HI DO YOU WANT SOME COSTUBE DRAMA THAT TURNED KINDA WHOLESOME

Pt 1: The Drama

Okay so a long-ass time ago (I think like 15 years), a British costume historian on youtube by the name of Cathy Hay decided she was going to remake 'the peacock Worth gown' and started a kickstarter for it. She made a bunch of money, but the actual work ended up being much more than she expected, so the project kept getting delayed.

In the years after, she befriended the now much more famous Bernadette Banner. They got close enough for cross-Atlantic trips to visit, etc. They were best friends and often joked that they were the same person.

Drama started riling up as people criticized Hay for not engaging meaningfully with the problematic history of the gown in question, which had been made for the wife of a British Governor of India during the 19th century, for a party celebrating British imperialism in India, and the gown's shining feature was Indian embroidery which was almost certainly underpaid, and that embroidery was the massively time-consuming bit that had been delaying her this whole time.

It was a whole thing that she sort of? Tried to address? buuuut The thing is, one of the seemingly obvious ways to manage this conflict would be to coordinate with an Indian embroiderer. In fact, a very accomplished specialist did reach out to her about collaborating on this! And she ghosted him! Maybe even blocked, I don't remember, but the thing was that he was ready and willing to do this cool project that could explore and reimagine a beautiful but morally ugly example of their shared countries' histories.

And she just… kept refusing to engage.

And then people started pointing out the weirdly predatory marketing she had for an online product/newsletter she had, and the discourse kept building as people realized overall that she was just… not as good a person as she claimed to be.

It got bad enough that Banner broke off the friendship, in large part because of that refusal to engage meaningfully with the loaded history of the Worth gown project

Pt 2: The Wholesome

So, a few days ago, Bernadette Banner released a video of her making a Regency gown. It's a very standard kind of project for her, just using old patterns and adding a touch of her own gothic tastes with historical methods to make a cool piece of clothing that explores costume history.

Halfway through, she has a call with someone she is planning to do a different video with. We don't know what the video is, but!

The thing is

The person she is having this call with

Is the Indian embroiderer, Mayankraj Singh, that Cath Hay ghosted.

And the video continues on with Banner and Singh talking about her Regency gown project and just. He ends up making an embroidered chiffon overgown with a crow motif. And it just feels very wholesome and I love to see this all coming back around.

(Okay, double-checked and apparently Hay requested a sample from Singh, and then ghosted him after she got photos of it)

In late September, another costumer, Miah Grace, released a video noting that, in 2020, Hay had requested an embroidery sample from with Mayankraj Singh, founder of the luxury fashion brand Atelier Shikaarbagh. Indian embroiderers in this shop possess skills that go back seven generations. Singh reportedly made a sample made but only sent Hay photos of it. After Hay stopped responding for many months, Singh went live on Instagram to explain what happened. Apparently, when his head embroiderer found the sample, he burned it, and scolded Singh for making it. “He said it was an inauspicious design,” Singh said, “and we do not make it anymore.” Hay later apologized to Singh, and he now considers the matter settled. - Craftsmanship Magazine

Anyway, yeah, after all of that from a few years ago, it was kind of exciting to see Banner collaborating with Singh

And she's so excited to open the package! Happy screaming!

It's so sweet.

He had his team embroider their names on the hem And she loves it

I am living for this vicarious excitement

(She does lay it on a bit thick at the end, but you know what. I'll take it.)

OH and the ending involves her attending the ball with Nami Sparrow, one of the creators of Indian background (Indian-American) that was a voice of Expertise criticizing Cathy Hay a few years ago.

Which is like. Tacit endorsement? If Singh alone wasn't enough.

Anyway yeah I lost my mind a little about this.

WIP Wednesday

I got tagged by @dragonagegayz for WIP Wednesday (it's Friday BUT I WAS WORKING ON THIS ON WEDNESDAY)

I have so many projects running laps in my mind but now I have been plagued by a modern AU, where Rook and esteemed professor Volkarin hook up before orientation and of course Rook is one of the research assistants assigned for the department. It's all flirting and push-and-pull and slow burn (cause I lose interest when people get together happily lmao) and feelings of unworthiness and pining. On brand as always.

Aaaand I am tagging @officialnostradamus @andthekitchensinkao3 @redheadsramblings @starfleetteddybear @85blackcat @genocidalfetus @lavender-tea-fling @thosegayoldmen

"You owe me breakfast, Rook", broke the silence that had settled in Emmrich's office. The clacking of keyboards had become a dull background noise to the storm that was brewing in Emmrich's mind.

Rook felt a flush of heat run through his veins as he was typing the reference information of Emmrich's latest article into the correct format. The professor's comment caused the last slivers of his restraint to vanish in the air.

