So, as we enter 2016, Thanks go out to Jessica, Dar- lene, Dee, Lynn, Linda, , Sheila, Jennifer, and Desiree for all they did serving the group in 2015. Thanks also must go to all the ladies who pitched in and helped out whenever it was needed. It sure seemed to me that any time help was re- quested, someone’s hand went right up. The fact is, I’m too darn lazy to go back through all my notes and all the newsletters to see just who did what, so please know that all each of you did was appreciated by many more than just me. 2016 will bring some changes. Our official GNO’s will move to Saturday’s with dinner begin- ning around 4:00 to 4:30 at one of several nearby restaurants. Social hour begins by 6:00, and the official business meeting at 7:30. As always, we’ll keep that as short as possible before turning it over to our program or speaker. We’ll hope to finish up around 9-ish so girls who wish to can venture out to a local attraction or club. Those who don’t of course stay around the meeting room and continue to chat and enjoy each other’s company.

In October, Dee and Jessica surveyed some other local hotels and determined we’re still getting the best deal overall at the Maingate.

Another thought is to cancel one or two of the summer meetings, such as the one following SCC and opt for a simple dinner or outing instead since . Our board will be meeting before the business meeting and auction to share some ideas, so please join us. Probably around 6:30-ish I write this to let you all know that while we’re very cautious and prudent about our expenses, we aren’t covering our monthly nut. Sooooo, if you know of any opportunities, or have a rich aunt about to kick the bucket, maybe you can talk her into remembering us in her will? Annual Auction, January 9th, A Very Special Cause This Time Please don’t forget that January 9th is our Annual Auction. It’s a great time to empty your closet of those things that you no longer wear, are the wrong size, or just weren’t as cute on you as you thought they’d be. Also a good time to move along those Christmas gifts that weren’t exactly “you.” By now, most of you are aware of the loss of our sister Lexi Joseph who died unexpectedly of a heart attack while on a family vacation. Lexi was only 39 and left behind her wonderful wife La- vonne and three young daughters. 100% of the money raised at the auction will go to Lavonne, so let’s make this one our best ever as the goal is to help one of our own this time. 3 4 5 Maingate Lakeside Resort MEETING FEES :- $12.00 7769, W.

Running Head: The Evolution of Brassiere in the 20th Century 1 The Evolution of Brassiere in the 20th Century Jolene Khor Western Michigan University The Evolution of Brassiere in the 20th Century 2 Abstract It is common knowledge that a brassiere, more widely known as a bra, is an important if not a vital part of a modern woman’s wardrobe today. In the 21st century, a brassiere is no more worn for function as it is for fashion. In order to understand the evolution of function to fashion of a brassiere, it is necessary to account for its historical journey from the beginning to where it is today. This thesis paper, titled The Evolution of Brassiere in the 20th Century will explore the history of brassiere in the last 100 years. While the paper will briefly discuss the pre-birth of the brassiere during Minoan times, French Revolution and early feminist movements, it will largely focus on historical accounts after the 1900s.

She has published several articles in DRESS and elsewhere. She is co-author with Colleen Gau of Uplift: the Bra in America (Penn, 2002), and with Jean Parsons of 20th-Century Dress in the United States (Fairchild, 2007). Using government regulations, trade journals, consumer advertising, and dated examples of bras and girdles in museum collections, the writer traces the technical and stylistic innovations made by American bra and girdle manufacturers from 1935 through 1950. During the periods 1935–1941 and 1947–1950, innovations centered on creating appealing products. Lastex and nylon helped make foundation garments lighter weight and easier to care for, while shaping the figure. When critical components became scarce or unavailable during 1942–1946, producers developed creative ways to make garments as comfortable as possible within allowable quantities of elastic and even found substitutes for metal fastenings.

  • Friends of the Museums Singapore January / February 2018 Art History
    Friends of the Museums Singapore January / February 2018 art history culture people President's Letter Dear Friends, Happy New Year! This year, FOM celebrates its 40th birthday. It is also the 10th anniversary of PASSAGE magazine. The new council is gearing up to celebrate these twin anniversaries with exciting programmes and limited-edition merchandise. So do check our website, Facebook and newsletters regularly for updates. Since its creation 40 years ago, FOM has grown from strength to strength. From providing guiding services to one museum in 1980, its docents now guide in nine museums, art and heritage institutions. And from just 100 members in 1978, its membership reached 1,500 last year. The society has evolved over the years to meet the changing needs of our members with new programmes such as photography workshops, cooking classes and foodie groups. It has been no mean feat for an entirely volunteer-run society to have continued to serve the museum community in Singapore and its own members with passion and enthusiasm over such a long span of time. FOM could not have done all this without the selfless contributions of time and energy of our volunteers, FOM’s heart and soul. PASSAGE itself has also evolved. The magazine started life as a no-frills newsletter printed on cyclostyled paper with content meant solely for the FOM community. In September 2008, the first full-colour issue of PASSAGE was officially launched, replacing the newsletter. Thanks to Andra Leo, the managing editor of PASSAGE, and her editorial team, we now have a beautiful magazine with articles that appeal to the wider community.
