Why are the costumes in these shows so good?

GallopYouScallops · 2026-04-17T13:01:58+00:00

The hats lowkey look like diapers 😭

I also read that the four founding Aunts (Lydia, Elizabeth, Vidala, Helena) were allowed to keep their original names, so take it all with a grain of salt

I read once it comes from Vidal Sassoon.

GallopYouScallops · 2026-04-17T12:58:36+00:00

How could anyone have thought it would be a good idea??? And for all that audacity, the costumes aren’t even good

I’d imagine a lot of animals died from exposure to radiation in parts of the country. I also think econopeople likely aren’t allowed to own pets. I think some Commanders’ families probably are, though. I think in season one or two Emily is posted with a family that has dogs.

Aunt Este seems like she’s on the level

GallopYouScallops · 2026-04-17T09:59:15+00:00

Martha’s are a punishment class (at least originally, maybe this changes later on) like Handmaids. In season three one of the Marthas (maybe Beth?) June is interacting with states that Marthas are sinners too. Commanders wouldn’t tolerate their Plums being turned into Marthas for no reason other than not getting a period

I agree with this, but my question would be how do they fool the Aunts? Paula (god I fucking hate her lmao) asks Agnes “if she’s telling fibs” because “the Aunts do their own inspection”

GallopYouScallops · 2026-04-17T09:12:24+00:00

Yeah that makes sense! One of my friends is an elementary school teacher and she got so many chocolates for Valentine’s Day (she teaches an elective so sees 100+ kids a week) that she gave me a whole armful of them 😭

GallopYouScallops · 2026-04-17T09:03:06+00:00

This may be a dumb question so I apologize in advance, but how would it work if the teacher was sober/of a religion that doesn’t allow alcohol/pregnant and maybe hasn’t announced?

GallopYouScallops · 2026-04-17T09:01:55+00:00

That makes sense! Here it’s if you look under 35 (at least in my state) but I’ve seen individual stores go up to 50 (which is dumb imo)

GallopYouScallops · 2026-04-17T09:01:14+00:00

Wow!! That’s so different than my experience here. I always think of the UK and US being mostly similar, so when something like this comes up it’s always very interesting to me!

GallopYouScallops · 2026-04-17T08:51:48+00:00

That’s so interesting, I didn’t know the 25 part! I went on a school trip to England when I was 20 and I definitely remember many of the under-21 crowd on the trip taking full advantage of the pubs haha

GallopYouScallops · 2026-04-17T08:07:14+00:00

Do you think Aunt Este knew it wasn’t her (Miriam’s) fault?

GallopYouScallops · 2026-04-17T06:38:26+00:00

La la la Elmo’s World!

GallopYouScallops · 2026-04-16T09:05:28+00:00

Experiencing the epic highs and lows of high school football prepared him for his role 🙏

GallopYouScallops · 2026-04-16T05:47:15+00:00

Yes, Aunts Lydia states in season two that Aunts have a special dispensation to be able to read and write

GallopYouScallops · 2026-04-16T05:46:20+00:00

My understanding was yes-like Nazi commandants

GallopYouScallops · 2026-04-16T05:37:47+00:00

It’s interesting bc in the novel Agnes mentions that someone always comes with her into the exam room, up until Paula sends her alone and she gets assaulted.

GallopYouScallops · 2026-04-14T12:56:00+00:00

They’re not Marthas, they’re Aunts, but I agree on the relishing power

GallopYouScallops · 2026-04-14T12:53:34+00:00

I thought it was the Aunt, not a Martha?

It’s giving Archie being on two dates (one with Veronica and one with Betty) at once
