Ha! I get the reference! Its always fun to watch all those old shows and see no gloves,no washing up beforehand, no sterile strips....

Colonial corsets are actually a tad more uncomfortable than Elizabethan/Ren. but they're pretty similiar, most of the difference is where the hoops, petticotes and panniers or bum rolls are, and the size of them. Alot depends on the station of the person, wealthy or peasant etc., and occupation, unless it's court garb, linen and wool are our friends.

The Vikings are a custom job for a magazine, they're very FANTASY/WAGNER, with horns and all, but I'll have a great sword collection afterward.

Ooooh, fantasy Vikings. I would expect that they would have very pretty swords. ;D Thanks for the corset info.

Aaaaaaah, the good old days. I think they did have sterile strips and individually wrapped sterile things, but no gloves. My bicycle got hit last week (bruises only) and the paramedics who showed up had blue hands. I don't know why they use that color of gloves.

So that they're sure they have gloves on!

Glad you weren't to badly hurt, but that had to be scary. Sorry about your bicycle, hope it wasn't to badly damaged, I know you use it for transport alot.
