Plague doctors were individuals in the Middle Ages who were given the task of tending to people infected with the plague. In most cases, they were either second rate or under-trained physicians, incapable of maintaining their own practice. Many were not doctors at all, but people of various other employments paid by towns to cater to the sick.
Plague doctors were employed in various methods whenever plague set in. The earliest documentation of these individuals being hired go as far back as the mid 500s AD. The plague doctor image that we as a general public are familiar with was not seen until the 1600s. It was then that the “traditional” plague doctor costume was created. The costume consisted of a cloak made of heavy fabric covered in wax to protect the doctor’s body, and a mask to keep out the sick air. The masks had a long cone shaped structure at the nose, to be filled with scents that would protect the doctor from the bad air.
Because of the nature of their work, plague doctors often became victims of the plague themselves, or were quarantined for the protection of the public.
Wow. I would personally love to play that role in that movie. I wouldn’t look quite the same though. What an awesome Halloween outfit that will be. I’m not going to read anything about the movie so that it will all be a magnificent maleficent surprise.
it is men like this, pictures like this, that make women hate each other and themselves. every person on this planet is beautiful in their own way no matter what size they are, what race/ethnicity, what sexuality, etc. stop producing self hate!
What an asshole… That woman is so beautiful.
That girl is glorious.
I would hold an umbrella over that guy if he were on fire in a rainstorm. I’d sing him some Adele.
That awkward moment when you’re told to go home for the second (third?) time in a week. And you work for an incredibly high-stress, high-performing consultancy group.
I’m packing up a few things to take home to work on for Evil Supply and idly wondering when the hell do I sleep.
If it wasn’t, now it will be. Victorian Jazzpunk will be everywhere by Christmas, you mark my words! Kingdom Brunel and the Cool Cats will have a number 1 single.
Though I think they’re using Jazz as a buzzword; as in the phrase ‘all that jazz’ and it’s peppy, non-conventional experimental associations. Or maybe it’s ‘Royal Straight Flash’ all over again. XD
If that’s the case, I want a repeat of this “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” number. I’m falling out of my chair.
I don’t know what any of this is but I want it to be real / happen
I bought a set of two. I have a very simple, very plain tea set in the off chance I ever have a party with tea (I don’t entertain much in my home). Now to find an appropriate kettle!
By Tuesday, I’m should have a laundry list of things I can say “we’ll be launching with the following” and nicely prepared comps of the coming website for your review.
I’ll post the schematic of how the website will work in case there are any nerds reading this interested in that sort of thing, but I’ll keep it as a page break to avoid boring the living shit out of the other 99.99% of you.
God and Devil willing, I should have logo sketches and/or a complete logo by then as well.
That’s one of the few things I really do miss about Chicago. Sure, there’s always the chance of getting shanked on most public transit, but it’s nice to have it…
Gentleman: I’m not feeling great and I have a big pile of things to do at home. I’m making today a half day, don’t try to talk me out of it.
Office: We’ll buy you lunch.
Gentleman: Damnit! My one weakness!
I seriously, seriously hope all the people who talk about politics in the US get out there and vote. If you’re eighteen+ you need to be voting this election. It doesn’t take much time. Get registered, and get ready to vote.
God help me I love living in a city with decent trains and buses, without a car. Friend of mine just paid a month of rent to fix her something-or-other in her engine without guarantee it won’t break again in a year.
That moment when someone says “I love your project” and all you want to do is pour them a cup of tea and listen to them talk about, well, anything. Not out of vanity but because you their work so much and, well, EMOTIONS!
This just happened. I have Halloween mugs, too, obviously. This is how tea would be served.
