Love Friday Night Zillow. I miss #FridayNightFrills by Catherine Curzon on Twitter (now, @madamegilflurt.bsky.social). The content came from the UK, so started Fri afternoon. Used so many of her posts in my teaching. Glad she keeps doing #FrockingFabulous here. A fave from the past. #skystorians

Pairs of red, black, and while sandals in a Paris shop window.

Sometimes I really miss some of the conversations on Old Twitter, serious & silly. Things like #FrenchHistorianShoes, #FridayNightFrills, the #histgym folks & the #amwriting & #team500 (words written) community that formed. Here are some French shoes, bc w know more awfulness is coming tonight.

As you know, I share your cape love (hoping #FridayNightFrills makes its way over here). Not quite capes but have you seen these swooshy robes? bsky.app/profile/barr...

Het is vandaag St. Cecilia’s Day, leerde ik net! En wat ik altijd heel feestelijk vond - lang niet meer geluisterd - was Ode for St Cecilia’s Day van Handel! #fridaynightfrills

Prachtige grote 18e eeuwse nachtblauwe hoepeljurk met goudborduursel. De suggestie wordt gewekt dat de jurk zakken heeft, doordat de mouwen in de jurk lijken te steken.

18th Century silver embroidered blue damask court mantua,1730-40. Probably worn by Lady Rachel Morgan (of Tredegar House) for presentation at court.
- gevonden in mijn herinneringen op Facebook. Deed me denken aan inkt met glitters. En heeft de jurk nou zakken?
