“Flaming June, an 1895 painting by Frederic Leighton, was discovered in a chimney by a construction worker and sold to a junk shop for the value of its frame.” [X]

Poetry attack! I thought you might like this one:

Once I loved a spider

When I was born a fly,

A velvet-footed spider

With a gown of rainbow-dye.

She ate my wings and gloated.

She bound me with a hair.

She drove me to her parlor

Above her winding stair.

To educate young spiders

She took me all apart.

My ghost came back to haunt her.

I saw her eat my heart.

-Vachel Lindsay

Oh that reminds me of Lady Dimitrescu...

Cab Stand at Madison Square Garden, 1900 by Sanna Dullaway

I just bought this as a canvas print for my new office, I love it! I wanted to commission some fanart for the office but didn’t want to explain why I have a portrait of a hot blonde guy or a gorgeous dark-haired guy, or a portrait of them both...

This looks to me like a photo Armand coordinated, sending a mortal out during the day to take pics in an area of New York City that he liked at night, and then Armand colorizing that photo by hand. So it’s a teensy VC reference for me while still being wholly appropriate for public display ^_______^

Like the spider's web, it would attract.
