This was part of a giant diorama in Wisconsin’s House on the Rock. Kudos for including a female knight, but… were the funnels really necessary?
It is my understanding that the House on the Rock has many… oddities.
But nowhere in their promotional materials did they mention that they the most terrifying and baffling boobplate ever designed. Ordinarily I’d wonder why the male knight is okay, and the female knight fallen.
Squirrel armor is finished. This is just the companion prop for my future Warrior Squirrel Girl cosplay. I’m pretty happy with it. Materials are worbla and craft foam. Hand painted by me as well.
A colouring book of women who participated in the US Civil War I bought at Gettysburg, PA when I visited ages ago. As you can see the women’s uniforms looked like the men’s with the optional addition of a skirt, and Cpt. Tompkins wore her jacket and sash over her dress.
I wanted to add some of these images to this post as well, because the OP is just plain wrong.
Albert Cashier was a trans MAN, not a woman. Please don’t erase his existence by claiming he was a woman, not a trans man. He lived his whole life before and after the war as Albert. He was buried with honors as Albert.
I wasn’t sure about high heels as we can’t see them, but these boots usually don’t come with flat soles 😛
Also wasn’t sure of the “looks nothing like the male version”, because both are similarly skimpy, but there’s a world’s difference between the two characters in levels of sexualisation and objectification.
What a beautiful example of why equal levels of nudity are not yet equal levels of sexualization. Bolding mine.
