It's no use struggling now...
[ID: A digital drawing of pink-haired Hinako Mishuku from Your turn to die. Her hair is darker pink & much messier, she has a large brow cardigan and red ribbon instead of her usual uniform, and she has a nose piercing & ear piercings. Shown from the torso up, she's leaning on a table with one hand resting on it and her knuckles on the other resting against her cheek. She stares up at something, tiredly. She has a large, black speech bubble over her, in white writing it says; "My name is", and underneath that is a hot pink censor bar. The background is dark and fades at the bottom, but behind her the name "Hinako Mishuku" in all caps is repeated over and over again across the whole drawing.
The second image is the same, but the repeated name in the background is overlayed over the whole image, and some of her name falls over the pink censor bar. end ID]
[ID: The same as the very first drawing, but Hinako & her speech bubble both have a hot pink outline. end ID]

Pink Silk Ball Gown with Large Puff Sleeves, c.1890s
This exquisite pink silk ball gown was donated by Elizabeth Philipse Iselin, wife of Ogden Curtis Noel (1935-2019). The two lived on Silvermine Road in New Canaan with their family. The dress belonged to Elizabeth’s great grandmother, Carolyn Lydia Goodridge (Mrs. John H. Iselin Jr.) who was married in 1899. Carolyn wore the gown at the Bradley Martin Costume Ball at the Waldorf Astoria on February 11, 1897- a social event rating two full pages in the New York Herald. It was labeled by Kentucky newspaper Lexington Leader at the time as “the most splendid fancy dress ball ever given in America”. The interior label of the dress reads “Mme A. Donova, 280 Madison Avenue.”
This dress is a striking example of ball gowns in the 1890s. Women’s daywear was characterized by stiff, high collars and tight sleeves extending to the wrist. Bodices also featured large puffed sleeves at the shoulder, and skirts lacked the large bustle of previous decades. Eveningwear, however, was often much more revealing. Ball gowns such as the pink silk dress had low, wide necklines- a stark contrast to the conservative attire worn just hours before. Sleeves were shortened to show off bare arms, and skirts extended outwards in a trumpet shape, often with a short train.

I've got a new kettle! I'm in love, truly. It's pleasantly pink (I adore pink), and it has this vintage vibe and a built-in thermometer.
