The History of Banning High Heels

Submitted by on

I just have to share this video titled The History of Banning High Heels by fashion historian Nicole Rudolph about all the different reasons that society tried to ban high heels from the 1850's to the 1920's. The reasons, from our point of view, are so silly that they are hilarious.

Spoiler alert: Back then a high heel was defined as anything higher than about 1.5 inches!

Love Cocktail Dresses

Submitted by on

To me they are a universal fit any situation dress. Whether one is going to that Governor's Ball (I'll never get invited) or going to the Flea Market, there is a cocktail dress that will fit the occasion. For you authors it's easy for your heroine to be the center of attention or eye candy if she is wearing a cocktail dress. There are enough styles and designs one will work no matter where your leading lady is going or what she is doing. Exceptions of course is trekking through the jungle, killing terrorist in their desert camp, horse back riding, kind of situations.

Missing?????

Submitted by on

Over the weekend I was horrified to find that Susan Brown's Football Girl 1&2 and Changes are no longer listed on Amazon\Kindle. (UK)

While this isn't an issue for me as I have those books, I was looking for a friend, on both their KINDLE device, smartphone kindle app and Laptop

Is Susan alright?

I ask only as last time this happened to me was when "The Last of the Fey" dropped from Amazon\Kindle lists, while Denise's estate was being taken care of.

Hopefully Class Action Lawsuit

Submitted by on

Been dealing with Oklahoma Vital Records for a month now for a correction on my birth certificate. Years back Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled a name change can't be denied if it isn't for nefarious reasons such as to escape debt, lawsuits, etc. It came about because some of the lower courts were denying a name change for various reasons. Thus ask for a name change in court, submit to Oklahoma Vital Records the old and new name and it's amended on the birth certificate. A new one will be mailed out if the proper fees and forms were filled out.

Character is Bar tender (MC i think), at a Variety Bar, NightClub or a club like Tanya Allan's "Candy Cane Club"

Older Gentleman regular customer of the Character as he likes the ever expanding range of cocktails can make, and if i remember correctly that character can make for the mood of the customer

Two things get reviled later the Older Gentleman is real owner of venue, and father of its operator, and the character reads a board sheet that has a section on cocktails within the entertainment section in the weekend editions.

Female Voice

Submitted by on

In many stories on BCTS I read where the author assigns a "female voice" to his or her actress. I have made my own opinion known many times down through the years it's the rise and fall of pitch differentiates between a male and female voice. Several female actresses had a deep voice such as Paula Prentiss, Lauren Bacall, Susan Plushett, to name just a few. I doubt very few who had their back to them, and heard any of these women speak in a crowd, would turn to see who is talking think they are looking at a male.

What? Why?

Submitted by on

So we are just getting the horrific details about another school shooting, this one in an elementary school in Ulvade, Texas.

So far, 14 elementary students and 1 teacher are confirmed dead, but the suggestion is that count may increase.

The shooter, an 18 yr old high school student that attended Ulvade High School is also dead, apparently shot by law enforcement.

First, just to shut some people up, THIS is why we have police.

Recapcha

Submitted by on

So, I use the Brave browser when I only want to check for what's new on BC in a quicker fashion (there is a lot higher lag when one is logged in unfortunately) which seems to do a pretty good job of blocking tracking by websites.

Now I am getting this whole recapcha thing which I dislike since I am providing a free service to google to train their AI in image recognition. It also defeats the purpose of my desire to check quickly.

Is BC being that inundated with bots that this is really necessary?
