Tulle




Can't talk about tulle without showing Molly Goddard's work

Orange bunches

Molly Goddard has permanently been tied to Killing Eve through this famous dress.


Delpozo

Dries, of course!


Sailor look from Giorgio Armani

Not about the gown, love the veil - and glasses on top is hilarious! 

Love the veil and the gentle ruff underneath it

Great veil, dress not to my taste 

cute little ribbons and i like the sparkles

Hobson v Gorringe

I find this way too funny.

Bad Omens

Again I was disappointed by a Neil Gaiman TV adaption - this time Good Omens. I really tried, but it just didn't do it for me. Great setting though. Ignore the captions, I like the subtitles on :)























That escalated quickly.

From episode 1 or 2 of the first season of Covert Affairs. 



A Transfixing true crime quilt




I enjoyed this review of the Alias Grace limited series starring Sarah Gadson from James Poniewozik in the NY Times. (Which I absolutely loved by the way!)

I really liked these points to remind us that just because something comments on the "now," doesn't mean that is its only relevance (bias of being a history student).



Last Call

Very amusing.


Learned Hand

What a name! I wonder if his parents had his career in mind when they named him - something to live up to?


Learned Hand, in full Billings Learned Hand,


(born Jan. 27, 1872, Albany, N.Y., U.S.—died Aug. 18, 1961, New York City),

American jurist whose tough and sometimes profound mind, philosophical skepticism, and faith in the United States were employed throughout a record tenure as a federal judge (52 years, from April 10, 1909, until his death).

Although he was never a justice of the Supreme Court, he is generally considered to have been a greater judge than all but a few of those who have sat on the highest U.S. court.

Last Man on Earth

I've been enjoying watching the post-apocalyptic comedy The Last Man on Earth, particularly because of the one, the only, Carol Pilbasian. Phil annoyed me a bit in season 1, but I stuck with the show because it was overall quite amusing, but I am enjoying it even more in season 2.
Some of the best parts of Carol's quirky personality are her crafts, jokes, and clothes. Don't forget the raisin balls!!!

These are just some of her outfits that I like - she definitely does take advantage of the fact that there are not many people left in the world, obviously raiding some expensive boutiques to get her Kenzo, Moschino, Opening Ceremony, Alexander McQueen - of which you can find a decently comprehensive index here.

Apartment Vibe

A screenshot from the Scandi show Black Widows, which I didn't really get into.
But I liked some things in this apartment.

Song similarities



The sort of synth ominous 4-6 or so note chord progression (totally making up the term) from Bishop Briggs' Hallowed Ground reminds me of Simon Says by Pharoahe Monch.
