The back of a fitted silk jacket the fabric in ombré stripes in shades of yellow, brown and pale blue. It has long sleeves and layered ruffled peplum at the bottom of the waist

There is so much to admire in this neat silk #1780s jacket. The ombré stripes run this way and that, making their own decoration and the ruffled peplum sits up at the waist emphasising the piecing of the centre back #madparisfr #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Side view of a pale coloured robe à la polonaise with a fitted bodice and a long skirt that is ruched at the back. It is shadowy and so slightly mysterious

I loved the backdrop used by #madparis for a series of photography. The grey removes distractions and the garment is the main attraction. These is something almost pensive about this #1780s gown, or am I just being an old romantic? #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

The back view of two mannequins seemingly in conversation, both wearing long yellow ensembles, one in a robe polonaise with ruched skirt and the other in a two piece jacket and skirt. Both wear flat brimmed straw hats

What are these two golden gals up to I wonder? There is something conspiratorial about them. Are they off to cause havoc amongst the gentlemen of their acquaintance or perhaps escaping a dull great aunt & her yappy dog. Yellow ensembles of the #1780s @metmuseum.org #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Back of a purple striped 1780s gown showing detail of the fitted bodice, long sleeves and voluminous skirt emerging from the pointed waist

A puff of purple stripes emanate from the more controlled bodice of this #1780s gown. It is both exuberant and disciplined at the same time, the uniformity of the stripes and structured fit giving way to ballooning skirts #lacma #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

A Freedom Fighter.

A Liberty Defender

Spot the difference?

Police break picket lines,
While being protected by a union.

Police cover a revolutionary,
So we don't liberate him.

Police fail to save another school,
Create a special CEO protective task force.

The body keeps score.

This is Reality.

The planet is withering,
Along with our souls.

A Man rose up,
To cast down another.

Who's to blame,
Who's to gain?