"I'm sorry?" "For sneaking out of my bed in the middle of the night without a word." "Ah, that."

Rook attempted to lift his eyes to the man sitting opposite of him, surrounded by bookshelves filled with thick folders, books, and loose papers. Rook should get to archiving them next. It was the only thing he could focus on in that moment when Emmrich's inquisitive eyes were staring into his very soul.

Rook swallowed and stared somewhere right of Emmrich's shoulder. "Well, I mean - I just -" "Use your words. As I recall, your oral skills were more than adequate." Rook cleared his throat and took a sip of his coffee. The hot cup burned his hands less than the knot in his throat.

"I just figured I'd save you the trouble of kicking me out in the morning. I hate those morning commutes when everyone can guess where I'm coming from, y'know?" His attempt at a grin was closer to a grimace as he continued to type on the keyboard. He wasn't even looking at what he was typing, so his reference must have looked something like: Volkarin. E. (2025) The Ethical Weight and Consequences of Continued Bone Procurement from India, International Journal of Studies on Clinfdfhdjfhdfjd. "Rook, please. I fell asleep with you in my arms. If I wanted you gone, I would have called you an Uber." Rook shifted uncomfortable in his seat. Emmrich had his hands, joined, in front of him. "Just figured it'd be easier like that. Not like it was gonna be, like, a thing." Emmrich's hands were still joined at the palms. Praying for the moment to make sense. Rook felt heat creeping up under his collar. He shifted in his seat, again, under Emmrich's watchful gaze. "And you didn't think I wanted to have a say in what kind of 'thing' it could have been, if any?" "Wh - what? What are you - look, I just wanted to save both of us time and awkwardness. It's easier that way." "Ah. Right. Easy." Emmrich lowered his hand and Rook flinched.

"You have a fucking Klimt painting on your wall." Rook muttered as he cleared up the typo he had made in the journal name. Emmrich was taken aback. "I'm sorry, is my taste in art a problem for you? You could have voiced this when your mouth wasn't busy doing something else." "No, it's the - it's the fact that you fucking have it on you wall, and then you fucked me the next room over. Like it makes some sense that you have a shit-ass expensive piece of art on your wall and me in your bed. Like what were you gonna do? Wake me up with coffee then make me breakfast?" Rook scowled and swallowed. The weight in his throat was suffocating him.

If you have something so expensive and coveted in your home, how would I fit in there?

"My taste is particular. In art and… other thing. I like good wine, good coffee, and good company. So if you're trying to make a comparison to yourself being something cheap and unworthy. I won't indulge. Because I think you are delightful."

Happy days are when the sun is out and my breasts can finally be a bit warm and project far and out of my shirt as they were organically designed by the divine and I’m about to make an organic chicken pot pie from scratch with one of my favorite musical playlists serenading and ‘wetting’ a sweet vibe. It’s a 5 step process, not including chopping, therefore good music is an essential ingredient.

No matter what you are doing- whether dancing, cleaning, painting, cooking, or making love, just open your heart to passion, let your unrepressed creative wings spread into whatever you are doing. Surrender to what's present for you in the moment like your slow deep breath or hip sway and feel real love over simply being alive and present in a given moment. Doing so does wonders for your cooking skills and the quality of digestion of the meal in the bellies of everyone who eats. —India

Good news for women

The training at Sapna Center has helped the women to come up with solutions for problems in their villages.

By Rishabh Jain Published On 31 Aug 2024

Kandabari, India – On a sunny morning in Kandabari village in the northern Indian state of Himachal Pradesh, a group of students is learning to code in a classroom.

Kriti Kumari, 19, is one of 31 women at the Sapna Center, which trains rural women from marginalised backgrounds and requires them to live on campus. The centre offers a yearlong training programme in which women are taught to code and design websites and learn project management and primary-school-level maths for aspiring teachers. The organisation helps others find jobs in India’s information technology sector.

“If not for the Sapna Center, I would have been married by now and doing household chores,” Kumari, a native of the central Indian state of Jharkhand who has been at the centre for four months, told Al Jazeera.

“My brother was against the idea of my studies, and we had financial problems at home. However, my father supported me and dropped me here,” Kumari told Al Jazeera.

The centre is run by Sajhe Sapne, a nonprofit that was started in 2020 by Surabhi Yadav, 32, an alumnus of the country’s premier engineering school, the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Delhi. It has graduated 90 students so far.

For young women like Kumari, coding and programming skills help gain access to India’s $250bn IT industry, which employs more than five million people and where 36 percent of the workforce is women.

