Topless dueling?
I know it’s a long text but it’s worth the read!
“The most intriguing duel fought between women, and the sole one that featured exposed breasts, took place in August 1892 in Verduz, the capitol of Liechtenstein, between Princess Pauline Metternich and the Countess Kielmannsegg. It has gone down in history as the first “emancipated duel” because all parties involved, including the principals and their seconds were female… Before the proceedings began, the baroness pointed out that many insignificant injuries in duels often became septic due to strips of clothing being driven into the wound by the point of a sword. To counter this danger she prudently suggested that both parties should fight stripped of any garments above the waist. Certainly, Baroness Lubinska was ahead of her time, taking an even more radical take on the (at the time) widely dismissed theories of British surgeon Joseph Lister, who in 1870 revolutionized surgical procedures with the introduction of antiseptic.
With the precautions Baroness Lubinska recommended, the topless women duelists were less likely to suffer from an infection; indeed, it was a smart idea to fight semiclad. Given the practicality of the baroness’ suggestion and the “emancipated” nature of the duel, it was agreed that the women would disrobe—after all, there would be no men present to ogle them. For the women, the decision to unbutton the tops of their dresses was not sexual; it was simply a way of preventing a duel of first blood from becoming a duel to the death.
…
It is humorous that most recounts of this historic event fail to mention two important things: the winner of the duel (Princess Metternich) and the reason why the women came to arms in the first place—they disagreed over the floral arrangements for an upcoming musical exhibition.”
^ best part of the entire article.

words fail me at describing how perfect everything about this post is.
This is what happens next time bitches try and mess with my floral arrangements.
I’m curious as to the selections of said floral arrangements…
This is the best thing I’ve ever read ever.
This is so unbelievably relevant to my interests.
p.s. I dislike your floral arrangements DUEL TO THE DEATH

My friend turned to me at the premier at whispered “Mulan?” and I was was like “YUP, THAT’S WHAT I THOUGHT TOO.” Glad to see we weren’t alone!

Kool-Aid Man Crashes Into The Shining
His delivery of “Oh Yeah!” is exactly like Jack Nicholson’s “Here’s Johnny.”
It almost makes more sense this way actually.
The Shining is just about the only scary movie that I actually enjoy, by the way. It scares the bejesus out of me, but it’s so damn compelling.
Today’s shirt from Ript Apparel. If you like it, you’ve got until Midnight CST to purchase one for 10 bucks.
Pretty damn awesome. Daleks would probably be so much less ill tempered if their insides were full of beer instead of megalomaniacal aliens that bear a passing resemblance to Krang from the ninja turtles.
