creeeeeeeepy

So while doing dissertation research, I came across this: the animated Sleeping Beauty in Madame Tussaud's. It's the oldest figure still on display in the museum; it's been there since the mid-nineteenth century. In 1851, one visitor said that "you instinctively move softly, lest she should be disturbed in her slumber".

Jeg lurer på om korsetter fører til bekkenpusting (lunger skviset omkring osv). De var jo uansett ikke så stø på fysiologi, viktorianerne.
