If this were 1859, I'd be in my element.Oh, yeah. Totally. You don't get to speak your mind. Married off as soon as possible, probably to someone you don't even like. Pump out as many babies as possible before you hit menopause. No education, much less drama school. Stand still, look pretty. Don't have a brain. Don't wear anything more revealing than a padded bodysuit with a skirt. You want to talk to lots of boys? Shut your mouth, you filthy whore. Go to church, believe in god, for the church says: you are your father's property, until you are married, and then you are the slave of your husband

actually, around that point in time is when some things started changing a lot.
and by "in my element" I was referring only to beauty.
pale was regarded highly. as was the hourglass and dainty wrists/ankles, etc.
as for the other things, yes those were the general decorum. but please, knowing me? I'd be causing scandal, its true. and frankly my dear, i wouldnt give a damn lol
