers will perceive by our print, is novel and striking. A pelerine of enormous size, and a large full hood, render this one of the most comfortable envelopes we have seen for a considerable time.

Parisian bonnet, composed of a new material; the crown is of a moderate height, the brim is large, and the edge finished by a full band of crape, and crape roses set on at small distances: it is ornamented with a wreath of black flowers.

Morning cornette composed of thin long lawn, the borders edged with black. Black shamoy leather sandals and gloves. Ridicule, composed of black velvet, ornamented at the corners with white tassels, and a rich white silk trimming round the top.

We are indebted to the tast and invention of Miss McDonald of No. 84, Wells-street, for both our dresses this month.

Carriage Dress (right) A black bombasine half-dress gown, made a three-quarter height: the waist is rather long; the back has a little fulness at the bottom, but is plain at the top; it laces behind: the front is square, is cut bias, and tight to the bust, which is ornamented with a narrow black crape trimming. Long sleeve, rather straight, finished by a puckered cuff of black crape: full epaulette, composed of three falls of crape, disposed in the form of a shell. The skirt is very wide at the bottom, but so much gored as to render it rather narrow towards the top; what fulness there is, is thrown principally into the middle of the back: the bottom of the skirt is finished by a single deep flounce of bombasine, headed by a rouleau of black crape; three or four narrow pipings of crape form a zig-zag at the edge of the flounce. A white crape fichu, with a full puckered collar, tied with black love ribbon, shades the bust. A loose wrapping-coat is worn over this dress, which is composed of very fine black cloth. Head-dress, a bonnet composed of black crape over black sarsnet: it is of moderate size: the crown is ornamented with twisted rouleaus of black crape, place crosswise; the brim is lined with double white crape; a black feather ornament is place in front, and a full bow of black crape ties it under the chin. Black shamoy-leather half-boots and gloves.

We are indebted to Miss Pierpoint, No. 9, Henrietta-street, Covent-Garden, inventer of the corset à la Greeque, for both these dresses.

I think a lot of nun's habit styles are really beautiful and I wish I could wear one just like, casually, because I genuinely do like the way they look, but I think if I had to wear a pre-1964 daughters of charity cornette habit I'd kill myself. thou shalt not be vain or whatever but those things are just damn silly. props to the sisters that put up with that shit I couldn't have done it
