Etheldreda Laing was around 38 years old when she first took pictures of her daughters using Autochrome, an early colour process. She would later become known for her work with color photography, and particularly for the series of pictures of her daughters.

Older daughter Janet was around 12 years old and Iris was roughly seven when Etheldreda first started photographing them.

These photos were taken in the garden of their Oxford home, in 1908.

Male fantasies, male fantasies, is everything run by male fantasies? Up on a pedestal or down on your knees, it’s all a male fantasy: that you’re strong enough to take what they dish out, or else too weak to do anything about it. Even pretending you aren’t catering to male fantasies is a male fantasy: pretending you’re unseen, pretending you have a life of your own, that you can wash your feet and comb your hair unconscious of the ever-present watcher peering through the keyhole, peering through the keyhole in your own head, if nowhere else. You are a woman with a man inside watching a woman. You are your own voyeur.

A parlour game suggestion from a nineteeth-century book of “indoor amusements”. Sounds fun to me.

Margaret Cho creates #whitewashedOUT to fight Hollywood whitewashing

Coined by Asian-American actress and comedian Margaret Cho, #whitewashedOUT is a rallying cry against the erasure of Asian actors and roles which also coincides with Asian-Pacific-American Heritage Month. One response tweet shows exactly how white people should respond to this fight.

I’m all for makeup and people doing makeup however they choose and makeup as an art form, but i’m also really concerned for the young girls in middle school and stuff with the new found pressure of makeup culture that wasn’t there five years ago. If you’re 12 or 13 and you’re reading this please please know you don’t have to contour to be beautiful, you don’t have to have amazing gradient eyebrows to be beautiful, you don’t have to be an Instagram model to be beautiful.

Makeup can be fun but you don’t have to look like all the rich girls on instagram with tons of money for mac and urban decay to be pretty or feel good about yourself. Just being you, and exploring your interests and learning new things as a young person is what makes you beautiful!! Never forget it!
