Dress Journal, Volume 48, 2022

This issue of the journal, which is a publication of the Costume Society of America, has many interesting articles, but I was most excited about the One-Hour Dress. It was invented by Mary Brooks Picken to encourage the sale of fabric and sewing lessons in the 1920s. The idea was that any one could make this simple dress in an hour and demonstrations took place under a big clocek at departments stores across the country This article by Sarah Hegge, Shirley Wajda and Mary Worrall which looks at the predecessors to the dress, its origins, marketing, instruction booklets, and even offers a remarkable surviving example. Although you can make the dress in an hour if you are a good dressmaker, the blue one you see here took a remarkable amount of hand embroidery to complete.

Then, there is yet another feature on sewing: the research report by Sarah Sheehan on Pucci sewing patterns from the 1950s through 1970s. I offer you an image of a dress and coat pattern from 1965 with the kind of hat and gloves then still required for formal public clothing.

The cover has an image of Firefighter Mose from an article on the 19th Century American clothing of white nationalism or white folkwear by Sandra Tome. Then, there are articles on Masonic apron, on visibly queer-fashion and trans-fashion brands, on pointe shoes for ballet, as well as reviews of costume books and exhibitions.

Projector totally exceeded my expectations, from start to finish they were spot on. Clearly influenced by The Pixies but they've also got their own thing going on. Great version of The Pixies Tame though.

Good mary mother of christ I fucking hate "The Joker & The Queen" top 40 Ed Sheehan and Taylor Swift collab single, the first time I heard it I thought 'OK neat some fresh funeral music, was really getting tired of Sarah Mclaughlin's In The Arms of the Angels, this is a nice change of pace" but noooooooooo now my location plays it minimum six times a shift and I have to hear it 30 times a week over and over again like I'm trapped in a Groundhog Day-esque water torture time loop that takes place at Harley Quinn's Suicide Squad-Era Wake that she herself preemptively picked the music for on a Spotify Playlist made after a melancholy 3am post- Domestic Disturbance ice cream binge

The stub is just for your own reference so he could have filled that in later, yes.

But I'm with you, numbering them in order of "recruitment" would have been the obvious and easy answer. Maybe whoever wrote the book thought they were being clever by making the comic explanation a deliberate lie, and then handwaved the specifics. Maybe the monocle showed Reggie a vision of the apocalypse where he saw the grown-up versions of each baby and numbered them accordingly.

Or maybe two things can be true at once: they were numbered in order of retrieval at first and then once he had the whole set, Reg reshuffled the numbers. Klaus just happened to be #4 both times. This would be be an explanation that doesn't even need to involve any monocle magic at all. And it would explain why Allison is only #3, since as a baby her power would have manifested in very limited ways.

Actually, imagine if Klaus wasn't #4 at all. Sarah-Beth said he has the same eyes as his mother but you know who else has green eyes? Five. And since Robert Sheehan is Irish it would be hilarious if actually, Klaus is Irish and Five is Amish. 😂 (I don't think that's actually the case, provided Void!Rachel kept an eye on the "correct" baby the entire time, but I kind of want someone to write a fanfiic about the switch-up now.)

As for the Sparrows' ranking, I do think it's ascending by usefulness. Ben used to be #1 because he's very powerful but he fucked up a mission (presumably the Jennifer Incident), and got demoted. Marcus isn't as powerful as him but he's a proper leader and knows how to best use the team to its full advantage, so it made sense for him to become #1 instead.

yea i think that solves the logic issue i was having.

Reginald adopts them all as "small recruits" and then names the Umbrella's in terms of descending power, and the Sparrow's in terms of ascending usefulness

then he fills in the rest of the stub with the number he first gave them so he could check his records if any problems arose.

this would then mean that the Umbrella's couldn't change their numbers even if they thought they could. but the Sparrows could change their numbers even if they thought they couldn't.

and yea i really wish more people talked about the mothers altogether tbh bc i find them so interesting. and how the kids felt about them too. Viktor's book confirms that he thought his mother was a lying, money grabbing deadbeat but that he changed his mind when they went to Russia and he discovered that she had died (im gonna post a transcript of that soon too).

Shocking £11bn global trade in babies must end. Here’s what Keir Starmer should do

By Susan Dalgety Published 13th Jul 2024, 06:00 BST

As wealthy people buy babies from poor women whose health often suffers as a result, Keir Starmer should move quickly to ban surrogacy

The global trade in babies is big business. Research company Global Market Insights estimates the surrogacy industry was worth $14 billion (nearly £11bn) in 2022 and expects this to grow to $129bn by 2033.

