Victorian Ladies' Fashion

[Dean_Gretsch]

Someone left this little stack of stones at an area stream today. My imagination turned it into the title...

A little, tiny (and somewhat misplaced) inuksuk!

Thanks Gentlemen! I must confess, I had to look up " inuksuk " and found out it is indeed NOT an Eskimo ladies' fashion

Sorry I fail to see the connection....??

It's ok, Jeff. I am sure many do not. The top 3 looked like her hat, the 4th is her head, the 5th is her shoulders and then the rest become her dress flaring out toward the bottom like the dresses of the time did. Here is a page of pics as an example: Loving the stripes! Late 1880s | Victorian inspiration | Pinterest | Victorian, 1880s fashion and Bustle

It was all the rage in Victorian Pittsburgh.

I saw it, but she lost her umbrella.

I have always had a great imagination, Jeff. You are not alone in not seeing it, lol.

We should ask JC if he has any glass negatives

Finally! Another person that might be as nuts as I am

 

[Jeff G]

She's got quite the bustle.

Yes, the Marilyn Monroe of the rock world!

Indeed!

The word inuksuk means "that which acts in the capacity of a human."[10] The word comes from the morphemes inuk ("person")[11] and -suk ("ersatz, substitute"). It is pronounced inutsuk in Nunavik and the southern part of Baffin Island (see Inuit phonology for the linguistic reasons). In many of the central Nunavut dialects, it has the etymologically related name inuksugaq (plural: inuksugait).[citation needed]

While the predominant English spelling is inukshuk, both the Government of Nunavut[12] and the Government of Canada through Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada[13] promote the Inuit-preferred spelling inuksuk.

Agree with snowbear, we have a bloke who goes to the beach here and he builds them up quite high.
