anotheranonGoodies gathered from here and elsewhere:
Saya Espanola: Images and Information Concerning Late 16th C. Spanish Court Dress for Women - will look through when I have time; I'm especially curious about the colors as at least one person has suggested that the colors might be more flattering on me than the Elizabethan trends for russet and tawney (these just don't fly on olive skin. Yes, I've tried! :P)
Alton Brown, the Slashdot Interview - cooking for geeks, Mr. Wizard in the kitchen. Cool stuff.

gothic1920s - it's gothic, it's flappers, it's user pix and artwork and other pretty stylized things. Check it out :)
Reviews of the LOTR Costume Exhibit in Boston - mostly text as photos aren't allowed, but plenty of detail can be found if you wade through long enough. I'm not a huge LOTR fan, but you never know when you might need an elfin ballgown, you know?

Re: Spanish Costume
Date: 2004-08-30 07:47 pm (UTC)Yep, a significant lack of German representation (the only German painting is a portrait of an English woman :P ). Flemish, Dutch and Italian subjects form the majority in this particular volume.
Re: Spanish Costume
Date: 2004-08-31 04:58 am (UTC)I searched through three bookstores and the Central Library here in Auckland to find absolutely no pre Picasso books on Spanish art... even the museum books had a severe lack of the stuff...
There were two books on Cranach and a few on Holbein in the library. Nice book on Sofonisba Anguissola, including self portraits from her last years.
Luckily the Fine Arts libarary of Auckland University has a lovely collection of many 'obscure' art interests...
