Alright folks, that’s it. Hope you had a wonderful, fancy Halloween!

“Portrait of a young woman dressed as Boadecia or Mother England,” circa 1900. Image from the Powerhouse Museum via Flickr Commons.

“Woman in period costume,” circa 1925. Image from Australian National Maritime Museum’s William Hall collection via Flickr Commons. It may be a publicity photo for the popular musical Madame Pompadour, or it may be a fancy dress costume (possibly inspired by the musical).

Happy Halloween fancy ladies! Even though I haven’t been posting much lately, I’m going to have a bunch of posts today to celebrate my favorite holiday. Have fun and stay safe tonight!
