Here's another photo of Ingrid in the same costume, but wearing black boots this time. I'm not sure, actually, what color boot she ended up wearing in the movie. Note that her boot-toes are scuffed - which actually makes sense for late-war Germany where new clothes would have been hard to obtain.

"Countess", say you?

She might have been trying on footwear for her role in "Where Eagles Dare", as she wears what might be that very pair as part of her costume.

I'm 61 and I'm in the full flower of my #boardwargaming renaissance. I'm trying right now to find a good price on SPI's mid-1970's monster "War in Europe".

A #boardwargaming version of this shirt would be more likely to use sixes, since most board wargames continue to make use of six-sided die.

Will he end up being forced to dismiss Yermak? The man has been his right arm since day 1; you can count on seeing him in the background at literally every event Zelensky is at.

...put into detailing the interior arrangements of a fictional TV or movie space vessel up to that time.

I believe the Enterprise was probably the most carefully thought-out, detailed spaceship that had been shown on TV up to that time; I don't know when Franz Joseph Designs came out with their blueprints of the ship's interior, but I think it was the most intense effort...

So am I. The people who sneer at the effects forget that, in the day, they were cutting-edge - TOS had the highest budget of any network TV scripted show at the time, and SFX took up most of that money.

Simplest answer is that he's had enough of repetitively banging heads with Witkoff et al. over the same things. I mean, this latest scheme must be the 4th or 5th iteration since January of virtually identical "deals". Was I him, I'd be fed up too.

Will he pardon them, though, if the grand jury indicts them? He could take it as a signal that they've failed him, and so be unwilling to bail them out.

See David Kunzle's highly illuminating book (look for the revised edition if possible) "Fashion and Fetishism". Fashion historian Valerie Steele has written a book with a similar title, though a more general analysis of 19th century fashion in terms of sexuality & (usually unacknowledged) fetishism.

And I think we've arrived at why corsetry and other forms of feminine body modification were popular for so long; they emphasize those exact areas of the body - the breasts, buttocks and hips - while constricting the waist area to produce the "ideal" silhouette.

I have the book in my library & will try to remember to check it when I get home this evening.
