Of Easter hats and baby diapers

[writerwannabe]

Ok, we've talked about all the big stuff - the meaning of life, is there a God, etc. Now let's talk about the little stuff. The little details that keep us riveted to every scene.

First, I can't believe that we were all suckered into thinking that Lois was at a funeral when we saw her in that hat in the previews. It actually flashed through my mind that the hat didn't look right with her dress, but I didn't pursue it. We all knew Easter was coming up! And not one of us said Easter hat! Did we?

Second, don't any of the mothers ever change a diaper? Sarah handed her baby off the Scott just like Rhonda handed hers off to Verlan. There's probably a rule that baby actors can't be on the set more than two minutes or something, but I just thought it was funny that the two hand-offs were the same.

What details did you notice?

Being a fashion historian, I DROOOOLED all over myself during the "Church Vision" When Bill sees all his ancestors back through time. It was all I could do to not shriek out during the actual show on Sunday night.

HOLY you know what. I sat yesterday went screen by screen to look at all the clothings. Sublime!!!!!!

I totally agree. It was also an important historical look at how the women were not so obviously in a cult when they were first settling the Utah territory. All of the women dressed relatively fashionably. But fast forward a century or two and they are all dressed in Easter egg pastel prairie dresses with those weird braids. Even Emma Smith looked fashionable for her time.

Perhaps an illustration of how the criminalizing of their lifestyle led to the oppression of women.

Yes, now that you bring that up Kathy36610 Im glad they were not percieved in 'pioneer' dress. You know the work worn calico with apron and sun bonnet. That mode of dress absolutly was valid, but only as a stay at home do the work type of dress.

My studies have shown that only the most poverty ridden woman dressed in work worn dresses. Of course depression eras aside.

People dressed very fashionably even in remote places.

heh I always say, "I may not be able to tell you who did what on what date, but I can absolutly tell you what they were wearing!"
