Comment by Yww on Floyd the Cosmic Horror

@Yww At least there's no mention of the lead or mercury face pastes for that glassy eyed porcelain look. Million ways to die in ye olden days. Did you ever specify what genres of music you prefered or do I continue to put the one's I liked that day in the comments?

@Yww Okay, common misconception, but corsets actually just have an undeserved bad rep. Real corsets during that time were made-to-order, that is to say, they were custom made for each individual based on their specific measurements. Because of this, they weren't actually uncomfortable or 'too tight'. Modern media often depicts them as extreamly tight and constricting but it was actually never like that. Sure sometimes people would exessively tighten their corsets, but that was a rarity. Moreover, corsets were actually quite functional. They acted as a means to support the bust all the while balancing the heavy weight of the skirt - tucking the tummy in is only something in widespread media, it was rarely used for that purpose. Infact, women of those times would actually face a lot of difficulty without the corset as the difference in weight and lack of support would make it too difficult to even move around properly.
