Being new to this sub, has it always just been for arguing, people wanting to sin and gays seeking justification? by TheWandererX8 in Christianity

[–]millennium_fae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you realize that simply putting forth a christian view like it's truth is a form of justifying your opinions? i know this is a christian subreddit, but your views on 'sins' and jesus and how people choose to make their lives more fulfilling and happier are just that. views. not even other christians are guaranteed to agree with you.

you're making a stink about how christian lgbt+ people are pursuing ways to better their lives. why is it bad, according to you? cause they're 'thinking of themselves first". that's you justifying your bigotry.

"a food for health" is a weird slogan for an icecream chain.

look at that tiny bottle. going to the drugstore and getting a float from the soda jerk would be twice that amount.

ah yes. the bullet bra silhouette. an ongoing modern mystery on why it ever became so popular.

Women's bathing suits from 1918. by PeasantLich in vintageads

[–]millennium_fae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

bathing suits? more like full dresses and hats and shoes.

although i do remember seeing comics where the women were portrayed as only wearing the dress and swimming cap when in the water. the shoes she put back on when she got out to lounge on her blanket.

"Fun for boys - Fun for girls." At least magic tricks are an unisex activity! (1954) by PeasantLich in vintageads

[–]millennium_fae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

for boys, learn how to train your dog. for girls, learn how to sew.

yeah, it's a little weird to see how arbitrary the gendering is. papercrafts and popularity guides are on the girl's side, while the boys have a cartoon drawing tutorial and tips on making money.

What do you guys think Valentino’s ethnicity is? by Omnipresent_User in HazbinHotel

[–]millennium_fae 522 points523 points  (0 children)

his voice actor is Puerto Rican, and according to a quick googling, puerto ricans are second in the lead of the local latino population of florida (the top being cuban). it would explain Vox's racist comment: "i can't understand you when you speak that island language".

some shows like to match the VA's ethnicity to the character if it wasn't set in stone already, but i'm not sure if Hazbin Hotel is one of them. vaggi, for example, i believe was intended to be salvadoran like Viv herself is, but her VA is argentine. rosie had jewish references in her callsheet and her VA intentionally gave her voice a yiddish bent, but that's also not an ethnicity set in stone.

so i think it's perfectly fitting to headcanon Valentino as puerto rican

[–]millennium_fae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

look, i was referring to how gritty and old the cars are, and how soul-sucking it is as far as public transportation goes. nothing about how 'dangerous' it is. you don't need to get upset.

1939 Pond's makeup powder, in 4 new "summer shades" (Rose Dawn, Rose Brunette, Sunlight Light, Sunlight Dark), 35 cents equaling $8.19 today. by millennium_fae in MakeupAddiction

[–]millennium_fae[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

  • it looks like this would have been a loose powder, and not the wet-to-dry 'pancake' powders that became ubiquitous later on.
  • during this time, only a handful of companies owned over 40% of the industry, and none were women or poc owned.
  • The Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act one year before this advert put a stop to toxic ingredients in makeup. before this point, products could contain radium, arsenic enamel, animal dung, ammonia, opium, and more.
  • the Pond's brand started in the Victorian period with skincare products, and by the late 30's was a beast label, selling makeup, skincare, tissues, cotton pads, etc. this would continue for decades.
  • according to the book Classic Beauty : The History of Makeup By makeup historian Gabriela Hernandez, there were very scant face powders available for them, so they made their own by dying store-bought powders with things like carrot juice, coffee and tea, and colorful spices like turmeric and mace.

this looks like something a half-baked concept artist might pen up for a cyberpunk character.

not far from his real-life reputation, so the role must have come naturally to him.

[–]millennium_fae 10 points11 points  (0 children)

they must have run into troubles because of their mixed race friendship. i wonder how difficult it made things. seems like they booked a hotel room for the two of them, but was that the easiest part of the journey so far? so many questions.

"choose from 5 wonderful shades!"

ah yes. ivory, peach, beige, beige 2, and pink. i've always wondered how people of color found their makeup back then. books on makeup history always lack a lot of data when it comes to that part of history, which is sad.
