Thinking about how when my oldest brother took Japanese classes his professor was like your pronunciation is really good 😊 but you need to watch movies that aren't about the Yakuza because you sound like a criminal

One of the most famous Greek depictions of a "barbarian" is the “Dying Gaul,” carved during the Hellenistic period in the 200s BCE.

This wounded soldier can be identified as a Gaul because of his metal neck ring and facial hair.

By the way, this man isn’t just naked because the Greeks often sculpted people in the buff. Gauls were famous for fighting naked — a sign of “barbarian boastfulness,” according to Dionysius of Halicarnassus.

Ishioka began her career (1961) in the advertising division of the Japanese cosmetics company Shiseido and in the early 1970s opened her own advertising agency, where her avant-garde campaign for the boutique chain Parco made her a star in the design world. Her work as production and costume designer on the 1985 film Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters won her an award (shared with the cinematographer and the composer) for best artistic contribution at the Cannes Festival, and she won an Academy Award in 1993 for her costume design for Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992). Her design for the Miles Davis album Tutu won her a Grammy Award for best album package in 1986, and she was nominated for the 1988 Tony Awards for set design and costume design for her work on the Broadway play M. Butterfly. Ishioka designed costumes for the musical Spiderman: Turn Off the Dark(opened 2011) and for the Cirque du Soleil show Verekai (2002). In addition, she was director of costume design of the opening ceremonies of the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing.
