top five secrets (not yours), top five illusionary ceilings, top five fashion collection from this season
top 5 secrets
i appreciate you putting the caveat of "not yours" in this but i'm an open book. i've discussed a lot of personal things about myself on this blog so i genuinely don't think there are any secrets about myself i could reveal.
who really killed JFK. i am not a conspiracy theory believer in any idea of the phrase and largely that's down to the fact that 99% of conspiracies are american made and i think they only exist because americans are notoriously bad at not knowing history from around the world so they invent conspiracy theories to not have to admit lack of knowledge. but holy shit, i know lee harvey oswald shot at john fitzgerald kennedy but i also know he had no time to reload that fast and two bullets were shot, so who fucking shot JFK? i just need to know. whisper it in my ear, CIA, i promise i won't tell anyone.
what's in the pope's box and what's listed on the list of avignon. i don't want to be pope for any sort of religious belief reasons or political gain; if i were just doing it for catholic gain, i would stop at cardinal cos i think they're fashionable as heck and i look great in red. the only reason i would ever wanna be pope -- and i really can't claim i would be a good pope, leading the catholic church in a better way than those who came before me. i know i am not beyond corruption -- would be to get my hands on those two things. what's in the box? show me. show me right now, francis. i will share my last pack of cigarettes with you cos i know you smoke, bestie.
where are genghis khan and alexander the great buried. don't get it twisted, i'm not saying we go find them and then crack the sarcophagi open -- leave the dead where they lay, i'm glad all those white "archaeologists" who cracked open tutankamun's resting place died. but i wanna know so i can personally go and pay respects. i just wanna know. i just wanna know.
where are the crown jewels of ireland. just give them back, colonisers. put them into my hands, lizzie, and we'll help you win a eurovision.
what's the recipe for greek fire. this one feels like an oversight. someone, somewhere has to have written this down. there's no way that the byzantine empire had flamethrowers that shot flames that withstood hitting water and no one wrote the fucking recipe down.
top 5 illusionary ceilings
ok you definitely think i'm smarter than i actually am cos i read those two words, and even tho i not only know what "illusionary" means and what "ceilings" are, but i also have favourite illusionary ceilings, i said, aloud, "what the fuck does that mean?"
don't worry kids, you can be a total fucking moron and still come third outta 60 in your masters class as well. i'm doing great!
the unfinished angel battle in the chiesa di san pantaleone, venice.
this one in versailles.
the ducal palace, mantua.
the holy cross church, brzeg.
the ceiling in the great hall of nymphenburg palace, munich. (is this even illusionary or just a pastoral fresco? i seem to have misunderstood the assignment at the final hurdle.)
top 5 fashion collections from this season
brandon maxwell'ss aw21 collection. i could talk about this for paragraphs but i already have so i won't bore people again.
mugler aw21/22. self explanatory.
i hate that i'm saying this one cos i have such strong feelings about the fashion house continuing after lee's death when he was so adamant it would end with him, but the alexander mcqueen aw21/22 collection is the first one i've been truly interested in since his death. it reminds me so much of his highland-themed collection and it tugs at my heart strings.
moncler 8 palm angels ready to wear 21/22. maybe it's the cowboy hats or maybe it's the pile of red dirt beside the runway but this one tickles me. i know i need to get over my distaste toward horses to be an actual cowboy, but this ticks so many boxes for couture yeehaw agenda. (not to be confused with moncler 6 or moncler 4 or palm angels' fall collection.)
and finally, i liked a lot of what hanifa brought to the table but i'm not ready for colour blocking to come back with a vengeance. many pieces are fire but please, please don't bring colour blocking back yet. i'm barely over the bullshit we went thru last time.
