Bloomers, Naked Fashion & a Dress That Weighed 150 Pounds
YouTube video by Strange As It Seems Bloomers, Naked Fashion & a Dress That Weighed 150 Pounds

150-pound coronation gowns.
Lightning-rod hats.
Stockings spun from coal and air.

Fashion has never just been style.
It’s rebellion. Power. Identity.

And it’s strange.

Least dressed? Most fashionable.

A 150-pound coronation gown.
Slacks that caused a scandal.

Fashion isn’t just style.
It’s strange.

An American Dictator, The Flower that Broke a Nation, and a War Started by an Ear?!
YouTube video by Strange As It Seems An American Dictator, The Flower that Broke a Nation, and a War Started by an Ear?!

An American dictator.
A flower that collapsed an economy.
A war started by a severed ear?!

All true. All documented.
History gets weird fast.
