sdfds same tho. I mean, only children go to school at a fairly young age and interact with other tiny little humans, so there's some social behavior for us.

However, I have probably never learned to share.  Everything was always all mine. Even my one set of grandparents. I was their only grandchild.  I'm automatically the favorite and get all the attention.

Wow, that hat company just went and made a modern bergère hat? And that huuuge floppy hat is the best thing I've seen all day :D

YES!

I’m pretty sure everyone knows about Jacquemus’ accessories because of all their ridiculous “so-small-that-they-are-useless” bags:

I think we all have better ways to spend $552 USD. And being honest, I think they are not even pretty.

Usually their rtw collections are quite cute (usually rather simple with a pretty modern styling, but I do not talk about their menswear because I’ve seen all that stuff before and I just don’t love what they are doing with that, and being honest, it’s rather boring), I call them the kings of the slip dress and each season they have at least a couple slip dresses that are really pretty.

I do not know who their hat supplier is but they always have nice hats and that bergere is what the Rococo dreams are made of.

I looooooooooove when contemporary fashion makes some nods to the 18th century, don’t you all?

This is super random but because of your tags I read up on Jeremy Bentham and that head is next to your coffee machine?? that's wild!

Yes he is! Well, he was, not anymore. They put him away again last year. I miss him to be honest, that head and I were frequently alone in the library at midnight

oh my gosh, I had no idea you had such an awesome redbubble store! I still have no paypal but this is making me want to get one :O

If you’re looking to shop, you don’t need an account and can make a purchase with paypal or credit card!

If you want to set up a store, you can get paid via paypal or direct bank deposit.

Also- here’s a link to my store!

Goodbye, then, I´ll miss you!

Goodbye <3

makeeverydayahappyday replied to your post “me every time the thor: ragnarok people describe the movie as “funny”...”

yeah I mean marvel is not exactly dark and depressing to begin with :'D I really loved the intense mythology stuff from 1&2 so i hope this won't be too psychedelic

me too! i mean, what always drew me to the thor films were their ties to the mythology and how different they felt from other marvel movies. they were more...majestic, i suppose. i’m not getting that same feeling from ragnarok and i’m really not liking the 80s viking look that’s going on. i can get past the new design if the plot is good, but every time one of the actors talks about the movie all they say is how funny it is. like fine i want there to be comedy in it but i don’t want it to be a comedy. i want drama and plot and emotion. i’m not going to this movie just to laugh.

makeeverydayahappyday replied to your photo “During the excavations of the new Noord/Zuidlijn underground line in...”

I live pretty close to Amsterdam, so I've seen some of the stuff on display in a subway station! They also made huge mosaics on the walls of the station depicting some of the findings, it's really cool :D

That’s so awesome! I feel envious!

and some other costumers do upload videos about the construction of their clothes, so it's not that weird that people would ask you if you can teach them. You're completely free not to do it, but people ask it because they're curious and want to hone their skills, not because they don't value your work and want to copy you! They're probably not gonna end up with your result anyway, lol. Oh well, enough complaining for today, there are enough nice bloggers left :D

And of course, if (and this is a big IF) she’s a professional, there is always the option of charging for guidance or teaching. You all may or may not know, but I work in fashion, like for a long time I’ve been here and been through many places in the industry, and I cannot stand the attitude of “secrecy” or superiority. I mean, whatever she technically does, is available in other places, she’s not making up a new way of doing things, she simply does not wanna share her knowledge, even if it is not vast. I mean, tailors share their process but if you ask more, they might tell you that they can help or make a garment for you (I mean, it’s their business), and that’s perfectly ok.

But truth is I am totally against the secrecy or the desire to not share knowledge, especially with a small community that costumers make. I mean, that’s why I have this blog, I might not be a scholar, but if someone wants to know something and I can help them, I will, and people don’t have to be experts to be interested in something. If I can make an average person interested in the 8th century fashion, I will and that will make me happy. If I had a blog just to show how good I can sew straight lines, then what is the real point? I cannot imagine if Timothy Long (fashion curator at the Museum of London), would have an awful attitude of secrecy about his job and the objects he manages, but he’s being an educator and I have nothing but the uttermost respect for that kind of account. So I rather follow him than her.

Damn, my rant was long long LONG.
