Sunday Rhythm

Breakfast. The sound of the porcelain chime against the saucer. Precise. Almost ceremonial. It is rhythm.

No one rushes, not really. Someone folds a newspaper slowly. Thoughtfully. Someone else scrolls absently, then looks up when the coffee arrives. Outside, the city stretches in quiet movement.

You are alone, but not solitary. Surrounded, yet untouched.

One Dress a Day Challenge

October: Silver Redux

Molly's Game / Jessica Chastain as Molly Bloom

This silver minidress appears in a brief scene where Molly is talking to one of the players her poker game. It's only seen from the waist up, which is a shame because it misses out on the interesting contouring of the body and hemline. We do see a bit of the "barred" effect on the sleeves and back.

A close-up of the label reveals that the dress is by Hervé Léger.

As a fifteen year old I was taken to Dublin for the Centenary of Bloomsday. Although I was already well-read because of my literary parents, it was seeing how the Irish revered and celebrated their most original author that I think ultimately led me on a path to becoming a destitute writer myself!

16th June 1904 was the day that JJ first went out with Nora Barnacle, the hotel chambermaid that would become his wife. He then chose that date to set the events of his extraordinary magnum opus Ulysses, as Stephen Daedalus and Leopold Bloom interact with each other in and around the city of Dublin and incidentally created one of the most iconic women in literature, Molly Bloom.

And coincidentally is my birthday...
