(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best style & clothing books

Wearing leather and hanging out with men may not help.

> (hand gestures while talking, maybe my voice, my posture sometimes)

Some people who make hand gestures while they talk (not everybody, but
some) seem to me trying to do with body language what they aren't doing with words. It may be that you can get control of this by slowing down when you talk, and being more thorough in composing your sentences.

Record your voice and see if there's anything you'd want to change; practice the changes. You can get books on adjusting your voice if you want.

And stand up straight, like your mother always said. http://www.amazon.com/Posture-get-straight-Janice-Novak/dp/0399525009

Far too many to mention, but a female friend got me this for my last birthday. I'm not sure how I should feel about that :D

Apparently one of his accomplishments was speaking at the Hapa Issues Forum. Looking that up. Its basically a college hapa club that collapsed. Real qualified.

I don't argue with him on some aspects. I totally believe in hybrid vigor and that hapas and other mixed race people have biological advantages over monoracial people.

However i realize that humanity doesnt live solely within biological confines. We are an intelligent species and therefore we have a society and culture. We give certain races and traits value regardless of what biology has to say. Therefore even though hapa men can be biologically superior we can also be socially inferior.

He posted here because he didn't know what /r/hapas was and thought he could sell a few more books. Take a look at the reviews for his book: https://www.amazon.com/Breeding-Between-Lines-Interracial-Attractive/product-reviews/1569808023/ref=cm_cr_dp_qt_hist_one?ie=UTF8&filterByStar=one_star&showViewpoints=0 Tons of one star reviews because everyone knows hes spouting pseudo-science bullshit.

A Guide to Elegance: For Every Woman Who Wants to Be Well and Properly Dressed on All Occasions by Genevieve Antoine Dariaux, longtime directrice of fashion house Nina Ricci.

It is a bit old fashioned but it contains tried and true information on everything from etiquette, lingerie, jewelry, hats, gloves, posture to zippers. It's really my go-to, even sample wardrobes.

It's Late Iron Age, but it is a place to start: https://www.amazon.com/Iconic-Costumes-Scandinavian-Iconography-Textiles-ebook/dp/B01NCMMAZT

Also, this is what (some) women's costumes looked like in the 2nd century BC.

People don't know much about genetics apparently. Sadly this is the reaction I generally get. Race is a really pervasive idea and has gotten mixed up with people's identities so much, I can understand it is hard for some to hear it doesn't actually exist.

EDIT: To anyone in this thread who's interested: Luca Cavalli-Sforza's work is considered the definite takedown of racialism (the hypothesis that biological groups "races" exist in the species homo sapiens). See for example this book for a non-technical analysis. As to why human melanin content differs gradually across the globe, this is due to evolutionary adapation to UVB levels for this see chapter 9 of this book by Nina Jablonski.

I have a signed copy.

Oh yes, sorry, how stupid of me.

Bodies of Inscription: a Cultural History of the Modern Tattoo Community and Inked: Tattoos and Body Art around the World, both by Margo DeMello.

Wahrscheinlich nicht genau das was Du dir vorgestellt hast, das Tagebuch des Söldners Peter Hagendorf kann aber durchaus interessant sein. Das hat jetzt wenig mit den großen Machtspielen der Herrscher und Politik zu tun, sondern zeigt die Sicht eines Söldners und den damaligen Lebensstil der Menschen die nichts anderes als den Krieg kannten. Wie trocken und verroht die Ereignisse teilweise beschrieben werden ist aus heutiger Sicht schon interessant, erschreckend und sehr befremdlich.

Dazu gibt es noch die Aufzeichnungen aus Sicht des Abtes Maurus Friesenegger vom Kloster Andechs, hier geht es eher um die Landbevölkerung, die am absoluten Ende der Gewaltspirale standen.
