How NEW MONEY became OLD MONEY (Gilded Age fashion, 19th century)

I love your videos and also would love your take on Amelia Bloomer and bicycle fashion? For some reason I think those girls were cool and remind me of the characters from Bunny by Mona Awad.

What an interesting thesis! the exotic birds in a guilded cage of the guilded age. I just finished buccaneers so this was perfect for my hyperfixation

This is a great subject Teresa! I love studying history and the Guilded Age is a fascinating time period that has some starkly unsettling parallels to 2024. I don't think that was an accidental slip at all! 😉😂 You mention all things ostentatiously wealthy were Guilded and underneath that veneer of gold is something rotten. Look up East Cleveland Ohio on the interwebs and Millionaires Row, which was the former home of John D Rockefeller during the Guilded Age. If you visit East Cleveland today it has fallen into a dystopian landscape of rotting and crumbling millionaire mansions and empty lots! It is hard to believe this part of the city represented the former glory of a bygone era, the rotten underbelly of Guilded riches from industry that is now in the American Rust belt.

I think I've seen some videos of people driving through the desolated landscape. Gilded no more🥲

Great video Teresa! My brother had the sane shirt you're wearing when he was 14. 😁

[@teresachaotic.corner]

Thanks! 😂 I got the shirt in the men's section during my "dress like a '90s boy/Dark Academia' era, which is still ongoing.

The nouveau riche would wear the latest but the 400 would buy the Worth gowns and put them away for a few seasons so as not to stand out.

The dresses of the gilded aga were beautiful but so impractical. I don't know how women functioned in them. I cannot imagine how they took care of personal business. I wonder if they had the same mother/daughter fashion disputes during the gilded age? The mother who wore the crinoline style dresses complaining about how their daughter's bustle dresses were inappropriate. The complex hairstyles of that time period were ok. For me, the worst hair styles were the short cuts of the flappers and the 50's, aka I love lucy style. Much prefer the straight long hair styles of today. From the male gaze perspective I am also happy that women are no longer covered from neck to toe.
