I love this quote from her blog:
it’s a line from one of the short stories
in Tim Burton’s The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy. -
Dear Stalker,
I woke up to a nastygram in my inbox from you claiming that I “stole” this image from your tumblr. Which makes me giggle because I’ve had you blocked for months so please don’t flatter yourself. I understand that you are young but honestly this is just childish.
So to straighten out this baseless accusation that I “stole” an image that may I remind you belongs to a museum, it’s from an online forum about Regency fashion. They linked to the museum therefore I linked to the museum.You don’t like it? I don’t really care.
Obviously there will be outfits that you have already posted that I am going to post and vice versa. That’s what happens when you post the entire museum collection. I post themes. You post the entire online database.
The important thing to remember in situations like this is that you don’t OWN a single image so get off your high horse and quite preaching to the choir.
You are the one who stalks my blog not the other way around.
Much love,
Me

LF says “Maker unknown
American, 1820s
Mull, cotton
x-1968-434
Collection of the Litchfield Historical SocietyWomen’s clothing of the first quarter of the 19th century transformed ideas of appropriate and fashionable dress. The stiff corsets, structured dresses, and elaborate fabrics of the late 18th century gave way to the draping folds and soft, thin cottons and silks. Women exchanged the exaggerated hips of the earlier style for high waists and long, straight gowns, mimicking the dresses they saw in classical Greek and Roman art. First adopted by the French, this “Empire” style quickly became popular among young women. Older generations felt this style ws too revealing, as the lightweight fabrics hid very few curves.”
