Vaingirls #566-570

#566 - Original: Falling in Love comics. Is she a bitch or a benefactor? Is "she" a wimp or a woman?
#567 - Original: Girls in Love comics. Now if they can just read each other's thoughts!
#568 - Original: Betty & Veronica Comics. I went through this with my own kids. No matter how hard my wife and I tried to be fair, one or the other was always saying that we liked the other one or favored the other one more.
#569 - Original: The Englishwoman's Domestic Magazine, 1869. Talk about getting immersed in a role!
#570 - Original: The Phantom Stranger comics. Things should get interesting!

Two questions --

Where did you find the Englishwoman's Domestic Magazine?

Am I the only person who thinks the T-Gurl mascot looks like Kirstie Alley?

All good, Jezzi, but I think I like #567 and #568 best. The going-full-time-to-look-after-a-child theme is one that appeals to me (I played with it in my "The Tranny Stepmother"), but the Victorian fashions, not so much.

The Englishwoman's Domestic Magazine and other 18th and 19th century fashion magazine illustrations can be found at Fashion Era:

Andi, I LOVE the Victorian fashions. I would love to wear some of them for a photo shoot. However, when I remember that for 19th century women these were not costumes but their everyday clothes (at least for the well off), NO WAY! I have often thought that in petticoat punishment stories, dressing the punishee - soon to be punishshee - in Victorian fashions would be so much more effective than dressing him in modern clothes. He couldn't run away as he could never blend in as a girl and he could never get out of the clothes without help. They would be so restrictive that he would be forced to be feminine just by the clothes. ( see Vaingirls #89 & 90)

I know what you mean Jezzi, though it's Edwardian fashions that I prefer. The sort of thing that Madeleine Carroll and Mary Astor wore in the 1937 Prisoner Of Zenda.
