I Will Be Honest Guys, The Red Portrait Of King Charles Is Gorgeous Asdfghjkl

I will be honest guys, the Red portrait of king Charles is gorgeous asdfghjkl

it's a bad portrait. Like. Objectively. It does the opposite of what's intended. It looks like the painter is insulting him. If it was in a contemporary gallery with no context you would see it immediately as the ambivalent criticism of Charles's reign, how he fades into the overwhelming red background as a tiny little figure, small and insignificant, insufficient for the clothes he's wearing. It reminds my of Goya's portraits, how they were so 'realistic' that they ended up making these great figures look pathetic to the viewer. So these are our rulers?

the sheer novelty. the surprise and shock, the kinda cunt it's serving for no reason. I. I love it. It's an incredible portrait by Jonathan Yeo. By the sheer fact that Charles, the man, is impossible to portray as greater than man because he's just such a nothingburger of a dude. So a portrait made to make him look huge and interesting made him be swallowed in red brushstrokes. The butterfly, that reminded me immediately of " we will all laugh at guilded butterflies", draws more attention than him. It looks like an omen. It looks like a warning in all this red. Something is not right here.

This is the best royal portrait ever 10/10

how to get spoiled, and activate the gentleman inside every man

1. create a persona

i don’t care if you had no father figure, lived on government support and collected coupons with your mama

the moment you step out the house it’s time to put on the biggest act of your life

you have to make it look like princess treatment is all you’ve ever received in your life

you have to make it sound like every other person that came before him spoiled you rotten and you’ve gotten used to that lifestyle

2. don’t ask, assume !

instead of asking if he’s picking you up with his car for a date

say “when should i be ready for when the car comes”

instead of asking him to open doors for you 

say “ i just know from talking to you that you’re the type to open doors and be a gentleman”

when you hold a man in high regards and expect him to be a certain way, he’ll want to rise to that expectation, no one wants to prove you wrong and that you’ve giving them a higher value than they are

3. thank them for things they haven’t done yet        

when you meet for dinner or when the check comes, smile and thank him for “treating you” to dinner or”inviting you” to dinner, this will remind him that this was his idea, he’s the one doing the pursuing and he shouldn’t be making you pay for something that’s supposed to be a treat 

similar to the point above, when you express gratitude for something that hasn’t happened yet, it just makes them look cheap/ an assh*le if they don’t do it

4. set up the scene for future providing

when watching movies for example, if the couple in the movie goes on a luxury vacation say “what if that was us”, “it would be so cute if we did that”, in the street if you’re out and about people watching and you see a cute older couple with flowers, point it out and say how cute it his that he still brings her flowers, complimenting and pointing out treatment that you want to receive let’s the man know what your love language is and what he can expect to be praised for in the future by you

finally, this advice works on men who already like you and want to impress you, it helps you set the tone of the relationship, there is no amount of “tricks” that will get someone who is uninterested in you to provide for you!

7 STEPS TO CREATE YOUR SIGNATURE EGO/HIGHER SELF:

1. DETERMINE YOUR WHY.

Why do you want an alter ego? Are you lacking the confidence to go for your dream job? Do you want to stop attracting people that are not worth your energy? Are you just bored with your look and want to take on a new persona? Regardless of your intentions, you need to be real with yourself and determine why you want this. Chances are, your reasons are not internally motivated. That’s okay in the beginning, but if you truly want to level up, you need to be in this for yourself. Create a list of at least 10 reasons that you want this.

2. CONSTRUCT HER PERSONA + LIFESTYLE.

What is her personality like? Are they more confident and boastful, or are they more humble? For this part, I find that it is best to envision yourself 5 to 10 years from now, and imagine that you are a fly on the wall just watching your higher self go about her day. Determine what kinds of people she interacts with, what she eats, how she responds to stress, what her hobbies are, etc. Create a list of every detail about her persona and lifestyle.

