    I can start to believe in a centuries-long cycle when men start wearing capes in parties again.

      Cloaks and capes need brought back into general fashion, dammit. And the normalization of kilts.

      We need more “swoosh”-y clothing. It’s one of the best parts of certain skirts and dresses, and needs to be set free so all can enjoy.

        I would kill for kilts to be normalized. And dresses for men in general. What’s it gonna take for dresses to be manly, god damnit?

              I admire Asimov, read a bit of I, Robot to get a feel for his three laws of robots and his short story The Last Question was fantastic

            I like it, it’s not getting great reviews though. It is the kind of thing that makes you think, Maybe I should have read the book first? I think there are 11 books, including prequels that came later.

            It’s visually stunning and I like the story. It’s surprisingly gender balanced for a book written in the 40s.

            It’s hard to find a good pick of the dress, but this is the best I could do. It’s a Roman style breast plate with an empire (ha ha) waist full length dress, all in cobalt blue.
