I haven’t seen this movie and I don’t plan to because from what I’ve heard it’s absolutely horrid, but SWEET JESUS LOOK AT THIS DRESS. Eiko, why did you have to go?

Bringing this back for Eiko.

Eiko shoulda won for being Eiko.

As a costumer myself, it’s impossible to look at this and not understand the sheer time that the complexity and detail would have required. And true, the designer themselves don’t necessarily assemble their designs, but they are involved in every aspect of their pieces, including picking out and approving the very trims and embroidery designs that are applied on gowns like these. Eiko most definitely deserved a win.

“some historians think that michelangelo was drawing god in a human brain. very few people knew what one looked like at the time; but michelangelo had dissected cadavers and would have known. it even has the hint of a brain stem. if true this would have been a great “fuck you” to the pope whom he was not friendly with but also would have meant god was in a human brain, or created by man.”

Interesting.

also michelangelo painted a baby angel flipping off the pope

the blond one, you see his right hand? that’s called the fig and it’s an old world european gesture for ‘fuck you” because apparently Pope Juluis II was a total raging asshole and everyone hated him

but nobody ever noticed this little fucker because the ceiling was so high

and then thirty years later they called michelangelo back to paint the wall behind the altar and he wasted no time in painting the gates of hell behind the pope’s chair

what a badass

It amuses me to this day how much Michelangelo hated his job

He was like the Renaissance Robert Pattinson