Celebrities think nothing of renting a woman’s womb to secure a baby. Singer Robbie Williams and his wife used a surrogate for two of their four children. Actor Sarah Jessica Parker, she of Sex and the City fame, was delivered twin girls by a surrogate.

Even government ministers, desperate to have children, turn to this controversial method. Two years ago, the new Work and Pensions Secretary, Liz Kendall, revealed in her local newspaper that she and her partner were delighted to announce they were having a baby… through surrogacy.

But it was a decision in Edinburgh Sheriff Court a few days ago that exposed the ethical questions at the heart of this most controversial practice. A judge decided that a 72-year-old man and his now-dead wife were the legal parents of a three-year-old boy, Child A, who had been born in the USA under a surrogacy arrangement.

Sheriff Wendy Sheehan accepted the man was outwith the normal accepted range of parenthood but, in her written judgment, pointed out that he is “active and energetic” and had secured a nursery place for the child and involved him in various age-appropriate activities. He was also “researching boarding schools” for his son’s secondary education.

‘Gestational carrier’

And while Sheriff Sheehan admitted that she would not have granted an adoption order to a man in his 70s, she said the child’s welfare would be compromised if the court did not grant a parental order in these circumstances. “These concerns must be balanced with the fact that A’s welfare would be gravely compromised by the court’s refusal to make an order,” she said, “His gestational carrier has had no contact with him since birth. He is now aged three years and 10 months.”

And there, in a judgment handed down by Edinburgh Sheriff Court, is the reason that surrogacy is unethical. The child’s birth mother, a woman who rented out her womb to elderly strangers in circumstances we will never know, is dismissed as a “gestational carrier”. She is dehumanised. Reduced to nothing more than a living incubator for a rich couple who were far too old to have a baby but wealthy enough to buy one.

A surrogacy pregnancy is also more dangerous for a woman’s health. Only this week, Canadian researchers who looked at the records of nearly one million births revealed that surrogates, who usually become pregnant by IVF, have double the chance of dangerous pregnancy complications such as high blood pressure and heavy bleeding. Around seven per cent of surrogates suffered severe complications, compared with 2.4 per cent of women with natural conceptions and 4.6 per cent who had undergone IVF.

Psychological impact on mothers

Marina Ivanova, the study’s author, said there could be several reasons for this, including the “physiological and psychological impact associated with carrying a pregnancy for another person” and “the socio-demographic characteristics of those who choose to become gestational carriers”. In other words, surrogates are more likely to be women living in poverty, and carrying a baby for strangers will have an adverse impact on a woman’s physical and mental well-being. Tell me again, which aspect of this practice is ethical?

It is a crime in this country to buy and sell human organs such as kidneys because law-makers and the medical profession understand that such a trade could lead to the terrible exploitation of vulnerable people. Yet surrogacy, where a young woman’s body is used to incubate a baby for strangers, is considered perfectly acceptable.

The Surrogacy Arrangements Act of 1985 set out the legal basis for the practice, and last year the Scottish Law Commission and its partner body, the Law Commission of England & Wales, published proposals to liberalise UK surrogacy law even further, including a proposal to allow the “intended parents” to become a child’s legal guardians from birth. At the moment, it can take up to a year for this to happen.

Starmer must act

And while commercial surrogacy is illegal in the UK, “intended parents” can pay a woman “reasonable expenses” to carry a child for them. Many people, including the elderly couple who were the subject of the Edinburgh judgment this week, go abroad to buy a baby. Dr Herjeet Marway of Birmingham University points out that Britons are the largest consumers of the Indian commercial surrogacy industry, which is reportedly worth over £300 million a year.

Little wonder that women’s rights campaigners are now calling for an outright ban on surrogacy, among them Surrogacy Concern. Its founder, Helen Gibson, says that, at the very least, the legal loophole that allows Britons buy a baby outside the UK should be closed. She adds: “It is selfish and grossly irresponsible to pursue surrogacy at all. We call on the UK Government to ban the practice of surrogacy in its entirety.”

The demand for surrogacy is rising. It is driven by people with wealth, same-sex couples, women who are infertile or too old to have a child of their own, and some who are simply “too posh to push”. Even people who in other aspects of their life consider themselves progressive or left of centre seem happy to exploit another human being to get what they crave – a baby to call their own.

But babies should not be for sale. Women are not “gestational carriers”, and surrogacy is a feminist issue. The new Prime Minister has a never-ending to-do list, but if he is serious about building a country where every single person is treated with respect, as he promised only last week, then he should start with a ban on surrogacy.
