  1. F*ck me, you girls can be funny sometime!

    You are right, that sh*t just doesn’t add up.

    I was cracking up so hard over this post, my wife in the next room (who is constantly giving me sh*t for my love affair with this blog. She just doesn’t get what it is like to love period costume) heard me, and asked what was up. I replied that I was “Just busy being amused over a French-ish Ikea add with apples, poncy men, and more than a few unfortunate bigginses”, and she didn’t know what to think.

  3. I would say crayfish or prawns too. Fab post, I wee’d a bit..
    As for ‘why is the woman asleep in bed?’ ASLEEP? Are you mad, she was being serviced by the footman, [or possibly the kitchenmaid, couldn’t tell] and what time are you supposed to do that then? Hmmm?
    Keep ’em coming missus, I need more of this.

      1. It’s a classic Dutch School painting. However, the way they show the painting being done in the video is not true to the technique of the time at all.

  5. Loved it. Especially the unfortunate biginesses and poncy men. The blond wig one has my vote for the poncy man that I…