3. GIVE HER A NAME.

This isn’t the most essential step, but it can be fun. You can put a lot of thought into this, or get inspiration from your favorite movie character. Whether it has meaning or not is up to you, but be sure that it works well with the image that you are creating. Create a list of names that resonate with your most confident self.

4. SELECT YOUR ROLE MODELS + LIST THEIR CHARACTERISTICS.

Who do you idolize most? Is it a celebrity, a family member, a teacher? Consider the people that you admire and determine what it is that you love most about them. What about their character do you enjoy? What skills do they possess? What do they do for a living? How do they start their day? How is this person most like your higher self? Create a list of their skills, their characteristics, interests, etc.

5. CREATE HER SIGNATURE SELF.

Start gathering images that best represent your higher self. It is important to find images of women that you look most like you. Consider images of women’s makeup looks, fashion looks, hairstyles, etc. You will want to create a signature style for her. How does she wear her hair? What fragrance does she wear most? What do these things say about her? Create a list of every detail about her physical appearance.

6. BUILD YOUR BLUEPRINT TO BRIDGE THE GAP.

Create a chart that clarifies your current self and distinguishes it from your signature ego that you have created. Once you have determine who your higher self is and what her life is like, it will become more clear for you to determine the best way to channel her. For starters, you may find that you’ll wear your hair a certain way and put on your best makeup look to assume this role. Once you begin to vibrate with your higher self, you will find that your transformation will feel more natural as it moves from superficial qualities to lifestyle changes. Create a list of 5 milestones that you would need to reach to get closer to being more like your signature ego.

7. CREATE YOUR SIGNATURE SELF SHRINE.

This is my favorite part. Once you have your higher self acutely refined, start planning your Signature Ego Day. This day will be dedicated to you assuming your higher self in her entirety. You will look like her, talk like her, walk like her, and so on. Celebrate the woman that you have created in any way that you deem fit. You may be inclined to take yourself out to dinner and show up as your higher self. You may want to schedule a photoshoot and channel your inner goddess. You may end up dressing up in full gear and spending the day working on your business plan. Whatever goal you have in mind—whatever your why—dedicate this day to showing up as your higher self. Document as much of this day as possible. This will be the start of your Signature Self Shrine. Pick a place in your living area, and dedicate it to building a shrine to your higher self. You can use this to store images of yourself living as if, receipts from places that you love, text messages that prove feedback that remind you of how powerful your higher self is, etc.

What is the most recent way that you have showed up as your higher self?

Hello 👋🏾 🤗

You mentioned this a couple times when it comes to dressing in the workplace, to find local brands. Can you elaborate more on what you mean like do we shop at a luxury boutique, how can we tell good quality clothing, where to find a good tailor for your clothes, or anything like that?

hi <3

Yes I can. Here's the thing, luxury shopping is a waste of money, simply put. Armani and versace do not import fabric from mars or craftsmsn from Jupiter it's the exact same thing as your local designer selling a better piece that's tailored to your body for a quarter of the price,and you're not signalling to people that you're a reeeeech girl so you're not getting unnecessarily overcharged and stink eyes from other colleagues because they feel threatened.

Here's what makes luxury, luxury- exclusivity. That's it.

What I want you to signal with your clothes isnt 'im reech so I don't need a promotion' it's 'im put together, I'm classy, I'm elegant, Im sophisticated and I was raised right. Also, I'm mysteriously wealthy, take a guess but I'm not giving you any hints.'

That is to say no sequin no shein no blush on cheeks no sparkles no girly girl no overdoing no flamboyance just, quiet old money vibes.

Few things say 'i don't feel the need to perform to please you' as local hometown brands do. If the fabric is very high quality, the right fabrics with the right type buttons and zips for the right body types with the right silhouettes AND with a tiny little brand logo you look as old money as they come. Tell me, have you ever seen Princess Charolette in Ralph Lauren? Even though it's marketed as old money? Nope. Because luxury brands are costumes to cosplay being wealthy.

