Geraldine Anne Ferraro (August 26, 1935 – March 26, 2011) was an American attorney, a Democratic Party politician and a former member of the United States House of Representatives. She was the first female Vice Presidential candidate representing a major American political party. Ferraro grew up in New York and became a teacher and lawyer. She joined the Queens County District Attorney’s Office in 1974, where she headed the new Special Victims Bureau that dealt with sex crimes, child abuse, and domestic violence. She was elected to Congress in 1978, where she rose rapidly in the party hierarchy while focusing on legislation to bring equity for women in the areas of wages, pensions, and retirement plans. In 1984, former Vice President and presidential candidate Walter Mondale selected Ferraro to be his running mate in the upcoming election. In doing so she became the only Italian American to be a major-party national nominee in addition to being the first woman. But in the general election, Mondale and Ferraro were defeated. She served as a United States Ambassador to the United Nations Commission on Human Rights from 1993 until 1996 in the presidential administration of Bill Clinton. She also continued her career as a journalist, author, and businesswoman, and served in the 2008 presidential campaign of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton.

I love this tumblr, so sad they don’t update much anymore.  Gotta keep a link to it somewhere though, and that is what I did start this tumblr for! 

A slideshow entitled “What Fashion’s ‘Ethnic’ Prints Are Really Called”, I thought the answer was going to be “racist” but apparently, there are names for a lot of these prints.  So the question is, why don’t we use the real names of the prints? (hint: it is similar to my first answer) (via Refinery29)

Such a cool concept and awesome execution.  It says a lot about social constructs of fashion, clothing, and gender.  Also, how divergent and convergent fashion can be.(via sincerely hana)

Loving the designs Tom Veiga created in partnership with Billabong, it’s like an updated retr-80s surfer look.  Does that even make any sense? (via Visuall)

I was doing this YEARS before the fashion industry took hold of it.  Therefore, I crown myself a bona fide trendsetter

Dress (“robe à la française”)

c. 1760-England

Material: Yellow silk taffeta (lustring), matching trim; double-flounced pagoda sleeves; matching petticoat.

A typical 18th century women’s dress, “robe à la française”. The color has a golden shine, resonating with the glossy brilliance of the crisp silk.
In early Christian culture, yellow was seen as the color of heretics, and held in contempt until medieval times. In China, yellow was the color of the Emperor, a color so noble that commoners were forbidden its use. The 18th century vogue for “chinoiserie” amongst Europeans resulted in new interest in yellow, leading it to become a fashionable color.
As shown on this dress, a fichu (triangular shawl) was draped over the shoulders, loosely covering the open area, and was inserted under the stomacher. This style is similar to the fashion that appears in the painting, “Madame d’Epinay”, by Jean-Etienne Liotard ([1702–1789]1769, Musees d’art et d’histoire de Geneve).
