Japan's black teeth fashion does make a lot of sense if one considers people in the old days didn't have good dental care. Blackening all the teeth hid which ones were discolored, yellow or missing. Hence the teeth looked uniform, which is prettier than a miss match of good and bad teeth. 😁

Despite the Prince Albert piercing being named after Prince Albert, he did not wear one. What he (and many other men in Victorian polite society) did wear was a 'dressing ring', a popular functional accessory which pushed one's member to one side of the leg so that a bulge did not appear when wearing fitted trousers, giving a more polite silhouette. The Prince Albert piercing was invented by a piercing parlour in the 1970s, and the myth that Prince Albert wore a piercing on his penis was started by this very same parlour in a pamphlet which falsely claimed (for marketing purposes and the sake of gimmick) that his dressing ring was a type of piercing.

People still Shane their babies heads. We just aren't so extreme as to use a board to do it with.

Apparently "the Prince Albert" was never really a part of the actual Prince Albert. It's most likely that it got that name because it's known that he and Queen Victoria were really into erotica (nine kids IIRC), and it was during this period when the piercing became popular. It was a nickname. At least that's what I read. I had believed that he had one, but the source I got the info from (a royal historian) said it was a myth.

the information about the s bend corset and the victorian corsets are incorrect. the s bend was aided by means of padding around the waist, rear and bust to help give the allusion of the shape. the clothing was sewn to aid in this. the shape of the body was not actually changed. as far as "tight lacing" in the victorian times, that was something that was done for a short period by a portion of the population. again, padding was used to make the bust and hips look larger so that the waist would look smaller. the corsets were made to fit the wearer at a comfortable lacing size. it had hooks on it to help hold up all the layers of pettitcoats and was there also to make the garments lay flat and in the style of the time. even some men wore corsets in victorian times, but a different shape. before corrsets, women wore stays or bodies. women at all levels of society wore both corsets and stays. imagine trying to do the daily chores of a house maid in a tight laced corset. they were no more uncomfortable than today's bras. if you get the right size and shape for your body, they are fine. if they don't fit right, they are uncomfortable. how many womany are happy to take their bra off as soon as they get home?

Growing up, I was told to be sure and change my baby younger brother and cousins position every few hours while babysitting so their heads would be round and not flat on one side or the other.

I didn't see any illustrations of an S-bend corset. They're distinctive (and hard on the back.) When you look at the woman sideways, an S-bend makes her bust (and the bust wasn't always covered by the corset at this period) and bottom prominent. These were popular in the early 1900s. And where did the information on piercing come from? I've studied historic costume for decades and NEVER heard this. Now, there were probably things done in Storeyville (New Orleans) and among the courtesans and possibly even certain avant-garde elite, but that doesn't mean it was a widespread fad (unless there's documented proof of this somehow.) Maybe there is. I know one thing: can you imagine wearing piercings with a whale-bone or steel-boned corset? That would NOT be fun. Plus, imagine the risk of infection, and these people didn't have antibiotics. Again, there may be solid scholarly evidence for this, but it reminds me of the sensationalism surrounding post-mortem photos. YES, there were post-mortem photos (I have some), but there's also a lot nonsense about them on the internet. People will sometimes hear a story and misunderstand, embellish, or repeat it without ever really doing any research.

So the target corset in news paper making things up so corset industry would be destroyed cause lots of women to loss their jobs.

Granted, e-girls/boys may count as this subcategory, but from what you've said I think that's the people you're referring to, and they are not the average person, thus it is not trendy nor in style.)

Eating ANOTHER Weird History meal! This time eating spaghetti with lots of oregano and parmesan cheese (inspired from the Weird History Food video "Saucy And Delicious Facts About Pasta") and seasoned corn...while watching this Weird History video!

And this says it all about how seriously should we take our culture's current "beauty standards". It's all arbitrary, none of this is real, natural or compulsory, none of this holds any actual importance. So just love yourself, style yourself any way you like, save tons of money and skip all that social pressure.

A fascinating topic was this.

the lotus feet, or feet binding as you call it actually had the purpose of avoiding the wife to escape since the marriages were always for convinience & money and things like that

They ought to bring back live waterfowl as headwear. Those were the days.

Been sporting the Prince Albert ring tied to my knee for years, I thought everyone had the same problem. My bad.

I'd love to see more gory stories! Like what western / cowboy life was like and stuff!

"17th century" shows various styles from 4 different centuries before, after or around then

Thank you

Thanks for this! 💅 #WeirdHistory #BeautyTrends

The eyebrow drawing thing actually explains the whole "round eyebrows" in their art. And it's not so different from eyebrow pencils nowadays.

@6:40 Terminator 2: Judgement Day is such a great film! For a while, it was my favorite film. Still think of "You Could Be Mine" by Guns N' Roses (1991).

Lmao these videos make me laugh so much. Another great upload hahahahaha

Bustles were really a lightweight accordian framework covered in fabric.

Id like another Decade series :)

I would do the colored eyebrows. I’ve done green at st Patrick’s day before.

@7:59 Mila Kunis was fantastic on the film Black Swan (2010), easily one of the best films of 2010.

love how we still have tanning products specifically for legs (sally hansen) love that for us

I exclusively date apiarists because beauty is in the eye of the beeholder. 🤷‍♀️

What about the fashion of huge fish lips, caterpillar eyebrows and piano key teeth so white they glow in the dark? Oh, wait a minute...that's now!

4:31 I remember reading how beauty patches were fashionable already in 1660s London so even before the 18th century. They didn't portray them in portraits, though.

Safe to say the nipple piercings of the Victorian era caught me WAY off guard lmao

I always watched Weird History. I really dug the humor and intelligent of the guy narrating(impeccable timing). Be pretty awesome to drink with him.

@11:05 I am going to check out that Weird History video "History Of the Corset," it's such a fascinating topic to learn more about!

I can imagine a video being made about today's beauty standards- having surgery to have bigger boobs, sharper jawline, bigger lips etc.

It’s fun to learn about historical fashion trends, but even moreso to learn WHY they were a trend to begin with. There’s little bits of logic behind all of it. For example; strong calves meant you were probably a great horse rider and/or dancer. Especially when ballet became fashionable, so did strong legs. Henry VIII was before ballet’s prime time, though, for him it was jousting all the way.

I think Henry was packing some royal fat in those calves. Most "large" people I know have large calves, and it has little to do with muscle.

Pmsl. Corset and painful practice don't go into the same sentence. They were a support garment. Providing support to back and breasts for carrying heavy weights of outer garments and heavy work around the house and property.

Please make a video about Emma Goldman!
