I just finished Flowers yesterday, fucking hell, that is a great series. It's heavy, funny and just soo creative. And the acting is amazing by everyone!

I just love all the characters (not donald, that guy is a bit of an idiot), and the story is just so dark, but so very very interesting

I don't know which series I liked better, they are both so good haha

So yeah, solid series and I really recommend everyone to watch it, but I will also say that is a dark one, mainly dealing with depression and suicide, so be aware of that

Also, don't mind me when I am going to reblog a whole bunch of stuff about this show now haha

Muses appear on late sixth century Attic vases holding single flowers, an action which directs us towards the wider associations of flower picking: the purity of the sacred meadow; the virgin purity of the girls themselves; their exuberant potential for fertility and growth; and deeper themes to do with vitality, mortality and eschatological survival. These associations are of great antiquity, with analogues in Minoan culture. In the classical era, meadows and gardens were dedicated to the Muses, their shrines being often in open air sacred spaces; and they were associated with landscape and natural forces. Helicon itself, the sacred mountain of the Muses, was credited in antiquity with unusual levels of fertility. The iconographic evidence for flowers and Muses goes to reinforce the well established importance of vegetal imagery in archaic and fifth century treatments of the power of poetry to immortalise its subjects. It is an aspect of the Muses' collective identity that was expressed by the Muse-name Thalia, cognate with [thallo] and combining, in Deborah Steiner's admirable formulation, 'natural luxuriance with communal rejoicing'.

2022 sadbanger report: Sophie Cates (who used to be Silver Sphere) nails the melancholy so key to the genre; Deborah's Child's "Red Light" pushes it all the way to alienated; Darla Jade's "Can't Run Forever" taps into the importance of the bassline; Youha's "Flower Rain" goes the transcendent route; Daya's "Her" turns into a different, but equally sad, banger two-thirds of the way through; Terror Jr remain at the pinnacle of the genre.

This Edwardian-style gown was created for the Ascot scene in the original 1956 Broadway production of the Lerner and Loewe musical My Fair Lady. The scene was filled with beautiful gowns, all in black and white, in keeping with the famous “Black Ascot” of 1910, when King Edward VII died shortly before the event, making it inappropriate to wear color. Thus, those who attended wore all black, aside from accents of white from pearls and flowers.

The gown was designed by Cecil Beaton and executed by Helene Pons based on his sketches. The cream crepe dress has black velvet stripes and an embroidered lace bib. The photo above most likely shows actress Melisande Congdon in the costume, as she performed in the play for three years.

When Truman Capote decided to throw his famous “Black and White Ball,” – he used the scene from My Fair Lady as its inspiration. Deborah Davis’ wonderful book The Party of the Century mentions that much of the gossip about town was about “who” everyone would wear. Amanda Carter Burden, daughter of Babe Paley, was able to sidestep this conversation and not commit to any one designer when she chose a gown from the film My Fair Lady. A drawing of Amanda in costume, sketched by Kenneth Paul Block, appeared on the front page of Women’s Wear Daily.

But was her gown from the film adaptation of My Fair Lady? Amanda was based in New York City, and it would have been far easier for her to obtain one of the costumes from the Broadway show.

In addition, no costume in the film accurately matches the one she wore to the ball. There is one that is similar and clearly based on the same design, but it appears to be a different piece. 

In 2015, the dress from the Broadway production went up for sale, where it sold for $1280. It contains a lace dickey that the auction house noted has been added post-production. The dickey is clearly visible on Amanda Carter in the Black and White Ball photo. While I cannot confirm for certain that she is wearing the dress from the stage production rather than the film production, I am confident that she is.