An IT job is Kumari’s goal at the end of her course, she said, even though it’s not been an easy journey so far. She had never heard the term coding and initially had a hard time understanding the concept.

Yadav said language barriers are one of the reasons why women from rural areas might not excel in STEM courses.

Ten years ago, musician Usman Riaz grabbed a pencil and started to sketch.

He might have hoped, but didn't know at the time, that it would start him on a path to making history.

That initial drawing became The Glassworker - Pakistan's first ever hand-drawn animated feature film.

It follows the story of young Vincent and his father Tomas, who run a glass workshop, and a war that threatens to upend their lives.

Vincent's relationship with violinist Alliz, the daughter of a military colonel, begins to test the bond between father and son.

Usman tells BBC Asian Network the characters ultimately come to learn "that life is beautiful but fragile, like glass”.

He describes The Glassworker as an "anti-war film" set in an ambiguous and fantastical world that takes inspiration from his home country.

“I wanted to tackle issues and themes that would have been difficult to tackle if it was based in Pakistan," he says.

The country doesn't have the thriving film industry of neighbouring India and there is no government support or incentive for budding creatives like Usman.

So The Glassworker was a passion project, he says.

“These 10 years for me have just been purely driven with passion and obsession.

“Since I was a child, I have loved hand-drawn animation and there's something so magical about it.

"The beauty of the lines drawn and painted by the human hand always resonated with me.”

Usman says he travelled the world looking for mentors and his search took him to Japanese animation house Studio Ghibli.

The influence of the Oscar-winning artists behind classics such as Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke can be seen in The Glassworker's own style.

Usman says the industry veterans at Ghibli were also the ones who encouraged him to start the production himself.

After raising $116,000 through a 2016 crowdfunding campaign he founded his own studio, Mano Animations.

From there it's been a painstaking process, especially since full production started in 2019.

“What you are watching is essentially a moving painting,” says Usman.

“Every single frame you see, whether it's a background or the character moving, it's all drawn by hand.”

Usman says that, so far, he hasn't made any money from the project and has been unable to pay his wife Maryam and cousin Khizer, who he recruited to help him.

But there's hope that the labour of love could be the start of something bigger.

Usman Riaz says he's always been a fan of animation

Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy is another experienced industry figure Usman turned to for advice about getting The Glassworker off the ground.

She directed 3 Bahadur, a computer-generated tale that was Pakistan's first-ever animated feature film.

On its 2015 release it broke box office records, even surpassing US imports and dethroning previous record-holder Rio 2.

Her studio was also the country's first female-led animation studio, and she understands the challenges of getting started better than most.

“Everything in Pakistan is driven by passion” she says. “I had to run pillar to post.

“We're a country that has limited access to electricity and our industry is heavily taxed.

"We're unable to import computers and hardware needed for animation.”

But Sharmeen – who is going to direct upcoming Star Wars film New Jedi Order – says The Glassworker could be a “monumental step” for Pakistan’s animation scene.

If it finds commercial success, she believes it will “ignite” something in the country, but there are barriers to home-grown animation becoming a red-hot trend.

The Glassworker is partly about the romance between characters Vincent and Alliz

Arafat Mazhar from Lahore-based Puffball animation agrees that “the technical skills are already there” in Pakistan despite there being “no formal training or schools available”.

But “how do you not censor yourself?” he asks.

It's a question facing any Pakistani filmmaker who has to deal with its strict board of film censors.

“Every time there's a good film that comes out that's sincere, the state ends up censoring it,” says Arafat.

He doesn't believe the rules are likely to relax soon.

Akira Toriyama: Fans reflect on Dragon Ball creator's legacy

Stranger Things season five teaser excites fans

Is Hollywood finally doing anime right?

Sharmeen agrees the government will only encourage the domestic film industry to grow if they work to "provide opportunity to create a level playing field for us to compete with the rest of the world".

“There is a lot of scope in Pakistan for animation," she says. "We've just never been given the opportunity to create it."

She shares Arafat's pessimism about the pace of change.

"Unfortunately, it will just be a few filmmakers who have that passion, who will continue to create films," she says.

But Sharmeen says she is eager to see how the world embraces The Glassworker.

"I know that there is so much in there that will touch people's hearts," she says.

Usman says The Glassworker has an anti-war message

Usman will finally get to find out how audiences react to the work he's spent 10 years pouring his energy into as The Glassworker goes on general release.

He says he hopes to “put Pakistan on the map” and show it can stand up to the giants across the border in Bollywood.

But he admits the process has been “gruelling”.

“It is extremely difficult, but we've done something nobody has ever done in the country before," he says.

"I think we've created something special that can stand toe-to-toe with the rest of the animation produced in the world.”
