🧠The more you know:

👑Ancient Royalty and Nobility: In many ancient cultures, red was a color of power and nobility due to the rarity and cost of the dye needed to create it. In ancient Rome, for instance, senators and later the emperors wore togas with a red border, a look that symbolized their authority and status.

🍝Venetian Sumptuary Laws: In Renaissance Venice, sumptuary laws restricted the wearing of red clothing to the nobility, underscoring its association with power and status. These laws were meant to prevent non-nobles from wearing certain colors and fabrics, keeping red exclusive to those of high status.

✡️ Hedy Lamarr, not just a pretty face: Born Hedwig Kiesler in Austria, Hedy had her own kind of “angry inch” to contend with—her Jewish heritage, which *she likely hid for fear of persecution. This did not stop her from inventing technology that not only helped defeat the N***s but is also at the heart of the modern age of communication.🧠

💃 We can thank Hedy, a woman with no formal education and often considered “the most beautiful woman in the world,” for everything from Wi-Fi to Bluetooth.👩‍🔬

*”Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”

🔬🧑‍🔬Bonus factoid:
Another of humanity’s greatest minds, Michael Faraday, the father of electricity ( and balloons) and one of history’s most prolific inventors, also had no formal education.⚡️🔌💡

There’s some wh**es in this house!
The color red has a history of being associated with Jezebels, trollops, harlots, hoes, wh**es, and prostitutes—one of the oldest and most noble professions, in my opinion. Anyone dealing with that many dicks deserves all the flowers!

In ancient Greece, for example, a law was passed that allowed the punishment of prostitutes if they didn’t wear red lipstick because it was thought they were trying to pretend they were ladies. I don’t know about the rest of you, but no one’s mistaking me for ‘a lady,’ whether or not I’m wearing red lipstick.

Who else has some fun facts to share about the color red? Let em rip.

Bonus: what’s your favorite song from the pretty woman soundtrack?

*Are you U.G.L.Y.? You ain’t got no alibi—you ugly? is about to change your life. Keep reading…

The red dress effect:
Did you know that wearing red clothing, particularly women wearing red dresses, can make them appear more attractive and s*xually appealing to potential ‘suitors’? No lie…or ‘no cap’ for the “grown-ass” fetuses. So, put on a red shirt—or even better, a red dress—and take care of that ugly situation in no time…

* Ladies, germs, and everyone in between and outside, you’re all beautiful! You don’t need to wear a red dress for anyone but yourself, but if you want to—hit up overhaulvintage.com and follow for more sporadic posts. And make sure to vote on ‘who gave the best red’ in the following posts; because everyone—even people who don’t know you—knows your opinion, informed or otherwise, is the most important on social media.

Who wore it better?

Marlene Dietrich wore her dress to a costume party in 1935 where the theme was "come as the person you most admire." She came dressed as 'Leda and the Swan.' It's a relatively odd choice since the swan was Zeus, either coercing or deceiving her into s*x. A less savory and more accurate version is that Zeus assaulted Leda, the queen of Sparta, which resulted in the birth of twins, Castor and Pollux.

Björk wore her swan dress to the 2001 Academy Awards, where she was nominated for an Academy Award for her song "I've Seen It All" from the movie "Dancer in the Dark." "I was very aware when I went to the Academy Awards that it would probably be my first and last time. So I thought my input should really be about fertility, and I thought I'd bring some eggs," Björk said, explaining why she wore the dress.
