Kira Nerys’s relationships are so funny. Imagine your boss is a messenger to the gods. Your boyfriend is a cardinal, then your next boyfriend is the prime minister. You have personal beef with the pope. Hitler wants to fuck you. And you end up dating a mall cop.
I’ve probably tagged @writergeekrhw on this one before, apologies if so, but couldn’t resist.
There’s a drawing by Rembrandt, I think it’s the greatest drawing ever done. It’s in the British Museum and it’s of a family teaching a child to walk, so it’s a universal thing, everybody has experienced this or seen it happen. Everybody. I used to print out Rembrandt drawings big and give them to people and say: “If you find a better drawing send it to me. But if you find a better one it will be by Goya or Michelangelo perhaps.” But I don’t think there is one actually. It’s a magnificent drawing, magnificent.
The head donut is the baby proofing. We put rubber over sharp corners, they put a donut on the baby’s head.
The one below is from the Met and is from the early 19th century. As you can see in the drawing, the design didn’t change much from Rembrandt’s time. According to the Met, they were called bumpers or pudding caps.
This peach robe à 𝒍𝒂 𝒇𝒓𝒂𝒏ç𝒂𝒊𝒔𝒆 recently made an appearance in the 2025 𝑽𝒐𝒈𝒖𝒆 𝑾𝒐𝒓𝒍𝒅: 𝑯𝒐𝒍𝒍𝒚𝒘𝒐𝒐𝒅 fashion show, where pieces of fashion, inspired by film costumes, were interspersed with real film costumes. This gown, worn by @synnoveardal in the fashion show, was originally designed by James Acheson for Michelle Pfeiffer as Madame De Tourvel in the 1988 𝑫𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒔 𝑳𝒊𝒂𝒊𝒔𝒐𝒏𝒔.
But did you know that this gown was also worn in several other productions over the years? It’s most well-known for its reuse in the 1993 film 𝑯𝒐𝒄𝒖𝒔 𝑷𝒐𝒄𝒖𝒔, where it was worn by Vinessa Shaw as Allison.
