With my love of the history of fashion and costume, this was too good not to share (even if it's not relevant to my *current* research). Hilarious.
And an excellent title for some women's studies paper: "when azure veins were extra sexy" ...
People have always been hilarious and stupid.
I find that so very reassuring.
(Note that for most people, the length of this article will result in diminishing returns over its full extent for anyone not particularly fired up about the history of corsetry and its discontents. Still, the introductory blurbs are all-access awesome. For the very dedicated, the article does end on some historical prints and portraits of truly eye-popping - and definitely NSFW - educational usefulness.)
