    Fashion is a fickle beast that molds and shifts with time, spawning new styles ranging from the modest and practical to the wacky and eccentric. This video will focus on the latter, and with the birth of human civilization giving rise to social structure thousands of years ago, there are no shortage of bizarre trends throughout history! First we'll dive into the bizarre trend of a fake limp, taking after an iconic princess of the age. To follow that up, we'll explore one of the pointiest fashion trends: Crakows. Finally, we'll learn why there was a period of time where everyone was crazy for pineapples!

      Dude, the gardener wasn't painted by King Charles. He was literally part of the painting to show the glory of the King. It's the same as when white people were painted with slaves pointing to them or handing them something on a platter. It was to glorify the white person and show that they were rich enough to own slaves.
      The gardener is literally just set dressing. I don't remember if his name is remembered or there is a record of it, I hope there is, but he will have been completely overlooked by much of history. It was an honor, yes. But it's not exactly the way you described.

    That thing with the Pineapples is actually very similar to Tulips. Beloved for their beauty, prices for still living bulbs skyrocketed during and after a tulip plague, causing them to be seen as status symbols with the wealthy having massive sects of their gardens dedicated to them. Funny thing is that tulip sellers eventually began taking pre-orders for them, proven in the form of vouchers which could later be turned in or even sold to someone else for a profit, leading to an actual speculative market on tulips... a speculative market on flowers, which obviously eventually crashed.

    From what I recall (A story told to me by a Spanish receptionist many years ago), the reason Spanish has so many 'strange' sounds is one King has a lisp, so his court copied it and it was spread throughout society. (That's the short version).

    • @Bacopa68
      @Bacopa68 Před rokem +4

      Possibly, but Spanish has interdental sounds in all dialects. Remember "cada dia" is "catha 'thia". There is a precedent for an interdental "s". Interdentals are rare in European languages, and rarer in the rest of the world. Spanish and Greek have them. Germanic languages once had them, but only Icelandic and English retain them.

Annapolis has quite a few. I have seen them in Charleston, NYC, and New Haven as well. Never been to Boston, but I bet they have cast iron pineapples. Some places in Alexandria have cast iron pine cones as a less gaudy sign of hospitality. The cone variant was popular with Quakers and also some Catholics who were kinda like how Bono is now.

    Hey Bluey! Got an idea for a topic- inspired by your image of King Charles II de Spain- abnormalities of royalty (you know, because of all the inbreeding, errrr BLUE BLOOD CRAP) like the Habsburg Jaw (so attractive) featured on Chucky boy.
    There’s a plethora of deformities to showcase and make us all incredibly grateful to not be of royal bloodlines.
    Like Czar Nicholas’ son and hemophilia, oh and also worth mentioning, how the entire royal clan of Europe was literally related within 1-2 bloodlines! Queen Vicky’s relations were all running various countries- so much so that Tsar Nicholas and King George looked like freaking twins separated at birth. I’m always stunned by how few people are aware of this and let’s be honest, the humor that presents itself is practically unending.

    The three-button "rule" is actually just common sense - if you have to use the buttons, and just one of them, on most people the suit/blazer looks better when the middle button is used. The upper button causes a quite big gap to occur lower down in the front, and use of the lower button only may cause the upper parts to be a bit bubbly.
