every day that i log into this website and no one is talking about this man stabbing another man in the throat and licking the blood off the knife and his fingernail polish changing with his murder outfits and his murder outfits being rotating unbuttoned silk shirts, wide linen pants, and crocodile shoes, and flirty fun hairstyles and too many accessories, and he color coordinates his soft gothcore color palettes with the pimp cars that he drives, and he only has a boner for (1) murder and (2) a six-something hyper masc baby boy on a cliff he blows kisses to when baby boy shoots his enemy off a giant dam with a rocket launcher, like???
i'm being tested by god

One Dress a Day Challenge
November: Oscar Winners
Bram Stoker's Dracula / Sadie Frost as Lucy Westenra
Year: 1992
Designer: Eiko Ishioka
Since we're coming right off of Halloween, this seems like an appropriate way to start a month of Oscar winners. I've considered featuring this one before for the theme of white and the theme of weddings, and each time I've held off because I find it so bizarre and hideous.
Eiko Ishioka, the designer, said she based the look on the Australian frilled lizard (Chlamydosaurus kingii):
But as far as I'm concerned, that raises more questions than it answers. Starting with "What in heaven's name made you look at that creature and say 'wedding dress'?"
Then again, Ishioka apparently also said that this movie would be like an adaptation of Dracula in which everyone had taken LSD. Which honestly explains more, in my opinion.
One point of interest about the dress: we never get a back view that isn't obscured by the super-long trailing veil, but from what we can see through the veil, it appears to have a multi-tiered bustle. There's a good analysis of the costume here; it and this post have some good pictures (some of which I borrowed).

As much as people have opinions about the acting, directing, and writing of Barbie, to me the most iconic part of the movie were the costumes and production design. The clothes? The sets? Iconic. I'm sure the other movies were good but the world building of Barbie through its costumes and production will be remembered far beyond. Barbie was robbed. ROBBED!!!!!!! It deserved the oscars in these categories I will die on that plastic pink hill.

Okay, Margot Robbie is a rich white woman who got to star in Barbie. This whole white feminist nonsense of her and ‘ the injustice of it all’ of no nomination when Black and brown actresses and directors being snubbed literally every year is annoying shit.
Gosling and Clinton should’ve kept those letters because it’s dumb as shit to act like a movie like that was something groundbreaking when there were other actresses of color who had eons better performance than a blonde white woman discovering men suck.
Where were these crackers when Angela Bassett and Stephanie Hsu saw a white nepo baby win for a cameo appearance ? Oh right SILENT. And they STAY SILENT when it comes to Black Women and being snubbed for stellar performances. Along with the fact America Ferrera is not being praised even though she was also in Barbie so frankly, it’s why I have been tuned off by the movie as a whole. White women are insufferable about how they show up for only themselves.

How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000, Ron Howard)
03/12/2023
How The Grinch Stole Christmas is a 2000 film directed by Ron Howard. The film is based on Dr. Seuss' book of the same name and stars Jim Carrey as the Grinch, with Jeffrey Tambor, Christine Baranski, Molly Shannon, Bill Irwin and Taylor Momsen in supporting role.
It is the second adaptation of the book after the television special How the Grinch Stole Christmas! and the first Dr. Seuss film to be made into a feature film.
Produced by Imagine Entertainment, it was distributed by Universal Pictures in the United States on November 17, 2000, while in Italy it was released on December 7 of the same year. It was originally the second highest-grossing Christmas film of all time behind Home Alone (1990) until both films were surpassed in 2018 by the third film adaptation of the story. It won the Oscar for Best Makeup, as well as receiving nominations for Best Production Design and Best Costume Design. The film is dedicated to the actress Jean Speegle Howard, mother of Ron Howard, born on January 31, 1927 and died on September 2, 2000, shortly before the theatrical release.
In a snowflake the town of Whoville is discovered, inhabited by the Whos; they all really like Christmas, which is considered the most important holiday of the year. The only creature that hates Christmas is the Grinch, a green and hairy misanthrope who lives in a cave on nearby Mount Crumpit together with his dog Max, feared by all the Whos due to his mean spirit.
On a past Christmas, the little Grinch made a Christmas angel out of metal scraps and jewels as a gift for Martha, but, due to a clumsy attempt at shaving, he showed up at school with a scarred face, being mocked by Augustus and the other classmates for this, expect Martha, causing him to lose patience, declare his hatred for Christmas and flee to Mount Crumpit, where he has lived in solitude ever since.
The Grinch goes to Whoville for the celebrations and is well received by the Whos, participates in various events and starts having fun until Augustus gives him an electric razor, reminding him of the humiliation of his childhood, and hurts him even more when he publicly declares to Martha, giving her a flashy engagement ring and a new car. He then decides to take revenge by shaving the mayor, destroying the Christmas tree in the square and wreaking havoc in the city. However, he discovers that his revenge didn't work after the townspeople take a spare tree and return to celebrate, and he angrily retreats home, while Cindy is left dejected by what happened.
When Christmas night arrives, the Grinch vows to crush the Whos' Christmas spirit and, after receiving an inspiration from Max, decides to steal all their gifts, decorations and food while they sleep: he then dresses up as Santa Claus, then builds a motorized sleigh and goes to Whoville together with the dog Max disguised as a reindeer after the gift tour of the real Santa Claus.
Later, the redeemed Grinch joins the Whos party and invites them to a Christmas lunch in his cave.

These are the earrings Black Panther costume designer Ruth E. Carter wore with that stunnnning yellow and fuchsia gown (that she designed, BTW) to the 2023 Oscars.
They look like they’re little handwoven baskets but they’re actually 3D printed pieces by artist/engineer/architect Julia Koerner. She made the isicola crowns and shoulder mantles worn by Angela Bassett’s Queen Ramonda in Black Panther and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
There are only 100 pairs of these art pieces. (Yes, they are art. Fight me.) Check out @JK3Dofficial on Instagram. They’re doing some really wonderful things with sustainability and design and fashion.
