Someone needs to hear this.
Someone needs to hear this. Doesn’t matter where you are , who you are. You need to hear this. You need to hear how important it is to mind your own business.

Georgian fashion
The Georgian Era had one of the most beautiful “fashions” of any Era, but it was also a very ‘impractical’ fashion.
