August 19: This is the birthday of Coco Chanel, the originator of the classic look of "Little black dress and pearls". My brother didn't call her a slut! He called her a Nazi. And...he had facts to back it up. Well, I only did this because Love Nikki has a dress called Chanel I wanted to use. I'm also doing sinners, saints and everyone in between in this challenge. I'm going to post Diane von Fürstenberg separately later in case anyone is that offended by fashion designers who sided with the Nazis. Speaking of siding with Nazis....

August 20: This is Foundation Day in Hungary. It is Saint Stephen's Day, the first monarch of Hungary. I made a figure based on Hungary from Axis Powers: Hetalia. Unfortunately, there is no frying pan in Love Nikki so I just gave her a rifle. Hungary in APH is depicted as a kind and motherly type, until you've done something to piss her off. Then she shoots, hits you with a pan or crawls into your room while you sleep and whisper what she wants you to do.

August 21: On this day in 1791 the Haitian Revolution began. It all started at a voodoo ceremony presided over by mambo Cecile Fatiman. She sacrificed a pig and called upon the goddess Erzuile. Some say she was briefly possessed by her. Cecile exhorted those present to rise up against their French oppressors and liberate Sainte-Domingue. Love Nikki needs more POC faces. This is the only one with dark skin and green eyes. I think that's supposed to be a lollipop or Pocky in her mouth, but my brother thinks it looks like a Virginia Slim. Well, tobacco is used in voodoo ceremonies. Personally, I prefer to use Pocky.

August 22: This is Be An Angel Day. And the game finally dropped Sanctity Angel just in time! I thought I was going to have to buy it or use something else in white if I didn't have enough hour glasses. Since angels aren't real, we have to take it on ourselves to be angels for others. Take the time today or any day just to be nice to someone who needs it.

August 23: On this day in 1876, Annie Oakley married Frank E. Butler. I did one of her in her performing clothes, (I'll post it later.) but here's one of her in a wedding dress. In the musical Annie Get Your Gun she and Frank sing a song called "Old Fashioned Wedding" where they discuss their wedding plans. Annie wants a big, fancy wedding in a big church with bridesmaids and flower girls. Something ornate like this would've been fashionable at the time. Annie has been portrayed by blondes, brunettes and redheads. I gave her long, brown waves like she had in real life.

August 24: This is National Knife Day. This is a day to celebrate a tool that man has used since the stone age. Not much to say here. I picked out stuff that was simple and lively that went together well.

August 25: On this day in 1885, Laura Ingalls married Almanzo Wilder. I don't remember the Little House on the Prairie TV series well, so I'm going with the books that were based on the life and times of the Ingalls family. She had an old fashioned wedding in a small church, but like Annie Oakley she believed in love and honor but not blind obedience. She wanted to marry Almanzo before his busybody sister had time to make trouble, so she married in a fine black cashmere gown she recently made, deciding it counted as something new and hang all superstition about wearing black to a wedding. She borrowed a strawberry pin from her mother to be something both old and borrowed. Her blue was the lining of her bonnet, but neither of the bonnets I have are anything like blue, so I gave her a veil. Having second thoughts on that shawl, though.

Today is National Dog Day, a day to celebrate man's best friend! It's the last week of August, which means school is starting for many, if it hasn't already. Cowgirls, lemon juice, bow ties and two ladies named Mary will also be celebrated this week. Look out for them!
