“We are all alone, born alone, die alone, and—in spite of True Romance magazines—we shall all someday look back on our lives and see that, in spite of our company, we were alone the whole way. I do not say lonely—at least, not all the time—but essentially, and finally, alone. This is what makes your self-respect so important, and I don't see how you can respect yourself if you must look in the hearts and minds of others for your happiness.” | Hunter S. Thompson | | The Proud Highway: Saga of a Desperate Southern Gentleman | 1955-1967

A big happy 4th of July to my American simmers! What better way to celebrate than by creating a look book showcasing some of the most notable and iconic first ladies?

CC links under the cut.

Martha Washington was the first first lady of the United States, although the title wasn’t coined until after her death. She took on the social role of the president's wife reluctantly, becoming a national celebrity in the process.

Louisa Adams was born in London and raised in France. In fact she was the only foreign-born first lady until Melania Trump. While serving she took to writing, producing plays, essays, poems, and an autobiography.

Hair | Earrings | Dress | Undershirt & Shoes | Socks (Get To Work)

Mary Todd Lincoln staunchly supported her husband throughout his presidency and was active in keeping national morale high during the Civil War. She was seated next to Abraham when he was infamously assassinated.

Hair | Earrings | Dress

Frances Cleveland is the only first lady to have served in the role during two non-consecutive terms. At just 21 years old when she first starting serving, she is the youngest presidential spouse in American history and the first to actually marry in the White House.

Hair | Suit (direct download - Marilla’s suit) | Gloves (My Wedding Stories)

Nellie Taft was a very progressive woman for her time and was closely involved in the political aspects of the presidency, regularly sitting in on meetings and serving as her husband's closest advisor.

Hair | Earrings | Choker | Dress | Shoes

Mamie Eisenhower was a popular first lady and recognized as a fashion icon, known for her iconic bangs and frequent use of the colour pink.

Hair | Earrings | Dress | Watch (Vintage Glamour) | Shoes (Base Game)

Jackie Kennedy (header) was regarded as an international fashion icon and her work as a cultural ambassador of the United States made her very popular globally. She established the White House Historical Association, which has had a lasting impact on the cultural landscape of the United States.

Hair (Nifty Knitting) | Earrings (Base Game) | Suit

Betty Ford was one of the most candid first ladies in history, commenting on the hot-button issues of the time such as feminism, equal pay, the Equal Rights Amendment, sex, drugs, and abortion. After undergoing her own recovery, she founded and served as the first chair of the board of directors of the Betty Ford Center for substance abuse and addiction.

Hair | Suit | Ring (My Wedding Stories) | Shoes (Base Game)

Michelle Obama worked as an advocate for poverty awareness, education, nutrition, physical activity, and healthy eating during her time as first lady. She also supported American designers and was considered a fashion icon.

Hair | Necklace | Dress | Shoes (Recolour) | Shoes (Mesh - TSR)

From 1974. "The Lords of Flatbush ". Starring Sylvester Stallone & Henry Winkler. About growing up in the late 1950's and coming of age. 4 street toughs. This is one of the trailers. But as I just found out moments ago, their are at least 2 more. I'll see if I can find them in a downloadable source.

Do you own any Looney Tunes production art?

i’m incredibly fortunate enough to say that I DO!! i own this wonderful photostat model sheet from Porky the Wrestler!

a photostat is essentially the ‘30s equivalent of a photocopy, so it’s not THE actual model sheet drawing, but it was still in the hands of at least one of the animators who worked on the short! if you hold it at a certain angle and get the light to reflect off of it, there are actually some indentations of writing, as if someone was writing on a piece of paper on top of it… and of course the hooves and side snout drawn in marker which aren’t meant to be there (maybe it was a slow work day?)

i actually still haven’t gotten it framed, i need to… but i also just really enjoy being able to hold it in my hands and try and make out the writing indentations on top and also lose my mind at Oh My God Someone In The Tex Avery Unit Touched This At One Point. plus, the material is glossy/has a cardboard sort of feel to it (like a more sturdy printed photograph) so it’s not as delicate as animation paper and gets along fine sitting on my shelf as is HAHA. still, definitely want to find a proper means of displaying it sometime!

#it’s the oldest item in my collection :) i presume from sometime in late 1936 since the short was released in very early 1937 #second oldest is my 1938 Porky’s Duck Hunt book #thennn a Porky compilation comic book from 1942? then things get a little ambiguous with the age but generally span from the mid 40s #such as my Porky coasters Porky and Daffy pencil stand and piggy bank respectively and ceramic Daffy figure #i have a LT record album from 1947 and then a Bugs Bunny little golden book and Dell comic book from 1949… and two other Dell comics from 1 #1950 and 1951. aaand a Pepe Pepsi glass from the 70s #and that’s the extent of my vintage collection!#anonymous #asks #I FORGOT MY PORKY SQUEAK TOY! i have a rubber Porky squeak toy from sometime in the 50s also and he is very cute and makes me happy #he stands proudly next to the ceramic Daffy figure as they both keep the peace
