that pinup post just made me think of jiang cheng the calvin klein model
You know that exact genre of post WW2 novel where a sexily depressed and traumatized British aristocract with daddy issues scandalizes everyone by taking up modeling in the brave new world rising from the ashes of generational trauma?
#i think the upstairs downstairs reboot did this too#but also feminism was involved that time#i genuinely don’t know what this genre is called#there is always a cast of thousands#a million pov switches#multiple affairs#some social climbing#a secret love child#etc etc#often they start in the 20s and span a couple generations#my mother was very into them for awhile#the sunshot campaign as a catalyst for social change not jiang cheng as a british aristocrat#obviously
