Stunning. I really want to add a piece of hair wall art to my collection. Hoping that maybe the birthday fairy will help me out.

black Chantilly lace is for when it’s 1865 and you’re too vampires to function

John William Godward,A Congenial Task (Detail) 1915.

[whiskeyinyrshoes]

Just a few weeks before, no detail of my life had been big enough to merit my attention. The Chinese laundress could have ironed a hole in my skirt and I would have tossed a nickel on the drum, thanked her kindly, and worn it to the church social. After all, where I came from the mission was to pay as little as one could without stealing, so on those rare occasions when you got home and discovered you had the unbruised melon, you had good reason to suspect you didn’t deserve it. But Wallace deserved it. At least, as far as I was concerned. So, if the color of a new sweater clashed with the color of his eyes, I sent it back. If the first four shaving soaps smelled too flowery, I told the girl at Bergdorf’s to bring four more. And if the porterhouse steak wasn’t thick enough, I stood right there at the counter and watched Mr. Ottomanelli swing his cleaver until he got it right. Taking care of someone else’s life—that may have been what Wallace Wolcott was running away from, but I found it suited me just fine. Then, with our errands behind us (having “earned” it), we’d cocktail at an empty hotel bar, dine at a nice restaurant without a reservation, and stroll back up Fifth Avenue to his apartment, where we could trade novels and divvy up Hershey bars.

Amor Towles, The Rules of Civility (189)

I finished rereading this book more than a week ago and I come over all teary and verklempt every time I think about Wallace. A third read and I may be well and truly done with non-fictional humans.

On and On and On and On

JD-

A while back some very evil wizards did some very evil things so a bunch of good wizards teamed up to stop it. The evil wizards were then defeated, yay the end.

Now, a bunch of American business heads are trying to push a very evil change of US policy on net neutrality, so people came together and stopped it. So they tried again and people came together and stopped it. So they’re trying again-

What in saying is, FCC commissioners, American cable company lobbyists, and Congress if you allow this to keep happening- YOU ARE LITERALLY BEING WORSE THAN DEATH EATERS RIGHT NOW!
