Tor has a large pair of gardening scissors(?) on his hip? The trimmer things.

Attila’s got the oven mitts

Bruiser’s leather shoulder pads are knitted, Killer’s got scissors all over him plus a ton of pins and needles on his shoulder pads

This will disproportionately affect Black people and people of colour. In this broadcast they also all but explicitly encouraged people to call the cops on their neighbours breaking protocol. DO NOT CALL THE COPS ON YOUR BLACK NEIGHBOURS.

Estatuas cave in northern Spain was a hive of activity 105,000 years ago. Artifacts show its Neanderthal inhabitants hafted stone tools, butchered red deer, and may have made fires. They also shed, bled, and excreted subtler clues onto the cave floor: their own DNA. “You can imagine them sitting in the cave making tools, butchering animals. Maybe they cut themselves or their babies pooped,” says population geneticist Benjamin Vernot, a postdoc at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology (MPI-EVA), whose perspective may have been colored by his own baby’s cries during a Zoom call. “All that DNA accumulates in the dirt floors.”

Learning to sing

I noticed my Mori Kei guide for boys got a lot of recognition.

So I decided to do the same thing for girls!

Feminine Mori Kei is very similar to masculine Mori Kei, but it’s still different. As I covered the history in that last post, I decided to just skip to the inspiration.

Let’s break down what we see here.

-Long dresses and skirts

-Loose clothing fits

-Patterns that don’t necessarily match

-Layering

-Lacey elements

-Crocheted elements

-Knitted elements

-Satchel bags

-Natural fabrics, linen, and cotton, being prevalent

-If a lot of layering isn’t used and is more minimalistic, it has a more vintage feel

-Vintage feels throughout the entire spectrum of feminine Mori Kei clothing

-Natural colours

-Use of little makeup

-Hair not elaborately styled

-Shoes range from loose canvas sneakers to tall boots

This communicates an overall feeling of a natural, airy spirit. So how do we achieve this, friends?

-Look for long sundresses you can layer over short sleeve or long sleeve blouses

-Shop for natural colours

-Find clothes thrifting

-Choose appropriate patterns such as gingham

-Layer. Layer a skirt over a skirt, a dress over a skirt, a skirt over a dress, leggings under a skirt under a dress… The possibilities are endless. Have fun with it!

-Look for vintage elements, like lace trim on long skirts.

-Choose appropriate fabrics, like linen, cotton, bamboo, etc.

-Wear a little makeup if you must, like blusher, a tad bit of mascara.

-Mismatch and match to your heart’s desire

-Look for boots and loose canvas shoes, and other such footwear options.

I also wanted to point out a few Mori Kei music artists:

-paniyolo

-PoPoyans

Important!!

And I'd like to add: just because you're part of that community yourself and don't find something hurtful, it does not give you the right to disrespect and invalidate the feelings, boundaries and concerns of others.
