LET OP: ER IS NEDERLANDSE ÉN ENGELSE ONDERTITELING BESCHIKBAAR!
PLEASE NOTE: BOTH DUTCH AND ENGLISH SUBTITLES ARE AVAILABLE FOR THIS VIDEO!
In this video, I am making a contemporary version of a Dutch tradition called 'nationale feestrok' or 'bevrijdingsrok'. These were originally made to celebrate May 5th, the Dutch holiday that commemorates end of the second world war 75 years ago. When a Dutch museum organised a competition to make a modern version of this skirt with a nod to the current pandemic, I decided to participate. Anticipating liberation from our lockdown, this is my take on the liberation skirt.

Historical Disneybound GONE WRONG!!!
After meme mom @KarolinaZebrowskax acing the historical version of Snow White, I know you’re all hungry for more of this cute OG Disney princess. But a little birdie told me the princes didn’t read the manual to the time-machine…
…she ended up in Viking age Scandinavia, and I’m not mad about it!

Non-friendly reminder that if you believe in actual fairytales about Vikings such as white supremacy instead of Snow White, I think you should go away and get educated and be less of a poopyhead.
