Fooduary Day 9: Lemon Bars
While lemons were used in deserts for a way, way long time, they weren't really made into what we call Lemon Bars until they were officially Lemon Bars in 1962. Making the Lemon bars the most recent dessert invention so far. And yes, of course I had to go with a pillbox hat, but I might have gotten carried away with the powdered sugar.
I am the artist! Do not post without permission & credit! Thank you! Come visit me over on: instagram, tiktok or check out my coloring book available now \ („• ֊ •„) /

Marilyn Monroe wearing the iconic Jean Louis skin-tight nude mesh dress, which has more than 6,000 hand-sewn crystals, was specifically made for Monroe to wear to a Democratic fundraiser and 45th birthday celebration for President John F. Kennedy at Madison Square Garden on May 19th 1962, where she sang “Happy Birthday Mr. President” to the delighted President. 
The body hugging flesh coloured dress was inspired by a sketch by a 21-year-old Bob Mackie. Monroe asked famed Hollywood costume designer Jean Louis to create a dress “that only Marilyn Monroe could wear.” The nude chiffon gown, perfectly matching Monroe’s skin tone, is embellished with hand-sewn round crystals, carefully placed since the dress was created with no underlining layer. Monroe wore no undergarments under the dress. The back of the dress has a scoop neck and open back with clear zipper, covered by hook and eye tab closure and a small train at the back hem. Despite the zipper and closures, the gown was so form fitting that Louis later disclosed that Monroe had to be sewn into the back closure. His hand stitching is still evident beneath the lower back hook and eye tabs. The dress sold at Julien’s Auction on November 17, 2016 for $4.8 million, making it the most expensive dress ever sold. Today the value of the dress is even higher.

Today I saw a 1916 Pierce Arrow and my imagination flew off to the 1910s and 1920s. 💖

The sports corset. Do you wear a corset whilst cycling? I tried it for the first time the other week and while it was immensely comfortable, I wouldn’t recommend it in a daily wear corset as I tend to sweat through my bottom layer (in this case, a tank top).

Was trying to find suffragette sashes in pride colors for not particular reason, here are the very cool things I found instead with links:
- trans rights suffragette sash: X They also have both pro Ukraine sashes and pro choice sashes as well as regular vote for women ones (British edition).
- “Vintage style not vintage values” pin: X
- This Edwardian reproduction etsy shop: X Warning: you will drool. Also this shop is Ukrainian owned and the stuff is surprisingly affordable for being hand made and it looks amazing and I’m about to spend all of my textbook money please and thank you. Seriously, I’m about to drop my life savings

HOW TO GIVE PERSONALITY TO A CHARACTER
Giving personality to a character is an essential part of character development in storytelling, whether you're writing a novel, screenplay, or creating a character for a role-playing game. Here are some steps and considerations to help you give personality to your character:
Understand Their Backstory:
Start by creating a detailed backstory for your character. Where were they born? What were their childhood experiences like? What significant events have shaped their life? Understanding their past can help you determine their motivations, fears, and desires.
2. Define Their Goals and Motivations:
Characters often become more interesting when they have clear goals and motivations. What does your character want? It could be something tangible like a job or a romantic relationship, or it could be an abstract desire like happiness or freedom.
3. Determine Their Strengths and Weaknesses:
No one is perfect, and characters should reflect this. Identify your character's strengths and weaknesses. This can include physical abilities, intellectual skills, and personality traits. Flaws can make characters relatable and three-dimensional.
4. Consider Their Personality Traits:
Think about your character's personality traits. Are they introverted or extroverted? Shy or outgoing? Kind or selfish? Create a list of traits that describe their character. You can use personality frameworks like the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator or the Big Five Personality Traits as a starting point.
5. Give Them Quirks and Habits:
Quirks and habits can make a character memorable. Do they have a specific way of speaking, a unique fashion style, or an unusual hobby? These details can help bring your character to life.
6. Explore Their Relationships:
Characters don't exist in isolation. Consider how your character interacts with others. What are their relationships like with family, friends, and enemies? These relationships can reveal a lot about their personality.
7. Show, Don't Tell:
Instead of explicitly telling the audience about your character's personality, show it through their actions, dialogue, and decisions. Let the reader or viewer infer their traits based on their behavior.
8. Create Internal Conflict:
Characters with internal conflicts are often more engaging. What inner struggles does your character face? These can be related to their goals, values, or past experiences.
9. Use Character Arcs:
Consider how your character will change or grow throughout the story. Character development is often about how a character evolves in response to the events and challenges they face.
10. Seek Inspiration:
Draw inspiration from real people, other fictional characters, or even historical figures. Study how people with similar traits and backgrounds behave to inform your character's actions and reactions.
11. Write Dialogue and Inner Monologues:
Writing dialogue and inner monologues from your character's perspective can help you get inside their head and understand their thought processes and emotions.
12. Consider the Setting:
The setting of your story can influence your character's personality. For example, a character who grows up in a war-torn environment may have a different personality than one raised in a peaceful, affluent society.
13. Revise and Refine:
Don't be afraid to revise and refine your character as you write and develop your story. Characters can evolve and change as the narrative unfolds.
Remember that well-developed characters are dynamic and multi-faceted. They should feel like real people with strengths, weaknesses, and complexities. As you write and develop your character, put yourself in their shoes and think about how they would react to various situations. This will help you create a compelling and believable personality for your character.

