Before Barbenheimer, there was “Apocalypse in Pink,” the August 1983 theme of fashion/culture magazine SPECTAGORIA. The issue’s controversial imagery of Barbie-esque models attempting to stay gorgeous and glamorous amidst nuclear annihilation sought to, in the words of editor/photographer Sera Clairmont, “revel in the morbid absurdity of the new American condition,” an “anxiety vibrating underneath all our plastic smiles.”

“It’s The Hot Pink Cold War,” Clairmont wrote in her introduction. “It’s ‘Material Girl’ on the radio and ‘WarGames’ at the drive-in. It’s ‘Girls Just Wanna Have Fun’ interrupted by the emergency broadcast signal. We’re told to look sexy, dress fashionable, make money, and spend money, but be sure we’re just the right amount of terrified about the bomb. Get that Malibu dream home, keep working on that perfect body, sip cocktails by the pool in your little pink bikini and watching the stocks go up — but STAY VIGILANT! and for God’s sake vote Republican, because that dream home could melt into a pink plastic inferno at any given moment. Just don’t stop smiling as the blast liquefies your skin into bubbling ooze like a Barbie doll in a microwave - it’s bad for the economy.”

@niuniente i must know more!!!

I don’t know anyone with PhD in Finland personally so I had to turn to Finnish google.

Doctoral graduates (apparently all PhDs, didn’t find any info saying that it would be reserved for certain PhD graduates only) get a sword and a top hat when they graduate. The graduation ceremony is called Promootio and the sword is called Tohtorinmiekka (lit. PhD’s Sword).

The sword as a PhD symbol was first used in Helsinki University’s (back then known as Aleksanterin yliopisto University) 200 years’ ceremonial party, in 1840. The sword symbolizes truth and it’s scientist’s spiritual weapon to find the truth, the right and the good from everything, and also to defend these values. The sword is designed by famous 19th century Finnish artist Akseli Gallen-Kallela (famous for his Kalevala paintings) and it’s an officially recognized national civilian sword of the independent country of Finland.

Graduates have to buy their own sword and  a top hat. The hand made sword is around 380 euros and the top hat  500-800 euros. The promootio graduation ceremony also costs 420 euros. Some decide not to buy any of these for the graduation but rent or borrow the sword and the hat from someone. If the graduate gets their own sword, the sword will be engraved for them. The sword is always black-golden and comes with the university’s golden symbol.

If the PhD graduate participates the Promootio graduation ceremony, they must have both the top hat and the sword. Without them, they can’t graduate.

The sword is always carried on the left side and must be fastened to a hip. Men’s suits have a special hoop for the sword but women have to use belts to fasten the sword. If fastening the sword is impossible, then the sword must be carried in a left hand.
