“We went to Kineshma, that’s in Ivanovo region, to visit his parents. I went as a heroine and I never expected someone to welcome me, a front-line girl, like that. We’ve gone through so much, we’ve saved lives, lifes of mothers, wives. And then… I heard accusations, I was bad-mouthed. Before that I’ve only ever been “dear sister”… We had tea and my husband’s mother took him aside and started crying: “Who did you marry? A front-line girl… You have two younger sisters. Who’s going to marry them now?” When I think back to that moment I feel tears welling up. Imagine: I had a record, I loved it a lot. There was a song, it said: you have the right to wear the best shoes. That was about a front-line girl. I had it playing, and [his?] elder sister came up and broke it apart, saying: you have no rights. They destroyed all my photos from the war… We, front-line girls, went through so much during hte war… and then we had another war. Another terrible war. The men left us, they didn’t cover our backs. Not like at the front.” from С.Алексеевич “У войны не женское лицо”
In Soviet Union women participating in WWII were erased from history, remaining as the occasional anecdote of a female sniper or simply as medical staff or, at best, radio specialists. The word “front-line girl” (frontovichka) became a terrible insult, synonimous to “whore”. Hundreds thousand of girls who went to war to protect their homeland with their very lives, who came back injured or disabled, with medals for valor, had to hide it to protect themselves from public scorn.
Look at this dumb person.
Point at them and laugh.
Wearing wigs has never been a “lolita rule” and its only really become a popular trend in the past few years.
Don’t you know? The new “rules of Lolita” are:
1) ALWAYS WEAR A WIG
2) circle lenses are the most important thing you can do to your face
3) wear at least 3 petticoats
4) Border prints are the only acceptable print.
5) Only prints are acceptable.
And by “new” I mean things we all got sick of like 2 years ago that the new generation of rule nazis are claiming to be how it was always done.
I used to wear circle lens like woah, because a couple of years ago it was easier to order -9.00 lens from Korea than to get regular one in my podunk town. But ever since I tried normal, comfy one-day lens, no way I’m sticking that shit in my eyes other than for cosplay.

Everything was brill! I loved the movie. I had some reservations after I went to the pre-premiere screening and Brian Burke talked about trying to appeal to the Trek-haters.
I have A LOT of feelings, but I obviously cannot speak about the plot and I’m no good at obscure description. No, wait: uhura was awesome. I’m all for Kirk-Spock-McCoy, but Kirk-Spock-Uhura was too goddamn cute for words. Trust me on that one: I hated how they wrote Uhura in XI movie and I loved her in XII. I mean, I’m still all for space husbands, but I’d really love to read some S/U fic. (Don’t judge. Saldana was AMAZING)
Anyway. The only thing I HATED was Sherlock fans. Who the FUCK comes to a Star Trek premiere in Sherlock cosplay?! Assholes. Also: they fucking cheered Cumberbatch more than Kirk and Spock COMBINED. It made me so angry.
Unfortunately for BC, there are going to be fans who can’t ever separate him from Sherlock… and will follow him, wherever he goes, no matter what he’s in, dressed as Sherlock. It’s something the poor man’s going to have to deal with… and I don’t envy him at all.
BC’s appearance in STID will be pure, beautiful and tasty gravy for me. I was going to see the film anyway, no matter who played the villain as I loved the first ST so much. But BC is pure, molten chocolate gravy and I can’t wait to see it.
1. BC wasn’t even at the Moscow premiere.
2. Barring, like, ten people who won invitations at random movie web-sites, the whole of fan-zone was from trekker and sci-fi con forums and were specifically asked to come in Trek cosplay or at least Trek t-shirts.
3. ST is not a BC movie, and the character he plays is a purely Trek character. BC is a good actor, alright, but turning a 45 yo fandom into a “woo-hoo, another movie with Sherlock” is fucking insulting. Every time I hear people coo about going to see “a movie with evil Sherlock”, I foam at the mouth. NO. JUST NO. GTFO.
