In this area re-enactments mean prairie and Civil War garb. Not nearly as beautiful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/revolutionary-fashion#post-1616027 Sun, 14 Feb 2016 23:45:21 +0000 Beth Ann 1616027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachy, I was thinking a duel or two might thin the presidential field a bit.......... or solve Senate disputes. &nbsp;Of course, that's a bit morbid. &nbsp;Maybe we could use paintball guns? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/revolutionary-fashion#post-1615977 Sun, 14 Feb 2016 21:57:46 +0000 unfrumped 1615977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/revolutionary-fashion#post-1615958 Sun, 14 Feb 2016 20:58:06 +0000 rachylou 1615958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Omg. Someone would actually watch cspan! The whole of congress should have to rap their way thru every speech. We will not be persuaded any longer by ties but by who has the best beats! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/revolutionary-fashion#post-1615937 Sun, 14 Feb 2016 19:53:18 +0000 Beth Ann 1615937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachy: &nbsp;There are quite a few clicks on youtube, although mostly I've enjoyed the show by listening to the soundtrack in my car. &nbsp; Imagine if cspan had a rapping congress. &nbsp;What would happen to the ratings, then? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/revolutionary-fashion#post-1615927 Sun, 14 Feb 2016 19:14:03 +0000 Sal 1615927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks a fun show- thanks for sharing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/revolutionary-fashion#post-1615924 Sun, 14 Feb 2016 19:05:41 +0000 rachylou 1615924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wanna see hip hop in frock coats! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/revolutionary-fashion#post-1615879 Sun, 14 Feb 2016 17:17:24 +0000 Beth Ann 1615879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenn: &nbsp;I grew up in a town with a French trading fort along the Wabash River. &nbsp;The Voyageurs wore those red caps, and I would see them around my town every fall! &nbsp;I didn't know the liberty caps carried slogans -- I'll have to check that out!</p> <p>Diane: &nbsp;Sewists always notice the costuming! &nbsp;King George has a couple of catchy songs -- although I must say that is painted with a bit of a Monty Python brush. &nbsp;So glad I can enjoy drinking British tea, without thought of tossing it into the harbor! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/revolutionary-fashion#post-1615857 Sun, 14 Feb 2016 16:44:21 +0000 Anonymous 1615857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds amazing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/revolutionary-fashion#post-1615848 Sun, 14 Feb 2016 16:39:23 +0000 Angie 1615848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Spectacular.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/revolutionary-fashion#post-1615820 Sun, 14 Feb 2016 15:51:39 +0000 Beth Ann 1615820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Because there is so much spoken word, the storyline is complete in the soundtrack. I swear my son learned more details about the Revolutionary War from the soundtrack than he did in his social studies class!</p> <p>And maybe I can find a use for a velvet topcoat? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/revolutionary-fashion#post-1615818 Sun, 14 Feb 2016 15:47:27 +0000 Jenn 1615818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm reading the latest Outlander book right now, set during the Revolutionary War, and there was a section where she describes <a rel="nofollow">liberty caps</a> that just fascinated me. In some ways, it seems so modern, these young men wearing red knit caps with slogans on them. I could easily see a trend like that coming back today! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/revolutionary-fashion#post-1615777 Sun, 14 Feb 2016 14:04:02 +0000 Helena 1615777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So cool ... I think this concept is a great way - possibly the only way - forward for period pieces, which invariably represent a time when most of us were not part of the club. *gives leo dicaprio side-eye* Fantastic costumes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/revolutionary-fashion#post-1615745 Sun, 14 Feb 2016 07:02:27 +0000 Kaelyn 1615745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>An acquaintance I went to high school with is part of the team for Hamilton! I'm not sure what he does, I think some kind of behind the things deal. He isn't in the cast. I do love Broadway and interesting costumes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/revolutionary-fashion#post-1615737 Sun, 14 Feb 2016 06:23:39 +0000 Brooklyn 1615737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have heard a lot about this show. Sounds fantastic. Would love to see it. And yes, the costumes are interesting too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/revolutionary-fashion#post-1615732 Sun, 14 Feb 2016 05:55:52 +0000 deb 1615732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would love to fly to NY to see Hamilton. A great way to bring Broadway to the modern age. (aka rap). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/revolutionary-fashion#post-1615715 Sun, 14 Feb 2016 04:41:53 +0000 Beth Ann 1615715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My students have segued from strains of Les Mis and Phantom to the hip-hop spoken word and tight harmonies of "Hamilton," a new musical based upon the life of Alexander Hamilton. &nbsp;If you're unfamiliar, here's an excerpt of an interview with its creator, Lin Manuel Miranda:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2qKfg6I2NQ">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2qKfg6I2NQ</a></p> <p>I'm fascinated by the fashion: &nbsp;There are Jefferson and Hamilton, debating in a rap showdown of a cabinet meeting, in elaborate coats! &nbsp;Hercules Mulligan appears in a Patriot's uniform and a do-rag, dancers in sleeveless uniform jackets, and women from the bordellos in period undergarments, riding breeches and boots. &nbsp;Oh, and course, the lovely Schuyler sisters, draped in silk of sherbet shades -- with modern hairstyles!</p> <p>So will my students sport corsets and petticoats for prom? &nbsp;I think not! &nbsp;However, I could imagine a pair of riding boots and leggings, a period-inspired vest with a sleeveless, ruffled blouse. &nbsp;</p> <p>And I am "Not gonna miss my shot!" </p>
