It was a beautiful day in Melbourne today. It finally felt like #frocktober even if the sun decided to hide for a little while this afternoon. It does make for some cool lighting. #trans #transjoy #frockingFabulous #spring #Melbourne

Hashtags or things I used to check on Twitter but haven't seen pop up anywhere here:

#HarrySullivan #GloriousGeorgians #TheHusbandsOfRiverSong #FrockingFabulous #Goblincore as an account.

Some presumably just not run into yet or checked, but if there aren't several entries on e.g. the #IanMarter Harry tag 4 me to just boost the way I used 2 there? There is not enough happening here on fannish fronts.

And no. There are TWO posts on the Marter 1. Not hundreds as once.

it’s pretty🍌🍌to me that “high”fashion revolves around just selling bags & perfume🙄; 2 things i was always #meh about #statusSymbol

very few people buy the actual runway clothes & do not get me started on how i feel about this b/c could go on literally forever about all of it

2 of the BEST books written are by #DanaThomas & #GrantMcCraken

our #values as a society are totally broken & Arnault, Bezos & Musk are beyond evil little sh*ts

Kate Strasdin on Instagram: "A cloud of lilac tulle swirls around the body, ghostly in its blurring of the silhouette, shifting one way and then another as the wearer moves. It is a gown of dancing smoke, a 1950s fantasy @chicagomuseum #1950sfashion #1950sdress #1950sstyle #1950sdesign #tulledress #lilactulle #lilacdress #fiftiesfashion #fiftiesdress #fiftiesstyle #sheerdress #dresshistory #fashionhistories #purpledress"
