a history of violence

I'm Lux, a twenty-something-year-old college student who enjoys history, sarcasm, intelligence and a quick wit. Very much an old soul, I am a future doctorate candidate for history a la World War II and novelist. I spend my free time reading about demons, conspiracy theories, time travel and the magic bullet that killed JFK.

My biggest weaknesses include expensive alcohol, Red Dawn parodies and dashing young men dressed in 1940s military garb.

carnageandcarnality asked: I know you have an impressive resource of photos at your disposal, and you're a kick-ass history major, so I feel you may be able to answer this question:
Do you know what a paratrooper's stateside uniform during the Vietnam war would look like? I am getting different opinions from reliable sources, and was wondering if you might know.

I’m actually not sure what their stateside uniforms looked like during the Vietnam War. However I do know there was two different sets, one pattern left over from Korea and then one for Vietnam, which I’m pretty sure was altered as the war progressed. I only know what their combat outfit was.

Sorry :(

Anonymous asked: Would you rather live in the future or that past?

That’s a tough question for me. I love the romantic qualities that are given to the 40s by looking back at it, but there are some strong negatives about those times that we don’t have - or at least not as strongly. I love computers and technology so I’m not sure I could give something like the internet up but if given the chance I’d like the experience that past instead of live in it.

Quick, someone get me a TARDIS.

oathkeepers asked: so my prom is coming up, and instead of dressing like i'm going to a quinceañera or out to da club, i want to make a classy, stylish 1940's dress to wear. i thought that you would be the best person to ask for help, so could you maybe post some fabulous women's fashion of the 40's?

Oh, I did that for my prom back in high school! I had a 1945 cocktail dress :D

I sure can miss, I’ll post some for you
