Costume Drama and Fashion Plate Wallpapers

[olde_fashioned]

I've been rounding up all the various images that have been collecting in my files, and so this time I've got 8 different wallpapers to share. :-D There are various ones of both adaptations of Pride & Prejudice, as well as one of North & South and several different fashion plates.

As ever, do not claim these as your own, please credit/comment if taking, and enjoy!

Teasers:




PLEASE NOTE: Numbers are above, not below, the wallpapers, and please tell me which ones you're taking, not "snagging a few!" because I worked really hard and am of a curious nature and I'd like to know what's popular. Thanks! ;-)

All wallpapers are 1024x768 unless otherwise noted.

[note: I made a Friend's Only banner that
matches Wallpaper No. Four HERE]

















The subjects are as follows:

five: Regency ball fashion plate with a Pride & Prejudice quote

six: a pair of Regency fashion plate ladies

Nice!

I don't know that I like them that much, but I am fond of them. :) Colonial has a special place in my heart.

*bows*

Muchos gracias!

Oh, me too, me too!! Colonial and 18th century gowns are my first love. :-) I'm not exactly sure why, unless it's because I always wanted the American Girl Felicity doll when I was little. ;-) She was (and still is!) my favourite.

;-D

Did you know they TOOK her out of the magazine?! My colonial fan friend was outraged!

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

They did WHAT?!?!?! I knew they'd all but decomissioned her but last I saw she was still in there, next to her imposter friend Barbie Elizabeth.

[midenianscholar.livejournal.com]

No, she's out of the magazine. She still exists, but not in their magazine. >:(

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

GRRRR!!! *sticks out tongue at Mattel*

[midenianscholar.livejournal.com]

Unrelated, again: Do you have an IM service? I just downloaded LJ's (though I use AIM and hotmail). I was just curious if you use one at all... :)

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Alas, not that I'm aware of -- but come to think of it, my-ISP-that-shall-remained-unnamed-since-you-know-it-anyway has an IM feature, only I don't know how to use it. *hides in shame*

Does Gmail Chat count? *hopeful smile*

[midenianscholar.livejournal.com]

Well, the Live Journal Thing says that it will chat with gmail... :)

(BTW, lovely fonts on your books. You're reading 1776? I'm interested in reading it...someday. *looks at books politely coughing at her*

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Ooo, it does? 8-)

Hee!! You noticed! :-D Yay! And yup, I've finally broken down and started it even though I'm not finished with either of the other two. I've been dying to read it ever since it came out, and I'm really liking it so far. I'm still on the siege at Boston. ;-)

[midenianscholar.livejournal.com]

Yes, it does. Lemme see...I suppose I have to wait until you're signed in at the same time as me. Well, I've IMed you, and I suppose we'll see what happens...

Cool! I need to read it, someday. :D

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

I don't have any IMs!! What happens when I'm not on -- do I get a message of some sort??

PM me your username/address whatever -- mine is olde.fashioned@gmail.com

[midenianscholar.livejournal.com]

I have no idea. I looked just now and it says you're not logged on, so I guess you have to download it. :P

Okay. I'll do it in the morning. Time for bed now!

Edit: Okay, I looked, and it appears it only lets me add you if you have Google talk, which is more like a phone call. Drat.

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Phooey phooey phooey. *sulks*

[midenianscholar.livejournal.com]

*joins you in sulking*

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

*throws pebbles at Gmail and your IM service*

*clears throat* I don't suppose you'd be interested in a free Gmail account? *halo*

[midenianscholar.livejournal.com]

Actually, I think I have a gmail account. :D How would I go around getting a gmail IM service?

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

You think?? Just how many accounts do you have, if you don't remember?? *eyes suspiciously*

You don't have to do a thing, I'm like, positive. Give me your Gmail addy, and then I'll log in and invite you to chat. ;-D

[midenianscholar.livejournal.com]

Okay, well, I thought I did, but I couldn't find my information, so I just made a new one. only took two seconds.

midenianscholar@gmail.com

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's easy. I do like Gmail. Other than the problems with chat causes it to "stop working" spontaneously for odd reasons...

Ooh, I love your username!

[midenianscholar.livejournal.com]

lol, I know. My username is sooooo original. *rolls eyes* I use it EVERYWHERE.

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

*snort* Hey -- at least it's more clever than mine!!