I’m watching Jesse Gender’s video acknowledging the criticism against that one line in her video and how she needs to address her own blind spots when it comes to trans men, which I think it’s awesome that we’re being listened to when I would’ve fully expected us to be written off by most other people, but one thing she mentioned got me thinking (read: distracted) about how exactly trans men challenge the gender power hierarchy. It’s something I’ve tried touching on before but it didn’t really take off as much as I wanted it to and I think that’s because I didn’t phrase it as well as I could have. And I don’t even know if I’ll succeed right now cause if I’m being honest, I’m not sure how to phrase it. Damn if I won’t try tho.
But like how nonbinary people challenge it by not even fitting into it and trans women challenge it by “lowering themselves,” I think trans men challenge it by making people question what sense or value the hierarchy has in the first place in a way that invokes a fear that those who wish to uphold that hierarchy clearly have but won’t say so too directly.
Dial your clock back to the women’s suffrage movement for a second. Have you seen the anti-suffragette posters? They certainly seem to imply that if women can vote, they can do basically anything else a man can do. She can put on pants, get a job, find a woman to marry, and - oh the horror! - live basically identically to a man. You don’t want women to become men, do you? Oh but let’s move forward. Inch by inch. Women did more things that men could do and this was a massive big deal and scared the shit out of people, but eventually it was sorta-okay. As long as they’re still women. We need to make sure they understand they are still women even if they do all these things. But of course, there’s still backwards asshats trying to turn time back to before all of this.
I’ve heard the arguments that people who think a woman’s proper place is in the kitchen wearing a dress and an apron, barefoot and pregnant with three kids already at her ankles, have made about these things. I can anyway and it’s smart to do so but I don’t even have to turn to historical writings to see it; they’re on YouTube and Rumble or whatever it’s called. They’re on Xitter. They’re even on tumblr of all places. I’ve noticed something about them; as soon as trans men are brought up, they sound exactly like the anti-suffragette posters. The hand-wringing about women getting jobs and bank accounts. One example I’ve heard from someone I’m not going to give the honor of promoting was a man who got so angry about a nonbinary person, who he believed was a trans man, being on the cover of a men’s fashion magazine. In his anger, he went on a rant that went something like “you just think men have it so much better than you cause you believe in male privilege so you wanna pretend to be one of us, but when another man tries to fight you over your girl, you’re gonna get your ass beat. You couldn’t handle being a real man!” And like, people like this guy thought women couldn’t handle most jobs out there. They thought women couldn’t be financially responsible enough to be allowed control over their own money. They thought women voting would lead to the worst candidates taking office and, even worse, then a woman could end up in office and there’s no way she could handle it. But uh. Plenty of women prove this wrong on a daily basis. This guy had to create a very specific scenario in which he believes a hypothetical trans man couldn’t handle it but any cis man should be able to. And quite frankly, it doesn’t work cause the number of cis women who’ve successfully beaten the shit out of cis men in various circumstances is a pretty good indicator that ASAB has nothing to do with fighting ability.
In short, in the eyes of a misogynist, if women can do literally anything a man can do, even become a man, then what fucking sense does patriarchy make in the first place? If you can become a man, thrive as a man, and fulfill the role of a man without issue, all while having been AFAB, then what makes (cis) men so much better than women? What was the point of all this in the first place?
What even makes a man a man?
I think those questions scare them. They don’t want to even try to answer it. They’re comfortable with the notion of those they think of as men are men, those they think of as women are women are women, this is a state as static and inflexible as a thick lead pole sticking out of the ground, and there is a natural place and role for the two genders. And every trans person no matter how they’re trans takes this notion and uproots it at multiple points at once.
The worst part is? If they just sat down with an open mind and asked these questions, a massive percentage of the trans community would be able to answer all of them. We already had to ask what makes a man a man or a woman a woman. We just don’t have simple answers most of the time.
Okay now that I’m done thinking way too much about that one point, I’m gonna keep watching the video.

to a certain extent i understand that middle aged people correcting teenagers about the latter's interpretation of nostalgic fashion trends is unwelcome and can spoil some of the fun, because the point is not to be historically accurate, the point is to evoke and inhabit a feeling of beauty and a closeness to a romanticized past. so i want you to know that when i go to frankly unreasonable lengths to post credit for photographs, or correct factual errors, or provide first person accounts and context, it's not because i think a 15 year old should care about what i say about Tripp pants and especially not because i think they should change how they dress or engage with aesthetics they enjoy because i told them to. adults should stay out of young people's business and not make assumptions about knowing how they feel or experience the world
the reason I'm doing it is just to make sure the information is written down somewhere, attached to the posts that are already circulating, and available if and when someone is interested, or trying to write a nonfiction book, or track down a particular artist, or verify a date. when i do my OWN research on any topic, a great deal of my leads come from people like me having made posts like the ones I'm making now, just ten or twenty years ago. the more redundant information they include and the more pedantic they are about it, the more useful it is to me. this is true throughout the entire historical record. the more pointless information that "everyone knows" that you can include when you're making a record of something, the better. at worst it bores people in the present, but the value to people in the future can be enormous
