    Meghan and Harry That They Would Have to Accept What Was on Offer and Not Demand What Was Not

    Contents Title Page Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6 Chapter 7 Chapter 8 Chapter 9 Chapter 10 Chapter 11 Chapter 12 Photo Section Copyright CHAPTER 1 On May 19th 2018, when Meghan Markle stepped out of the antique Rolls Royce conveying her and her mother Doria Ragland from the former Astor stately home Cliveden to St. George’s Chapel, Windsor, where she was due to be married at 12 noon, she was a veritable vision of loveliness. At that moment, one of the biggest names of the age was born. As the actress ascended the steps of St. George’s Chapel, its interior and exterior gorgeously decorated in the most lavish and tasteful spring flowers, she was a picture of demure and fetching modesty, stylish elegance, transparent joyousness, and radiant beauty. The simplicity of her white silk wedding dress, designed by Clare Waight Keller of Givenchy, with its bateau neckline, three-quarter length sleeves, and stark, unadorned but stunningly simple bodice and skirt, coupled with the extravagant veil, five metres long and three metres wide, heavily embroidered with two of her favourite flowers (wintersweet and California poppy, as well as the fifty three native flowers of the various Commonwealth countries, and symbolic crops of wheat, and a piece of the blue dress that the bride had worn on her first date with the groom), gave out a powerful message. All bridal gowns make statements. Diana, Princess of Wales, according to her friend Carolyn Pride, used hers to announce to the world, ‘Here I am.

  • GLOVES, the LONG and SHORT of IT by Patti Jones

    GLOVES, the LONG and SHORT of IT by Patti Jones

    GLOVES, THE LONG AND SHORT OF IT By Patti Jones I have always been fascinated by our Model A Era gloves. I find them to be sexy, but important in completing an outfit for fashion judging. In the following pages, I have attempted to show the reader the many styles, fabrics, and leathers that were used and the beautiful art deco designs they inspired. Finding gloves is easy, the hard part is finding ones that fit. Leather gloves are the hardest to find that fit. When being judged, the judges will ask you to wear one glove, and carry the other. This is so they can judge the fit of the glove on the entrant. I know of no easy way of getting leather gloves to fit, other than, putting plenty of talcum powder on and start working your fingers to the end of the glove. Silk gloves can be washed and then immediately put on so that they can dry on your hands and thus, stretch them to fit. I have some plastic glove dryers that help stretch the glove after being washed, but it’s easier to wear them. Example of glove stretchers at right. To measure your hand for your glove size, hold out your hand with fingers touching and the thumb aside. With a tape measure, measure your hand all around, but not tight. The number of inches shown on the tape measure is your correct glove size. Gloves.doc - 1 - November 2009 When looking for gloves, make sure they have the 3 gores on the back of the hand as seen in the examples of this article.
  • Transcending the Traditional: Fashion As Performance Jennifer Richards

    Transcending the Traditional: Fashion As Performance Jennifer Richards

    Transcending the Traditional: Fashion as Performance Jennifer Richards Abstract From Fashion’s inception, there has been an intrinsic link between clothing, performance and the body. This dialogue has been evident throughout the last century and into the present. This paper will examine contemporary examples of the pose through fashion shows, fashion displays and fashion performances. It will discuss the work of Daphne Guinness and Viktor and Rolf, and how their work seeks to reflect the historical associations of the pose but updates this mode within the 21st century fashion climate. It will also consider Olivier Saillard’s work which examines the use of the pose with the contemporary fashion industry. His trilogy of work with the actress Tilda Swinton examines the history of couture, its process and creation, and the viewer’s relationship within the body and garment. These examples seek to break the barriers of the traditional modes of the pose within the fashion context. They ask questions as to our own relationship with clothing and the body, imbuing meaning and symbolism into their work. This paper will argue that these new modes help to raise the profile of the pose as performance, raising their status to work in part as a spiritual medium, evoking emotional responses in our own readings of the work. Key Words Performance, pose, body, meaning, symbolism Introduction In recent years, there has been an increasing number of collaborations between the Visual Arts and the world of Fashion. Major fashion houses have sought out collaborations with performance-based artists such as Marina Abromovich (co-art directing Givenchy’s shows) Yeezy & Vanessa Beecroft.

  • Un Hommage À Thomas Pynchon's Rainbow

    Un Hommage À Thomas Pynchon's Rainbow

    Un Hommage à Thomas Pynchon’s Rainbow Peter Bamfield Editions Eclipse, 2012 One of the great novels of the 20th century is Thomas Pynchon’s Gravity’s Rainbow. For those interested in the use of color as a code in literature it is a positive goldmine. Consequently, many erudite essays have been written about this aspect of the work. My activity in this area has involved an examination and compilation of the phrases in which these color codes appear. Using this database I have constructed a reading of the novel based on these phrases. In carrying out this process I set myself the following constraints; . Each phrase abstracted from the novel must contain at least one color term. The words in each phrase must be in the order used by Pynchon. The phrases subsequently used to construct sentences to be in the order in which they occur in the novel. The only freedom to be in the selection of appropriate punctuation. Arguably, the four parts of the novel can be divided into a total of eighty-one episodes. I have followed this convention and hence produced eighty-one sentences covering the four parts. All the words used in this Hommage are Thomas Pynchon’s. Editions Eclipse: http://english.utah.edu/eclipse Part 1 Beyond the Zero Episode 1 With blue shadows, cockades the color of lead, globular lights painted a dark green, velvet black surfaces. At each brown floor, a tartan of orange, rust and scarlet. Giant bananas cluster, radiant yellow, humid green. A short vertical white line begins to vanish in red daybreak.

  • THE GREATER INCLINATION by Edith Wharton

    THE GREATER INCLINATION by Edith Wharton

    THE GREATER INCLINATION By Edith Wharton THE MUSE'S TRAGEDY Danyers afterwards liked to fancy that he had recognized Mrs. Anerton at once; but that, of course, was absurd, since he had seen no portrait of her—she affected a strict anonymity, refusing even her photograph to the most privileged—and from Mrs. Memorall, whom he revered and cultivated as her friend, he had extracted but the one impressionist phrase: "Oh, well, she's like one of those old prints where the lines have the value of color." He was almost certain, at all events, that he had been thinking of Mrs. Anerton as he sat over his breakfast in the empty hotel restaurant, and that, looking up on the approach of the lady who seated herself at the table near the window, he had said to himself, "That might be she." Ever since his Harvard days—he was still young enough to think of them as immensely remote—Danyers had dreamed of Mrs. Anerton, the Silvia of Vincent Rendle's immortal sonnet-cycle, the Mrs. A. of the Life and Letters. Her name was enshrined in some of the noblest English verse of the nineteenth century—and of all past or future centuries, as Danyers, from the stand-point of a maturer judgment, still believed. The first reading of certain poems—of the Antinous, the Pia Tolomei, the Sonnets to Silvia,—had been epochs in Danyers's growth, and the verse seemed to gain in mellowness, in amplitude, in meaning as one brought to its interpretation more experience of life, a finer emotional sense.
