    I’m going to assume this is a contemporary costume, because it wasn’t behind glass. But the aesthetic with the stars and the antlers… <3

    It’s a Georgian-era fancy dress of Diana (a popular fancy dress costume) with a Yaseman Hussein metal wig commissioned by Philip Treacy, who designed the hats for the exhibit. There’s a fripperiesandfobs post saying describing it as a reproduction, but the Vogue article it links to only calls the Pleasure Garden a recreation. Many of the dresses are restored extant garments, so this one might be as well.

    book legolas is pretty cool but film legolas reminds me of one of those incredibly beautiful, incredibly stupid long haired pedigree dogs that you sometimes see in grooming parlours having their claws painted purple. like you could just pick him up and look into his eyes and there would be nothing going on behind them. film legolas has the elvish version of elevator music playing in his head at all times and i honestly love it

    Twenty-One Things You Don’t Say to a Transsexual by Riki Anne Wilchins.
