This one is for Nicole´s FFO and Gillena ... I´m sorry - I just don´t feel like watercolor or anything complicated atm, my job is too chaotic.
And some funnies to laugh at the end of the work week, right?
Jamie Oliver just gave 3 versions in a video I saw last week!
Found this one, two great shows combined, kinda!
"The Dangers of Fashion in the Victorian Era
Deadly beauty rituals
In Victorian times, it was fashionable to look extremely pale, so why not apply some white lead paint to your face? One of the most popular cosmetic products was called 'Laird's Bloom of Youth'."
This was it about about this weird area.
The countdown to Creep:

Back in Victorian days being very pale meant you were a lady of leisure and did not spend time working outdoors as the peasants did. I do wonder why they needed to be "paper-white" though. With most products being harmful to skin, not to mention eyes, I'd say the peasants got a better deal back then.
Cute face! Thanks for the smiles! -Christine cmlk79.blogspot.com
Delightful frames that raise a hearty laugh!
I definitively agree with you! These days in your place, though... no going outside without 50+ sunscreen and hat. So we´re all white, too. Each and every time when I come back people ask me if the weather was bad "in Australia" cause I´m not tanned. Duuuuhhhh....
Thank you and to smiles!
That was my goal!
Dear friend Iris, I love the cat!!! (owner) The good hair day made me laugh! The advice about wearing a coat when answering the door is hilarious! I love your sketch and glasses!
I love Victorian, however, I am aware of many things I don't like about it. I try to focus on what I do like...flowers, the dresses the ladies wore and the Victoria magazine!
Henry is colourful and happy!
Thank you so much for sharing, warm hugs and much love to you.
When I was in Thailand I saw lots of young ladies with white makeup on. Apparently they wanted to be white like the 'white' visitors, thinking it more beautiful than their natural colour. For me a bit of colour in your cheeks is much more attractive.
I like your smily drawing this week, and I might take up the coat suggestion. Haha!
Keep smiling. You can find my post HERE
...Iris, make smiling part of every day!
Happy Friday. Thanks for the smiles.
OOO I like Henry this week. He's ready for the weekend. And you have some super memes too. Although the Star TRek one, since I came from Worcester (Massachusetts) was funny, but forme, not hard to say. Ha ha. Have a super rest of your Friday and start to your weekend, hugs-Erika
I like your Face Off smile! And what wonderful images and other smiles today -- especially Henry!
Happy Friday Iris! How are you? I love your sweet drawing! super cute! I love the quote about sleep. That is totally me. lol I think I asked you before about those characters. Did you make them? SO CUTE! Have a wonderful Friday and a lovely weekend! HUGS! :)
Dear friend Linda, wish I had a good hair day, some time ;-)
Glad you liked popping in, warm hus and much love back, have a great day.
Crazy with white makeup. I get asked if in Australia was bad weather when I come back "white", LOL. Yes, I think I try the coat method, too!
Tom, I try :-)
Same to you and you´re welcome!
Henry says thank you! We pronounce it "Wooster". Wishing you a great Friday, too and a happy weekend, hugs
Thank you and oh, I think Henry´s blushing!
Hi Maria, thank you work day is done :-) No, I´m not into making small things, I´m rather clumsy - that is a bought Halloween-calendar, they´re plastic, some rather useless fun, LOL, To a great Friday and weekend, hugs
Hi Iris, I'm sorry your job is on the chaotic side right now. Just remember to take some time for yourself to relax. I love you smiling girl with the way too cute eye lashes. Great funnies and OMG I would not have made it in Victorian times. I would have definitely been a rebel. LOL Thank you sharing with FFO and have a very nice weekend.
Oh, Nicole, today was a good workday :-) The lille girl says thank you and yes, I´d be a rebel with you, too! LOL, have a great weekend, dear host!
Happy Friday My Dear
Stay Fancy ,
Cheers
Henry looks ready for a party, Iris.
I love the funnies.
The same to you, Dear, Cheers!
Yep, RedPat, he still has the power! To smiles...
I've seen documentaries on the lead paint, crazy that they didn't know much about it back then, didn't Queen Elizabeth 1st use it on her face? No wonder it was mangled when she was old.
... in the name of "beauty" - so sad!
How appropriate having a cat on a cat machine. :) Have a fun weekend.
Ah, some ni e ones
I used to look at the old Star Treknon TV back in the day
I recently stated looking at The new series with Jean Luc Picard on Netflix, having a blast binge watching
Thanks for linking to AFFF
MUCH♡LOVE
Great post Iris ... full of smiles, thank you.
Henry does look snazzy :)
All the best Jan
The cat thought so, too! :-)
From Trekkie to Trekkie much love :-)
Thank you Jan, also from Henry :-)
Das Gesicht, das du gemalt hast, gefällt mir echt gut!
Dankeschön :-)
Good Picard joke!
