all i wanted was to write some smut and now i have to learn how money laundering in the fine art world works

from the reblogs! ty! i never did get further with this so maybe I will now

#oh I know this!!! #may i suggest the doccumentary #who the fuck is jackson pollack #it covers a few of the really good forgers and the shady nature or provenance #its a nice look into how one lies about the value of paintings

My taste in romance has less to do with how romantic the relationship actually is (though that is a bonus) and more to do with how interesting I find the dynamic between the couple. Which is why fluffy vanilla romance usually bores the hell out of me. I want to see how these characters dramatically affect each other and fundamentally change each other and their individual understandings of the world!!! I want to see a beautiful tie-in between the romance and the themes + messages of the story and how it all builds to a climax!!!

Wait, wait…. Is that seriously it? How their clothes go?

Wear blanket. Conquer world.

That last one looks dope

Squares and rectangles: easy to weave!! No cutting means no hemming.

And easy to construct, you don’t have to have complicated seaming and patterning to turn fabric into clothing!

This sort of clothing solution wasn’t just for the Mediterranean, or northern Africa, either. Behold the Belted Plaid:

Has anyone already reblogged this with saris? It’s cool how many cultures have similarities like this hidden in plain sight.

Since we are here might as well share the dhoti and the lungi

It’s only men in the photos but really anyone can wear them. I am wearing a lungi right now.

I also know Thailand and Sri Lanka have their versions of a lungi as well.
