ah ... so he's mine for now ? how good ... i'll make sure to pay extra if i decide to keep him for longer than we agreed on . but worry not , he will be returned soon . ♡

Thank you.
Celia, you know how much I trust you. You don’t have to pay extra, but a phone call would be nice. Be careful with Eve, alright? He’s missing an eye now and his legs are mangled up…just keep that in mind. My nagging aside…
Have fun with him.~

BEDSITTER GIRL
JANE ASHER
[1966]
I'm sure that many of you are already quite familiar with this photograph of Jane Asher, it has been reproduced several times in various fashion books over the years, but it was originally published in a magazine editorial called The Time, The Place, The Dress, and (if you still need it) The Food, by Molly Parkin for Nova in 1966, and printed poster-sized over a double-page layout, measuring 51.5 cm x 34cm for full visual impact! Molly commissioned Ossie Clark and Celia Birtwell to design the dress especially for the feature, she specifically wanted something which represented not only the fast-paced, disposable, transient nature of the current youthful attitude towards fashion trends but also something with enough decorative value to end up on the wall in a bedsitter as pop paraphernalia after it had been worn at the weekend, rather than thrown out with the trash!
So what better candidate for potential 'wall art' than a printed paper dress! Celia painted her initial ideas in gouache, inspired by the work of Paul Poiret and illustrations from La Gazzete du Bon Ton. The finished designs were then printed onto a suitable Johnson & Johnson manufactured paper by the 'Art to Wear' company of Zika Ascher, and the dresses were made to order for the sum of 17s 6d each. I love the fact that Celia also took it upon herself to paint the vinyl floor tiles in the mock-up bedsit, mirroring the design detail from the border of the garment to complete the overall look. And that Molly (a woman after my own heart), attributed just about every single item on display in the magazine feature to its original source, from the Biba beads right down to the Woolworth lollipops and sticks of rock!
On the floor: Jane Asher in a dress designed by Ossie Clark made of printed paper fabric designed by Celia Birtwell; made to order in small, medium and large sizes, approximately 17s 6d. Bangle at Woolworths, 2s 9d. Vinyl floor tiles painted by Celia Birtwell. Lilac patent shoe by Russell & Bromley, 7½ gns. Amber patent shoe by Elliot, 8 gns. Coloured cigarette by Sobraine, 7s 2d for twenty. Coloured crepe stockings by Russell & Bromley, 6s 11d. Pop tin tray by Goods & Chattels. 9s 6d.
Close-up of the design detail from the border of the dress.
Above: One of Celia's initial designs for the paper dress rendered in gouache, inspired by the work produced at the Martine School of Decorative Arts in Paris. The school was set up by designer Paul Poiret in 1911 at 'La Maison Poiret' in an endeavour to realise his dream of creating a decorative arts movement in France which would be on par with the new developments in the arts taking place in Vienna and Germany at this time. The students mainly consisted of young working class girls between the ages of 12-15 years old, Poiret encouraged them to work freely from nature, organising trips to the countryside and conservatories whenever possible, but apart from this input they were otherwise without artistic supervision. His role was merely to stimulate their artistic taste without influencing or criticising them, in order to maintain the purity of the original source of inspiration in the work. He would then select a range from the finished designs which were suitable for reproduction and have them applied to fabrics, wallpapers, carpets, cushions and ceramics.
The work received an excellent response amongst art circles, and following an exhibition at the Salon d'Automne in 1912 the demand was such that Poiret opened a retail outlet called 'Atelier Martine' on Rue du Faubourg St Honoré. With a very favourable review in Vogue, the Martines went from strength to strength, also using their designs to create magnificent large scale murals, transforming hotels, shops, offices, private houses and the studio of dancer Isadora Duncan into exotic oriental palaces in the process. An international reputation was quickly established, however, the gathering momentum of the Martines success was stopped in its tracks by the outbreak of WW1 in 1914. The school closed for the duration of the war, with many of the students relocated to a safer environment. Business eventually resumed as normal in the aftermath, but although Poiret tried several times to re-establish his career and the Martine style, most notably in the mid 1920s with an extravagant display at the International Art Deco Fair in Paris, both failed to ever regain the immense popularity of their glory days.
Three designs for round carpets, typical of the Martine style, from the workbooks of the School of Decorative Arts.

it's a fairly widely believed in-universe misconception that seals are the most common kind of selkie, because it's technically true. there are more seals than any other group of animal, simply because an ant drone who was a selkie was in service to elizant ii for a long time and had a lot of seal babies - however, there are not many other family lines of seals, just this one guy with so many children
#selkiebugs old#specifically all the ant selkies are harp seals#muse and some of her descendants are steller sea lions#celia is a different animal (weird blue chicken) because she's a different kind of ant

Kieron Moore as Hercules (idk if he can sing) my backup options would be Antonio Cipriano or Jake Austin Walker -both can sing!!!
India Amarteifio as Megara (she can sing!!!)
The muses - Hailey Kilgore, Celia Rose Gooding, Coco Jones, Justine Skye, and Morgan Reese. (They all can sing!!! Also, all of them would be great Tiana for a live adaptation of The Princess and the Frog.)

I would hurt you or use you. | you unsettle me. | I dislike you or you annoy me. | I would like to get to know you better. | I pity you. | you confuse me. | I feel indifferent towards you. | I would be friends with you. | I would fight by your side. | I would hug you or hold your hand. | I would kiss you. | I would sleep with you. | I would lie for you. | I would protect you. | I would fall in love with you. | I would kill for you | I respect you. | you are my family. | I don’t know you.

you jump, i jump right? pleaseeee it sounds gutwrenching 😭
oh, celia... do you recognize where the quote comes from? because if so, you'll definitely know whether your guess is right or not.
but here, have a fun bit! (because i haven't gotten to the less fun bits yet)
Lily stared down at her hand while Fabrizia pulled the cigarette from her mouth. Fabrizia was always better at the batted eyelashes than she was, so Lily let her be coy and flirty while she focused on the cards. The men seated across from them at the small round table were now too busy watching the young Italian press Lily’s cigarette between her own lips to pay close attention to their hands. Imbeciles. Perfect.
