feynites:in-winchester-we-trust:castiel-knight-of-hell:a-box-of-cats:tearsofthemushroom:fuckyeahregencycameltoe:OMG WHAT IS GOING ON HEREI CAN EXPLAIN THIS so basically there’s this type of bonnet called a ‘poke bonnet’ and they look like this:and in the regency there was this trend of the front part getting longer and longer until you couldn’t really see the wearer’s face… and people have been mean for all history and love to really deride and rip into the fashion trends of young women, so satirical cartoons like the one above popped up that were basically trying to say ‘hurr dburr stupid poke bonnets soon we won’t even be able to talk to women unless we stick our damn FACES INSIDE THEIR HATS!’and yeah so that’s why we have a drawing of what looks like women sucking men’s heads off floating around tumblrlet’s bring back poke bonnets so ppl will have to leave me aloneI think the most compelling part of this comic is the two women in the background who are having a conversation without their bonnets even touching but all the men feel they have the right to invade the women’s spaces as much as possible i know right? the woman in pink is clearly not having a good timeSatirical Regency Artist: Women, if these hats get any bigger, it’s going to be very difficult for men to mash our faces right up against yours!Regency Hatter: *maintains eye-contact as she sews a massive goddamn brim onto a new hat* Imagine that. -- source link
