A couple of days ago i finally finished the Meiji Komorebi Dress that was on my WIPs for YEARS! after finished that i decided to make a cute Parasol and a Hand Fan to go with the cute outfit. And of course, a pose box (My very first Pose Box YAY!) that also go with the Dress and the accesories hehehe.

Both Parasols and Hand Fans are no compatible with hats sorry. I run out of UVmap Space and i really wanted to look good so. Hats were sacrificed. Also, i made sure that the parasol and fans were compatible with other creators pose boxs. If they used an accesory with the Stigmata weights they will be fiiine.

A couple of tiny 1880's era remnant terrace houses/hovels that were somehow missed during the extensive slum clearances of the late 1940's-early 1950's. Now 'studio apartments'. Small public park at rear is where the rest of them once were. Glebe.

I don't remember any of my German relatives using the word "OK" freely in the 1980's, preferring to say: "Gut", "Klar" or "In Ordnung", not because they didn't know the term but because it wasn't proper German. The same way we were discouraged to learn "nix" for nothing, and told to use "nichts", my mother even discouraged me to use "mal" or "total" as filler words. (This has since changed dramatically, and there's nothing wrong with using any of these words in today's German).

Given that, I do not think a German immigrant from 1883, who is the sole English speaker of a group of pioneers, would reassure his countrymen by repeating "Alles OK" several times. Even if they had learnt the phrase, I think it's unlikely they'd all adopt it at such short notice.

Kudos for casting real Germans in 1883, but this character of "Josef" speaks like a millenial. He even addresses the leader of the group, who is decades older than him, with the informal "du" instead of the formal "Sie". I wouldn't dare do that today. Now maybe when they'd been speaking dialect, which is known for being more intimate, but this is high German.

The actor's German must have been adlibbed and apparently, it's fine to say "Du" to senior gentlemen you don't know these days? Anyway, I'm sticking with Sie, and in 1883, they would have too.

Alternatively, maybe a group of LARP'ers from the 2020's found a wormhole and are being: "Shit, act natural!!!"

Madam Midas of Ballarat

Alice Ann Cornwell (1 January 1852 – 7 January 1932) was a British goldmining industrialist and newspaper proprietor.

She made her fortune from gold and floated her company on the London Stock Exchange. She was a confident business person investing in several companies including owning the Sunday Times.Miss Cornwell was born in West Ham, East London in 1852 to Jemima and George Cornwell. She and her family emigrated to New Zealand when she was nine. Her father was an engineer with mining experience.After a period in NZ from the age of nine, a marriage and separation, she followed her family back to England then onto to the gold fields of Australia

Her fortune was made when in Australia. Her father was a successful engineer who was then prospecting but he was not making a profit.Miss Cornwell studied her father’s prospecting leases and convinced others that a major find lay beneath his land. Shafts were created where she had indicated and gold was reputedly found within 30 centimetres of where she had said it would be.

In 1886 she returned to London as a reputed millionaire, although this may have been an exaggeration.

Despite not being able to enter London's club's because of her gender she floated the "Midas Mine" on the London Stock Exchange. London ‘clubs’ were the most common place to flog your investments.

Independently she also created the British and Australian Mining Trust and Investment Company. The purpose of this company was to allow people to invest money directly in Australian mines.

Cornwell bought the Sunday Times in 1887 from Colonel George FitzGeorge, an illegitimate member of the Royal Family. Her purpose was to promote her new company and it was a gift to her lover Frederick Stannard (‘Phil’) Robinson.“Good morning my darling, I’ve just bought you a newspaper”“That’s very good of you, Just plop it on the table”“No darling, I’ve bought you a Newspaper!”

In 1888 her friend Fergus Hume wrote a novel, "Madame Midas" about a "Mrs Villiers" which was obviously based on Cornwell.

Cornwell sold the "Sunday Times" in 1893 to Frederick Beer, who already owned Observer. Beer appointed his wife, Rachel Sassoon Beer, as editor. Rachel was the aunt of the war poet and Military Cross winner, Siegfried Sassoon.

Cornwell's estranged first husband in NZ died in 1893 and she married her lover, Phil Robinson in 1894.Cornwell died in 1932 in Hove. UK
