Because this one needs to be laughed at by the rest of the world.

A lady posted this in one of the LJ costuming communities. I just must share because, although 18th c is not my expertise, I know the difference between the early 1700's and a bloody 1870's ~ early 1880's ball gown! I can also tell the difference between "mens" clothing and "womens" clothing. (Okay, so I dress up in Men's 18th c clothing one a year but that's because I like my pirate outfit!)

All I can say is click here and have fun. May I suggest not drinking anything while reading this webpage?

*blink*

What is that? Is that top picture *really* supposed to be "early 1700's?"

*sheesh*

It reads like a Victorian something-or-other .....

If you click around on the various parts of the webpage, it gets even worse. It was written by three college students back in 2002~ish it looks like. Why their teacher allowed them to put this up is beyond me. I know I didn't know a heck of a lot back then (graduate in '01), but even then I knew the difference between Dr. Quinn and Marie Antoinette's ideas of fashion!

nods.

I forget whether it was on h-cost or SCA-gerb, but there was a discussion about a Candy Company's ad ... seems like it was Queen Anne Choclatiers (or some such), but the paintings that was used to illustrate HRM? QE1 .......

I can't believe that is for real. The amount of misinformation is just staggering... unbelievable! Proof you shouldn't believe everything you read online I guess. :P
