The Crinoline Skirt – A Victorian Fashion Trap
Andreas Hunæus (Danish, 1814 - 1886) • Princess Dagmar of Denmark with her dog • 1860s
A crinoline (/ˈkrɪn. əl. ɪn/) is a stiff or structured petticoat designed to hold out a skirt, popular at various times since the mid-19th century. Originally, crinoline described a stiff fabric made of horsehair ("crin") and cotton or linen which was used to make underskirts and as a dress lining. – Wikipedia
While the crinoline skirt was fashionable, it could also be very dangerous to wear. It is said that at least a few dozen women died in the mid-1800s because the widened skirts caught on things such as carriage wheels and machinery and also posed a fire hazard. A March 16, 1858 article from the New York Times described an incident where a woman's crinoline-widened skirts caught fire and she died. The same article discussed many such deaths occurring in London in the preceding months as well. The article went on to caution women about wearing such large skirts, because of the danger that they posed.
The crinoline hoop was pattened in April, 1856 by a Paris fashion designer.

There was much attention given to the crinoline by the media of its time, not only cautioning women about the dangers of this fashion contraption, but also ridiculing it through caricatures.

shoutout to dutch van der linde bcoming the very thing he swore to destroy. his hatred for greed and the inudstrialization of the world while he himslef takes most of the money the gang makes and puts it into his tent and his appearence and the visage of a rich man. where arthur is the tragic gero, dutch is merely a fool. quite literally a tale of madness and irony and his entire self being centered in ideals he cannot keep up with and that shatter as soon as he knows he cannot survive. the way that he is a philosopher and a savior but he seems to abhor humanity and in turn despise what he is because he cannot reach a level of what he wants to be and to appear as. leading him to venture in wealth and women and sounding smarter than his fellows. how insecure this reveals him. a sheep hiding in wolf's clothing. and though he is an icarus (his intentions true and painfully human) he is still wanting and continues into the sun until there is nothing left of him.
what a bozo

Trapped in Ones Skin (poem)

4.52 Trapped in Ones Skin
A Poem by Emilia Sameyn
NEDERLANDS BENEDEN
Imprisoned Within
Trapped in my own Skin
One is like Jekyl and Hyde
Why does One want to Fight?
Is this Realm so Dark?
Beginning a Villains Ark
Where is Love
One is Lost like a Glove
Is one Going Mad?
Is Anger all We had?
Just let me Sleep Deep
Old One Says
Day by Day, Word by Word
It is Wise,
To Hang on till Sunrise

4.52 Gevangen mijn eigenheid
Een gedicht van Emilia Sameyn
Vast VanBinnen
Gevangen in Mijn Eigenheid
De ene is als Jekyl en Hyde
Is dit Waarom Iedereen Strijd?
Is deze Wereld zo Druk?
We worden een Schurk
Waar is Liefde en Fatsoen?
Één is verloren als een Handschoen
Één word Gek en Zat
Is Woede het Enige dat Één had?
Laat mij maar Diep Slapen
De Oude Zegt
Dag na Dag, Woord voor Woord
Wees Slim
Hou Vol tot Nieuw Begin

Something about the vocal deliver of this Dutch rap song about a guy saying goodbye to his teddy bear to have more space in his bas to sleep with your girl got me feeling nostalgic and emotional in a way I cannot put into words.