Now, brands also protect you from low quality experiences so do get a very high quality knockoff chanel pin for half price and save money while signalling what you need to.

Steps:

Find a local tailor with sample garments that look classy

Go fabric shopping for high quality natural fabrics

show them the designs (corporate ver) that you want

Get your clothes tailored

Have them place some form of personal signature. Whether it's a bone button on the collar or a tiny little logo you made up on the breast pocket, have them place it in some noticeable place. Tiny. Tiny little detail that'll be part of your signature.

Get basics, so you can mix and match.

Done. Save tons on designer, look put together and sophisticated and mature and raised right and, and, LUXURIOUS. because luxury isn't a brand thing it's a look thing.

Deal with your basics. Seamless underwear. Stockings for skirt days. Close toe shoes. A tie maybe. Flawless skin, rich supple hair, beautiful short nude colored nails (or french tips, white) and the bags. Plus, scents.

Never tell anyone where you got your clothes from or what your perfume is. Ever. Gatekeep like your life depends on it.

Save tons of money (if you get your basics right mixing and matching is easy, so you don't need a lot of garments.

When it comes to good quality clothing, well that's not exactly my area of expertise but I did take a styling class so I'll do my best here. Good clothing is dependent on a few pillars

The type of fabric.

Your color seasons, undertones and skin tone

The stitching, buttons and zips if any

How well it's tailored to your body / sits on your silhouette

Simplicity

Your body type

Ease of pairing.

Since this is a corporate setting, let's stick to it as a reference for this list

The more natural looking the fabric the better. All but leather and silk. You can get away with silk but leather has a sexy element to it, unless it's a bag it shoes please don't. We are talking, Cotton. Wool. Tweed. Linen. Sisal. The more natural it looks, like something you'd see on an animal or a farm, the better

It's 2024 you can get your color analysis done by AI for free do not be lazy. Here's a failproof plan; your top must compliment your face, which is to say if you're on the darker side (darkskin black or brown) a white blouse will wash your face out and steal all the focus, and if you're white / light skin, a black blouse might be too harsh (and even on the sexy side). The colors in between follow the same rule, for your basic top choose three colors just above or just below your skin color. Your bottom (pants or skirt) can be anything really, and your coat must be in between. Try for colors with your bag.

stitching- you can tell. When the hems are all over and the stitching does not allow symmetry of patters or shapes if any and if you- you can tell s high quality cloth just by the stitching. Shouty zips and buttons look cheap - could be real gold or silver and it will still look cheap. Pearl like buttons stitched well are much better, bone looking and black buttons matte are basically gods in this area and you can get away with metallic looking buttons if there's some sort of emblem on them. Buttons with some fabric on them, if the fabric matches the cloth- godsent. Zips also shouldn't be shouty or plastic, god's sake, please, and if they can be covered please do just that.

Clothes that are tailored to your body automatically look expensive. Not too tight that it's vulgar and not too loose that it's absurd. Here's a fail proof formula part 2; only one can be tight- your top or bottom. Loose skirt x fitted blouse is okay. Well fitted pants x loose blouse can do it. And, it always looks good (if your body type allows it). Coats and blazers not too boxy and usually, should fall just a little under your hips. If they'll not be buttoned - or exactly on your hips if they will be.

Body type - YouTube exists lol. Pinterest? Google??

Ease of matching - we are the working class we have to think of our ROI (Return on investment) and think hard. You do not want to pay all that for a cloth to find you can only pair it in one way. How many ways can you pair it with other pieces in your wardrobe to come up with different outfits? A quality cloth is a Solomon level lover- 300 wives 700 concubines.

Skin, hair, shoes and bags will save your entire wardrobe, trust me. Clear, clean skin, minimal make up, short nails with simple manicure, low heel shoes and bold, block bag will save you. And of course, minimal perfume.

All the best, love.

being an adult is just dragging urself kicking and screaming to things that you will enjoy and that will be good for you
